Horny internet nerds prefer cartoons instead of real women

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Since when?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Since anime and furries

[–] m_r_butts@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Furries were invented in 1976.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

And were originally associated with smutty comics/ advertisements! Basically animal pinups that were supposed to be edgy.

I'm not even a furry, but I really loved this video about it. (It's long form)

[–] Taiatari@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well if you are not a furry then you might want to change the "we're" to "were"

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

woops

Freudian slip?

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Fitz the Cat happened in '72.

[–] Guest_User@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

But real women smell! (so do real men)

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People aren’t original and are bandwagoning on whatever content gets traction.

Has there been a Sailor Moon bean meme yet?

[–] kofe@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't let your memes be dreams

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 19 points 2 years ago

Found one.

Sailor Moon with Rowan Atkinson's face

[–] hswolf@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm all for It while it's fun, if everyone is original, then no one is original

[–] moog@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's not how the definition of original works lol

[–] hswolf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean, sure, the dictionary definition says "created directly and personally by a particular artist; not a copy or imitation", and I agree with that, but hear me out, I like these philosophical rabbit holes.

The definition says "not a copy or imitation", so we are presupposing that those things exist, so something original is the antithesis of a copy or imitation.

Now imagine if absolutely everything is original, wouldn't the word lose its meaning? Isn't something original the opposite of a copy? If no copies exist wouldn't it be the opposite of nothing? Or even itself?

Original things wouldn't be original, they would just be.

[–] moog@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, you're just overthinking it.

[–] hswolf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

that was... the whole point... overthinking the meaning of something

[–] Bene7rddso@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

There's always a copycat

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe it's the instance I'm on, lemme(dot)ee, but I have absolutely no clue what's going on since I ain't seeing any sailor moon ai art.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If you scroll the main lemmy feed and get even a few pages down you'll undoubtedly start encountering tons of AI art/porn lemmy communities. I block each one but it's like whack-a-mole

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That explains it a little. I have NSFW turned off.

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

They're just in the AI generated images, idk why dude said NSFW, but I guess its spread there too 🤷‍♀️

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I've definitely seen those, but never sailor moon specifically. I also don't block them since I've already scrolled down far enough that there usually isn't really any good content left to find at that point.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wut? I haven't seen any over the past few says. Do you have any examples?

Fuck that got me.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Okay, it's kind of funny.

[–] Otherwise_Direction7@monyet.cc 3 points 2 years ago

‘Sailor Moon’ taken too literally

I feel mostly responsible. I am not sorry.

[–] bestnerd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Need more

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Nice.

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see Anime, I block. I'm a simple man.

russian, japanese or otherwise 'communist' Japanese = 'communist'???

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Born in 84, loved Saber Rider and The Star Sheriffs and the like. Never was a fan of that typical wacky behavior in Anime. Plus I liked Saber Rider and others in spite the art style.

And as time went by, I got more and more annoyed of being bombarded with Anime almost anywhere. (That's how I imagine not being a Star Wars fan when new stuff is out) Plus it seemed to become a beast of its own with huge eyes, screaming and so much cuteness, it makes me puke. It's just not for me.

And I loved Metro 2033, even though I never made it past the first two chapters of 2034. It just didn't click.

So, no. No lefty, nor right. Only human.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's not all like that at all, and i guess i don't understand the mindset of being annoyed by other people posting about things they like...

[–] ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

They never said, that they are annoyied by other ppl liking/posting it. They don't like it, so they block it in order to not see things they don't enjoy.

Thats how the internet works. Roughly 95% on the internet is not your cup of tea - learn how to find your 5%.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's me, but that's not why I block anime. A lot of it on Lemmy is really creepy. Very childish looking characters, with very womanly features, in very sexual depictions. I don't understand the appeal, and don't want to understand the appeal. As far as general anime like Altered Carbon, or Ghost in the Shell, I think that stuff is pretty cool. But that's not what I see a million posts of here on this platform, so I just added keywords to filter all of it out.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Based response and I'm with you. I could watch Bebop, Trigun, GiTS all day but some of the newer anime stuff just puts me right off

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

'71 here! We SO loved all the Robotech/Macros stuff back in the day. We'd never seen anything like it!

But yeah, I block about every anime group I find because it's either hyper-sexualized little girls or furry fucking.

So for me, it has nothing to do with it being Japanese in origin. Hell, we were the original weeaboos. And for that matter, my wife is half Japanese.

As for the rest of GenX? Obviously I can't speak for all of us, but I'm not sure I've heard anyone say, "I don't like that Japanese/Russian/communist art/entertainment." That would be weird.
