Lol it was absolutely not used in that way. I doubt 90% of comic book fans even knew what anime was in the early 90s

The early 90s was when I was an anime fan. poo poo cartoon Network was showing sailor Moon at the time.

Edit:. Columbia House had an anime section in their catalogue and an anime club that sent you one tape a month, I know because I was a member in like '92

I could see that being a book about education vs indoctrination, but not from that creative team using those characters. Switch it to a white kid getting ready to shoot up some place and becoming enthralled by the culture and experiences he was denied and yeah it's still insensitive as gently caress.

Speaking of pejoratives and slurs, if I see somebody (and they're a CG-er, so already a Clue) complain somebody else is going 'REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!' or similar that's also them trying to claim the person is autistic, right?

If you see other chud-like behavior, yeah. I used that for a while because I thought it referencing Invasion of the Body Snatchers until someone told me otherwise. It might have been here? If you're not getting any other red flags and it's someone you know, try cluing them in.

A dude like that I just can't help but feel sorry for. It's pretty clear he probably loves comics, almost certainly is some shut-in weirdo, found (unfortunately) a group of similar people in CG, and in turn bought into their garbage wholesale. I almost feel a little bad seeing him called out like that, it's not like he's some industry artist who still can't draw worth a poo poo, he's just some pathetic loser.

Almost.

Yeah, I don't like making fun of people like that unless they're doing straight up hateful poo poo.

But now I see Skwirl's post and gently caress this guy.

Remember Transformer 3 and how the MC kept Texas' Romeo-And-Juliet law in his wallet? (I think, at least. Never saw the movie but a comedian made fun of the movie for it).

Check out Lindsay Ellis' The Whole Plate series, which looks at Transformers through a variety of film criticism lenses. She hits on that. As someone who hates the transformers movies, I really enjoyed these videos.

If the worst thing you can say about her videos is that they are somewhat elementary and introductory in order to reach people unfamiliar at all with feminism, maybe it isn't worth saying in the ComicsGate/Industry Terribleness Thread.

Archyduchess posted:

Being a hypocrite is bad, but what useful distinction does highlighting (negatively) a woman's weight have to do with anything else? Is there anyone conceivably on the fence about this guy who would be like, "well, I thought it was fine for him to mock women for their appearance before, but now that I know that his wife isn't hot to me the scales have fallen from my eyes"?

As someone who spent a long time recovering from an eating disorder, that kind of rhetorical move is never as harmless as it can feel. It still aligns fatness with shame, and imposes a moral rubric onto the body in a reactionary way.

I get that it's an extremely prevalent thing still-- unfortunately, overweight people are still fair game for ridicule in a lot of media, and the popular imagination still hews to outdated conflations of fatness and class decadence-- but I think an integral part of thinking and speaking in progressive and leftist spaces is interrogating our shared language and cutting out the parts that are no longer any good.

Which is why I said, "if it ends there".

Okay, that's better. Are his videos generally leftist, because that was the first one I saw and it kept me from watching any others.
