On a separate note:

Noah Caldwell Gervais might just be my favorite person on Youtube.

I like how his zero-frills presentation is used to frame his long, relaxing, almost college lecture-style lookbacks at older game franchises. There's something about how he not only thoroughly researches these old titles but how he mixes it with his own personal views. For instance, he recently reviewed the original Warcraft and Warcraft 2 games, since they just came out on GoG, and as much as he was happy to return to two cornerstones of the real-time strategy genre and the first brick of what would be the monolith of Blizzard, he added that the original Warcraft can be tedious and that Warcraft 2 (especially its expansion) can be insanely challenging.

There's also an easy, laid back patience to his videos. It may come off to some as unprofessional, but I find it refreshing when he takes a breath, fumbles and retakes a line or word, or awkwardly make a cut somewhere. Compared to the Youtube-scape of today, his videos are not well produced. But I think that's because his emphasis is on the writing of his retrospectives, which adds a dare I say, folksy (?) charm. I'm sure there's a lot of you out there that have recommendations for some of his retrospectives. But I'd like to personally recommend his road trip travelogues. They're some of the most chilled out videos I've ever seen.

I seriously wish he would cut out every time he has a plegmy cough into the microphone just because it's drat near the top of the list of my most hated sounds. However, I agree with the rest of this. His style manages to feel conversational somehow in spite of every video being a one-hour unbroken monologue.

What a punk. Harry Potter knew the magic of pottery and that wizard guy spat in the face of that art. I am so tired of these wizards summoning dragons and setting fire. That's my biggest worry if magic was real is that the arts would suffer immensely. You think anyone is caring about Color field when people can shoot lasers? No. That's gone. It's all gone.

You can't recommend klk to anyone outside the anime community because the "the 17-year-old in the stripper outfit is meant to be a subversion" argument doesn't hold in literally any other social circle

yep. but the reason they didn't do this was to actively squeeze money from pedophiles who are afraid of adult women.

god, if only. huge swathes of anime are produced exclusively for weird pedos because they've created a locked-in market dependant on their 10,000 yen blu rays with two episodes of Panty Shot High School on each for sexual gratification.

It’s not entirely wrong, but the reason why anime tends to be set in high school is because for a lot of Japanese salarymen that’s the last time their lives weren’t miserable so it’s a mix of nostalgia and pedophilia

DoctorWhat

don't get me wrong - a huge amount of american media culture also carries water for pedophiles. From Olsen Twin countdown clocks to whoever is doing Millie Bobby Brown's wardrobe for red carpet events. It's a global horror and it's always on purpose. You don't need secret pizza basement rape dungeons to exploit and endanger kids and teens, you can do it on an industrial scale without breaking a single law.

Dan Schnieder, yeah. He used Nick Tweencoms to groom teen girls and collect foot fetish material from fans. The former is an obvious crime that he just got away with; the latter is exactly the kind of totally-legal exploitation that forms the real pedophile culture around the world.

Kill la Kill is an ok to good anime show with some decent themes executed well, wrapped in some frankly creepy and unecessary sexual content that actively detracts from a lot of the show's positive messaging.

However Patrick Seitz is in it so its actually perfect
