@CornishRepublicanArmy to me, this is actually an extremely strange perspective
i studied economics in grad school and it seemed to me that we kept talking about all of these costs that are being imposed by profit seeking organizations that are not being counter balanced by regulations
it's interesting, because it seemed like almost right about the time i learned all of this stuff about negative externalities and how they're a weakness of our "free markets" - they stopped really teaching it

@CornishRepublicanArmy frequently, tbh, only i don't tend to cancel myself since the world sucks and pleasant escapism can be fun
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@froyo255 agreed on this point, tbh - actually, from that angle it's kinda sad that they had to (again) resort to really pumping up a male lead as being Utterly Amazing, when actually they could have made a really good show by focusing on Rin
@sadie_bunny @froyo255 oh my goodness, ok so like - Re:Creators was the single most frustrating show that i've ever watched
i wanted to like it, because of the plot and the ridiculously full cast list. yeah no. the entire thing ended up revolving around a truly mediocre Reluctant Male Lead with literally no personality and no non-artificial reason for being important to the story.
anime would be a better genre if they just took all of the Reluctant Male Leads and just deleted them.
callout post, drama
i hate to do this but honestly the shit i have been seeing on the tl and hearing about from my friends has got me seriously pissed off. y'all heard about this hot new mode of production, goes by the handle "capitalism"? yeah well it's not your new fave shade queen. capitalism is racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic, and i have the receipts to prove it
@froyo255 agreed tbh - i think the show would have been just fine without the Standard Reluctant Male Lead (omg, im not fond of tropes at all)
@tibius this is a brilliant plan tbh
@klara this is valid, tbh
i was one of them, and i still feel guilt and shame for some of the things that i pushed out there into the world

@scarly For what it's worth, before that people were trying to use XML for the same purpose.

i'm a gay raven. sometimes a gay cat. i like technology, corvids, good stories, long walks on the beach, and destroying the patriarchy. all before breakfast.
i'm fairly antisocial but if you're interesting and nice then probably i'll be a good friend to have around.
