I give Digi credit for championing some underappreciated anime though

2018-09-19 21:10:32 UTC  

he made a really good video about why Kemono Friends is actually good and not just a meme

2018-09-19 21:11:00 UTC  

Bechdel test is a joke in anime. tons of it doesn't even pass reverse bechdel test.

2018-09-19 21:11:13 UTC  

GL doesn't pass, is good
KLK does pass, is inferior

2018-09-19 21:11:13 UTC  

When I was a kid, I liked Cardcaptors the best

2018-09-19 21:11:21 UTC  

really the Bechdel test just goes to show that Western media is shitty at creating interesting female characters

2018-09-19 21:11:46 UTC  

My favorite anime is Kaiba. One of the most interesting cyberpunk worlds

2018-09-19 21:11:56 UTC  

Kaiba is good

2018-09-19 21:12:18 UTC  

now that I think of it I'm gonna go with <:AriaCompany:431523701238923274> as my top anime

2018-09-19 21:12:23 UTC  

it's just 💯

2018-09-19 21:12:26 UTC  

Western media aims for equality: every character is now a shittily written character

2018-09-19 21:12:58 UTC  

The west is not even that good at making gay girls in cartoons.

2018-09-19 21:13:04 UTC  

every female character is just a tough hyper-competent girl power mascot

2018-09-19 21:13:14 UTC  

I just like pointing out the Bechdel test in stuff like Kill la Kill because it's a good way of exposing feminists as puritans. You show them KLK and they'll reflexively reject it as sexist trash, but it's all strong well-written female characters.

2018-09-19 21:13:39 UTC  

lots of feminists do like that about anime though

2018-09-19 21:13:58 UTC  

Just watch youjo senki

2018-09-19 21:14:00 UTC  

if you ever feel brave go check out the articles on www.animefeminist.com

2018-09-19 21:14:00 UTC  

😏

2018-09-19 21:14:16 UTC  

Because with lesbians they have to toe the line to avoid claims if fetishising

2018-09-19 21:14:18 UTC  

Sorry heart, I am not a masochist

2018-09-19 21:14:24 UTC  

hey guys I found a way to stop declining population

2018-09-19 21:14:28 UTC  

someone wrote an article about how Made in Abyss wasn't progressive enough because Riko is good at cooking and is female

2018-09-19 21:14:37 UTC  

Youjo Senki is technically a dude though.

2018-09-19 21:14:55 UTC  

its called getting rid of millenials internet

2018-09-19 21:15:12 UTC  

Youjo senki is a trans character mc

2018-09-19 21:15:14 UTC  

meanwhile that series has two invincible she-warriors, a boy who is incompetent and needs a girl to tell him everything that he does, an a-gender character and an actual transgender child character

2018-09-19 21:15:15 UTC  

<:GWfroggyPepoSmug:398570232647647242>

2018-09-19 21:15:18 UTC  

and yet it's not progressive enough

2018-09-19 21:15:21 UTC  

Like I said before: Everyone needs to watch the first episode of Vandread

2018-09-19 21:15:44 UTC  

@Austin i like your idea, plz can you elaborate more

2018-09-19 21:15:57 UTC  

less toxic twitter, more mail-order wives

2018-09-19 21:16:07 UTC  

Kill la Kill is Gurren Lagann with Lavos.

2018-09-19 21:16:17 UTC  

I need to check kaiba out

2018-09-19 21:16:26 UTC  

Lavos made clothes instead of magic this time.

2018-09-19 21:16:38 UTC  

heh

2018-09-19 21:16:47 UTC  

Lavos was in Chrono Trigger

2018-09-19 21:16:54 UTC  

that fucking left pod

2018-09-19 21:17:03 UTC  

Fucking pods

2018-09-19 21:17:10 UTC  

I would say another tactic is indoctrinating the schoolchildren into thinking "if you dont have two children in your life you are a parasite on society" @Deleted User

2018-09-19 21:17:25 UTC  

id say pump that number to 4
