    You can change. You can.
    Characters being seen as archetypes is not new. Yes, Batman is a Byronic Hero. I don't see how is that different, really.

    The thing is, I often get the impression guys end up seeing actual girls through that kind of lens. Obviously enough people know how to distinguish fantasy from reality, but there are a bunch of creepers that do think like that.

    I admit this is the first time I wondered about how onomatopoeic
    spelling extensions would apply to words with multiple spellings.

    Admittedly, with Australian spelling that should have been "I love you Sabrrrrrrrrrr-

    No.

    that's problem outside of anime fandom. It's a problem with geeks in general, I'd say.

    Unless Batman. 

    Seriously, arguing for Batman being moe might be the best use of my Batmanology ever.

    ^That leaves some implications that I don't want to touch thank you very much.

    Oh come on, Batman/Robin jokes are a classic staple! =D

    In more serious news, I'm thinking about running that conference and I'm suddenly getting a case of frights. I keep thinking of how terrible I'd be at it. Then I keep thinking that I have to try for myself but this isn't just about me, it's about kids who need guidance but maybe it'd help both of us and AUGH!

    Yeah, I'm probably going to e-mail them with info.

    I guess I just dislike the idea of failing at something that affects other people.

    First, did you practice speaking or write up a draft of potential things to talk about? If you haven't, get going.

    If you have however, then remove the notion of "failure" from your mind. Failure does not exist.

    I am amazed that men think they deserve credit for not raping women.

    The name of the gallery is even worse, "Feminist cookies"

    First, I would think it's sarcasm mocking what they perceive to be the feminist movement's wrongs, but having been on the internet for so long, I know that Poe's Revolving Door rotates unexpectedly, so I don't know anymore.

    Second, that is a very sickly green color of frosting.

    No I guess they just feel that falls under the not a rapist one.

    I'm going to steal from Chris Rock and say it's amazing how many people think they deserve credit for shit they're supposed to do. 'I've never raped a woman!' or 'I don't hit my girlfriend.' You don't get credit for not doing bad things that you're expected not to do already.
  • captainbrasscaptainbrass

    ^ Actually, Malk, I think that's the point.


    I'm pretty sure these are linked to on a trope page I once edited ages ago (don't ask me which). The cookies are by feminists and send up men who expect women to treat them as heroes for minimal acts of "feminism".


    It's a depressing thought, since whilst I can guarantee that I've never raped anyone, I haven't really done much to resolve the child-care needs of working mothers, so I'm clearly never going to get laid by any passing feminists.

    Should I watch Baccano! or Gungrave next?

    Finish Doctor Who first. Specially now that the Christmas Special is coming in.

    Oh yeah


    I still have the whole second half of the last season to watch.

    But it's kind of difficult, since I'm stuck on a crappy old netbook right now, since my good computer is busted.  I can't really torrent and watch anything of decent quality.  So, I'm pretty much stuck with what I have on DVD/Netflix instant for a while.

    Thus, Gungrave or Baccano.

    I'd say that you should save Baccano for when the IJBM Anime Club takes off

    "ON A SLIGHTLY LESS CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC"

    Why are people so preemptive?

    Anyways, just got back from my philosophy final. A sample of my brain on philosophy:

    You have a student doing questions for assignments and tests on a certain topic. The textbook and notes tell the student how to give a certain response to the questions on said assignments and tests. Eventually, the student gets so good at this "studying" that said student manages to answer nearly all the questions given and get an A+. Does the student exhibit understanding?

    I wouldn't be surprised if several philosophy professors explained the Chinese Room this way.

    I'm not being preemptive or anything, I just wanted to ask people's opinion on something else, because this is basically the talk about whatever thread.

    Started reading No Logo. It's fairly interesting, in how it depicts the history of corporate advertising.

    Except that capital letters represent shouting on the Internet. It's not like you ever need to shout to switch the topic to anime on this board.
