I don’t want reels. I want this to be a place for people who enjoy reading good writing.
I’ll take the thousand words, not the video that replaces them.
Ge’ez of the day:

"A rabbi bowed down, at midnight, to a rabbi, how could a finger be greater than another finger?"
A female fencer has refused to compete against a biological man in a tournament at the University of Maryland. She took the knee and laid down her sword. The judges disqualified her. She is a true champion.

Great discussions
Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.
As an anime fan, the pictures you chose are pretty interesting with the franchises they come from.
But yeah, the whole phenomena is very weird and kind of disturbing.
I am hesitant to say to the Internet, "tell me what I should know about these anime franchises to better contextualize these memes" — I can already see the lore-dumps in my mind's eye — but as someone quite out of those loops, if there are interesting observations to be made about the specific juxtapositions, I am all ears... :-)
Mostly, as I said over on Bluesky, it's because you featured some big franchises.
The only specific observation I'd make is Anya Forger (3rd image), who is a spy in a family of spies... and who I can easily see as mucking with something like the Demon Core. But as it's a pretty lightweight show she'd never come to any harm. <snips lore dump> :)
