You drew a direct comparison between fascist states and social media, on the basis of their evil deeds.

stop being so butthurt in your comments. You're getting absolutely roasted. Just take the L

I know art is subjective, but like... 26 episodes devoted to watching an annoying little shit face become even more annoying and shittier?

I want to like the show so bad, but shinji is just so unpleasant to watch.

Generally I think there is value in engaging with media that makes you experience negative and uncomfortable emotions, but I think the exception to that is anger. If the predominant emotions is anger, then probably not a tremendous amount of value. Most other emotions evoked by media are either enjoyable themselves or produce enjoyable after effects (like the thrill of horror, or the catharsis of tragedy); but not anger.

Ignoring your mixup of persecution and prosecution, it's wild that you're even remotely putting mass execution and imprisonment on the same level as having your singular thread removed from a privately hosted forum that you voluntarily joined.

Censorship by privately run and hosted forums is not remotely equivalent to the horrors of totalitarian and fascist governments. Even if people were to agree that it's evil (which it's not, paradox of tolerance), the comparison is beyond the pale.

This is one of the most chronically online takes I've ever heard.

And that's honestly a real shame when you think about what that tells us about how our society values education.

But nobody does think about it, because thinking about it doesn't put bread on the table.

God I don't understand why people love this anime.

I know it's a deconstruction of the super robot. I know that shinji has a plausibly realistic reaction to his situation, especially as an unwilling Eva pilot. That doesn't make me wanna watch the psychological unravelling of a child until he becomes completely insufferable and wanks it over his comatose friend. Why does anyone wanna watch that, no matter how powerful?

No, he is an insufferable whiney little shitfart. 100% incel energy.

It's probably the most accurate description I've ever heard of shinji

It honestly took me a few seconds to get.
I'm ashamed it took me that long
I'm even more ashamed I got it at all

I don't think that appealing typewriters as an authority on ergonomics is really a great move.

Because you're paying for a gimmick instead of quality, and you don't wanna support products that dont do that, and in capitalism that's the only way to vote for what products get created.

There are reasons you may want an app besides rbg: like if your keyboard supports macros, or if you have a hall sensor keyboard and you want to configure the activation and deactivation heights of your key presses.

But yeah, I kinda think rbg keyboards are lame
