  • Anime girl backgrounds are mostly waifu/waifu veneration culture in the anime fandom sphere. Otherwise if motherfuckers were setting full on hentai doujinshi panels as their backgrounds…holy shit, that would be wild and bring up a few questions as to the mental health and porn addiction of the individual involved, unless it was some stylistic repeated Ahegao face collage of some sort for the memery.




  • From what I’ve heard, there are “Japanese Nationals” only spaces. But there are also many (if hazard to guess a majority of these locations) places that, due to their lack of English skills, put signs that mean to them “Japanese language only”, that is to say, they the proprietors of said location can only speak and write in Japanese, and therefore if you try to speak to them in your language, will not likely be able to service you properly. Some of these places will try their best to service you and let you in as well. Granted there are also places that will deny service if you don’t speak any Japanese, and that is ridiculous, but I’d like to think those places are few and far between as well.














  • I think it’s another message. Tate says “The world is fucked up” and then proceeds to say “I have the secret, if you want to make it in this fucked up world you have to be tough, uncompromising, domineering, cheat, and act like me” and “you’re a sucker and a cuck if you don’t do what I say”. First message sets up the world, 2nd sets up a “”“”“solution”“”“” to success that only a “few” people know, and the final thing is him attempting to make anyone who believes otherwise look weak which gives any of his followers the ability to a) feel a sense of superiority and b) make fun of others for being “weak” or “cucks” or “betas” or whatever.

    I often think that when people talk about peaceful protest, they use the broadness and ambiguity of the word “”“peaceful”“” to clamp down on any actual protest. The civil rights movement was non-violent, and if non-violence is your standard for peaceful, than it’s peaceful. Conservatives however see anything illegal happening in a protest, and even though there was lack of violence, will say “they did something illegal, therefore it isn’t peaceful”. Civil disobedience, that is illegally not following an unjust law, must be practiced for non-violent protest to be effective. Over the years conservatives have managed to make it seem as if the civil rights movement won by just passively picketing buildings.

    By the way, It’s a matter of semantics sure, but sometimes, semantics can be very important, especially if you want to make a very specific point.
