We need to stop the movie critic if we know they’re going to start shooting!

Anime has a lot of good stuff. You definitely have to have a nose for Japanese humor, but if you do it’s really great.

There’s a couple of light novels I’ve been reading that I hope get anime adaptations because I think they’d be funny. I parry everything and I’m a lv 99 hidden boss are both nice and fun stories whose humor revolves around the difference between the main characters inner monologue and the way that everyone else sees them. I don’t know for sure, but I think that that would be really funny on TV.

Having literally just black and beige white people isn’t really diversity, and having white characters in stories and universes concieved of by white people seems to me like missing the point.

When I was growing up, there were lots of original stories with black people in them. There were cartoons, movies, variety shows, dramas, comedies, all about black neighborhoods and black families. There were superstar black actors who played black characters with regularity.

Compare today where instead of taking chances on letting people tell their own stories, the only way you can “include” minorities is to dip a white character in different strengths of tea and coffee.

I don’t like it. I’m curious about the world, I want to hear music from all eras from around the world. I want to hear stories from all eras and all around the world. I want to understand how all different kinds of people think and see their values and understand how they push up against those values in the real world. Instead, we get a monoculture. Southern California and everything else is verboten.
