why the hell do I know a relevant video for this?

Oop, forgot to re-add it when I pasted my transcription. My b

I’ve been in soup mode all year. While you were ripping into ribeyes, I was sipping gazpacho. While you greedily crunched French fries, I supped on hearty stews. While you shoveled down sushi, my bowl ran over with gumbo. And now that the world has gone cold and scarves wrap around your necks, you ask me for recipes? Because I have plenty, there is no shortage of soups worth eating

I wrote it. I FRICKIN LOVE SAVANNAH ANIMALS.

I love African mammals. They all fit sci-fi descriptions in such colorful ways. “The beast stood nearly 4 men tall, with most of its height held by its prodigiously long neck and legs. The quartet of limbs holding this creature up from the ground were long and knobbly at the joints, with the distal edges being mere wisps compared to the hulking muscle held at their connections to the torso, a tiny little oblong thing holding barely a tail. Its head held all of the qualities of a camel, but grander, with a pair of short horns adorning the top of its head, giving the impression of regalia. However its neck was by far its most wonderous piece. A thick, tapering branch rising from the trunk like a beam of light, as if it grew from the sky and was merely planted atop its torso by chance. And somehow, the entire animal found itself wrapped in yellow fur, broken up by geometric plates of brown.”

One of my favorite videos is of a man following these links to their destination and reviewing the plethora of jerk-off games therein. His takeaway was that they were utter garbage, wildly uninteresting, or unplayable. Additionally, he came precisely 0 times.

I always knew they were scams, but I wondered what sort of scams. Somehow, cheaply made trash games never even struck me as an option

For years, I copied his anguished scream. It’s so candid.

Or secrets, if you prefer to think about it sneakier

I asked dlss 5 what to say in retort and it turned a Malaysian man black. Make of that what you will

During the exodus, it felt like 20-30%

A spear is the ideal weapon against an unarmored opponent, idiot. This cat, amiright, folks?

I’d do the same but I feel like it’d be unintelligible, I say, typing on a digital keyboard with my eyes closed, making 0 mistakes

Frieren’s fine. It’s flashy and charming with an overarching story to engage with, even in the absence of any understanding of the complex grief and nostalgia and existentialism. Kids engage like fern and stark and would probably feel safe and curious about the fleshed out world. Fine for 12+

Re zero, similarly, is just a very graphic story about self improvement. It’s, if anything, formative and gentle in its extreme horror. It’s The Diner at the End of the Universe, but Subaru is the cow. Fine for 14+ Imo. (I still consider that kids)

But I agree about berserk. A story about the burden of existence and healing told through nihilism, morbidity, betrayal, and rape is a little too heavy. “Nothing matters, but also fuck you.” That is too many conversations to have in one sitting, and something terrible will slip through the cracks. 17+

There’ll always be exceptions to the rule. But that’s a bit nitpicky, and denies the overwhelming intent, both in marketing and writing, to create stories for children. Is every one of them for kids? No. Are the tropes and agencies created with kids in mind? Mostly, yes.

Death parade, great magus bride, psycho pass, steins gate, frieren, and re zero are definitely tooled for teens. Gratuitous violence, edgy themes, society, recognition of change, expectations, etc. are all things that teens can interface with. These stories won’t mean the same thing to them as they do to you, but they stories are not lost on them.

I like several of your mentions btw. Still accessible media, though.

The Lego box says 4-99. Just because they can’t understand how to free craft, that doesn’t mean that the toys weren’t made for them.

Love me some one punch man. The nuances of the characters are entirely lost on the tikes. They’re still the target audience, in spite of their difficulty enjoying it.

Absolutely. Insecurity over intended audience is lame. Like what you like. I have zero judgement. Enjoying kid-friendly media is fine. I’m watching avatar tonight. Doesn’t mean that it’s not for kids, just because the budget is high and the story nuanced

3/4 of those are for early teens. Personally, I only go for real, mature adult anime like boku no pico and Elfen lied

Because it’s media for kids, which usually means that it’s significantly dumbed down or catered to emotionally developing people. For every Mr Roger’s or Arthur, there are 200 caillous

Hey, I was talking about anime, not magnum opus: the filmography

Correction, most anime is trash. Yes, even the one you’re thinking of. In fact, especially that one.
