I was making a general statement about when anime has a political theme, not on that particular anime.

Only anime I know of where this is actually a thing is Attack on Titan, but I haven’t watched the last season (apparently it deviates from the source material, maybe for this reason, which is why I haven’t).

Though I guess you could find a utopian vision in a nation that views all to be equally worthless and champions genocide and calling the dark young of shub niggurath to stomp on people.

Yeah, I do like multifaceted morally grey and villainous characters with interesting or even aspiring motives. I highly recommend Hunter X Hunter, The number of characters in that anime that aren’t majorly flawed in one way or another you can count on your fingers. One of the communities favorite characters is a murderous pedo clown that serves as the main characters mentor and drop-in father-figure for a large part of the story. If you watch any single anime and never watch anime again, let it be HxH.

I’ve only finished the anime up to season 4, but I don’t think the theme is that “Nazarick is evil and evil skeleton overlord is fun”, but rather “do the ends justify the means Nazarick takes”, given that Ainz wants to create a utopia where all races live in harmony. It’s very interesting writing given how much time and humanity is given to side characters that are eventually destroyed or imperialized by Nazarick.

That’s funny because if you actually watched Overlord you’d know Ainz’ goal (besides getting back to the real world) is to create a utopia where all races are equal. But keep throwing buzzwords if it makes you feel good.

For someone that hates the right you make a lot of generalizations. Every country with power is a mess politically, but that says nothing about their art.

If you’ve ever watched Overlord you’d know the dead deserve to rule over the living

wrong community? Didn’t realize this was just a community for reposting ycombinator stuff. My bad.

I have no place in this topic as I use mg (minimal emacs-like editor), my window manager, and standard unix shell utils as my “IDE”, but it seems weird/dishonest that vscodium was not mentioned at all in the article, especially since vscodium is compiled without telemetry and is licensed MIT, which are the main complaints the article had about vscode. Reads like an ad if I’m honest.

some tiny hyper-specific communities like c/DeepRockGalactic, as well as c/AssholeDesign (there’s a c/AssholeDesign on .ml, but it’s as dead as a doorknob); also enjoyed c/shitposting from time to time

Blocked lemmy.world after this nonsense, I was already sick of how closely that instance mirrored reddit; including the witch hunting and moderation double-standards (banning piracy and allowing floods of corporate capitalist news propaganda spam is fine, but deleting misinformation and whitewashing of US history is moderator overreach). Had a few communities there I liked, but I can live without them.

POSIX is on .pax.gz and .ustar.gz now, what are you doing?

Sorry, I can’t stand tankies, but tankies are still a lot more rational than the average US conservative these days. Conservative opinions should be censored and don’t need a voice on this platform. “Everyone should have a voice, no matter how destructive and irrational” is its own extreme opinion.
