Your media literacy sir
>>220046605Maybe she should’ve just gotten a real job?
>>220046605This tweet is like the Devil Wears Prada controversy.. no nigga, this is simply what Japanese people by in large look like
this is pure projection. The images he chose alone make it obvious.One comically ugly freak next to two pictures of the average jap dudes
don't care about psychology or any of that shitMacross Plus had pop idols and rape but imagine if you took the spaceships out, everyone would be sad. you CAN have things both ways sometimes.
>>220046605pseud drivel
>become an "Idol", i.e. a role placing you as a center of male-attention>males give you attention>"Noooooo, how could this happen!? Save me from 'the Male Gaze', feminism! I'm being objectified or something!"
>>220046605She chose to act in an erotic thriller with a graphic rape scene even after everyone, including her agent, told her not to. Hell, she pushed for it. The actor playing the rapist even apologized for what this would do to her career, and she was too stupid to comprehend it. Male gaze was the least of her worries at that point. Also, her stalker wasn't even a man.
>>220046605Fuckin retard missed the entire point of making the men look like that. It was to make the audience think they were creeps so they didn't see the real threat looming. Its a fake out and the dipshit kept falling for it even after the film was over. Media literacy indeed
There is something very deeply fucking tragic about people who are into female celebrities. It's like they don't have the part of their brain that reminds them what a scam is or reminds them what reality is.
>>220046605(You) are the antagonist of the film. (You) are just another voyeur. (You) are the stalker.
>>220046948for me, it's the documentary Beckii: Schoolgirl Superstar at 14 (2010).British girl, short-lived career as a foreign idol in Japan. all these Japanese promoters convinced her parents it's actually 'Japanese culture' that middle-aged businessmen were taking an interest in their 14-year-old daughter. nothing 'strange' about it, that's a Western idea!she's spoken about it since, and yeah: fuck these people.
>>220047151It is Japanese culture thoughbeit
>>220046605>makes all the men uglyUh...I think that's just what the average Japanese man looks like.What a mean tweet.
Stalking seems genuinely fun I wish I could get into it.
>>220047202true, but not in the sense that it's a 'difference of culture' INSTEAD of being something sordid.it very obviously is what it is.
Is he implying the psycho that cosplayed as the MC was a tranny?
>>220047234just do this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJJV4TwyP6g
Women suffer so much. Maybe they should stop dressing up or act like whores
>>220047444ah yes they suffer less here
>>220047649No male gaze there
>>220046605I'm genuinely a bit bummed that ''media literacy'' has become an absolute meme, because at its foundation it's super interesting stuff. Literary criticism and hermeneutics and all the Marshall McLuhan shit is super rad, but it's all devolved into this half-baked twitter nonsense on one hand, and a punchline on the other. Harun Farocki is a cool filmmaker that worked a ton in the field, check him if you're curious.
>>220047771Nah it’s gay.
>>220047793nah you are
>>220047689I think there is a issue with excess of males who are gay what with high gay porn consumption in those countries, and dont get me started with the Bacha Bazi shit that is endemic in their religious schools.
>>220047931the bacha bazi stuff mainly happened in areas past the persian gulf, as well as in ottoman turkey, but it's not much of a staple of the rest of the islamic countries. gay shit happens there but under different contexts.
>>220047793when we read Of Mice and Men, my English teacher mispronounced 'Soledad' and told us all that Steinbeck had come up with the name because George is like the 'sole dad' to Lennie.
>>220046605and they are all innocent, yes even memania
>>220046605>become a whore>everyone treates you like a whoreBeing a woman is so hard :(
that's true, though, just oddly worded/translated.in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, there are eyes in the trees because Snow White is seeing scary shit.in fact plenty of cartoons do the same trick. or do a bait-and-switch where it's someone beautiful at first, but then 'reality' sets in (e.g. the character sobers up) and nah it's a whore with a moustache and saggy tits.
>>220047793yup the shell in lord of the flies is just a dumb shell anyone that think it represents anything other than the corpse of an aquatic creature is a pseud that probably managed to finish highschool
>>220047151That's a girl? Looking at the father I thought it was a dude.
>>220046605I truly despised this movie. If anything it made me pity the ugly men since several are killed that did nothing wrong.>but um that isn't what actually happened it's the movie tricking youResorting to pretentious garbage like unreliable narrator and trying to break the 4th wall to sell the movie as some art house because you failed to get the point of male gaze bad across. I am glad japans reputation has been obliterated by auto translate.
>>220047134An unfortunate percentage of the masses cannot comprehend that the people in power are lying to them in any way
>>220047649Actually yes, 1/10 of them aren't prostituting themselves on onlyfans.
>>220047793I remember hearing about someone who actually got a hold of the author for a book report, the teacher didn't accept the authors explanation.
>>220047931>Bacha BaziOh yeah, that thing that the muslims were putting people to death over that American soldiers protected with their lives.
>>220047793I took a creative writing class in college and wrote a 10 page short story where basically every line was 2deep4u symbolism of a bigger theme and to this day every person I’ve ever made read it has failed to notice any of it. It is maddening to the degree I simply can’t imagine a professional author doing it on purpose
Japs are terrible when it comes to storytelling, anime is hard carried by the visual side of it, or rather was since all of the modern shit doesn't even look good at this point
>>220049040>it's the movie tricking you>unreliable narratorthere is no such thing, the movie is painfully clear about all the events, you are brown>auto translatethat's confirmation that you are brownkill yourself and retuen to twitter
>>220049428I remember reaching a point where I noticed that the animation rarely has any actual animation. Every scene is a still with the bare minimum movements trying to fake it with the camera panning around. I can't imagine what it's like for a fluent japanese speaker, they don't have subtitles to distract them from realizing they're watching a fancy powerpoint presentation.
>>220046605that's just the way asian men look though.either extremely ugly or 1990s lipstick lesbianthere is no inbetween for asian men.
>>220049428There are so many shows which are effectively neutered and made pointless, just for a single "gotcha!" "subverting the expectations". Sure you can write it like that, it doesn't mean you should; it doesn't make story better or richer. It just makes everyone pissed off. On top of my head, Danganronpa 3, where the writer sniffed his farts too much, portraying the audience (you) as guilty of being excited for a new Danganronpa game. He thinks you should feel wrong about him being forced to write another script to series, because the series is done already or something... Nigger, please. Between Ace Attorney and Danganronpa, there's only few of these kind of games, I really like the genre. Of course I want to check out newest Danganronpa, you fucking nigger. Don't shit your pants for having a job, just do the job, I am paying customer, don't insult me nigger for liking genre, games! Jesus what a twat. Especially considering how next "unrelated" nonDangan game looks like a fucking Danganronpa game anyway, you have the freedom to do something else and you STILL default to that. Geez, what a nigger.
>>220050187I like when they make a story about the main protagonist having superpowers and the series ends with him losing them and becoming a salaryman, good writing
>>220050629I appreciate they are bold enough to explore new ideas, freedom of creativity and all that. The premise might seem slightly interesting but cheap, someone else would dismiss it as not worth the effort. They can make whole manga, anime out of it.
abloo abloo poor old idol. get a real job
>>220046806What is the mecha anime where the blonde captain dude says "War, I love it! Death. Destruction. And easy money!"
>woman take on a role of a public whore/parasocial celebrity>oh no why are men falling for me teehee this is horribleegirls want to have their cake and eat it lmao
>>220047151there's nothing wrong with taking a sexual interest in a young girl's career thoughi knew emma watson was going to be super hot ever since the chair picture
>>220047151That seem to be an universal thing, see Holywood. It is weird the japs are so candid about it.
>>220049198But that didn't happen and it was often literally the opposite of that?...
>>220054053Is that how you cope with the fact that your military protected (and continues to protect) pedophiles?
>>220046605I feel this deeply. I want to see my favorite kpop idols live, but I don't want to disappoint them with how ugly I am, so I support them from home.
>>220054917How can I "cope" with something that you made-up?Get fucking drone-striked, brownoid goat-fucker.
>>220055052>y-y-y-y-you made it up!!It's a widely known fact, not my fault your country has a lower literacy rate than Kenya.
>>220055203>It was real inside my mind.That doesn't make it ACTUALLY real, Abdul. We've been over this.
>>220046605Poor lil millionaire star
>>220047649>n-no whoring??? aiieeee save me hillary sama
>>220055587No, Pablo, what makes it real is it happening.Why are Americans so proud that they don't know anything? Fuck off to /ptg/ with the rest of the delusional retards.
>>220047793>New York exhibit spokeslady:>"His art is an allegory and a message to the discrimination the lgbt have to endure everyday.">Tom of Finland interview in Finland:>"I was horny so I drew some porn."
>>220055781>brownoid meltdownLmao, look at him REEEEE and impotently stomp his feet in anger at America and at reality.It'd be cute of they weren't all adults, on top of all being nasty, hairy monkey-like feeaks.
>>220055843>if you call me out for being wrong then you're having a meltdown
>>220051722>i knew emma watson was going to be super hot ever since the chair pictureWhere is it?
>>220046605>that she is subjected to everyday.So stop being an idol, go work in a warehouse with working jackets so thick nobody can see anything. The fuck is this victimization of idols, singers and dancers that their fans are evil for looking at them?
>>220054053the taliban are opposed to it and the US allowed it to happen under their installed government and even on their own bases, it was well documented by US journalists. dont get me wrong, i'm sure the taliban are mostly turning a blind eye to it seeing as it's existed in these cultures since before mohamed and he himself fucked little boys(and his 9 year old wife). read the wiki page for it, its truly fucked up
>>220055775a chick didn't want to wear a head covering so she took it off and they raped her and beat her to deathmuch freedom
>>220056034Based, whoring should have devastating consequences.
>>220055965i work in a warehouse and i can confirm i 100% ogle all the cute polish girls as much as i can
>>220046605you deserve it bud
>>220047202Japan doesn't have culture.Japanese culture is ripping off culture from everyone else and doing it strangely.
>>220046605No that's just Kon's artstyle, he famously despised idealized appearances and escapism. What a fucking larping retard that poster is.
>>220055833Carmela was right
>>220051585I think you're thinking of Orguss 02, I recall this guy saying something like that. It's a good anime.
>>220056745Thats a better description of Korea. Japan’s love of suicide is pretty original
>>220056265shut up brownie
>>220046682fippy bippy much?
>>220057167meadow and carmela are worse than janice
>>220046605>ugly = bad>if they were good looking she'd like the attentionamazing
>>220049150Then everyone clapped.
>>220058693No, they failed the assignment. No one clapped.
>>220046756>This tweet is like the Devil Wears Prada controversy..??? wtf happened now
>>220046605it's a commentary on how all kpop and jpop fans are hideous
>>220048096>>220049198The Taliban severely punished that shit and was one of the first things that they banned. The Northern Alliance, and Afghan Army "allies" were the ones into that weirdo boy sex.
>>220058767yeah the taliban like 13 year old girls instead
>>220058781No you're thinking about American politicians.
>>220046605"intellectuals" sniffing their own farts and jerking off their micropenis again when in reality its just the typical anime logic of ugly=bad
>>220058781Probably, but they did not do bacha bazi was my point Mordechai.
I’m so glad the western women don’t have to look perfect anymore.
>>220047771Media literacy is a term used by those who are media illiterate. They think media is all these deep metaphors and meaning and you need to ''get'' it but they don't get it at all. If you are actually media literate you can look at a work and see where the author is just making things up, what is written to be fake ''deep,'' where corners were cut, where the author was just stealing.These people don't actually have a concept of how media is made. They've never made anything themselves. When you actually make stuff yourself you realize it's not thing magic where you put deep meaning in every word. Every writer is a fraud who barely manages to write something passable with smoke and mirrors.The media illiterate freaks will argue for decades about certain events of a TV show, trying to ''get'' it when a media literate person can just look at it and see that what happened in the show was because of scheduling issues, maybe a writer's strike, maybe some actor demanded too much money and got fired so he had to be killed off. That's true media literacy. If you understand media all the magic is stripped away and you see how messy it is.The go-to example of the blue curtains can differ from story to story. If you are media literate you have to realize when the curtains are just blue and when the author is trying to pull something pretentious, in many cases the curtains are hinting at depression or some shit, but it's because the writer read bad theory that told them this was a cool thing to write. The addition of the ''deeper'' meaning doesn't improve the work, it makes it cringe and cliche as the writer is pretending to be some deep thinker by copying other people's cringe ideas.
>>220046605everyone in perfect blue looks ugly unless their job is being attractive though
>>220047793>t. never even glanced at a writing tutorialUnless you're paid per word or incompetent, you don't mention things that don't matter. It's basic pacing.
>>220046995I'm pretty sure Mina's acting career wouldn't be a struggle if she didn't have a crazy agent trying to project herself and her failed idol career into her client. Her agent was jealous of her incoming success and wanted her to stay an idol that does shitty shows on shopping centers rooftops, after the live sentai show.
>>220046605>All the males are portrayed in a realistic ugly manner. I say this as a Spanish guy. I don't understand Asians. Do they not understand they insult themselves with nonsense like this? Why does "ugly mode" in anime just look like normal Asian dudes? Asians have some serious mental self-image problems. It's like they are ashamed of how they look. It's so weird. All media is about avoiding drawing how they look (anime art style), or making fun of how they look.
>>220046605b-buts thats how japs actually look like...
>>220059014t. ranny freak, mental midgetDescribing a scene is the most basic thing you do in storytelling. It doesn't matter what is happening, the surroundings are going to be described so you can picture what is happening. On top of that newer writers are thinking more visually as they watch movies and they picture the scene in their mind, often hoping for a movie adaptation so they have a certain aesthetic they want to see with the blue curtains. In the majority of cases the curtains were described as blue because the curtains are blue. In cases where it is supposed to mean something the writer is a hack who read the wrong theory and their writing was sabotaged by midwits.
>>220046605why do nips hate how they look so much?
>>220059177couldn't guess, anon
>>220059078In their mind they have an idealized version of how they look.
>>220059213>In their mind they have an idealized version of how they look.Why? What's the origin of this? I don't even get it. Asians nitpick the tiniest things about themselves. Especially their obsession with eyes. As a Spanish dude I accept that my skin in tan and not white. And my hair is dark brown. I don't give it much thought. But then I see memes like pic related. Why can't they just be happy with the bodies they were given? All this talk about how to draw them, their obsession with plastic surgery, and their demand that no one mention their eyes. It's so odd.
>>220046605These are the people who think Internet Troon Show #4815162342 (the one with the clown in it) is going to change the world of media, by the way.
>>220059307Seems to happen in cultures that were traditionally very hierarchical and regimented. (whether true or not) They perceive that white people are on the top of the pile, and they covet that status. Indians are exactly the same. Skin whitening procedures are a huge thing over there.
>>220059078>anime art styleJin-roh is the only anime i can think of that avoids this
>>220059307>accept that my skin in tan and not white.Go live in finland or sweden and your skin will look normalIts just the extra sun>t.albanoid living in sweden
>>220059434most of satoshi kon stuff is like this
>>220049301I am a professional author and there is first the hard truth, which is that 99% of people will never actually Get It, but also the salve: you can communicate with their unconsciousness and force them to adopt an understanding of it. They will never be able to explicitly spell things out, though, that only happens in high school English.
>>220056304>one dutch guy in the warehouse when everyone else is polish or romanian kek
>>220059434>Jin-roh is the only anime i can think of that avoids thisThanks for the suggestion. I will check it out. Realist directors are great . I just watched a few episodes of the lookism anime and it was so annoying with how they portrayed beauty vs ugly. I dropped it. There is something wrong with these Asian anime creators.
>>220046605“Realistically ugly manner”Jej
>>220059503That's the point of creative writing, Englash class warps your understand of media where you get these mentalists going around thinking art is all a puzzle to be solved. Poetry is hit the worst because most people's first experience with it is having a teacher try and get you to pull it apart for meaning instead of first appreciating it. Meaning to me is like lyrics in music, you have to like how the music sounds first before you'll ever give a shit about what the singer's saying.
>>220059542properly heinous yeah
>>220059542nta but Jin-Roh is fucking fantastic. stands up as a piece a film in its own right not just an “anime film/OVA” and the “realistic” animation certainly helps that.
>>220059542Aku no hana's anime has some experimental "realistic" style, it looks a bit better in motion but it grew on me. The manga was great
>>220059542This is so weird. Weight aside, they don't even look like they belong to the same species. Right looks like an alien
>>220046605Do some people think ugly men should be locked away and forbidden to have contact with others or something?
>>220059732The manga is overrated and boring. The anime elevated the work and made it beautiful with some of the best sound in anime. Then anime troons had a meltdown and the anime failed because the girls looked Japanese and not like loli fucktoys.This is why anime can fuck off and weebs don't deserve anything good.
>>220059765That's just a korean without plastic surgery vs a korean with plastic surgery.But really, ugly and attractive people exist in all cultures. Henry Cavil is British, so are the Norf men
>>220059816No, it's because the rotoscoping was garbage and characters lost their features randomly.
>>220059818No. Left has a nose. Right has no nose. Just 2 dots
>>220059884Right has more side-nose than left does.
>>220059816>overratedYea I don't partake in any manga or anime communities so I make my own opinions
>>220059307Maybe back then, some of them did look better but they got ugly in time.
>>220047151britain is an accursed place, she looks so bad at 14 already
>>220047771Blame Xitterfags. They turned it into another culture war tool. I don't know if phrase is chud or tranny even anymore
>>220059606That is the correct way to experience art.
>>220047202It sure is.
>>220047771>>220059982>I'm genuinely a bit bummed that ''media literacy'' has become an absolute memeIt comes across like all media literacy these days boils down to just finger pointing accusatory tactics for whatever internet enemy a person has. The equivalent of posting someone as a soijak. Then always the peabrains are driven by guilt and shame to accept the premise.
>>220049428Japanese anime writing is always overly saccharine garbage or it's the most laughably melodramatic misery porn. The supposed peak of their writing is on par with Fred Durst's The Fanatic.
>>220061248>Japanese anime writing is always overly saccharine garbage or it's the most laughably melodramatic misery pornWhere does "Your Name" fit in that dichotomy?
>>220060032There was some shounen/seinen action manga I read the first chapter of like a decade ago where the MC was explicitly obsessed with the concept of “14 year old girls”. Been trying to find it forever, can’t remember the name. P sure it was by a hentai artist popular around the time (I remember seeing the art style and noticing)
>>220059307You can't even see her eyes in real life
>>220046605Go back to /a/
literally all gaijins can do these days is being a goy cattle and pathetically complaining about japan
>>220055833>>220047793This just means I'm consuming the ramblings of a degenerate with nothing interesting to say, which means I'm wasting my timeEvery piece of art should have a real intent to bring, when it doesn't then it's just slop for the lowest of cattle, which is fine btw but it's slop
>>220059078All east asians are like that, remember that chinese girl who was getting destroyed by the chinese nationals for having really slanty eyes?This is just what being a goofy looking race of people does to you, instead of embracing it they just delude themselves

(whether true or not) They perceive that white people are on the top of the pile, and they covet that status. Indians are exactly the same. Skin whitening procedures are a huge thing over there.I get what you are saying but why aren't middle eastern kingdoms affected? They have olive skin and don't obsess over whiteness. >>220059213>In their mind they have an idealized version of how they look.Asians seem to have the biggest gap between how their perceived themselves vs how they actually are.

>>220059954The japanese are really into big nosed westerners, for some reason.
It was literally ape
>>220046756>>220046605>he's evil because he's ugly
>>220058693Maybe is like what happened with Ray Bradburyhttps://www.laweekly.com/ray-bradbury-fahrenheit-451-misinterpreted/>He bristles when others tell him what his stories mean, and once walked out of a class at UCLA where students insisted his book was about government censorship. He’s now bucking the widespread conventional wisdom with a video clip on his Web site (https://www.raybradbury.com/at_home_clips.html), titled “Bradbury on censorship/television.”
The no-females-gaze is as painful as the male gaze
>>220059606>you have to like how the music sounds first before you'll ever give a shit about what the singer's saying.Yeah, tell that to 9/10 of my literature teachers.
>>220061946Indistinguishable in every way from the doujin hentai they write
>>220059606Then there's the line of thinking that just because the writer is saying something that you simply must agree with every single word they're saying, like the extreme absolutist opposite of death of the author. Yes you should be aware of the author's viewpoints but to act like that is just brainless in a different way.
>>220060000>That is the correct way to experience art.Quads of truth
>>220047793There's meaning attached to color, it's basically art direction, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to it unless the director goes out of his way to provide some form of pattern in relation to the character or a central theme that keeps coming back.
Look Back was excellent, I recommend it.
>>220046605Wota are always portrayed like that, of course that person probably never heard the term or understands it's simply a surface-level stereotype while trying to flex their acumen on Twitter.
>>220061754>I get what you are saying but why aren't middle eastern kingdoms affected?Their religion already places them at the top of the hierarchy. They can also pass for white so they don't have the same need to cope psychologically to begin with.
>>220046995She has more than one stalker and Quasimodo is one of them.

>>220046605That's retarded. It would just make me feel more sorry for them.
>>220064664But not in this case
>>220059078Yeah very true. Chinese filter themselves, Koreans surgery themselves.
>>220062059ye
>>220064092>Their religion already places them at the top of the hierarchy. wow that's a good point I never considered. Most Asian countries aren't seriously religious. So they don't have a unifying force for their souls.Japan is not very serious.China banned a lot of religions in areas of their country. They don't want anything to compete with the government in terms of importance.I'm sure other Asian countries aren't that religious.Meanwhile other countries had Christianity, Catholicism, and Middle Eastern religions.
