Hicks and rednecks aren’t the same thing, although there is enough overlap. And no, the hick has usually been on the wrong side of history. In my experience (born and raised in the rural South) they’re stupid, uneducated, cruel, greedy, have very little experience, and are more authoritarian than not.
Do i get a cool ice bath in return?
Because there aren’t two sides here. WW2 was a war, the Holocaust was not.
Sadly, in real life he be fired and blacklisted from the entire industry.
N-nya!?
Yes! It’s incredibly telling when someone speaks positively of the concept of work, it’s not noble, it’s not necessary, it’s not good. We’ve spent millions of years trying to cut labor out of existence, even before we were humans we were avoiding doing more. We invented cooking to avoid labor, less obvious labor, but still. The wheel wasn’t made so we could do more, it was made so the labor we needed to do was easier. And that’s just labor, work as we know it is a modern (relatively speaking, the timescale is massive) invention that made labor way worse.
LLMs aren’t actually useful for replacing any kind of labor, though, and too many idiots don’t even make the connection that the thing that makes them hate most of their lives is bad.
So is it an unending chain of gayer and eviler people?
I’m trying to be nice about it since this isn’t a political community and i don’t want to cause problems with the mods here, but yes you are correct. This stems entirely from media illiteracy.
That’s just not true.
P4 was so painfully obvious about it’s messages of tolerance and feminism that some people thought it was even more progressive than it was intended to be (making naoto out to be trans instead of the message it intended: acceptance of women in all areas of life). Wonder Egg literally had someone fight a physical manifestation of transphobia that was threatening to ‘cut it off’ when talking to a trans girl just to make it so obvious it’s impossible for those stupid people i mentioned before to ignore it. Killing slimes for 300 years is entirely based off of being anti-work culture. I haven’t watched One piece but it’s apparently obvious in it’s message against authoritarianism, just to point out a big one. Anti-homophobia messages tend to be said out right in long running shows or yuri/yaoi shows. Nothing gets more brow beat-y and obvious than anti-war and anti-violence stories in eastern media.
No, not at all. All art has a message or belief (usually progressive, at that), anime is created in a conservative hellscape and so usually simply has ideas you already internalized and take for granted (freedom from oppressive systems, equality, etc etc). I won’t make assumptions about you, but many idiots and tourists often also just ignore the message of Japanese works and claim it’s ‘apolitical’ or whatever fake standard they pretend to have.
The reason eastern media tends to be better is because it usually has less fingers in the pie. Most of the best anime, manga, and even games can ultimately be attributed to a single person’s vision, either because they had a hand in every production based on their creation or because the studies stayed true to their vision as a rule. That isn’t the case with Western entertainment, Spider-Man has been recycled through dozens of different authors with even more interpretations, it is not the vision of any single person anymore. Not to mention design by committee nonsense that makes up the biggest names in Western media
