Anyone who uses that Egg terminology really needs to be shunned from public life and/or institutionalized. They have basically as good as explicitly stated that the get off on the gaslighting and mental destruction of young men and boys, and also probably society as well.
They're psychotic.
Anyone who relishes in “egg cracking” is a pedophile and should be treated accordingly.
You could lock up every single person who talks about cracking eggs and every 105 midwit who responds to that decree with "oh wow so its illegal to talk about my favorite recipe now???" and lose absolutely nothing of value.
It's a gender bender anime where the main character is cursed where if he's exposed to cold water he transforms into a woman and if he's exposed to hot water he transforms back to a man.
The original run of this story was from August 1987 to March 1996 so if they stick to the original source material, it won't have any tranny pushing like this groomer thinks it will. Japan has LONG done gender bending as that last anime they tried to say promoted trans about a brother turning into a girl turned out to NOT support their mental illness.
This is just another case of tourists outing themselves just like their takes on this anime coming out soon.
If the story was written in 2024 it still wouldn't have any cultural connection to American transgender child rapist mutants.
Asia has long inoculated itself from using 'gender' this way, the closest you'll get is South Korea's feminist cults and fortunately they've lost a lot of power.
They prefer standard corruption and power accumulation than the degenerate mutilation of children angle..
oh i know. I was around when the original manga came out and i've read it
Thought you might but context for others on here as a lot probably are unaware about it.
at least it's not futabakun change
more like Futaba-kun Cringe
I really liked that one, found it recently on the hunt for something like Ranma. It's not Ranma but fun. Not done yet though with it.
Yappa pa, yappa pa, ishanten!!🎶
I wonder how much seething there will be when tourists see it called a curse? Or are translators going to try to change that?
Fetish fantasy isn't bad so long as it REMAINS a fantasy. I've read plenty of fucked up shit especially in the revenge category but no intentions of committing those acts in reality.
The problem the West is particularly vulnerable to is that the fantasy/reality divide in the minds of many is not a strong barrier.
Yeah, this is why proglodytes can't wrap their pea brains around the concept that depiction is not endorsement.
I'm an anime nerd of that generation and we really didn't have a fetish for gender bending. There were some who did but majority really didn't.
Otoh a lot of males of that generation also liked sailor moon
I remember the stereotype of cons being filled up with fat middle-aged men dressing up like Sailor Moon.
I was in to anime for a period when Kenshin, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Love Hina, etc. were very popular. I knew people that were into Ranma, but I never followed it. Anime was then a (like D&D) often a refuge for people who didn't fit into the mainstream.
I don't think it was ever filled but there were definitely some ppl who did that
I will never apologize for enjoying Meatball Head as part of my contingent of Saturday morning cartoons.
The only egg I want to crack is his head open with a sledgehammer.
Huh, even their flattering cartoon avatars are starting to look like ugly men
I don't think a lot of people have read/watched this here. At one time the anime was a popular runner up to Cowboy Bebop/Evangelion/Trigun etc, although the manga is a lot funnier actually. If you haven't read it yet it's online (not familiar with the colorization). For me it's one of the funniest mangas I've read, more relatable to normal people than stuff that depends on meta humor.
Point A, everyone including Ranma knows he's a dude. Nobody ever gets confused except for strangers and psycho gag characters. Once people know about the transformation, they instantly accept his actual identity. It's called a curse, he hates it, and half the plotlines are about trying to get rid of it.
American fans sometimes described the series as a "transgender sex comedy," but in hindsight that was wishful thinking by weird people that would later become groomers (if they weren't already). There is no existential pondering over male and female experiences, nor is there any sex, or even the hint of sex.
Point B, the clear majority of trooners are girls trying to become men, not the other way around.
There are a lot of topless women and jokes about either intentionally or accidentally peeping on topless women, though. As well as at least one pervert joke character. I’m not sure I’d call it a sex comedy, and certainly not a transgender sex comedy, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say there’s “[not] even a hint of sex.”
Which isn’t a bad thing, it’s all well-written and funny, I’m just saying that it is definitely a little racy.
You're right, there's a lot of topless panels and accidental groping is a stock joke. I guess I've been Overton Window'd by trannies getting banged in Playstation games.
It does make me think about how much sexuality is age-appropriate, as Ranma's fanbase had a ton of kids in it, including myself. On one hand you have cute girls, occasionally topless, and on the other hand there are no allusions to intercourse. In my mind it hit the right tone.
Like I said it was tame for japan. Consider in roughly the same time period we had city hunter running in it's rival shonen magazine. The same city hunter with its jokes about big dicks and lecherous humour, sex and trannies and hos.
It's not American tame but it's pretty tame for japan at the time
Personally, I identify as pandagender
Ranma is a straight male that hate that he have curse that turn him into a woman.
Degenerates: "Why are you calling us groomers?!?"
Also, those same degenerates:
These are the same people who made it a top priority to bully the creator of Guilty Gear into saying that Bridget is a girl, despite the fact that "Bridget" was forcibly raised as a girl due to the village he grew up in having a superstition about twin boys. It wasn't even enough to let Bridget be a femboy, they adamantly insisted that he had to be a "transgirl," despite the fact that he never chose that identity for himself.
Was never about allowing adults to live their own lives as they wish.
boy, I can wait for viz to fuck up the animation on this one...
...I miss Kitty Animation...they did so good with takahashi's stuff...
Considering how soulless and disappointing the new Urusei Yatsura was, I have no hope for this.
All these remakes have is prettier visuals from modern digital art and animation tools versus the old filthy cells that weren't always photographed well.
Lum looked great but the Crunchyroll localizers need to be hit with giant wood mallets for what they did to the subtitles.
I guess MAO (Takahashi-sensei's latest work) is doing so poorly that they're not even going to bother animating it. Just remake Urusei Yatsura, remake Ranma 1/2, make an Inuyasha sequel, all these things no one asked for.
Isn't it like 200 chapters. Can't be doing that badly
Oh, it's well into the series, I mean in terms of popularity or interest. It's Takahashi, they'll publish her regardless.
But the fact that we're about 5-6 years into it's serialization, still no anime announcement while having these remakes, tells me the studios aren't taking a chance on it.
this is the creature from that chugga thing isn't it
Yep.
I love this series.
Can't wait for inevitable REEEEEE's it will cause among groomers
I think once with this one was enough. It was fun, and silly, and it sometimes even had a little heart to it. But there were so many seasons and OAVs that I had to tap out. I was running out of shelf space to hold all the VHS tapes.
I have the entire original anime somewhere on my nas
Out of curiosity, what's the file size on something like that?
I re encoded mine to h265 so about 15gb
Thanks for the info. The reason I ask is because I'm slowly filling a HDD with things I taped, and tapes I bought back in the day. So far I have 3TB of stuff in the raw, and the collection is about 40% digitized. It's a long and boring process.
Comment Removed for: Rule 2 - Violent Speech
Rationalizing mass executions
Why don't you fuck off for another 5 or so days, faggot?
"Mass Executions" given those were labor camps you're a bit off the mark.
I'm supposed to believe that the "It didn't happen but it should have" crowd is going to know or care about the difference?
Comment Removed for: Rule 2 - Violent Speech
If you want to argue for executing groomers, try arguing for judicial, rather than extra-judicial means.
I said throwing them in LABOR camps would be a merciful solution (made a typo on that word), and labor camps are judicial, and set up by the government in power. I never implied killing them in that case either, meerly making them of use (which is the most merciful outcome for these fuckers)
Sure, jan.
Sounds based as fuck.
Why does rule 2 exist?
To undermine fed-posting primarily. Secondly because mass murder, or specific murder, is not part of a reasonable discussion. Thirdly because it poisons conversations. Fourthly because you shouldn't be treating each other with such hostility as it promotes flame wars.
These are all bad reasons, but the last one is the most egregiously outlandish by far.
For real though, if discourse is limited solely to pacifism then it is effectively not engaging with reality and is therefor worthless, which is I suspect the point.
There is a difference in discourse between the passions of argument and screaming for someone to "kill yourself". There is no discourse in arguing that your opponent should be murdered. It is, in fact, the appeal to ending an argument; not in exposing the truth in an argument. The argument is an explicit argument from violence, which is (by definition) an argument from power. There is no discourse in an argument from power, this is the basis of the Melian Dialogue. No debate can be had, no argument can be made, no counter-argument can defeat it. It is a demonstration of imminence in violence, meant to end the argument and intimidate the opposite side.
It's old now-a-days, but I remember the championship debate team arguing that white people should kill themselves under the topic of "should the US adopt a renewable energy strategy". They won the debate, because it's not a debate. It is, in fact, an appeal to power. It is "might makes right" which is neither a defeatable, nor debatable, nor falsifiable argument.
So no, Rule 2 stays, because an argument to violence is not anti-passivity; it's an argument to power to end the conversation and engage in violence.
It's the ultimate authority, simple 'as, talk is cheap.
Then just ban fedposting, it's really not hard to have that be a rule instead of muh identity attacks, plenty of purley NS places I inhabit have that as a rule.
What would be the precise definition of 'fedposting'?
Rule 16 is different from Rule 2.
