Been watching Castlevania, it's weird how it manages to sound like a strangely dubbed anime despite apparently being a Western produced show. It's not bad overall, and the actors are mostly ok, but a lot of the dialogue feels just sort of off, the same feeling you get when English VAs are reading scripts awkwardly translated from Japanese. Also Hector is one of the most pathetic characters I've ever seen in any show or movie, ever.

The two Jap characters in the third season sound Engrishy as hell, it's so hilariously awkard. Especially when they fuck Alucard.

Pearl's basically fucking humans on the regular as of the end of Future IIRC. That shot you have there is from an episode that actually deals with historical inaccuracies, funnily enough.

I try to forget Future so I often forget facts like that. Especially when they never matter in the end. It’s still not a good idea to have the literally white gem give a lecture on black creators; I can already imagine the screeching on twitter.

I think the awkwardness stems from the fact that got live action actors doing the voice work instead of experienced VAs.

Nerds say retarded shit because it's en vogue? In other words water is wet.

People on both sides of the retarded culture war need to relearn you can like someone's work even if you disagree with their politics.

You’re expecting Kiwi Farms if all places to relearn shit like that.
These people get triggered over Steven Universe for Christ’s sake. You’re basically talking to a brick wall.

You’re still taking a dead end.
The culture war has rotted people’s brains so badly they’re either for or against it to autistic degrees. You might as well just sit back and watch them slap fight.

That's pretty much what I do now.

I didn't stop buying comics just because Marvel and DC are filled with politards who won't shut up about orange tard.

Said it in another thread about Ellen Page trooning out but I just can't get mad at culture war shit anymore because it's just blatant trend chasing and attention whoring now.

Does anyone really think megacorps like Sony or Disney actually care about that shit and aren't just riding a trend for good press?

The death of the culture wars will be a boon for mankind. When there are no more -gates we will finally be free.

People have to get mad at something I guess.
The more people stop giving a shit, the better off everyone will be.
Good for Ellen Page though.

Sadly mankind is not at that enlightenment level yet. People want something to fill the void in their lives instead of being free.
 
I always imagine how a well-structured show lineal-driven like Avatar can be relatable again.

I mean, can't be too difficult create a more complex story in a cartoon nowadays, right? I don't say ATLA has a complex base (it's more simple than the fandom's fags can think) but anyone who watched the series said the same thing about quality.

I have actually a idea about that, but first i need finish my novel to prove that "how"

Sorry to be that asshole, but CN, do you mind explaining how blacks are always left out of history?

Also, MLK is literally the only figure of the 20th century to have a special day designated as a holiday, and there is an entire month that is dedicated to Black History (and schools do teach Black History during that month).

I mean, I learned about black inventors all the time when I was in grade school and that was close to 30 years ago. The fuck you on about? What school do you all go to?

This is interesting as I've had this discussion with people in the past. The extreme leftists that you see on Twitter, Tumblr, and the like have generally rejected Religion, specifically Christianity. That in and of itself is not horrible, but I've wondered if these people have used this Woke-ism and Leftist Dogma to fill the void left behind by the Religion they left and going super super hard to show how dedicated they are to it.

I don't want to make that connection, but alot of the language that comes out from these people feels like something coming from Religious Zealots, and I've seen plenty of Christians use their faith to put themselves above other people on the moral pecking order too that this stuff actually reminds me of those Christians.
