When I younger I thought "funny" acronyms like Gnu is Not Unix or ALOHA were because of computer nerd culture, but now I learned that it's just cracker culture
I will kind of go to bat for the recursive acronym. I like Gnu is Not Unix. I think there were a couple others, I feel like there was a funny non-official emacs one that I liked, but I don't remember it, so who knows, really
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor
The issue with that one is that it's just too boring. Hypertext Preprocessor? Boo, who cares, come up with a fun one or get out of here. You know?
It used to be "Personal Home Page" before Mr. mysql_real_escape_string( $str ) himself decided to change it to a recursive backronym
Yeah, that's definitely better than the recursive backronym. It's still not good though! Apparently the PHP people just aren't great at naming their language, many such cases!
The language, the standard library functions, the fucking core platform version numbering system, and so on and so forth 
It's like I always tell the junior devs -- there are only two hard things about programming: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.
GNU is one of the tamer ones I'll admit, but my point still stands
Oh yeah, you're absolutely right, except for the occasional recursive acronym, on which I will fight you
For the last time, Wine is Not an Emulator 
(I also like that one, I think it's downright helpful for a wine noobie to be reminded that wine doesn't emulate)
I might have cringe taste in names
I like this one because I thought it was Win(dows) E(mulator) at first
I hate their "clever" shit so much
Hope they arrest themselves for having too much fun being the fun police.
One of the few things I appreciate about the Canadian legislative system is that they don’t name bills. There’s a prescribed numbering system and that’s it. People can characterize the bill however they want, but it’s going to be called Bill C-24 and not The Small Business and Senior Citizen Freedom and Prosperity Liberty Act.
Gamers are the fucking reason the GOP isn’t an irrelevant laughingstock and this is how they repay them?
Progressivism never took root in chanlords because gamers didn’t see themselves as oppressed nerds but as temporarily embarrassed jocks.
Night of the Long Knives etc.
Ah, the original fell for it again award
The Jack Thompson impulse always re-emerges, bannon trying to make a

post-US crash gaming should've stayed niche. Madden, FIFA, and CoD have 
you know the thing.
That's why it's fun to go back and look at pdfs of old gaming magazines from the 80s and early to mid 90s, it really was quite a niche subculture. You'd have these small 5-10 developer teams making just the oddest, but fantastic games that you only ever see in indie games rarely nowadays (itch.io is a fun place to go for those kinds of weird, off the wall games these days). Once the Playstation/N64 era took off gaming just getting progressively bigger and aiming for the lowest-common denominator of players. I still game but rarely ever big AAA games, mostly its retro games/hacks on emulators and indie games.
All the biggest dipshits (in this case weebs) getting what they wanted (a right wing government) is so fucking funny to see.
I wonder how the maga small business shitheads are doing with the tariffs
This is what happens when you assemble a political coalition based on a collection of random people's grievances with the "the other"
Normies stop ruining everything challenge (impossible).
Much of pornography is violent and degrading, glamorizing assault, physical abuse, and non-consensual acts.
Why are conservatives/evangelicals so obsessed with how violent and abusive porn is? Sort of a self-tell
I saw porn as a kid, but I wasn't really seeing or seeking out anything harmful. It was mostly about seeing attractive people naked and sometimes having "vanilla" sex.
I've always thought I had a "porn problem" but now I realize my normal sexual desires were demonized my entire childhood, and I really don't even care if kids see porn. Its definitely not worth any of this surveillance shit.
Why are conservatives/evangelicals so obsessed with how violent and abusive porn is? Sort of a self-tell
I oppose the recent wave of policy censoring these things because both the immediate applications and ultimate goals are obviously antisocial, but speaking to the broader issue that is being referenced here, who do you believe is allowed to discuss the issue of the extreme normalization and eroticization of SV in porn (and also in "normal" anime like Fire Force)? I can't think of who could talk about this and not be regarded with default suspicion here.
I think we can definitely talk about that stuff. And I think we should especially listen to sex workers on the issue.
Growing up in evangelicalism, I was taught that any porn consumption will eventually lead to needing porn that depicts SV, because they labor on the theory that porn is a drug, and you need "stronger porn" to get the same buzz.
In reality, I think the people who pushed this line of reasoning were actually the violent misogynistic freaks, and 13 year old me just wanted to see boobs

TW: sexual assault
I'm against noncon/dubcon, whatever label they use to mean rape. This porn is usually used to glorify rape, showing graphic depictions. I'm ok with touching on the themes to condemn it, but nothing I've seen has ever needed it to be shown graphically to make a point and instead turns into fetishization (Goblin Slayer, Outlander, Game of Thrones, etc.). Obviously loli/pedo porn fits under this as well (Made in Abyss). When you're aware (like a SA victim), you see rape culture around you and naturally think it is sick. I want glorified graphic depictions of rape banned, but apparently only puritanical, prude christofacists want it banned so they can oppress everyone with morals. Fuck that, there is a reason games like Rapelay, Rape Day, and No Mercy get a bunch of attention and are then banned. I am ok with consensual porn (produced ethically, so not abusing the IRL actors/actresses). I support LGBT+. Too many people do not understand consent. Bringing up CNC is moot if you do not recognize the first word of that acronym. Even reading Lemmy is exhausting when you read comments saying rape should never be prosecuted without evidence excluding testimony (aka most people should get away with rape), and then read people defending rape games. I looked at collective shout's content and g*mers are sending them rape threats. Wtf.

Fireforce is not even that bad…please folks, as someone that grew up with 90s anime. Burn up W, Ninja Scroll, and Agent Aika were so much more fan servicy
You again, there's always someone. Funny how this keeps happening. Are you the one who defended Goblin Slayer as being soooo progressive before? As much as I hate this sort of apologia, I'm not keeping a list.
I don't give a shit about older anime being even worse, Fire Force is an easy example because it's way worse than the current average. Seemingly every fight involving a woman involves their clothes being burned off, with the camera and animation frame allotment responding "appropriately," there's a character who is basically only there to be involuntarily groped and stripped over and over (this being described as "lucky" for the gropers), and then at the end of the manga the author goes on a completely unhinged, postmodern 4th-wall-shattering rant where he says that his being a creep is actually the most life-affirming thing you can do.
Why are you always accusing me of defending goblin slayer. What the fuck lmao

I know it's beside the point, but what kind of anime is getting censored? Are we talking like Frieren or Redo of Healer?
I have no idea who this "Chibi Reviews" is but they do not pass the vibe check. Im guessing they are the only one whos talking about this?
Is it possible for an anime content creator to pass the vibe check?
I know FD signifier talks about anime here and there but he's not an anime creator.

IME absolutely not. Even self-styled "progressives" are still giddy to get sakuga of high school girls and I don't mean the kind with explosions or fight choreography (fucking Mother's Basement is so hopelessly brainrotted, it's almost sad).

Lmfao. I challenge anyone to try and watch one of his videos and tell me they honestly understood most of what was said.
I've more or less given up on finding good content creators that cover games or anime. Which is unfortunate because that means the content I listen to while doing chores or something is extremely heavy, leftist stuff. And it's important to stay aware but goddam do constant reminders of hellworld wear you down.

I suppose he has that kind of brainrot too (though maybe I share it with him, since I get everything that's not a vintage anime reference), but I meant the kind of brainrot where what he is saying is very clear and what's more bewildering is why he saw fit to say it. The "Hottest Trash" videos are prime examples, where every fifth entry or so he starts talking about how hot children are.
I still listen to almost every video he puts out, but mostly because he's devolved into being a gourmand rather than an amateur analyst most of the time, and curation is helpful to me since I can't be bothered to keep up with everything myself.

Oh my lord. I think that's a step above brainrot

True. I used to follow a blog for this but since they died it's been hard to find a good source for a good summary of what's good.
So you are telling me there’s a niche for us to fill. Be the change you want to see in the world
There's a part of me that wishes I could, but it's not just a matter of making the effort to produce adequate videos, but also withstanding an eternal tide of weeb reaction, because much of what you'll get as a reward for offering due criticism. Then, even if you suffer for five years or longer through that shit and cultivate a sizable audience, there will be an even bigger torrent of reaction that might manifest into little campaigns against you. I've seen tiny artists and big critics alike get buried in that shit and it gives me anxiety second-hand.
hhhazel is one of the better ones
I appreciate the recommendation and will investigate.
STEVEM and Kaiserbeam both pass the vibe check. Although they're smaller retro-anime channels and not that big or chasing algorithm views.
Pey Talks Anime is pretty good
He had drama earlier because of a loli obsession and being anti-sjw so your vibes were correct
oh wow, i haven't seen chibi in years
still got the babyface even with the mustache lol
