People with stage 4 cancer usually don't have estates once they pass. It's fucking expensive to die in this country.

If you go by the opinions I have seen expressed online, none of them.

Soul Eater has a bunch of it, tho it's not a very good anime. Trigun too. Really tho it's all over, it'll crop up even if you aren't looking for it.

Japanese media is full of this, and it's great. All kinds of absurd cross-shaped guns and militant priests with nothing more than vague aesthetic similarities to practiced christianity. A delightful reciprocation to how western media treats japanese culture.

Tf? No it hasn't. People have been persecuting gays for hundreds of years, and those churches are still going strong. Look at... well, every single church.

But it can't be wrong, it's confirming my preconceptions!!

Fuck, are we going to have to crowdfund this? At least with CNN reporting on it there's enough awareness they might secure alternative sources, but this is getting fucking insane.

I fear that would just turn into a system for forcing surprise dick pics onto people

That it's a totally fair choice makes it all the better. Vegas-style buffets are a production that really caught on globally (thanks to that marketing) and really are a distinct style. But like, theres fuckall other options for them, nevada is a fucking cultural wasteland (if you ignore those tens of thousands of years of indigenous culture, but who cares about THAT...)

I havent done a linguistic survey I admit, but at least in my experience 'weeb' is a gender neutral term and the anime fandomis at most slightly skewed towards male fans (fascinating article btw). In short yeah there are differences between the genders, but they mostly differ between media targeted at one gender or another (Military Drama vs. Gay Vampire Romance, for example. Stereotypes go brrrr.)

Would not have thought the venn diagram of weeb and horsegirl covered enough people to fund a game like this, but the more I think about it the more this makes total sense

It's a pretty recent one that seems to be gaining popularity in more and more subcategories as youtube's hypersensitive demonization bot rolls out to more and more videos. Using the words 'suicide', 'pedophile' or any terms related to self harm reportedly set it off, regardless of their use in context. People are retaliating by using "youtube" as a euphemism in place of the censored terms, hoping it will catch on. So far it seems to be working, as no matter your political, ideological, social or cultural baises we can all band together and agree that youtube are just the worst.
