I’m Borealis, AKA the LiteralGrill, and welcome to my home on the Fediverse. My ass is hot and my takes are even hotter, so be prepared!
I’m 31 year-old award-winning author and poet that currently is focused on writing essays about anime and manga these days. I also watched Groundhog Day once a day, every day, to celebrate the movie’s 30th anniversary.
While I often support the use of content warnings, I will not use them surrounding topics on the life I’m living as a trans and disabled person. See my pinned intro post for details.
With this in mind, you’ll like following my page if you care about:
- Disability Justice (I’m Autistic, have ADHD, and am a wheelchair-using amputee.)
- Old weird video games, media formats, and odd technology
- Anime, manga, and analyzing both
- Are radically leftist in general
- Understand that COVID is not over
- Think puns are the height of humor
Sizzle sizzle baby~ 🔥🔥🔥
@alphacyberranger This is a rare isekai I really ended up enjoying. Hopefully season two continues that trend.
@YourPrivatHater Most seem to disagree. Child psychologists disagree. Ratings boards in multiple countries disagree. Kids who have, and continue to watch this movie in Elementary schools growing up healthily is big evidence against it being inappropriate too.
Maybe you’re just wrong? Maybe folks shouldn’t hide the truths of the world from their kids?
@YourPrivatHater @riskable Over 100,000 WWII vets are still alive, today. People are being bombed right now, shelled right now, having white phosphorus dropped on them, right now.
None of this is a “long time ago.” It is within living memory.
@Caligvla It does to my remembrance, like… 110 episodes? I think?
@wjs018 @LiteralGrill@ani.social It truly is a mood which is probably why it struck me so hard too. The pandemic showed me the cruelty of people was far greater than I had ever expected. It’s scary how folks so quickly ignore experts in their fields too.
@wjs018 Oh absolutely, I have no interest in just showing off specific acts happening or anything like that! The themes and story are what intrigue me anyways. I think I miss not being alive when Roger Ebert and other big name critics actually reviewed adult films proper and wish some of that energy would come back.
@wjs018 @LiteralGrill@ani.social I’m so glad you enjoyed the article! (Commenting from Mastodon, heck I love Fediverse features!)
It’s extremely reasonable for that to be what turns you away from watching and I don’t blame you for that at all. I do hope places will let me cover some of the other hentai I saw worth analyzing while becoming a hentai master. If not, I’ll just do so on my blog because some really deserve to be dug into.
@wjs018 @LiteralGrill@ani.social I’m glad you found it! It gets some surprisingly good shows and films on there sometimes. And anything free is worth saving up for, right?
@thisisartman @anime That is such a weird meme, recommending that show to try and trick people into watching it. Which that trend would stop being a thing with anime fans.
@Even_Adder @alphacyberranger Unrelated, but wow does it feel cool seeing an article I wrote years ago randomly liked when I check out the Fedi on a random morning!
While it has never been confirmed to be the case to my knowledge, a LOT of folks thought it was for sure.
