Absolutely! People ignore all the off ramps before parenthood and then wonder why they’re stuck on the same road for eighteen years with a kid in the car afterward! You signed up for this!

It’s hard being an aspiring writer who’s not a prude about depicting sex but also thinks it should mean something with regard to the narrative, because I don’t want to sound like one of those people who’s like “ew, don’t ruin my media with sex” but would also just go watch porn if I wanted porn.

I love well-done sex scenes! I think they’re an important part of storytelling because sex is a motivator, an expression of who a character is, and a catalyst for change in characters! When it becomes gratuitous is when it seemingly doesn’t serve any kind of purpose to the narrative.

The thing that immediately struck me in the pilot was when Suzaku’s CO finds him talking to Lelouch and jumps straight to “kill the girl and the school kid, no witnesses to my fuckup” like yeah, huh. They really will instantly roll on the nearest person to save their own ass. That seems familiar.

I also really like her as an alternate pairing for Erik because I get why people ship him with the Luminary but they’re way closer to brothers than lovers imo, and he has a couple really cute interactions with Serena that really got their hooks into me.

I could at least appreciate the pure tragedy of the Geass glitching out and causing Euphemia to order that massacre. But yeah, what the fuck was that table masturbation scene with glasses girl? I assume her obsession with Euphemia never actually goes anywhere, so what was the scene there for?

It's crazy how if someone tries to kill you and keeps trying to kill you and kills your friends while trying to kill you and talks openly about killing you, and then you get frustrated and say "somebody should kill you back," that's illegal

most found out about the Nazi atrocities at the camps after the war was ending; people hated the Nazis but didn't even realize HOW inhuman they were being, retroactively ashamed for tryin to stay out of the war to defeat them

this is being reported on in the present and people still support the GOP

This was the first thing I thought of too, like “wait when did my boy Ryuji Sakamoto who has never done a thing wrong in his life start casting Greater Slur”

She’s so underrated. It’s not her fault she’s in a game next to Jade!

And completely failed to prosecute his predecessor/successor for doing a coup on live TV with the whole world watching. Why are people still expected to have faith that Any Democrat™️ will magically fix everything instead of sweeping it under the rug for another four years and improving nothing?

The number of people who actually thought the nightmare was over after Biden’s inauguration would be hilarious if it wasn’t sickening. Last time we Voted Blue No Matter Who we just paused the collapse by electing a guy who spent his presidency asleep at the wheel-

i also don't get why so many of you who want to hold everyone else except kamala harris responsible for her decisions think someone that coddled should be running the country.

Also yes, objective BANGER of an opening.

I just think the time wasn’t right for that kind of political commentary in the aughts, people thought it was too over-the-top to be realistic. The show fucking HITS today though, because it turns out the real-world villains act exactly the same as the cartoon villains.

I think the first episode alone did a really good job of portraying the craven, bald-faced evil of fascists and the way they will commit any atrocity to claim even a sliver of power and throw anyone under the bus to avoid even a sliver of accountability for their own ideological and literal failure.

I like how it’s framed around the parents being the ones who aren’t ready to talk to their kids about gay issues as if that matters even a little; you brought a kid into this world and thy had no choice in the matter, it’s now your job to answer their questions about it!

I’ve voted Democrat in every election I’ve been able to, man. I’m just saying that eventually our side has to offer something beyond “at least we’re not that guy” and we aren’t gonna get that from a dude who bulldozes homeless camps and has Nazis on his podcast to talk about “men in women’s sports”

Eventually we gotta start just going over those people’s head and doing shit because their opinions could not be more wrong or matter less

I think just one more “no straw for me, thanks” will definitely fix the climate

I’m starting to think that climate change won’t be solved by having every individual person volunteer to accept minor inconveniences

That’s why people are saying now that Newsom better not be the candidate, because not everyone is just gonna Vote Blue No Matter Who anymore. Eventually when presented with a bowl of shit or a shit sandwich, people are gonna decide they’re just not eating anymore shit.

“Bitch fuck you” to a trans woman for refusing to vote for a transphobic slimeball, huh

Man, if ONLY US politics were an anime soap opera. At least that might be entertaining to watch and the good guys might occasionally win anything.
