I want to be in this alternate universe version of GAF where racism and sexism (sexism especially) aren't tolerated by anyone, because it sounds glorious.
But really, the response to someone bringing up that something might be racist or sexist isn't to turtle up, get defensive, double down on what you were saying, or play the card that your opinions are being stifled. The better response in that situation is to sit back, try to see things from the other person's point of view, and evaluate the situation calmly from that perspective. Maybe you'll learn something new about yourself by doing that. Because it doesn't do any good to just kind of stick your fingers in your ears anytime someone complains about sexism.
And if a show you like is a little bit sexist, that's not the end of the world. You can recognize that a show has some sexist undertones in places, and still think that it's really enjoyable. The show can survive being called sexist. But maybe some people who face casual sexism every day of their lives will be a little bit better off if you at least acknowledge the existence of that sexism.
negative, what did we miss?
I certainly did miss it, but he didn't made any efford to explain it after people gave pointed out that the disliked the post.
I didn't in any meaningful way and I don't think that it can be expect to know everyone's posting style, even if it's mod.
And given the climate of treatment to people with such avatars its really unfortunate for a mod to be doing that, even in jest. It just encourages those other people.
Probably because people are sick of it. There's a point where you don't joke about things. Remember when a certain surprise was all the rage to put in screenshots but eventually it was frowned upon because it upset people?

yeah bad timing to be joking around where people are declaring that they rather be raped than murdered and other nonsense that happened in that thread.
I will stand strong!
There's always the chance of getting a post on SOS
Been there, done that.

was following the whole thread, and by the end, i really can't tell what is sarcasm and what ain't anymore
Understandable.
If i never see Thosedeafmute post history, i'd probably going to be pissed too. But yeah, it's basically like throwing a gas canteen to a fire. A terrbly placed bad joke.

I'm liking it so far. Think Kojima going to tweet this?
every country has some fucked up shit in it but Japan seems to get singled out a lot.
I just think its people being insecure.

All dat :chet.
One needs courage to not let permeate that kind of negativity on whatever you work in.
Is a TV series like Ronia The Robber’s Daughter their answer to that situation? A scaled down project in collaboration with another animation production studio and based on another known IP that they can use to leverage their acquired fame towards, and solely because of that attract viewers.
Wait, wait a moment... Masahiko Ōtsuka is the complete opposite of inexperienced! As not only he is the one that keeps the gears going at TRIGGER Inc., but also is one of the big people at the industry when it comes to supervising projects and aiding on direction. Important to note that at GAiNAX he (as other greats like Masayuki) had a support role on practically all of the studio's productions since the early-00s and, although not always properly credited, that kind of work by commission (and the old 'chaos strategy' Mr. Okada sometimes mentions) was a particular way of planning and devising that brings forth his own merits as well.
As a writer he is extremely balanced, because he tends to be razor-sharp focused on proper character development and thematic consistency for works that normally have been driven by very 'laid-back or chaotic concept' mishmashes, adding a depth that has been key in structuring and consequently important to any production he has been in. Those traits add up to his vision as a director too!
That kind of formal approach, and careful channelling of such ideas into a proper narrative, probably stems from his roots on live-action filmmaking, and I have asked myself before... how difficult it must have been to end up working alongside Isao Takahata just coming for the first time from another industry altogether! That speaks volumes of his talent to be diving head first into Japanese animation working under a person like Mr. Takahata who carefully selects one-by-one those apt by his very high-standards to work alongside him (a experience he has talked about before, in sadly untranslated interviews; http://web.archive.org/web/20040804...inax/otsuka/otsuka_1st/otsuka_1st_scene2.html & http://web.archive.org/web/20040804...inax/otsuka/otsuka_1st/otsuka_1st_scene3.html).

I wonder if I qualify for the anime avatar untermenschen. It's not from an anime (something worse actually!), but does it look like it is?

Heh. Suddenly they have a disclaimer. And it's about law? Funny.
Yukki finally pulls it together and... Oh, it's just an act. But then it's not. All the diary users have been revealed then, and the identity of that third person. Would have been my second guess about who it was.

I think Femme's issue is with Takahashi who has only directed a number of episodes. Takahashi is a little weird as he's never even worked on a Trigger production before, unless he did some unaccredited work or something.
That said, Femme is sort of right in that Trigger is 'grinding' their newbies, like LWA and KLK. However that's standard stuff. I do expect Ninja Slayer and whatever Imaishi's new work is, to look significantly better than KLK. Trigger is putting some effort into their animators and hopefully it pays off.
See, you had a good list going until the bolded sections.

I don't know how you can make a humanoid version of a cockroach that doesn't have dark skin. If people wish to see them as "racist depictions of black people", that's their issue. Also, the whole car scene has nothing to do with them having "rap cars", they stole the vehicles and learned how to use them. The scene was made to show their rapidly progressing evolution and adaption of technology. The "rape imagery" scene was one panel of multiple enemies grabbing a girl to kill her in the next panel. If people have issues with these things then whatever, but I view it as reaching to grab something that isn't there.
Say what you will, I'll see you again when the adaption comes!
can't find the rest via google but this for starters:
Just a natural way to draw humanoid cockroaches using guns. It can't be done any other way.
heheheh, welcome to duh hood.

I speak nothing but the truth.
Well, TDM did, not "mods." Mods are people, and they have their own take on things. Assuming that every mod agrees with every post of every other mod is just silly. We disagree with each other, discuss it, and generally come to a consensus. And sometimes, one of us posts a silly post. I wouldn't make it into something it's not -- like some well-defined mod policy to hate on anime avatars -- especially given that a number of mods have anime avatars.
What are these things? Pouches?
The problem is that when mods shitpost other posters feel enabled to do the same.
Yeah, I can understand that, but seeing Femmeworth say directors in plural made me think otherwise. Sorry if I misinterpreted your words, Femmeworth!
About Mr. Takahashi... maybe he is a recommendation from ex-GAiNAXers Mr. 'GORIPON' Nishigori and Mr. 'Crotch Director' Takamura... :-D
How would you draw humanoid cockroaches unskillfully shooting guns? I guess they have to keep their guns not tilted so it isn't racist.
Yes, I will keep talking about this as long as others do.

So have any of the gundam anime received an uncut dub or a dub that isn't hilariously 90's?
Insert photoshop of that cockroach girl holding an uzi here.
So that is what all the hubbub was all about.

I agree with that but if i have to explain what i was trying to say is more something among the lines of " if the problem is already there in some extent, i don't think it's going to be worse given that the majority will still have connexions to reality, instead of losing yourself within a fake one"
It won't help, but i don't believe it will make thing worse. As the minority that will lose themselves in those will still be a minority.

Thank to your post , i actually went to check how many rules there are out there and if i missed any.
It seems that it's been a while that rule 63 was popular and i didn't know about it.
that it was a rule on the internet
I agree. All it does is cause stupid impressionable posters to join in on the bullying.
A lot of gaffers have low self esteem and generally do what others do to fit in, like a bunch of ducklings or lemmings.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I love Gokicha <3
