- Horny internet nerds prefer cartoons instead of real women - Since when? - Since anime and furries - deleted by creator - Here is an alternative Piped link(s): - this newscaster learning on-air what a furry is - Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube. - I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub. 
- I had to explain this to a coworker 10-years ago and she thought I was fucking with her. - “Go Google ‘furry’, but do it on your own PC. Can’t swear what you might see.” - “OH MY GOD! YOU WEREN’T JOKING!!!” 
 
- Well if you are not a furry then you might want to change the “we’re” to “were” - woops - Freudian slip? 
 
 
 
- Fitz the Cat happened in '72. 
 
 
 
- But real women smell! (so do real men) 
 
- People aren’t original and are bandwagoning on whatever content gets traction. - Every heard of the word meme? - I think you mean this word meme 
 
- Has there been a Sailor Moon bean meme yet? - Here.  
- Don’t let your memes be dreams - Found one.  
 
 
- I’m all for It while it’s fun, if everyone is original, then no one is original - That’s not how the definition of original works lol - 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. - No, you’re just overthinking it. - that was… the whole point… overthinking the meaning of something 
 
- There’s always a copycat 
 
 
 
 
- 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. - 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 - That explains it a little. I have NSFW turned off. - They’re just in the AI generated images, idk why dude said NSFW, but I guess its spread there too 🤷♀️ 
 
- 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. 
 
 
- Wut? I haven’t seen any over the past few says. Do you have any examples? - Fuck that got me. 
- Okay, it’s kind of funny. 
- ‘Sailor Moon’ taken too literally 
 
 
- I feel mostly responsible. I am not sorry. - Need more 
- Nice. 
 
- I’ve had that sub blocked for so long I forgot it existed 
- I see Anime, I block. I’m a simple man. - deleted by creator - russian, japanese or otherwise ‘communist’ Japanese = ‘communist’??? - deleted by creator - It struck me as odd as well. Those words don’t go together, like, at all. :) - And besides, GenX never give two shits about the Axis powers. The Cold War was our war. And while I didn’t hate the Russians back then, I sure as hell do now. 
- Yeah, that makes more sense. Thank you. 
 
 
- 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. - 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… - 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%. 
 
 
- 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. - 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 
 
- '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.
