So you're saying that everyone that dislikes anime "just doesn't get it" ? That's a pretty silly take.

I've watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can't do it anymore

Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

- Incredibly frustrating dialogue

I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can't connect with the characters. It doesn't need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

- Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you're just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it's still too much. I can't sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue

Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It's written in the article that I assume you haven't read

The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election

This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups

What's to see?

I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

Yes it's dystopian as fuck how much money he's able to make. But that's not a result of him being evil or something. That's a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

He's just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he's good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

I don't like Mr. Beast. But don't think he's doing anything unethical

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.

If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias

Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.

It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn't like.

You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios

Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.

Unfortunately your brain didn't evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.

All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don't feel like you're any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.

And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I'm also available to chat if you'd like. Cheers 🙂

That's a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories

If they're useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone

If I have nothing to gain from it and it's just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself

It's important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.

An icon represents what the people think it represents.

An icon can also have different meanings to different people. It's ok if you don't like it. But I don't think it's fair to say that the majority of people that use or share Pepe are from one specific ideological group

CBAT - they will get horny, jerk off in sync to the rhythm then leave

Alien Hip Hop - they will be either extremely confused or will get inspired to leave and form a prog rock band immediately

The Woven Web - it's such an incredibly sick song that they will have to mute their speakers and bop to it

I would miss Google maps too.

I'd love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don't know what I would use to navigate around

Great to know that you can recognize your imperfections. I'm sure you have a good character. And i'm glad you're feeling better. Cheers!

I understand that you're angry. Sure the initial comment was slightly snarky, and yes, a lot of frustration is caused by a large lack of willingness to address men's issues.

But I'd just like you to find out what you want to achieve with your commentary.

If your objective was to raise an argument and change someone's mind, then starting a conversation with

Stop pretending you know jack shit

And

STFU about your cope bullshit Will never convince anyone

If you just wanted to express your anger, then I think it's unjustified to direct it so intensely to the initial comment. The intensity does not match the casual tone of the comment and it's uncalled for.

Maybe you just wanted to spend some idle time by commenting on posts. Sure that's fair, but considering the stress you put into this I'd say that's probably a net loss for your mood

That's not what's happening here

Sorry if I misunderstood that. But your tone did not help with my understanding of your point

The problem is that they brought up men's rights issues in the most passive aggressive snarky way

Sure I agree that the initial comment deserves some correction, but You will never get your point across by insulting someone. often to convince someone you should talk to them like they're your friend. I know the insults might come more naturally than friendship, but respect is what effectively causes change.

I'm just suggesting you use your energy and patience more efficiently

I enjoyed this conversation, and hope you did too. Cheers
