You seem to be saying no one attracted to women would ever denigrate them? Have you seen straight men before?

The point is never that we need more democrats. The point is always that we need fewer Republicans. Democrats refuse to make things better, but they typically block things from getting worse, which is a better starting point than anything the GOP would give us.
So please, organize, protest, do whatever activism you can do, but on voting day take the little bit of time and effort to block Republicans from undoing all that hard work, even if it means voting strategically for a pile of shit.
The left will always be fighting against the administration to some extent, and through voting we get to pick our enemy, and the dems are going to be an easier fight and on fewer fronts.
It’s not explicitly trans (like atkion said), but it is hosted on blahaj.zone, an explicitly trans instance.
OP is implying gender transition. Do you know where you are right now?
Yes. People say it outgrows its premise but I’m really not sure that’s possible, and I noped out after the first episode so I wouldn’t personally know. Explanation point I think does a good job of exploring both the problem and why people still defend it
For sure, I’d take this style of storytelling over the handholding we get in many other shows any day. I just typically look for a show to exemplify its own strengths early on, which includes its ability to pay off things it’s built up.
The best case for me is when a story weaves a smaller version of its larger arc within the first episode, giving us a taste of what the show is aiming for, be that twists and turns of intrigue, cathartic payoff of some tension it’s built up, or the solution to a mystery. Obviously it won’t hit as hard as later events will, but it proves that a show is capable of following through on its promises. (which helps spot shows like Lost, who keep promising and never deliver)
And it can be fun to watch characters and try to figure out what their motivations are, but it would be nice to get a bit of something for any of our characters, even if it’s incomplete or even false, because as it is I feel a bit adrift in the story without anything to hold onto.
But I’m still hopefully my issues with the show get resolved soon. I do want to trust Bones on this one, even though the premiere didn’t wow me.
Impeccable vibes on this one, but the story felt a bit jumbled and hard to follow. I’m all for show-don’t-tell, but I think it could have benefited from trimming down the number of unfamiliar elements to throw around, at least to start with. I couldn’t really get a read on any of the characters’ motivations or goals, either. It feels like the selling point is supposed to be “tokusatsu, but make it cyberpunk”, but I’ve got no personal attachment to either of those genres, so it didn’t do much for me.
But it’s always good to see original anime, so I’ll give Bones some time to cook before I give up completely. Judging just from the premiere, though, I give it a 3/5
Normally I hate long premieres, but I think this absolutely would have benefited from a double-length episode; the pacing was solid, but the ending just felt very abrupt.
So far the plot seems pretty generic, the twists are predictable, and our hero seems like a bit of an idiot (if you’re not paid well and not good at hunting and it’s not your dream or anything, why not just get a normal job where you probably won’t die??). On the other hand, the animation was really good and I loved the fight scenes.
Ultimately I give the premiere a 3/5. I’ll give it another episode or two to get to its hook and see if I want to continue from there.
Went in without any real expectations and ended up really enjoying it. I just hope they manage to get around to saving the sister while it still makes sense for her to not be fully digested…
i give the premiere a 4/5 and look forward to being hungry every week
The problem with calling these tools AI is not really an argument from definitions. The argument at its core is saying that the general public brings a lot of assumptions to something that’s being called “AI”, which aren’t true but benefit investors.
Like, all those stories of chatgpt citing fake studies and fake case law blew people’s minds. If you know what chatgpt is (a fancy predictive text algorithm) these are pretty unsurprising events, but a lot of people had heard “AI” and applied their own associations onto its perceived capabilities, which was exactly the point of calling it “AI” instead of “LLM”
So guys who say stuff like “I prefer natural looking girls, not ones with caked on makeup” or “I’d only date a virgin. I don’t want any roast beef” or “no fatties, I only like thin girls” are what? All secretly gay or ace?
ETA: my point is, people do comparisons all the time when talking about how one person is more attractive than another or than most other people (some more mean spirited than others). It often isn’t right or cool, but being mean doesn’t mean you’re not attracted to the person you’re contrasting.
