    if you’re saying stuff like this

    I’m not. My statement was (quite obviously, I think) an illustration of the bizarre logic of interpreting “A is better than B” as “people who have difficulties with A should be gatekept from the subject altogether and not use B either”.

    Reading literally engages different parts of your brain that are otherwise dormant.

    That’s still not “a lot more cognitive effort” that you claimed, though, and also not proof that it reduces your appreciation of the animation.

    And as I mentioned, sometimes I want to watch stuff while high.

    Who cares? That’s such a specific use case, nobody is arguing for or against dubbing with regards to how much you can follow it while high.

    Sometimes I want to give my eyes a break from using my glasses or reading things in fine detail.

    but it is also very common for myself and a lot of other people to be doing other things and having TV on in the background

    Writing this after previously arguing dubbing is better because it allows you to follow the animation more attentively is just ridiculous.

    This whole discussion is ridiculous, in fact.

    That keeps out the visually impaired.

    And favouring walking and riding a bicycle over driving a car is gatekeeping of transport because it keeps out the disabled. What a bizarre argument/accusation.

    It requires a lot more cognitive effort to watch, and takes your eyes off the actual animation that you are meant to enjoy.

    It doesn’t, as long as your reading skills are above that of a 12-year-old.

    People in the US who watch foreign films in different languages have a similar subculture.

    Bruh, what? Non-English films aren’t dubbed enough in the first place for this to be a metric for a “subculture”.









  • They’re already acting. The guillotine is now erased.

    They’re not touching the “fuck spez” signs, true. Still, remember that in the last edition there was a massive amogus cock extending across half the canvas throughout most of the event and it was eradicated by the end as well. So based on that I wouldn’t bet the “fuck spez”-s will survive either. (Not that their survival would mean anything…)





  • context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnacon

    The first known description of the bonnacon comes from Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia:

    There are reports of a wild animal in Paeonia called the bonasus, which has the mane of a horse, but in all other respects resembles a bull; its horns are curved back in such a manner as to be of no use for fighting, and it is said that because of this it saves itself by running away, meanwhile emitting a trail of dung that sometimes covers a distance of as much as three furlongs (604 meters or 1,980 feet), contact with which scorches pursuers like a sort of fire."
