I'll take this person over the jackass with "Three Percent" crap, Punisher skulls, hoplite helmets, Moron Labe, or any of the other crazy gun culture stuff that shows up on trucks usually. The worst this driver is likely to do is try to inject anime into every conversation.

The only one of these I recognize by name is "Punisher skulls", but I bet the others would look familiar if I saw them.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Hoplite helmets are an ancient greek style of combat helmet.

And the 'Moron Labe' is a (intentional?) misspelling of "Molon Labe" (ancient greek) which roughly translates to "Come and take them".

All part of their persecution fetish.

The Greek helmet thing being relevant for both the militarist aspect and dogwhistling Western cultural supremacy.

3% meaning the weird idea that only 3% of the colonial American population took up arms in the Revolutionary War so it doesn't matter how unpopular your unhinged fascistic ideas are you're the good guy.

First off, it's wrong, second off, it's annoying that all the violent revolutionaries are both blisteringly incompetent and on the wrong side.

This.

Because if someone makes a suggestion online that maybe some rich assholes need to be clapped, they get dogpiled before they get banned. Rightoids stick together no matter how bad their ideas are, but leftists have to pick everything apart before declaring that it's impossible and the corporations have already won.

It's incredibly easy to disrupt the people in charge, but everyone wants to protest peacefully, protest the way the cops want you to, but nobody wants to actually do something.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 10 months ago

Protest the way the cops want you to, then punish you for doing, mind you.

Weird how that doesn't happen when the protestors are open carrying.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I've been trying to point that out. It's not because the armed people are on the same side as the cops, it's because they are armed.

Also don't let em near your daughter lol

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

ftfy

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 34 points 10 months ago

Not gonna worry if the new guy has weeb shit on his rig. He is most likely not a bad person, unlike the guy using a joker pfp.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Now, the guy with the Hisoka pfp... Hide your kids, hide your wife.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 7 points 10 months ago

Probably best to cover your drinks around him.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 months ago

The guy with the joker pfp? Yeah sure, smart move.

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Cast from the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion", you can even read "Evangelion" on the left side of the car.

Pretty good and influential anime movie/series, it's really worth a watch. Sincerely, please give him a greeting from me.

Although the skimpy swim suits are, well, not exactly my taste and don't do the story of the series any service.

[-] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Rei is a lot chestier than I remembered.

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Just do yourself a favor and do not watch "End of Evangelion". Shit is traumatizing in so many ways. I've removed it from my head-canon.

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I watched EoE and I was glad I did because it is pretty clear from the start these two episodes are going to be different. The characters are let loose from their leash, their "inner program" and reasoning can come out and be judged, not constrained by the series anymore. It also gives insight about the world, the Evas, raises questions and creates facts and opinions. I agree it is pretty forte and you'd need some media competency to be able to say "this is a show, it has an agenda and it uses these pictures to manifest it".

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I really don't even think it was quite that deep. It really didn't require much "media competency". Obviously there were things beyond the surface to unpack there, like all media, my partner and I were just very uncomfortable with an underage breast popping out on screen and the underage protagonist masturbating to that. Additionally, I couldn't even count on one hand the amount of times the underage girls were nude or doing sexual acts in EoE. I don't think those pictures were necessary to manifest any greater meaning.

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I agree and I also did not feel comfortable either.

But I think the scene was not for me but for the character and thus for me about the character and his motivations/ethics. It's a bit hard for me to explain as I'm no native speaker so the nuances get lost but I hope you understand.

Them being underage/teenagers cannot be changes as that's their age and necessary for plot reasons. Also, coming of age and challenging/compromising social ethics and morals while being confronted with puberty, mood swings and general "who am I" fits the character's age, personality and general theme of the whole series (as well as reality).

In addition please use spoiler tags or refrain from disclosing story elements

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 29 points 10 months ago

It's called taste. Look it up.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 23 points 10 months ago

Why they gave rei such big gonzonolongabongas

[-] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

Coming from the person who has a clown as their social media icon…

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago

aren't most of those characters depictions of children?

[-] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Rei and Asuka were supposed to be thirteen in the original series.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

You point out its cringe because its anime.

I point out its cringe because they are underage.

We are technically the same.

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Technically yes, because they are, in the anime, school pupils. Won't spoil the story here.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Looks like someone is man enough to decorate his truck the way they want it, instead of what peer pressure would dictate.

[-] numberz@mastodon.social 10 points 10 months ago

They say if you have a song in your heart you should just sing it 🤣

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago
