Well, not just that. We're talking about normie trash that don't understand the weeb subculture. To them, every loli or shota is underage.  Despite the impossibility of such things even within the fictional setting itself. Ryuji and Misato Wakana (My Wife is the Student Council President) are canonically at least in their mid to late 30s (their daughter is 17) and they're a shota and a loli. Same with Kinue Hayase (Masamune-kun's Revenge), who is 42yrs old and a mother of 2.

They literally cannot grasp that a loli is just a short petite woman. The crazy motherfuckers attacked a 21yr old cosplayer who is short and petite who cosplay as Tatsumaki from One Punch Man, calling her 'pedobait'. They don't grasp a shota would be called a 'manlet' in real life. I have, no shit, seen these brain dead twits say that if a woman is under the height of 5'6, then she's 'minor coded' and therefore 'pedobait'. That's saying that the vast overwhelming majority of women worldwide are thus only attractive to pedophiles.

Quote from: Insane Nerd Ramblings on May 20, 2024, 06:19:17 PMWell, the latest bit of insanity is the Antis on Twitter are freaking the fuck out because Chilichuck is a shota. This is the same kind of asinine hand-wringing and teeth gnashing that happened with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and all the halfwits crying their eyes out because Studio Trigger said Rebecca is a loli. I'm convinced that the Tumblr Millennials, GenZ and now GenAlpha are full of schizophrenic retards who cannot handle even the barest hint of fanservice. Which is also fucking hilarious because all 3 groups are the most likely to wear their sexual orientation on their sleeves for everyone to see. I miss when the normie trash didn't know what anime was and Otaku like me could keep our weird, racy cartoons amongst ourselves and gatekeep the undesirables.

Oh and they found out Izutsumi is 17yrs old and thus 'pedobait' and 'How dare the animators show her getting naked when Laios and Chilichuck are watching!'
Well, you've already done some soft gatekeeping: I had to look up several of those anime-related terms to even understand what you were saying.

Couple of art sites have in the last few months flipped out and declared -anything- that looks underage is verboten! That includes hobbits, halflings, probably anything shorter than 6ft because there is no limit to how insane the woke can get.

We call them Antis (as in Anti-shippers) and they are, 100%, fucking insane. Like drooling on themselves, shit-flinging retarded, straight up Flavor-Aid drinking cultists. And there are a LOT of fucking groomers/pedophiles hiding in their ranks because a lot of Antis are minors. We have a running thread of these assholes who've attack us over the years and then been outed as pedophiles. It's why you'll see threads on Twitter with these imbeciles and one or more of us will chime in with 'Start the Clock' or variants thereof. I wish to fucking God it wasn't this way because I remember when anime fandom was fun and we loved our racy weird Japanese toons. Now the merest hint of anime tiddy will sent these mouth breathing shitstains into paroxysms of apoplexy.

Worse is they have infiltrated anime and manga and are "fixing" them by adding woke dialogue.

I was reading one manga and early on one character says "i identify as male" and it struck me as out of place. Several issues later and someone else is doing the translating and the character is female and apparently always was.

Apparently they are also now trying to "recolour" characters.

The dark elves in Skeleton Knight were changed from lavender skilled to pretty much standard elf fair complexion because of woke pressure.

Expect things to get worse.

Proofs? That doesn't even make sense from their perspective.

Well, the woke localizers are now being pushed out in favor of AI translation. We warned them too, but they doubled and tripled down on their horseshit. The whole thing came to a head over Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and the shit dialogue inserted by Funimation woke asshole voice actors. And the fact it was over Lucoa (Quetzalcoatl) was even more ironic as she's objectively shown to be dense about how she walks around 'jiggling' and her utter lack of modesty.

By... you know. Reading the lite novel and then looking at the character in the anime.

QuoteHer lilac colored skin was crystal smooth; her long hair white as snow.

Though to be fair. The book cover art shows her fair skinned as well. So WTF? Maybe it was just the anime basing her skin off the book covers?

Theres been rumors though of Disney planning on applying pressure on anime to force it more woke. Would not surprise me at all if its true.

Quote from: nielspeterdejong on February 26, 2024, 05:29:38 AMWhat do you guys think of Dungeon Meshi? I honestly quite like the designs for the gnomes, as well as how well thought out the author made her world. It's rather refreshing.

I like it, Dungeon Meshi has been an enjoyable watch. I like the idea that certain critters in a dungeon are edible and I especially love their take of mimics being hermit crab kind of crustaceans.

There are a ton of isekai out there (mostly on Crunchyroll I note) and the truly original fantasy animie are well worth it. The good thing about Crunchyroll, is that they have got Record of Lodoss War, Spice and Wolf, and Frieren on the service.
"Meh."
