This looks like those countryhumans/your boyfriend things that Russians love.

Seconding this, what is it?

Music video is fine, the art style actually reminds me more of Deepseaprisoner with a dash of Homestuck than Vivzie. I don't know how you can be invested in a four minute music video though if thats all it is. I need characters and interactions to get me hooked, give me two cute guys and show me why I should care!

Countryhumans was a real "I'm too old" moment for me, I spent a while trying to find the webcomic people were drawing art of and was SHOCKED to see it was literally a fandom of nothing. It's like if Hetalia had designs but no actual characters or personalities. Really weird, I guess to an extent stuff like Vocaloid falls into that but I don't know, Countryhumand was much more bizarre to me.

Almost makes me miss when we defended fujoism by saying "well it's like when guys watch lesbian porn they get to see two women, but we get to see two men".

Also that fake media player edit is shit, you can see the JPEG artifacts and the white pixels in the corners.

Nonna, for your mental health and sanity just avoid commentary youtubers and video essayists. Each time you click on one of these videos you are asking for it, and by it a mean cancer.

I don't care if I sound like some /pol/ scrote but I miss the days before identity politics invaded fandoms terribly.

>>5407
You don't sound like a pol scrote at all. The culture war garbage has ruined every English-speaking fandom for me, and it's depressing. I've had to block or mute English fandom accounts left and right because I don't want to see the smallest, dumbest things people argue about. I really hate how both extremist leftists and groyper alt-righters are becoming increasingly obnoxious, using Japanese media as a tool for their political culture wars. It's so tiresome.

Maybe? I think its just kind of gentle and not typically masculine. Though a lot of 60s and 70s muwoc os pretty unintentionally gay lmao.

Is this the gay music thread? I nominate most of The Smiths discography if thats the case!

I nominate this, always reminded me of the movie romeo x juliet

I got them from a hobby shop in my city, I saw some model kits sold at a bookstore chain stores near me, but the kits there are more expensive so I'll stick to the hobby shop. I've been looking at kits online too, Hobby Link Japan has a ton from different manifacturers, scales and military craft - aircraft, submarines, trains, boats, etc. You can look up any online stores you like, I rarely buy things online so I can't help much with this. TwT
I'm a beginner myself, I've read that for your first time building a model kit you can choose one that doesn't require glue, and the smaller scales are good for showing you the ropes. The Hawker in the picture is the type that you can assemble without glue, it was enjoyable, but you should be careful not to hurt the smaller parts - some of them are easy to deform. The Comanche required glue, so when you build something like it pay a lot of attention to put the parts right, I accidentally placed the wheels first and after the glue dried there was no way for me to remove them without breaking them, so the plates under them were harder to put on the right place and one of them tilted.
If you do choose to build something I (and the other nonnas too, I'm sure) would be happy to see it, no matter what vehicle it is.

Yeah conspiracy theories are potentially dangerous I don't blame you. Don't confront her head-on about them, but give her a reason to not be online. Suggest things to do together, family board game nights, watching a movie, or other physical activities. The less time she's sinking time to reading stuff online the less it'll have a chance to take hold.

>>4595
Yes! I want to be best friends with them.

>>4626
I personally don't hate gay men, but I don't see them as connected to what fujos like at all.

>>4646
Cute pic nonna.

>>4787
Don't know what that means and not sure I want to… Just enjoy your thing and don't mess up your life for a fetish.

I was on tumblr back then but will admit to being guilty of ignoring everything that wasn't fanart or fanfic. It's been fun to peek at the drama today though. Who are dubs even for these days?

>>4824
I have family and friends who otherwise aren't anime fans who won't watch shows with me without a dub. There are so many series I've seen both dubbed and subbed and it gives you a big appreciation for one's that aren't total garbage even if they still don't beat the original.
Personally I think as an optional way to watch a series it doesn't hurt for it to exist, especially for shows and movies aimed at a younger or family audiences. Who knows maybe someone will get into anime through dubs and then work their way to subs, everyone needs and acess point and when they're as bad as this sounds like it is you can at least thankfully ignore it or laugh about it knowing the original still exists.

>>4824
>Who are dubs even for these days?
There's a streamer I follow who claims that he had to watch the dub for Spy x family cause "The characters talk too fast." Probably an edge case but I'm never gonna forget that cause it's so baffling and hilarious to me. I also get the impression that some people would rather watch dubs cause they want to have anime on the side without paying too much attention to it.

this is a shot in the dark but what's the etiquette regarding translating doujin on your own and uploading it? i'm thinking about taking raws from mrm and translating them in my free time. do i need to get permission from the raw provider? is there some sort of initiation ritual where i need to pay my respects to the senior scanlators in the scene or something? kek sorry if it's a retarded question. it's just that scanlation groups seem so clique-y and i don't want to step on anyone's toes. i'll keep my translations private if posting them without permission is looked down upon.

>>4683
I think it couldn't hurt to ask the scanlation group for permission. That way if anyone ever tries to accuse you of stealing or some shit you'd at least have messages to prove otherwise.

>>4683
If raws are free on the web no need for permission. Also I'd rec picking something easy and get a pr

Trying to get some winter walking shoes that won't soak through when I walk on grass or rinse mud off. But you know how shoe companies think everyone has feet the length and width of a school ruler? Well they can go fuck themselves because I've got feet like an adelie penguin and none of these fit. Either I get slipping sliding clown shoes or 24/7 pain even when I take the shoes off, and my toes are already mangled from childhood.

Have shoe designers even seen real women's feet or can they not be trusted?

>>4401
You should get some made specifically for your feet. You would benefit from one good, expensive purchase. Your feet are worth it.

>>4403
Mass produced shoes are already a huge expense to me, that's why I'm trying to get them discounted. I usually end up using the same pair for a couple years, but I'm tempted next time I find a decent fit to buy a second pair of the exact same as backup. Never have in the past because the initial cost knocks me.

I like it to coom to but I hate when it is used as a plot device for drama or a character's tragic backstory. As soon as there are real consequences to it I am immediately turned off.

I'd say my favourite noncon trope is when the abused grows up to be an abuser himself, perpetuating the cycle. Harada's "Nii-chan" comes to mind.

>>4199
Thanks Nonna, Tougou was made for darkfics lol. He'd also a great example of what you were talking about with cycle of abuse and victim's perpetrating it. I adore art that shows adult Oso fucked up from the incident and dealing with that trauma be it sexual or physical.

Oh this is cute! Kinda wanted to colorize mine, but my MSpaint skillz are lacking.

I did co-workers. Bottom boy stays late to help his inexperienced crush get the paperwork done.
