Noam Chomsky on Artificial Intelligence: "The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations..." "... Let's stop calling it "Artificial Intelligence" then and call it for what it is and makes "plagiarism software" because "It doesn't create anything, but copies existing works, of existing artists, modifying them enough to escape copyright laws...."

The battle ratio number is also dumb because if you do a mass attack with 50 characters from 50 different people it counts as one for the ratio. Dumbest shit ever. Check their art first.

caiti may not have lost friends but she did lose: credibility, her reputation, she completely removed her own automity(I can't spell), and(according to her) her passion for being a cc.

which imo is the most damning thing. because she could potentially fix/rebuild those other things. it might take a while and they'll always lurk in the background. but at the end of the day passion for smth is really the biggest driving force and the reason ppl gravitate towards creators. and even if she did try to come back, if she's still not as passionate as before, people will notice. there's a reason people prefer people who are obviously really enjoying the things they're doing rather than people who are just in it for the money

i personally dont see ryker as a bad guy just a regular teen boy tbh. hes not that bad imo since we havent seen much of him to really judge fairly. one rough interaction isnt fair enough to think hes a bad kid

He's not a clean cut nerdy college kid like Jay, he's a little rough around the edges and never learned how to properly address a grown ass man, but that doesn't make him an inherently bad kid. He's also cute.

He's a teenage boy with hormones raging who has the attention of a beautiful cheerleading captain. Should we expect anything less?

You raise a good point, which is why I really wish that Season 3 wasn’t fucked over by Disney: maybe we would’ve gotten more context to how their relationship is now. It’s the whole reason why I try to not put too much stalk in Dadrius being canon (hell the voice actor changed his name to Hunter Noceda). Having more context would’ve been great... but because it doesn’t, that’s why I think it’s a stretch. Let me make something clear: I’m not bothered by Dadrius as a concept whether it’s canon or not. While it is a bit of a stretch in relation to canon, the idea of Hunter having a fatherly figure in his life is a pretty healthy idea, provided that it’s written correctly.

You must live on a strange planet. Your tags aren't funny at all. And Mifune doesn't appeal to girls as a "pretty boy to ship with other pretty boys." That's not why girls like Stein or Spirit either. I'm sending this because your generalization is extremely offensive.

As a girl I can't speak for why Mifune would appeal to boys. But I can speak for the girls.

The reason ALL of these characters appeal is due to their complexity as characters! I'm going to talk anime perspective first here because it's more brief.

Mifune: a warrior who has taken time to hone and perfect his craft. Didn't seem to have a purpose in life, just taking jobs where he could. Until Angela. Then he makes a 180-degree turn and shifts his entire life's focus to protecting her. He has a great compassion for children, for those who can't defend themselves. He'll fight not to kill most of the time, giving those second, third, fourth chances. We see it in his repeated compassion to Black Star, and also to Sid. But then the moral conundrum! He's chosen to protect the defenseless, but he doesn't mind if that means choosing to fight for the "evil" side. How does he truly feel about this? Is his morality truly that grey?

Stein: presented as a villain in his introduction so powerfully that you don't believe for sure he's on the side of good for practically the entire series. You keep waiting for the betrayal, the slip-up. Is he going to target a student or someone else for his dissection experiments? Is he going to go mad at random? Is he going to join Medusa willingly and fight for her "new order?" Or is he just the victim of madness? He claims to want to fight for "good" but then the madness takes him to the witch. We are never certain with Stein, right up until the very end! We can't be certain of him really until after Marie saves him from the madness. What a combination! The unknowns about what he's truly thinking, his inherent battle with "mental illness" (madness), and then the tension of what's going to happen to him in the end: will he fall entirely, or be saved? Which does he truly want?

Spirit: presented as a disloyal womanizer, a boozer, and...Death's weapon!? Already a conundrum. Are we supposed to hate this guy or think he's cool? From his very first appearance, just like Stein and Mifune, we are not given a box or stereotype to fit him into. Then we soon discover he was violated in his youth, experimented on, betrayed by his long-time partner in the anime all about trust with one's partner. We get to see him fight competently and powerfully, we get to see him make thoughtful and wise decisions. We get to see him having various breakdowns and various responses to the fear of losing the ability to be with his daughter. We see him lonely and desperate. And we see him at the bar, his only friends the girls who serve him drinks. And we see that he adores his daughter to the point of staying awake three days and nights just to send her "good vibes" for her test, and buying her a gift that he never bothers to check to see if she likes! Because he didn't buy it to build himself up in her eyes, but just as a gift of celebration. (Sad that backfired on him.)

All three of these characters have a complex morality that doesn't fit into any stereotype or any box. Stereotypes are presented for each of them in their own ways, but they break them at every turn.

It's neat how that aligns with the overall question of the show, regarding where moral power comes from and is there any true morality. Each character plays into the question fantastically simply by each of their natures.

And, this is true for the manga as well. Each character's story simply goes farther and ends differently, but these moral questions? Remain at the end. No conclusion is reached for any of them. Mifune doesn't get a chance to reach a conclusion, but he is true to his presentation until the very end; Stein blatantly states the morality will always be a question for him; and Spirit's life is flipped upside down, but he's still the same person.

So, no, as previously stated, your generalization that girls like these characters to ship them with other pretty boys is wrong and offensive. We like the characters because they are interesting characters!

Also, a boy doesn't have to fall into a "pretty" stereotype to be interesting OR to be shipped. Examples from other animation off the top of my head are Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon, Vox from Hazbin Hotel, and Greg from Steven Universe. Three characters with deeply interesting stories!! The stories! We don't like or ship them because they're pretty. It's the stories!

I can't even vote in your poll since your premise is so wrong.

I mean this is a good and interesting answer, yet still its hard to walk on eggshells and make jokes that everyone finds funny (especially when I joke about myself often so I hope it makes it clear that its tongue in cheek atleast partly)

Still I think its dishonest to imply that many anime fans dont just ship charachters cause they get off to it - Like when we look at what boys ship, its often the two hottest female charachters, like I found out that even in kids cartoons like Kim Possible instead of the basically confirmed relationship, people rather say "Oh the teenaged girl is hot and the henchman lady is hot so I like them together!"

Ofcourse some may genuinely say "No actually I dont care about that aspect, its-"

But to say that not a significant amount does is just in my oppinion ridicolous, and maybe its impolite to say but thats just my blog, if people dont like it, it is what it is🤷‍♂️

I agree with most things in your post but this part re: allies in potentially abusive situations with cousin marriages: “You can go to your uncle for help if something is going wrong. You have an established network.”

The sexism of that day’s society would mean that the man would always choose the abusive man, and especially, his own son over the word of any woman, even a daughter. You see this is still-very-sexist societies and individual families today. And frequently, abuse by a man is learned from an abusive father, and would’ve been moreso in a very traditional society where men were meant to instruct sons and women their daughters to follow in their footsteps.

Like the optimism is admirable but it is not likely. More likely situations like being scapegoated in a group ala Mansfield Park, but this time, for speaking out

This question references this post.

So you make a very good point and I checked what I said and I wasn't very clear. Let me clarify:

In a situation where abuse is normal to the family and learned, you are totally right. Marrying into that family might make things worse and your family network would probably not help.

However, in a situation where the family's honour and reputation are in danger, I can see a cousin marriage helping. For example, if your normally responsible husband suddenly starts drinking in excess or gambling, it would hopefully be in your family's best interest to help you out. Or if your husband dies, hopefully you would have better support as a widow since you aren't "just" married in, you're family.

But yes, in a sexist society, blaming the woman seems far too common. And there are no guarantees.
