Shoutout to the toxic yuri going on in House where a patient let her girlfriend give her part of her liver despite the fact that she was planning to leave her because "she got bored of her," and the girlfriend knew the patient was planning to leave her but gave her the liver anyway so that she'd be trapped in the relationship out of guilt
It's actually crazy how Kill la Kill shouts at the top of its lungs how it's ABOUT FASCISM right from the get-go and this is like the least discussed aspect of the series, because people are much more interested in arguing about all the nudity. Honnouji Academy is a microcosm of a fascist state. Those who pledge loyalty to the regime and spread its influence are given rewards and a better standard of living, and all the while a lower class is maintained so the upper classes have someone to look down on, distracting them from the system's oppression. The show is not subtle at all about its intermingling of school systems and the military, or how the students take pride in being part of a greater whole. The very first scene of the first episode literally opens on a history lesson about Hitler. It's soooo not subtle.
Exactly!
Apparently I really need to watch this
In most cases of this I'd agree but Kill la Kill is specifically ABOUT the sexualization and exploitation of minors so. no. In this case that doesn't apply
I fucking LOVE "Kill La Kill" and every take I have seen from OP has hit the nail on the head. The show does a very good job of making the viewer uncomfortable ON PURPOSE in order to deliver its message.
Do you think Kill la Kill could've benefited from being less horny and over the top, or would it just be more boring?
I mean, the excessive juvenile horniness of the show is definitely a valid reason to dislike it, and not to want to engage with it, but if you get rid of it you basically get rid of its reason to exist.
KLK is about sexuality, shame, body acceptance, coming of age, puberty, and how especially teenagers' bodies are structurally commodified and abused by systems of social control. You kinda can't cut the horny, fucked-up sexual weirdness out of that without fundamentally altering what the thing is.
There's a serious critical discussion to have about building a church with the devil's tools - whether or not the visual language of horny-ass ecchi anime can meaningfully be deployed to tell KLKs story without fatally undercutting it. KLK wants to comment on the commodification and hypersexualization of teenage girls' bodies, but it also very gleefully indulges in those tropes as spectacle, and positions appropriation of them as a form of empowerment, and while I think that on balance it ultimately does work as a story, and I find it compelling, that's also a valid place of criticism, and a valid reason to reject the story or find it distasteful or beyond the pale.
me and coworker: okay. we're getting rid of a ton of old records. they're sorted into price piles, you just need to write down the price and stick them to the record sleeve. if it doesn't have a sleeve, do not stick it to the vinyl bit, because the adhesive gunks up the grooves and affects how they play. okay?
new guy: yeah man!
us checking up on him 20 minutes later: 😨😂
him: i did not put stickers on them 🫡

Woah mama I love trans lesbians
trigun stargaze release announcement means it's time to watch trigun 98 again
sidenote. but. for the first time in maybe ever I've been actually paying attention to the sensations of my body instead of just adopting the mindset of "this is how a normal body feels, don't think about it too hard". and I am in pain. I am in fucking pain. I didn't know I was in pain. I didn't know I was in fucking pain for most of my life. I am hurting most of the time in some way or another, and I DIDN'T KNOW.
but I was still dealing with the effects of that pain. I was (am) frequently tired and fatigued, I get frequent brain fog, I find it difficult to motivate myself to do basic tasks. and I chalked it up to ADHD, or depression, or something nebulously wrong with me as a person. and I'm not saying those things aren't also factors, but another big factor has been that I am IN PAIN. MOST OF THE TIME.
and none of the posts I've seen online helped me realize this. the ones that said shit like "the normal amount of pain is no pain" (I thought I wasn't experiencing ANY pain) or "discomfort is often an indicator of pain" (I didn't even register it as discomfort). I just thought this is what a body felt like. I sometimes would think "I am particularly aware of a body part of mine right now. Huh. That's weird and mildly unpleasant." THATS PAIN I WAS IN FUCKING PAIN. so much of my brain power has gone towards blocking out/numbing the sensations in my own body. it has been fucking WILD being able to pay attention to it for the first time ever. What the Fuck.
