Re: 2018-10-21: Kobold Killer
I just turn a deaf ear to outrage culture and all the screamers who are a part of it. Enjoy whatever anime/games you like, even if people get pissed at you. Never apologize, ever.
The outrage hasn't changed over the last 50 years but the reasoning kind of has. First everything was too violent. Then it was too sexist. Now it's too racist?

Oh, no, it's still too violent (or at least, it breeds toxic masculinity) and too sexist. And too racist. The reasoning is the same, it's just the emphasis that shifts back and forth over time.dark_lord_zagato wrote:I just turn a deaf ear to outrage culture and all the screamers who are a part of it.

Honestly, I wish they'd just institute some proper censorship and have it over with. I can live with everything on TV being Care Bears-levels of hyper-inoffensive if I have to. It's listening to all this moaning and handwringing that makes me feel like my soul is dying piece by piece.

Re: 2018-10-21: Kobold Killer
After thinking it over for the last month I finally unsubbed from all the political commentary channels on Youtube. I figured there's nothing to be gained by watching them anymore. Even if they say stuff I agree with, it's still not worth my time. From now on it's strictly video games and watching people do funny shit.Baeraad wrote:It's listening to all this moaning and handwringing that makes me feel like my soul is dying piece by piece.
This doesn't mean I don't care about politics anymore. It just means that my political activity is limited to filling out a ballot.
Walking away is always an option. It doesn't have to be forever. If you're getting sick or depressed it might be worth having a vacation.

Probably a wise choice. I've cut way down, too - it's just hard to completely avoid politics while still taking an interest in fiction, and I just can't imagine life without fiction.dark_lord_zagato wrote:After thinking it over for the last month I finally unsubbed from all the political commentary channels on Youtube.

If it's any consolation, it's equally hard right now to avoid politics while taking an interest in facts. I can't imagine life without facts.
Because old is wise, does good, and above all, kicks ass.

Apparently at least part of the issue was that no one at Crunchy Roll actually bothered to even check the content of the Goblin Slayer anime, and just put it up without any warnings or rating what so ever. So even censorship wouldn't have stopped it.Baeraad wrote:dark_lord_zagato wrote:

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. I think I gave up on ever discovering what the facts were a long time ago, so that part doesn't bother me personally.Graybeard wrote:If it's any consolation, it's equally hard right now to avoid politics while taking an interest in facts.

Yeah, but then they'd outraged at the censors for not doing their job, instead of being outraged at anyone who supposedly allows this to exist by not being sufficiently outraged about the fact that it exists.Michael Poe wrote:Apparently at least part of the issue was that no one at Crunchy Roll actually bothered to even check the content of the Goblin Slayer anime, and just put it up without any warnings or rating what so ever.

Then again... I suppose they'd probably still manage to be outraged at me for not being outraged at the censors for not doing their job, so I guess you're right, it wouldn't work. Meh. It's come to something when there's no amount of conceivable surrender that can make people stop beating on you.
