Quite weird how Reddit was basically 4chan back in the day now it’s the most ‘be politically correct and if u have a slightly different opinion we will downvote you to hell’ social media
MIA is pedobait, dyed in the wool pedobait, from character designs, to the lore, to even the behavior of the primary antagonists. The main characters are children who constantly get naked, the series relishes in torturing and stripping children, the creator is basically an open pedo. This isn't a case of "I really like this but it has that scene, the entire show is about "that scenes". Separating the art from the artist only works if the art isn't infested with the artists's perversions.
I think there is a very good story and world independent of the pedobait shit. I think some of the appeal of the world is how cruel it is, even to kids, which we naturally hold sacred. But that doesn't mean it needs to go as far as it does. But perhaps the discomfort is part of it....
Still, it's too much, and it makes it hard to ever recommend it because on top of being cruel, it has an unhealthy obsession with the robot boy's penis and sexual attraction the rabbit, for a set of examples.
I don't think it is designed as a pedo bait or some kind of dog whistle or whatever else you want to call it. I do however think the author is mentally unwell and it heavily bleeds into his works. But I think there's enough there independent of the pedo bait shit to not claim the whole series is pedo bait.
For the exact opposite, look up something like Gushing Over Magical girls (don't...). It's basically just pedo lesbian port. The former has an actual story and other boons besides just the weird shit. This show's whole shtick is children having their sexual awakening into the world of BDSM. No, I'm not exagerating.
But yes, I was losely aware that the creator is basically a confirmed pedo in everything but the legal system. I don't bother looking into it because frankly I don't care. I try to stay out of the anime fan drama bullshit. But I also have seen enough fucked up shit in my lifetime to just bear through the weird moments and appreciate the rest.
If you want a more relatable example, think of a show you watch that has woke BS in it. Sometimes you just accept the woke BS and grit your teeth through the woke moments. It might not even be a good show, but it's something you've taken to watching, and you know the woke shit is coming and it's gonna be annoying/uncomfortable, but it passes.
Unfortunately I didn't screenshot it but today r/zerocovidcommunity got very excited because someone questioned their groupthink. We do have this though, someone on reddit had their faith in humanity restored
and we had surgery under light sedation instead of general in order to keep that mask on!

"I am prone to blood clots but I'm healthy."
That's a pretty serious condition to call yourself healthy on.
I assume you're on eliquis, meaning if you trip and scrape your knee or scratch your elbo on something you bump into you will bleed like a stuffed pig until you need a transfusion.
Not exactly the picture perfect of health
And that last guy? Do you know what an OR is? Do you know how many times they cycle the air in a minute? You being concerned about wearing your mask in an OR to avoid catching COVID is like flapping your arms in your seat when the airplane is taking off.
And no, not everyone is high risk, otherwise it wouldn't be "high risk" it would just be normal risk.
Also, for those who don't know... I had to google their weird ass abbreviations they expect everyone to know, ME is myalgic encephalomyelitis.... This seems to be another term for chronic fatigue syndrome. But what is CC? These people act like they are all special snowflakes with their glass bones and paper skin but their "extensive medical knowledge" falls apart when faced with anyone with actual training. The fact is these people take stuff that most people just power through because they have a life to live and sitting on their ass bitching isn't an option, and turn it into not only a crippling personality trait but also a badge of honor. I won't pretend I physically know what CFS is like, but I do know for all the people I've encountered in my admittedly minimal medical career, I've seen people in substantially worse shape than these panty wipes that keep going and continue to remain contributory members of society, in spite of being actually severely ill. I've seen people in hospice for over 3 years who were tougher than these people.
I'm not saying everyone needs to "rub some dirt in it" and sometimes you're entitled to a bit of a cry, but you've cried enough for 3 of us at least. Go get a fucking job and do something with your life. If that's too much, you can also contribute by offing yourself, thus strengthening the species. But when you spend all day whining, you can't be surprised when people don't give a shit after a while.
Reddit was always like this. Except for r/trans you’d have r/trees, instead of trans acceptance, you’d have pot legality. You’d be hard pressed to not have some people clamming on and on about how weed is actually good for you, put blunts everywhere, have their entire personality be about smoking weed. It’s the same shit, different day. - Has it gotten worse over the years, yes.
The problem is people who think they can do this without any knowledge of electronics or think they can use it to code without any review (which requires coding knowledge).
Equally frustrating are these AI Bad people. But that's extremists for you. I do occasionally like to point out that the AI bad because water used argument is poor to the people who bring it up. In fact it's a barometer for knowing if they've gone deeper than surface level critique.
ADHD, bisexuality, and that thing where she's a "non-binary she/them" and, wouldn't you know it, she's just married to a man and apparently heterosexual to anyone who isn't invested in her every thought.
To be fair I know one or two men who go for this crap. Mostly for the similar attention reason. I even know of one guy (pushing 40) who was sad when he got a negative diagnosis for ADHD.
People will walk away from that post thinking that OP is correct and regurgitate this insane take.
I actually saw this pop up the other day regarding sport:
Top 20 women's tennis player loses to her unranked brother who hasn't played in 6 months. Lol.
And then there's this famous example, although the Google AI appears to be in cope mode over this:
It is straight up delusional to think women hold a candle to men in a broad range of physical sports. Women excel at more flexibility-related sports and exercises. There's a reason these stereotypes existed for the longest time. Now we have to try and include women in male-dominated sports and act like it's not a significantly less skilled, talented or entertaining affair than when men compete. It's simply not true and women should not be getting close to the pay that men do in these sports when they're marginally less skilled.
God bless this man.
I mean, we're in crazy times where people in power are saying crazy shit online, and usually it's been people saying shit that's been useless to anyone and just adds more whining to the internet.
So It's refreshing when someone in power tells a random armchair scientist to get fucked because he doesn't know what he's talking about, but does so with the tact and grace that's afforded someone in such a high position. Yet still he does it in a way that I guarantee made that redditor's head spin with more information than they could clearly ever understand. Yet still, he opened with a simple concept. "Waiting longer doesn't increase safety."
Some redditor would go "erm actually, if we waited so long we never did it, that's safer." Yeah well no one asked you and you aren't the head of Nasa or anywhere near it. So if you want to have influence on decisions, how about you do some shit that puts you into that position. Then tell me how easy those decisions are for you.
To be fair, there are naturally women who excel and can stand above males. But what really made me realize the chasm was when I was on a college rowing team. The men and women both shared the same boathouse and one day I bothered to look at some of their per 500m split times on land. One lady was rowing a 2:40/500 at 20 strokes per minute for a steady state session.
If I rowed that, I'd be told to get the fuck up and go home. We were told anything less than 2:20/500 isn't steady state, it's just faffing about.
For reference, I was middle of the road on our team, with solid power output and never got far with technique. I ended up being the power guy in the lower boats because I had the power but not the technique to be competitive in higher boats. My best 5km row (on land) at the end of the season was 17:30. This is a respectable time for a male. For a 20 year old female, the world record is 17:20. The absolute fastest 5km erg time is 16:49. I'd actually be Olympic caliber if I were a woman.

It does amaze me that the left will pride themselves on empathy and kindness but immediately make fun of someone who's very clearly either not right in the head or high on coke.
I personally think this guy isn't a pedo. His tastes in anime definitely aren't mine, though. I'm not up for youth gore anime no matter how cool a world it is.
Perhaps the boy is attracted to women and not amorphous they/them blobs. Although I’m guessing NB in this case is “want the feefees of being LGBT without the commitment”. Maybe he’s the alphabet case.
No you don’t, it’s some made up current year “validate my feelings because I am a faggot” bullshit.
