Meh. I never like when they cancel something I bothered to watch even if it's only a big meh.

It's still a story I took mild interest in and would see it through.

Oh that's 100% true. By the time they finally get it out, no ones going to give a ***lol

It's a serious problem. It needs to be addressed. You cannot keep taking 2+ years to make 10 measly episodes. (or less) and expect to keep making that show.

That's why nothing makes it past 5 seasons. They take 10 years to do it. (and 3 billion dollars...)

You make a bunch of money on season one, and then you take 2 years, double the budget and lose your *** because no one remembers what happened that long ago.

It was alright, finale was a let down though.

Seems like simply commenting "Nice OF ad" on a scantily clad thirsty "cosplay" post, of someone with a bio full of OF links, is enough to get you banned these days.

I said it was nice. Simps are so touchy.

LOL I got banned on r/marvel for saying "where dat *** at doe" to an obvious thrist trap "cosplay" ad in disguise.

Your face always looks the same. You put effort into the front; a real artist makes the the whole canvas look good not just the side facing the camera in selfies.

Simps be simpin

Lately Ive been watching dev video reacts.

One of those reacts were about a young developer (in his twenties), that called himself as a "senior dev", and that gave up his job for a foreign oportunity as a junior/trainee.

He said it was a job he was really looking forward, and was receiving 18k Brazil coin, what is a darn good salary for a trainee.

But the react was about one of his videos where he... quitted that long wanted job!

Reason: you can pretty much guess the reason just seeing someone so young: the work wasnt what I was expecting, I want to work something for myself, I want independence, autonomy, etc.

Just your average zoomer thing: create some fantasy about work, build such stupid imaginary expectation, just to be disappointed in the end.

If you work for someone else, you do only for the job, for the money. If you want to have autonomy, you cant work as employee. If you have the money, go for it. If you need noney, just suck it and work.

But this lawt recommendatokn was another video of him. Title: regret.

Ok, nothing new from such stupid generation of workers

They used to be a bunch of nerds with beards down to their bellies, buying comics and plastic collectables. Then the women started showing up in "cosplay" bikinis with their *** flapping around. Then normal guys noticed this and started going to get with the girls with their *** flapping around.

Now it's just a soft core strip show with a bunch of women and men who are there for the soft core sex content (and to hook up), who are lapring as nerds.

What's funny is that Blizzcon shamed the developers cause so many women were going there dressed as sloots, and they thought the game and outfits were the reason. So they started toning down the ingame outfits, thinking it would make the women not act that way. They didn't seem to understand that's why they go there in the first place, and still dressed the same anyway.

There's also the rare but not quite unicorn hyper.. thirsty actual female that goes to cons to dress up in cosplay that would get you arrested for indecent exposure anywhere else.

No judgment, get that bag.

Men has been cosplaying as female characters in anime conventions since 25-30 years ago, the reverse applies to women cosplaying as male characters. It's all part of otaku culture. People just cosplay their favorite characters, even if the characters that they cosplay as has opposite sex, and no one will be judged in anime cosplay community for cosplaying as different sex.

At least in my 25+ years of being in otaku community I've never seen people cosplaying as characters with different sex being mocked at in the community. (People only mocked at bad cosplays like Panta's picture, not sex swapping.)

The only one that will judge are normies. Go away normies! According to Rady gatekeeping our hobby to outsiders is a good thing so I am doing exactly that!

Those are cosplay tourists, people who think it is a good way to funnel people into their web so they can extract money from them. (not that it doesn't work)

It is sad that they are the most visible section of the community, but also just not surprising right? just like AI slop art people are too lazy to take the time to actually look at the quality work, they just want to see some T&A.

Cosplay I Have Done:
  • Evergreen from Fairy Tail

  • Aries from Fairy Tail

  • Sinon from SAO

  • Yarizui from Bento

  • Juuzou from Tokyo Ghoul

  • Red Blood Cell from Cells At Work

Before anime cons and comic cons there were sci-fi cons.

And 40 - 50 years ago having a prize for most naked lady was fairly common. (Unwelcome visions of chubby teenagers in nothing but gauze and cellulite come to mind.)

And yes, there were actual females at sci-fi cons way back then although somewhat outnumbered.

It wouldn't mater so much if they bathed.

It depends on how you define autonomy, and the job itself.

There are jobs that does have autonomy. But you need to "get there" first.

Aka, understanding what the company really needs, how the inner workings of market works. And what things you can do to truly increase the competitivness in this field.

A junior employee normally wouldn't have this level of skill because they lack experiences. And those who do would start their own business and become the next Zuckerberg anyways. For 90% of people it takes time to build a comprehensive well-rounded skill set to to have that kind of contribution.

I would hire someone and give them all the autonomy in the world if they can increase even 10% more profit in the industry than all other competitors. If they can then they can do anything they want.

I think anime conventions simply just separate to different ones based on target audiences and themes.

Like, there are male oriented conventions and female oriented ones. And gender ratio will be very different for each.

Back in 1960 maybe American comic was mostly a male thing but today there are large amount of female otaku too, they just read different manga genre that's all. Eventually there are conventions for female genres and that kind of conventions will be mainly female.

Thatbis the point in the end.

I personally dont think anyone in their early/mid twenties has enough experience to precisely define the terms of autonomy or work.

They feel like they will join a company, people gonna throw the red carpet, ask them for enlightment, and they will become the big dog architect/engineer in the company.

When in reality, you gonna join a team maintaining/developing some legacy code or with some technology you dont even know. You gonna have to manager outsource employees, participate in dailies/plannibg, have to justify bosses why the bug appeared, ehy it is taking so long for it to get fixed. You gonna need to spend weeks figuring the make up CICD they implemented, gonna need to work in a workstation you cant do ***, gonna have to work in uninsightful tasks like figuring how to use the right authetication, how to add tests and security to the code you arent even aware.

Many videos in internet arent shy to promote "new" technologies, but end up with the same old java/javascript, while everyone keeps badmouthing those, so you end up like that guy who did all those cool Rust, Golang courses, but need to develop to spring bot or fastapi.

Then you feel like you dont have autonomy, that you are wasting time with those "legacy" technologies.

I do agree and feel the same.

But I had enough bagagge to understand you work for the others so makes no sense starting a job but leaving soon after by the excuse of being frustrated, that it was not the right thing to you

I am not in IT but I feel many companies stuck with legacy stuff because it's very costly to just change if that's how the corporate machine operates for a long time

But those cost won't be seen unless people has really deep understanding of the company operation.

It happens more often in bigger, older companies.

IMO those in their 20-30s with an ambition should join small start-up for an environment with more work autonomy. If they are actually as talented as they believed they are, their start-up may be successful and they will make millions.

If they can't make a start-up successful then their ability(or luck) isn't quite there then. Then they should accept they are not the next Zuckerberg, but an average Joe that needs more time.
