New video shows passengers panic as plane burns
I will never not be impressed with how absolutely retarded legacy media is.
They're literally just sitting there as the plane's on fire, waiting for instructions to safely exit.
Fucking legacy media ghouls.
I posted this in a reply, but thought it was interesting and relevant so I'll put a snippet here too, and expand on some parts too.
I was curious, and looked it up, because I wanted a Western equivalent cartoon. Daphne from Scooby-Doo is apparently sixteen, and is well known for being hot. No one accuses you of being a pedo if you say Daphne is sexy. It's some weird anime-exclusive thing. It's absolutely an attack on anime.
u/The_Shadow_of_Intent made a very good point and said "when watching a show you're forced into a peer perspective."
People get hung up on ages...of cartoon characters. Anime is often youth-oriented, but with adult themes. Highschoolers saving the world, and such. Putting aside the "loli" thing, we're often talking 15 year olds, or 16 year olds...the later of which I believe is legal in Japan, so that's already equivalent culturally to 18 year olds.
Some people take shit way too far and call you names for liking a canonically sixteen year old fictional character. That's absurd. They don't present as underage, physically, mentally, or story-wise. So that's even sillier than arguing over lolis. They're cartoon characters. If the story only works if they're very young, that's a bit weird, but almost always the story would work the same if they were twenty or thirty too because, again, all the actions and stakes are serious and adult.
You often wouldn't even have to change the character design at all to age up some of these characters from highschoolers to adults. If they're fictional characters already indistinguishable from adults in every way, and the only issue is that they're canonically sixteen instead of mid-twenties...yeah, there's nothing wrong with finding them attractive.
Back, briefly, to the loli discussion itself. Lolis are clearly very different from what I described above, because their appearance is not indistinguishable from an adult character. So this is what OP is talking about, that conflating "underage" with "loli" is silly and doesn't make sense.
Back to the Western example, thinking Daphne is hot does not make you a lolicon or a pedophile, and it would be absurd to argue otherwise. No matter how anyone feels about lolis, the overly broad application that OP is talking about is completely ridiculous.
not a pedophile for the reason stated.
Careful with the phrasing there. It sounds like you're saying you're a pedophile for different, unrelated reasons. And, to be clear, I'm just having fun with the phrasing, not calling you a pedophile.
Their personality and look is what makes them attractive obviously, and when watching a show you're forced into a peer perspective.
This. So much this. People get hung up on ages...of cartoon characters. Anime is often youth-oriented, but with adult themes. Highschoolers saving the world, and such. Putting aside the "loli" thing, we're often talking 15 year olds, or 16 year olds...the later of which I believe is legal in Japan, so that's already equivalent culturally to 18 year olds.

Check out the plane that caught fire last year at Haneda Airport.
Checked it out. Wow.
Not sure whose fault it was, but what a terrible experience to be that pilot...you're coming down for a normal landing, apparently smack into a smaller plane killing five people, and then you have to suddenly adjust to being on fucking fire and worrying about saving your own life and the lives of your passengers. Absolute nightmare.
By all accounts everyone did an amazing job considering the circumstances, and they got nearly four hundred people off the burning plane, calm and orderly, in under two minutes.
Also, even in the comments, the strong Japanese culture and solidarity strike again. A Japanese airliner crashing is not just some isolated incident, but affects all of Japan. Powerful stuff.

On a lighter note, it's hilarious that in the second one there's anime characters on the side of the jet in the foreground, while there's fiery (but mostly peaceful) wreckage in the background.
Even the nicest, cleanest, best-run cities with the most polite people look like amateurs compared to Tokyo.
And apparently Tokyo isn't even their nicest city, and has some problems too. Probably the nicest for most foreigners, though, since it seems to be the foreigner containment zone.
I really should get to Japan at some point. Seems pretty amazing, in many different ways. Putting aside culture, it's just gorgeous geographically too.
You're right that it gets misused or misunderstood often, and that there's likely an intentional or malicious aspect to that...but I'm just so tired of the "loli question" discussion overall.
It's just such an unpleasant discussion usually, because you have very obsessive people both for and against lolis, who will act like you're the worst person ever if you don't believe exactly what they do.
Everyone just needs to chill.
This is just so embarrassing. And he doesn't even argue the point well, which makes it doubly embarrassing. You're there on a podcast, stating your belief. At least have actually thought it through enough to argue the point beyond 'no one can be mean to Jews, and everyone has to call it out when they are.' With no reasons provided for either statement.
"It's not enough to not be racist, you have to be actively anti-racist." He's lecturing the right while being indistinguishable from the left himself.
Woke right strikes again.
You can't make this shit up.
I'd already seen this nonsense in the 'here's why Trump is really super duper ultra bad behind the scenes quotes' thing, but it's hilarious they are actually trying to spin what seems like an obvious joke into some sexual weirdness.
This is super brazen. Enemy of the people indeed.
Check out the plane that caught fire last year at Haneda Airport.
I'll do that.
People don't like to hear this here, but even with all this crap, flying is still way safer than driving yourself - even with the exemplary driving skills that I have no doubt everyone here has.
I'm pretty awesome, it's true...
And, yeah, I'm exaggerating. I never flew much (was relatively poor, and didn't need to for work or anything, so wasn't a big part of my life), I wasn't scared of flying, I'm still not, and I realize we're just catching a snapshot of when things go drastically wrong but, still, it seems like things have gotten much worse. It's still almost zero percent of planes that fall out of the sky, or have doors fall off, or spontaneously combust. But it's a significantly higher zero than it previous was. Still probably safer than driving still though, you're right.
Honestly, the most worrying aspect of flying has already come and gone. I was sort of worried I'd never fly again, when all that covid passport shit was going down. Also, the family I was somewhat close to overseas has passed on anyway, so my main reasons for travel has dwindled. Maybe I'll weeb out fully and go to Japan some day, or something, but other than that I'm pretty fine where I am.
Sorry. Not buying it.
To be blunt, Canadian nationalism is hilarious because, uhm...Canadian...
There's no way all those troops are both elite and battle-tested and, even if they were...so?
100k ain't getting shit done.
You're kind of proving OP's point. He said Canadians don't understand scale, and think they're way stronger than they are, and you came back with that your guys are elite...
The ending is the best part.
The flight, operated by the same regional carrier involved in this dangerous incident last month...[shows footage of the Toronto plane just absolutely exploding after botched landing.]
It really is a miracle no one died there.
Everything about this clip is amazing.
Also, I'm so glad I don't fly...but also sort of sad I can't anymore. The option to fly was cool, even if I almost never did it. All these retards in charge of the planes is rather worrying though.
Some serious Sabaton energy going on here. Resist and Bite springs to mind.
Also, honestly, this is the route they should have taken...assuming they wanted to make a good game. It's Ubi/AC, so they definitely contracted with some "historical experts."
But they were all liberal Western Experts™.
If they'd actually bothered to get one or two unapologetically pro-Japanese experts into advisory positions, they'd have a hit.
This wasn't hard. Everyone had been clamoring for it. Just take what made the earlier ACs hits, and set it in Japan...respectfully. That's it. You're good. Best AC in years.
OP, sorry if I'm shitting up your thread, I'm just responding to things as I go. This is some interesting stuff.
If anyone was curious, here's Terry Crew's full interview.
I was curious about the context. Sadly, the clip in Doyle's video doesn't seem out of context. It's better in some respects, but worse in others. He's got some good points, and some bad...and is also letting himself get led by the female host.
I will say, I think Crews is a good dude, and a smart dude, actually, and has been through some serious shit, but he's definitely a lib, and a bit of a cuck. His heart's in the right place, but he's bought into some harmful narratives.
I mean, I think that's pretty much what they say they mean but, like I said, it's generally just a political attack that means 'not going along with our leftist, feminist energy.'
But I think I summed up what many leftists would tell you they mean by the term.
"Sacrifice your life while your family works their asses off to pay for the welfare of foreigners who hate you and your culture!"
"Also...have you considered MAID?"
I love how "Canadian healthcare" has become a slur. A very important lesson to stop when you're ahead. They should have just coasted on 'everyone has (slow, often bad) healthcare.' But they went right past that to 'we'll fucking kill your ass,' like the utter retards they are.
I don't know, even that almost has a 'fake it 'till you make it' energy.
Unironically, "Bacon and mustaches" is a more healthy masculinity than anything the left has perhaps ever put out.
And it's not toxic. Toxic is being a jerk for no reason, and fucking up other people's shit. In my opinion, of course.
The whole video is full of little gems like that
Which is exactly why I like John Doyle. He's super sharp, and his content is well put together, especially when it seems like it's not super scripted compared to other content creators. It's not off the cuff, of course, but I do think he's fairly legitimate. Respect.
But the proper definition of toxic masculinity...would be when men who are not masculine try to mimic what they think is masculine behavior...
I'll disagree a bit with Doyle here. I think 'toxic masculinity' get's overused, and is almost completely a bullshit attack, but the core leftist definition is actually correct; toxic masculinity is the overly or imbalanced masculine, without any of the moderating influences. It's the violence, without any of the respect. It's the coarseness or bluntness, without any understanding. Competitiveness without comradery, and the list goes on. Basically, being an asshole, because you're clueless.
I think non-masculine men actually should try to mimic masculine behavior. I think we'd actually be in a better state if they did.
Doyle's not wrong, I just don't think it's the comprehensive definition. "Toxic masculinity" can absolutely be exhibited by non-masculine men. But it can also be exhibited by masculine men. Masculinity is good. But it's not always expressed healthily, and some legitimately masculine men can engage in "toxic masculinity."
Again, it's almost always an agenda-driven attack, but trying to shift all blame to non-masculine men is a bit of a dodge, in my opinion.
Women don't use language like we do. They detect the polarity of a word - does this mean good or bad? - and then whatever they want you to do is Good Words, and if you don't do it then that's Bad Words.
Not only is this interesting and insightful, but it really drives home the point that the modern left, male or female, is incredibly feminine. It's all feelings and attempts to manipulate. Very rarely trying to convince by argument or by force.
If I do go, I'm going to Hokkaido too. Definitely stopping by the Yoichi/Nikka distillery.
