When people say things like “7 a.m. in the morning”. What do people think a.m. means?

Anime just in general.

I know that some of you are probably thinking that I'm being harsh when I state my reasons, but I really feel like neither the Anime scene or the Western TV or Video Game scenes are really catering to my personal taste much at all, although the quality of Western TV and Video Games is less offensive to me at the moment compared to the current Japanese Anime scene.

My current issues with the modern Anime scene:

1. And the most important issue for me, is the borderline Paedophilia that gets represented in a large bulk of Anime, and the fact that a large bulk of the Anime community are onboard with this type of content.

And if it's not Paedophilia being pushed, then it's other weird sexual fetishes like bestiality/furry content, Bunnygirls (they are different to Furries) ugly chicks like the ones in Chainsaw Man, or a new Anime series called Dandadan having a weird Grandma sexual fetish that's being discussed all over Anime Twitter.

I already had reservations about Dandadan anyway, but that just confirms to me that yet again that there's another series in the Anime scene creating a bizarre sexual fetish that a bunch of weirdos lap up and encourage the industry to keep getting stranger and stranger with their fetishes.

We can't get a AAA Anime production where they're aiming for a male demographic that is either not sexualized at all, or doing conventional beauty standards (i.e someone in their bloody twenties, thirties, even forties ffs) and teen characters intended for the teen market tbf.

Instead we get children, a Grandma, and god knows what other freaky thing being sexualized in that industry, it's even more sick than the west's recent attempts at deliberately creating ugly mother ****ers in Video Games, because I can still possibly enjoy the gameplay and story without thinking that a total degenerate freakazoid made the damn thing.

2. The plots in a lot of the modern long running Animes that have come out over the last four or five years have been poor, some of them are so poor that I struggle to remember much of a plot at all in some of them.

Some of them can get carried with a likable cast to see the Season out, but even then they get impacted a little bit because the plot has as much depth as Lily off Big Brother.

3. This one's going to be personal to some extent, so I do apologize to anyone on here that's apart of any of the things that I'm about to say, and that's the Anime community in general.

- A lot of them do support weird sexual content, like I've mentioned earlier.

- A lot of them say "Peak" "Mid" or "Absolute Cinema" in place of forming a proper sentence structure during discussions.

- Animation being seen as a bigger deal than the actual writing.

- Going back to point 1, a lot of the community wanting sexual content over good storytelling.

- Any time a Shoujo or Josei Anime gets made (both are genres aiming primarily towards the female demographic) there's a large bulk of the Anime community ready to slam them because those Animes are "for girls."

That's my rant over.

I have got a few more rants to do, but I'll spread them out throughout the week.

[Mystic Mock]

I was going to do a different rant tonight, but some of the members on DS had to go and **** me off.

Basically I caught an old thread on DS for this series of Strictly Come Dancing that was asking who's the best looking woman in this series (I'm phrasing it how the OP phrased it) and there was meant to be a best looking man one as well, but I doubt that there was much activity on there after what happened.

Basically two to three members came on the thread having a moan and being spoilt sports about the attraction threads existing on the Strictly section (which those threads have been on there every single year btw) the OP rightly said that these people had no issues with the most fanciable pros thread.

Which then saw some of the members not liking the threads trying to justify it by saying "but the pros aren't taking part in the contest" which factually isn't true but whatever, they went on to say that it's okay basically to pick who you find attractive out of the pros but not the Celebs that are participating on the Show was one of their arguments.

One of them even started talking about how the OP presented the thread in a more "objective" way instead of a "subjective" way, even though there was a bloody poll open on that very thread, so the OP was clearly asking it in a subjective way.

Nobody on the thread was being nasty about any of the contestants looks or anything like that.

I swear to god that some people really just don't know how to let loose and have fun, they got a harmless thread shut down for no reason other than their own insecurities, that then got disguised as morality.

I mean the OP even knows that Sam is the most attractive woman this year, so they were even based on that imo.

But honestly how a thread like that caused arguing is baffling to me.

I honestly don't care if there's an attractive woman or man poll on any industry, it really shouldn't be that deep like the few complainers on DS were making it seem.

And well done to the 53 members that voted on the poll, even if I disagree with who won.

[Mystic Mock]

Alright, I'm just going to say it, and it's going to be controversial but **** it.

F1 misses having Lewis Hamilton as the one to beat as he actually has charisma and an actual personality (love him or hate him) plus his era in general did just have more exciting races when he was in his prime, and more exciting drivers challenging him that I also liked to watch race.

We've now gone from that era to psychopath Verstappen who can just get away with bending rules for fun, and Norris who is about as interesting as Thomas off of this year's BB.

And there's nobody really coming through that seems to hold my interest in F1.

Where is the next Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso, or Sebastian Vettel coming from? Amongst many other great drivers that I grew up enjoying race.

…wow, Mock…that’s a whole new level of controversial…I’m glad that you said it…I think it needed to be said and you were that guy…

My neighbour using a band saw in his garage every day.

I think it's just hobby stuff, he's definitely retired.

…I can understand your frustration if little junior is trying to sleep and it’s disturbing…maybe chat with him about it if you get that opportunity …?..

Thanks Ammi.

I am someone that can be very irritable sometimes, if you couldn't tell.

Every day?

That's a bit much isn't it?

…and that’s perfect, Mock…it’s an ‘irritable’ thread and an active thread is a good thing…

I sometimes use a home shopping website called JD Williams, a buy now pay later site.

All was fine for about five years and then about a few months ago, they changed their entire website design and not it's all messed up.

The website is basically white and more white. Navigation is a nightmare. Most of the links don't work and there are a load of bugs on there.

Today I tried to buy something and it keeps saying ERROR, PLEASE REFRESH PAGE.

What's that old saying if it's not broken don't fix it.

Well it wasn't broken but now they've broke it.

True on both points I guess.

Another minor thing that irritates me is how most people in Football these days have zero personality between them.

In the Premier League I only really like Arteta out of the Managers, and I honestly can't think of one player with actual charisma that I like in the Premier League.

It's really starting to annoy me, as even the most die hard Football haters couldn't deny that Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger, Allardyce, and Redknapp (both Redknapp's tbh) have an actual personality.

1. Fish and chips served with tartare sauce. Anything pickle-related can put me off the ting altogether.

2. Nigerian-style fried rice made with hot-dog instead of liver. Still good but I just much-prefer liver. I’m one of those people who actively like liver.

When people say.... "If you know, you know", "I'm as ready as I'll ever be" and when in pub/shop people say, "Can I get a pint of.....".

Seeing what deals are happening on the PlayStation Store (because I'm not made of money obviously) and nearly all of them were either Games that I have already bought or Games that I wouldn't touch in a million years, because they look terrible.

Plus their new "genre" tags are appalling.

[Redway]

These Specsavers-sponsored adverts constantly doing the audio./eyesight rounds on ITVX at the moment. No-one can be that hard of sight/hearing (well, they can but that’s not the point). So annoying.

[Redway]

Corner-shop businesses popping up out of nowhere taking over local, well-established businesses is another one.

[Mystic Mock]

Strictly Come Dancing having winners nowadays that only win due to the public pitying them.

We can all tell what's going to happen this series, and it has nothing to do with the dancing or personality I personally believe.

[Mystic Mock]

Has anyone seen the clip of Dragon Age IV on Twitter of the characters discussing Gender Non-Binary?

I personally don't understand why anyone would want to identify as Non-Binary if I'm to be completely honest about it.

But I certainly don't want a Dragon Age Game having extensive chats about it, because to me the ideology is just a bit weird for me (with all due respect to any Non-Binary member on here) and Dragon Age as a franchise is just meant to have more going on than identity Politics.

Hopefully it's better in execution, as I really don't want the Incel crowd to have yet another victory in the Video Game space, as they'll turn it into the current Japanese Anime industry if their views end up becoming the majority.

[Mystic Mock]

Myself.

I can never just be easygoing about things, even the most trivial stuff imaginable, I'll always find something wrong with it.

I honestly wish that I could be like most people and just accept 90% of stuff that comes my way, or society's way even.

I just feel myself getting more and more jaded and it's irritating, I would like my innocence back.

At the risk of sounding horribly un-PC, I hate it when you order takeout and the delivery driver, almost always middle-eastern and almost certainly a recent arrival to the country, gives you this insanely dirty look as they're handing you the food over, as though they're either

1. Disgusted at the decadent convenience of modern Western society

or 2. Envious of you being a native and thus in a position of enjoying that decadent convenience more often than him.

It's like, I'm sorry I'm not originally from a backwards war-torn theocracy in current year lol. It's not my fault this country adopted principles of democracy, freedom of religion, free trade and consumer capitalism, and human rights relatively early on in comparison to your own.

And yes I'm aware this post is just full of conjecture and massive assumptions, but let's face it, people are rarely sensible when they're this irritated lol. I'm just fulfilling the thread's mission statement. I'm only half-serious when I say all this, anyway.
