Hello C.G. Runyon

it's twitter college liberal speak https://twitter.com/CGRunyon/status/754453119870734336
tumblr didn't invent sjws
I agree that it's dumb, but you don't need to post it on /a/ as well.

Have you read that recent paper on orientation-preserving safe spaces?
It's looking to become a pretty deep field of mathematics pretty soon.
>>144358463
What the fuck are safe spaces?
>>144358778
I think it's like a force field.
>>144358778
imagine you'rer a victim of some traumatizing event and want a place where you're safe from ptsd
that's the theory
the practice is that some college students want to be coddled like they're still in kindergarten
>>144358778
Architectural term for a space for putting a safe, such as hidden behind a painting.
>>144358778
It's like when you played tag or some shit as a kid and there's that one faggot calling some bench or slide a safe space and that he couldn't get tagged in there. It's a place for losers who can't hack the problems real life presents but still want IRL interactions.
Does this count as navigating heteronormative space in queer bodies?

Nice. The futuristic utopia in which everything is nice and cozy will be possible eventually?
>>144359967
no, because he's a shapeshifting rat.
he doesn't even count as person

>Nice. The futuristic utopia in which everything is nice and cozy will be possible eventually?
definitely not
unless you want psycho pass on steroids

>seeing everything as a metaphor for sexuality/gender identity.
What a sad way to live.
>>144360470
Navigating academia space in a student body usually does that to you.
>>144358778
They're a new type of topological space with a bunch of cool properties, including:
No way to set a canonical orientation
Invariant under all transformations
There exists a simple operation mapping the space to the dual space
Preservation of identity
All limits are respected (But the space cannot be too compact!)
All norms are equivalent
Same cardinality of Hetero- and homo- morphisms (also bimorphisms)
The full list is pretty long.
Look them up if you're interested.
>>144360470
In fairness Utena was pretty fucking on the nose with its symbolism.
>>144360470
The problem with sexuality and gender identity is that you can interpret literally anything as metaphor for it.
>>144360730
it's sex
>>144360592
This is a nerdy as fuck joke. How deep are you going into maths?
>>144359967
Those fuckin ears and nose
>>144360470
Seeing metaphors everywhere is actually an amazing and mind-blowing way to live. I recommend it to everyone. The unintentional poetry of life is infinitely fascinating.
>>144359153
This is my favorite post
>>144361083
I lived in a state like that during half a year because I was going crazy. It was fun but paranoia sinked everytime I heard people talk about any topic so I had to retake the control of my life.
Still, it was a fun ride. I cried while petting a street dog and I talked with random people in the streets just because the world's beauty was too much to not try to talk about it.
Now I'm fine, my only sin isblogposting.
>>144359588
How do I turn /a/ into my safe space? I don't want people calling my favourite anime shit
>>144361300
Have a favorite anime so obscure that it never gets talked about here
>>144361300
start a general
>>144360923
I just finished an undergrad degree, if that's what you're asking. No plans to study any further, though
>>144361300
Pick a new favorite anime. I recommend something like Argento Soma or Baldios.
Then NO ONE will insult your favorite anime.
queer poc bodies
>>144360730
Utena and FLCL both have Enokido scripts full of sexual symbolism. The problem isn't seeing the sexual symbolism, it's talking like an academic robot.
"Queer bodies" and shit like that is try-hard "do I fit in yet" liberal academic-speak. I spend a lot of time on both left and right wing communities and this shit is the lib equivalent of "white genocide".
>>144361487
that won't prevent it from being garbage.
>>144357060

Maybe I'm braindead but how the fuck is all this admittedly stunning architecture gay

how to deal with being a fucking faggot when everyone else is straight
>>144367816
No he's saying the world of Utena's movie is "heteronormative" which is even dumber because homosexual attraction is common and lesbians are hardly oppressed in it. They worship a repugnant male figure but they also make the point that Utena could take his role despite being a woman which was basically their way of implying that lesbian relationships aren't inherently 'purer' and can also be abusive. Utena refusing the dominant status and choosing to just have a normal healthy relationship was the whole point.
SJWs project their radfem beliefs over Utena when it's way more grounded in reality than their fucked up indoctrinated views
>>144367295
what the fuck does using 'bodies' to describe people even mean and why do a lot of insane lefties do that. it sure doesn't make the subject sound like a human
>>144361083
>pottery
Fuck off
>>144364600
>Argento Soma
People insult Argento Soma every time it comes up for being a mediocre NGE clone whose only redeeming feature is the visuals.
>>144368138
It's because they wanna sound smart but don't know jackshit so they just waffle their words without saying anything meaningful.
>>144368138
I think it's because some guy who wrote a book started it and they all started using the same wording to fit in, but I still have no fucking idea what the logic behind it is.
I'm not gonna read the book but maybe it comes from the idea of minorities being "dehumanized" and seen as a soulless "body" or something to that effect and all the pretentious retards who picked it up lost this context and just squeeze the word "bodies" into all their #woke tweets to look intellectual
>>144367295
White genocide might be an alarmist term but what it describes are things that are actually happening, like German leaders choosing to mass import millions of third worlders instead of incentivizing Germans to have more children.
>>144368341
I can definitely understand being upset about mass immigration but I don't think there's some jewish plot to wipe out the white race and generally brown people are gonna breed with brown people and white people are gonna breed with white people.
There are definitely self hating whites who want the white race bred out and even a college professor who says she never wants to have a child because her white genes are toxic and privileged (I'm not fucking joking) but
1. they're a minority and
2. would you REALLY want those faggots in the gene pool to begin with?
>>144368327
>I think it's because some guy who wrote a book started it and they all started using the same wording to fit in, but I still have no fucking idea what the logic behind it is.
I'm pretty sure this is the story behind like 90% of the liberal arts. One dude defined a term in a specific context once, and then everyone else ran with it until no one knew what they they were saying anymore.
>>144368290
Bruh, I actually had fun watching captain just fuck my shit up try and stick it to the confused giant astronaut only to be ignored by it time after time again. Which is more than I can say for EVA where the only things I liked were Ramiel and Leliel.
>>144368555
>jewish plot
There are undoubtedly jews who despise non-Jewish whites- see Tim Wise- though they obviously aren't a unified front communicating telepathically to conquer the world
Ultimately it's a case of right wingers wanting cheap labor and left wingers being either self-hating or under the delusion that third worlders will come in and vote for more socialism so the TRUE REVOLUTION (TM) can occur. And meanwhile most of these third worlders have their own agenda.
The saying humans are dumbest in large groups doesn't refer to people having the same idea and making the same stupid decision, but people having multiple ideas but managing to come to the same idiotic answer
>>144364600
>Argento Soma
Damn. I remember starting to watch it and it was ok. Don't remember why I dropped. Probably because I had shit internet (and search skills) back then, and it was obscure. Is it completely subbed?
>>144360592
Laughed pretty hard.
>>144361300
filter a bunch of words
>>144369611
Its fully subbed on BakaBT if you're interested

AT fields.
How do I talk about cool philosophy/social commentary in anime or manga without attacting "die cis scum" or "white pride worldwide" types?
>>144374696
Post on late night /a/ when the Americlaps are asleep
>>144374696
I mostly love the liberalism in Ishinomori & Tezuka manga because yeah it's very progressive and whatnot but it's also not held back by the PC bullshit that modern murrikan comics are and thus does some commentary that's actually really good
Tezuka and his fans shit on Alabaster but I love the way he handled Alabaster as a character (the cartoonish exaggerated characterization did not bother me because it was a shonen magazine-published manga and everything was consistently cartoonish) by showing the unfair realities that made him go insane, but also didn't justify any of the insane crap he did as "justfully striking back at an oppressive world".
Tezuka also made the point that a "LISTEN AND BELIEVE" approach to women claiming abuse is fucked and can lead to unfair sentencing
Ishinomori & Tezuka also acknowledge that Japanese people can be very racist (yes, to white people too).
>>144376261
The intro from the English release of the Cyborg 009 manga about not changing the "problematic" art:
"In depicting his heroes, Ishinomori chose to exploit various and even erroneous archetypes - the African is rendered in a minstrel style that accentuates his lips and makes him look vaguely simian; the Chinese farmer is a bumbling idiot; the Native American is a strong, silent type with a Mohawk and painted face. On the surface, these choices may look as if Ishinomori succumbed to the inherent racism of his time. But the characters he invents are extraordinary, caring people who rise to the challenge of saving the world, together, as a group working in concert. These characters shatter their stereotypes and emerge as individuals, firm of conviction and pure of heart. Whereas its outward veneer may seem racist, Ishinomori’s content is anything but.
Today, we are frightened to death of racist stereotypes. Political Correctness has done its job of expurgating racism from our vernacular. But if we completely forget the ugliness that came before, we also forget why we embarked on that path of expurgation in the first place. Ishinomori utilizes the mythos and the appearance of that ugliness to combat it."
I guess you could say this is wrong and Ishinomori & Tezuka just didn't know, but... I honestly think they did. They knew far too much about western politics and racial struggles to not know that drawing caricatured races is offensive, and Tezuka even used jewish caricatures to represent anti-semitism (while at the end also criticizing Israel)
And Ishinomori acknowledged the fact that his native american character fits a stereotype early on.
