not proshipper not anti but a secret third thing (person who has a career in the media and, through covering legislative politics, has watched "associating with problematic fiction or entertainment is an indicator of moral degeneracy" rapidly become a mainstream GOP position that they are encoding in legislation to target the queer community under the guise of protecting children, thus coming to the conclusion that positioning the "can people enjoy things that would be immoral IRL in their fiction" debate as a proship v anti fandom debate is akin to pretending that "should we have the death penalty" is a discussion that only matters in Death Note discourse — the extent and manner to which fiction affects reality is an issue that is immediately relevant to today's US politics, and to summarize my opinions on the matter in fandom terms would be to diminish the ways this debate is affecting america Right The Fuck Now. and i have stopped taking "this person is bad for shipping the wrong anime thing and being horny about it" in any sort of good faith ever since I saw it literally used as part of a GOP smear campaign against a transgender state legislator in an attempt to defend the right from backlash after they used their supermajority in the Montana house to prevent her from speaking on the floor. Anyway I think everyone on this site, especially Americans, could benefit from ceasing to think in proship v anti vocabulary and instead developing coherent political positions on the nature of fiction that do not directly align with current fascist political tactics)
♡ Imagine: You tell Kusuo you're romantically attracted to him. He's so disgusted with you that he flees through the window to escape you. You never hear from him again after that.

Get bent. Most people 100% support a writer taking one measly week off updating.
Isn’t it amazing when someone’s utter delusionality about their relative importance in the Great Scheme Of Things breaks out in such florid glory?
I’d go make about a month’s worth of popcorn and start ingesting it in the most leisurely manner possible. (eyeroll) Way to completely misunderstand the concept of a gift economy, there. :/
companies really have got to be okay with stagnant profits. what is wrong with earning the same amount every year? why does it always have to be more? it's not sustainable. there are only so many people on the planet you can profit from 😭
This is the thing. If there are only so many people they can profit from, and they demand to see profits go up every year, they will have to steal more out of the pockets of the little people each year, either by paying less, or by charging more. And that is the problem. Because that is exactly what is happening. And the rich get richer. And the poor are getting so poor that it is coming to a crisis point. They seem to have forgotten what happens at the crisis point though: people who have nothing to lose, will rise up and fight.

But also, “increasing profits every quarter” is a relatively recent thing. It’s new since the 1980s! In the 1980s, Reagan heavily promoted the economic theories connected with the Chicago school of economics. (“Reaganomics” is basically the Chicago school ideas dumbed down to fit in soundbites.) The Chicago school is, among other things, responsible for such wonders as “all regulation in the marketplace is always bad” “monopoly is good because it’s efficient” and “trickle-down economics.” When those ideas became mainstream, and were adopted wholeheartedly by Wall Street, they spawned the idea that the most important measure of a company was its stock increasing in value. Not how much business it was doing, not how well its customers liked and valued it, not how stable it was for the long-term. Is its stock increasing is the only measure of value.
Prior to that point, a business--even large corporations!--were valued more on how reliable they are. If I invest in this business, will it still be there five, ten, fifteen, twenty years from now? Businesses were good if they were profitable and stable. Increasing profits was wonderful! But they understood that that is not infinitely sustainable, and that if you wanted to maximize long-term profits for individual investors and for the economy as a whole, you did not want flash-in-the-pan trendiness, and you didn’t want a business cannibalizing itself, you wanted a business that was stable and took good care of its customers so they’d keep coming back.
it would be kinda cool if hollywood being shut down had the side effect (besides hopefully getting everyone better working conditions ofc) of getting some non US movies and shows a bit more of a platform again outside the US, cause why the fuck is there like mostly only hollywood in much of the world, i love the chokehold US imperialism has on pop culture, it's great
this also goes out to everyone being like "waaahh there will be NO MOVIES and NO SHOWS what am i going to WATCH" like girlie, this is a US strike, u have a whole worlds worth of rly fucking good entertainment to watch. ur missing out, get out of ur comfort zone, watch some weird ass local european movie with questionable subs, go watch that thai tv drama, this is the perfect excuse to check out anime if uve considered it "cringe" so far, there is the whole world of bollywood too! and there is so much shit i dont even know about thats out there just waiting for you to watch it and blorbofy!
