I'm thinking it'll end in about 7 or 8 chapters. No idea how they'll fit all of this into one season, unless they break off at the Paths Dimension and make a movie for the last part.

I could see them doing what they did with season 3 and splitting season 4 into two cours.

I just want to say that I forgot I opened this thread and I clicked to the tab after opening what I thought was the One Piece thread and saw this post and nearly had a heart attack

One Piece Manga SpoilersKaido and Big Mom kill the strawhats and their alliance, team up with Black Beard, and take over the world. The End. No Moral.

I don't think it's right to say AoT inspired school shooters in any way :thunk:

The story ends with "genocide is good, and if you don't do it the other bastards will do it to you first"

That's one way you could read it, another way is "violence is a never ending cycle that only begets more violence" and "eren's actions ultimately didn't fix anything" ergo violence is bad.

Big part of why my reading is AoT being pro-genocide

As dumb as that stuff was, on the level of Naruto calling Obito "the coolest guy", I think it's somewhat understandable why someone who once was a close friend of Eren might be willing to look at their actions more charitably and not really see the larger picture of their actions. But yeah there were a bunch of issues with the ending besides that.

Also for the record, I'm not a fan of AoT in general, and I've got no issues with people having qualms with it, but when people start spreading around unverifiable things like "Isayama is a fascist" or harmful stereotypes like "all fans of AoT are fascists and/or school shooters", I think those kinds of generalizations are actively harmful, both for individuals who might be on the receiving end of those accusations and for discourse about the subject matter in general.

This is like calling Verhoeven a fascist because of 4chan producing Starship Troopers memes without a hint of irony.

Pretty much. People are always going to cherry pick aspects of a work regardless of authorial intent, to push propagandist narratives and readings of said work and use it as a vehicle to deliver and disseminate those values abroad to their audience.

Like the tweet Gosar made could have been Republicans being the heroes of dragon ball z, goku and the like, killing AOC who is Cell, a parasitic monster bent on wiping out humanity. That doesn't make DBZ fascist because fascist politicians are using it as propaganda.

I don't even disagree with people who read into AoT as having fascist themes as being in the wrong, but there's room for discussion and debate on it, and a lot of people don't want to actually analyze it to have that debate, they just want to push a narrative and smear all people who enjoy the work as fascists or fascist sympathizers, which I think is harmful misinformation and slander.

No, the main point of that video was to liken immigrants to the titans as an invading force, the Democrats in it aren't just vaguely enemies, they are enablers of immigration.

I mean it's the same point, that's not a message of the original media, it's just what some guy with video editing software decided to make, and I don't think anyone is arguing that Gosar isn't a fascist bigoted bootlicker.

Indeed. There's a good chance 2024 also breaks a generation's brains, but we will just have to wait and see.
