And they are still actually in more danger from her than she is from them.
It is at least technically honest. Being an asshole for no reason is basically what feminism is.
Jeremiah 1:5-“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you”
Galatians 1:15 “But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace…”
Ephesians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.”
Not everyone believes this means the preexistence of all souls, but a lot do and it's a good point.
The idea, from what I gather, is that it is better to be alive and have a shitty life than to be murdered. Which when said plainly, does make a good deal of sense. If you presume life is valuable and always preferable to not being alive for its own sake, no matter the quality of the life, being in favor of not killing as many as possible, even if they will end up having awful lives makes sense.
Though there are some curious implications when that sentiment comes from a Christian perspective. If the Bible teaches that God knows us before we are born, which it does, and implies that one's soul exists and is with God before being born, and that babies are innocent and not blemished by sin and damnation until after they reach an age of recognition and choice, the 'age of accountability', which most churches do teach and believe...then a natural consequence of that leads to an uncomfortable place: the baby is actually better off being killed and going immediately to heaven rather than being born on earth and having a normal life in which there is a non-zero chance they do not end up seeking salvation. Automatic bypassing of accountability for sin and going to heaven immediately, or having a life, sinning, being accountable for it, and being damned unless one chooses to accept Christ, which not all will.
Some portion of those who are born and live normal lives will end up not choosing salvation and will be damned, whereas if they were aborted...they skip the whole process and are in heaven with the Father. That doesn't sound bad for the baby to me. Sure, for the mother, it's an egregious and horrifying sinful act that will have to be paid or repented for. But for the baby itself, an automatic 'skip being on this shitty earth and just go straight to heaven' path seems like there are no downsides.
The message, while seemingly correct on the surface, erroneously presupposes good if misguided intentions. Like there's some kind of mistake being made or hypocrisy. If you are an enemy soldier sent to invade and destroy a foreign nation, you would not be expected to support that nation now simply because you live there.
It's like that video of Iraqis trying to do jumping jacks from 20 years ago.
I have always found it a little odd that many on the right who say with their mouths that abortion is murder, do not follow through with the actions that should naturally flow from that.
Suppose you are walking down the street, concealed carry pistol on your hip, and you turn to see a house with a large bay window. And clearly in view in that bay window is someone standing over a young child with a large knife, bringing it down in a stabbing motion with the child clearly in terror and holding its hands up to defend itself. Who among the usual types on the Right would not feel justified charging in with their pistol and either shooting the knife wielding would-be murderer or holding them at gunpoint?
Except that's exactly the situation they say is happening in an abortion clinic every day and we see maybe one person every ten years or so actually do more than talk about it. It's an interesting situation. I don't doubt people's beliefs, not exactly, but it is just strange how seemingly undiscussed, basically everyone agreed at the same time that they're not really gonna follow through with taking this as seriously as one would assume it should be.
I saw someone say once that 'every second, 3 more jeets get internet access', and whether that's hyperbole or not, the underlying truth is much more destructive than many think about most of the time.
Fuck off dude. I didn't 'support' shit. I've been the one posting about the encroachment of faggot shit in anime numerous times for over a year. And I pirate everything anyways, so not once cent has been spent on shit that supports faggot stuff. I'd tell you to get off your high horse, but you probably enjoy the dildo you mounted to it too much.
Here's me over two week ago already talking about this exact problem. https://scored.co/c/KotakuInAction2/p/1ASswYLoe8/anime-tourist-create-a-new-termh/c/4ed370ezSrO
The past several seasons have had at least one major prominent faggot anime made by a major studio with lots of marketing. This current season now has two of them. The colonization of anime by woketards and queers is continuing at pace with seemingly no end in sight.
And by faggot anime, I mean guy/guy faggots. Yuri anime has been a thing for a long time, and there have been yuri or yuri-implied anime every season for a long time. Pretty much any anime where the cast is entirely girls is at least yuri-adjacent. Actual yuri anime though has always been more popular than yaoi anime, mainly because straight guys like hot girls, and two hot girls is twice as hot as one. It's degenerate, and one of the ways the queers got their feet in the door, but I can't deny the reason why yuri gets a pass.
Yaoi shit has been kept out of mainstream sight for a while, and is mainly directed at female audiences. The whole fujoshi subculture is absolutely repellent and disgusting, but it's an established thing in Japan. But it used to be mostly kept out of the mainstream, and fujoshis had to play VN games and read doujin to get their fix. That is not to say yaoi anime never existed at all. But it was not mainstream. That is changing, and there has been a concerted effort to make guy/guy faggot anime front and center and mainstead for several years now, no doubt due to western influence.
And now we see them applying their same old bag of tricks we've seen them use everywhere else to anime. Reclassify that which is normal to be the thing that is weird while promoting their gross deviant bullshit as the new normal. Expect to see more of this as anime, and Japan in general, falls to western influence. There already seems to be a directive to make at least one major faggot anime every season, which was only the start, and given that now there are several this season, expect that to be the new standard. Sooner or later, faggot anime could very well become the norm, and normal anime becomes the strange thing in the background.
And as an aside, a connected issue is the rise of femdom anime becoming more mainstream as well.
You swaggering in here like you're scoring some kind of point no one else has thought of lol
I started disengaging from anime around the middle of the season before this one, so there's a lot in my theoretical backlog if I ever decide to go back. I started noticing anime trends going in directions I'm not that big of a fan of. Villainess anime started becoming the 'next thing' and I really don't like that sort of thing. And faggot anime, yaoi, and even yuri anime started becoming a lot more common as well. I've enjoyed a few yuri anime here and there because I'm a guy who likes hot chicks, but they've been really pushing that stuff into a place of primacy over the past few seasons and it's irritating. Anime goes in cycles of what's popular or marketed heavily, and the stuff they're starting to push isn't stuff I like really.
I also agree with OP that Angel Next Door was a nice change of pace from the usual romcom fare. I vastly prefer romcoms where the couple actually is couple over the constant will they won't they shit.
I feel like I'm just growing out of anime in some ways. Anime, and a lot of Japanese cultural stuff, is heavily reliant on static tropes and rigid archetypes. Yes, all media is to some degree, but Japan does it on a whole different level. They're the ones who come up with specific names for types of characters based on their personality and assign them standardized hair colors to denote what sort of character this is. A vast amount of anime is assembly line content built from prefab characters and plots.
This comes from the fact that most of it is based on LNs and manga from authors who are always looking for the next series to become a long term running serial so they have an indefinite paycheck. There isn't as much of a culture of 'Here's the story I want to tell, here's the beginning, middle, and end. I told it and now it's over' over there like there can be here. It's why you end up with manga series that lasts decades or light novels with 23 volumes that haven't actually moved anything forward since volume 4. I would love a return to the days when there were big anime series that were 50 episodes that told one complete story from start to finish and then it's over. Just enough to really tell it fully, but not dragging it out over and over to keep the money flowing in.
And I personally have started to find a lot of it boring and repetitive. Like I've had just about my life's fill of it and I don't think I need anymore. Every so often you get one or two shows a season that are trying something new, but even they still end up mostly just trying to do something new with the same tropes. A lot of anime is just the Mexican food of animated entertainment. Same ingredients combined in different ways, and at some point you've tried them all.
I think I've seen enough combinations of the same things were I can predict just about everything that is going to happen in an anime just from the first episode and seeing what archetypes are in the show. Like I watched Smoking Behind the Supermarket last week just to check it out, and while it was fine, a little better than fine, and I know a few years ago I would have really loved it, I could tell exactly what it was from the first 5 minutes. As soon as the first episode was done, I immediately though 'ah, this will be one where they constantly dance around the relationship and think of ways to delay them confronting their feelings and moving the central relationship forward so the author can get as many issues out of the gimmick for as many years as possible'. Then I looked up where the source material is and yep, that's exactly what it is. I don't like being able to call the entire plotline of an anime from the first episode based off seeing the same things done in slightly different ways so many times.
And I know it's easy to say 'just try things you weren't into before'. Except I didn't try them before because I already didn't like it. I don't go for brutal edgelord anime for instance. It just doesn't appeal to me. And getting tired of stuff I used to enjoy does not magically create enjoyment out of other things I used to not like. I still don't like the stuff I used to not like too. I think I'm just moving past anime as a medium at this point, at least for a long while until there are some real changes or if it's been long enough that I forget why I got tired of it.
If the games and movies that are being made today are the stuff that would be in there, no.
Different topic from the usually political deluge. A brand new letter from JRR Tolkien written to a fan has been found and it confirms that Ents were indeed in the Shire prior to the Fellowship starting off, as reported by Sam's cousin Hal, as well as Treebeard already knowing a good deal about the Shire, Hobbits, and was putting one over on Pippin and Merry.
While the known facts about Epstein clearly demonstrate he was an absolutely evil person, checking the rest of the videos that channel has made, Taylor McMahon, shows that he believes and makes a ton of content about some absolutely bonkers nonsense. So take it with a bulk cargo freighter's worth of salt.
An Ian Carroll link? Really? We gonna start taking TYT seriously next?
I've always thought Tulsi was a snake, and women don't belong in politics at all. But posting that leftist whackjob Carroll as the source is certainly a choice.
Notice how much of a big deal the Catholic Church makes about Mary as Jesus' mother, despite how much He was referred to by Himself and others as "Son of David" and "Son of Man", and Mary is almost exclusively only referenced when talking about Christ's early life. The Gospel of John doesn't even mention her by name.
Mike Portnoy has been one of my all time favorite drummers for going on 25 years now, ever since I was a drumline nerd. He's probably right behind Neil Peart for me. Dream Theater CDs kept me company on so many drum corps bus rides.
I have to confess something. Despite hearing the name numerous times over the past few years, I still have no idea who Dave Portnoy is.
I can't watch shit like that. I haven't watched cable news or read an MSM article in probably over a decade. I've even been cutting back on my watching of right-leaning political Youtubers. I mostly read headlines on PDW to get an approximation of whether anything major and real is going on, like when the Iran war started or the earthquake, but I generally don't seek out and consume political content much anymore. Actually watching an ultra-cucked Canadian gay race communism segment would feel like eating McDonald's at 2am after a year of nothing but home raised chicken and vegetables. The sheer nausea and queasiness is a genuine physical response.
That should at least thrill the muslims on this sub.
The black female physique is utterly repulsive to me on such a visceral level that I cannot even describe it. I don't even like White women who are 'thicc' because it reminds me of a negress. "How many of your body features look like they'd fit on someone named Lashaunda" is literally one of the ways I use to evaluate whether a White woman is attractive or not. The further away from that standard she is, the hotter she is.
Long straight naturally blonde or red hair, blue or green eyes, and the body of a Japanese woman but with White skin is basically my peak and has been since about the early 90s when I stopped thinking girls have cooties.
I'm not sure it's intentional well-poisoning. I think OP is just a fucking moron. It is a fallacy to believe that because our side is correct politically, this means we are all intelligent, and the enemy is incorrect therefore they are all stupid. Over time one comes to learn that despite having arrived at mostly correct political positions via one road or another, there are in fact an absolute ton of people on the Right who are blindingly stupid and incompetent.
Someone can have the same views as me on whether or not we should get rid of all the immigrants or whether we should be allowed to own whatever guns we want and all the rest, but if they start talking about the earth being hollow or space not being real or any of that other nonsense, I'm going to correctly identify them as a useful retard. Thanks for voting the right way dawg, but shut the fuck up on everything else. I think OP falls firmly into that category.
So there's a funny thing about air. It moves around.
The white and red combination on YouTube is almost as exhausting as yellow paint in video games.
I dunno, I don't think I've ever used YouTube suggestions page. I only use my Subscribed page and have Shorts turned off.
