[QUOTE=Stealthbomber16;918280]It annoys me when someone asks me if I watch "anime". That's such a broad term. [/QUOTE]

I just say "no that shit is stupid"

[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;918328]I never watched anime because... idk, the culture around it doesn't appeal to me. But does that mean anime in itself is inferior to other forms of fiction? Absolutely not. There could be very serious and deep cartoons, and there probably are, actually, given the amount of anime around.[/QUOTE]

I've tried a few times. Tried Death Note. Tried Attack on Titan. Tried a few more obscure ones with Japanese names I can't remember. It's just so fucking cringe. I hate it.

[QUOTE=yzb25;918216]When millenials/zoomers get old and start entering power, all the things that entertained us will gain "prestige" and probably start being regarded as "intellectual" pasttimes. It's weird to imagine a future where people study video games at school and analyze their effects, or analyze the production process of an anime. Youtubers get more views than old media, which can't shun them forever. Youtubers will start getting awards and have documentaries about their work and shit. There will be youtubers who challenge the medium in unexpected ways and whatnot eventually.

Or maybe our generation truly is too degenerate to be recognised. I dunno, if Oprah can be "respected", I see no reason a youtuber can't. And if films can be "art", I see no reason video games or anime can't. I think there's already been art exhibits for video games, which used to be a very nerdy, niche pasttime.[/QUOTE]

Within the lexicon of the "educated artist" anything that was created to give someone an "aesthetic experience" is art. Having an "aesthetic experience" is feeling an emotion. Any critic worth their weight in dogshit has already recognized video games as art.

[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;918220]Nice one, and very true, too. The new "music masters", the Beethoven and Tchaïkovsky of our time, are in video games and movies. Hans Zimmer comes to mind as an example.

Mine: Religious people who are "altruist" solely because they fear God and want to "save their soul" don't realize they're not actually being altruist, so it technically doesn't work... I guess the point is that it ends up becoming real altruism after a while, though.[/QUOTE]

Perpendicularly related; I like to quote Matthew 6:5 at Christians who say shit like "GOD BLESS president DONALD J TRUM,P" on Facebook.

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

Spamming about your religion on Facebook is the new version of praying on street corners and in synagogues. It's a dog and pony show, just meant to build some "holier than thou" equity to use later when they're judging the fuck out of everyone for every little thing.
