Naruto Is Fucking Insane Bc As Someone Who's Never Actually Watched The Anime, I'll Have Just THE Gayest

Unpopular South Park Opinions

Recently binged South Park again after dropping off some time during the airing of season 19. 

I got back into South Park after years of kind of ignoring it after one of the airing of Naughty Ninjas because 14 year old me thought it was so unfunny and too political. However, I played fractured but whole this summer and I really wanted to rewatch the show again. 

Here are my thoughts and possible unpopular opinions:

Butter’s dad is honestly a character I want to see more of. His introduction episode had some good potential but it seems that the writers forgot about it. I think Butter’s dad being closeted has some really good material if they just focused on him more. When I decided to binge South Park again, the one episode I always remembered was Butter’s very own episode. It’s such a classic. 

Some of the most underrated episodes are Follow that egg, South Park is Gay and Cartman Sucks. Basically all the gay-themed episodes they do are fantastic. 

If you asked pre-season 19 me what I thought about South Park ships, I would have no idea what you were talking again. Shipping culture was always something I associated with anime and nothing else. When they send out that call for Tweek x Craig Yaoi on Facebook years ago, I was dumbfounded but also laughed so hard my sides hurt. I unironically loved the concept of the upcoming episode. I was thinking that South Park was gonna comment on anime and BL, but didn’t realize that Tweek x Craig was a real ship. Not just something they named randomly as a homage to Tweek vs Craig. I remember watching the episode when it first aired on TV but I couldn’t remember any of it afterwards. If anything, I completed forgot that Tweek and Craig were dating because when I played TFBW, I was once again dumbfounded by Craig’s dad side quest and of course, all of the mostly NSFW fanart.

On the topic of ships, as much as I find Kyle x Cartman really dumb, I welcome the idea that Cartman isn’t straight. Like at first, I brushed that theory off but thought about it more and of course, played TFBW (HAVE YOU SEEN HIS LITTLE DOODLES IN HIS JOURNAL??!! MY DUDE IS NOT STRAIGHT) I’ve come to accept the idea of it. I feel like the writers secretly agree but won’t commit because having Cartman be ambiguously gay/bi provides more writing material. One episode he can totally be straight and the next he isn’t. 

I hope they do something silly for Star Wars. (They won't.)

I hope we see the destiny trio team up. (They won't.)

There are wayyy too many middle aged white men on my xiaohongshu feed.

I’ve tried to block people and mark videos as uninterested but my feed will not go back to cute makeup tutorials 😭

I need to find a way to block TikTok refugee tag it’s super annoying.

I used xiaohongshu like Pinterest and now it’s just not that anymore.

I don’t really get how Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi are friends?

Lu Guang keeps things very business and treats Cheng Xiaoshi like his co worker (which they are). However, what makes these two men continue to hang out with each other outside of work? What do they have in common?

Other than the obvious obligation to their superpowers, they don’t seem to have chemistry with one another.

Lu Guang calls Qiao Ling big sister and seems close to her. Same with Cheng Xiaoshi.

Minor Plot Hole? - Danganronpa 2

How does Nagito know about the ancient ruins? He was not initially there when everyone gathered around it back in chapter 2 and they never brought it up until Chapter 5 when the remaining survivors were looking for the bombs. That point he had already hidden it there for a short bit. 

Rebirth Date Spoilers part 2

Oh my gosh I can’t believe I made a post complaining about both sides cherry picking lines to support their ship and now that comment section is filled with people from both sides cherry picking lines AAAAAAAAA

COMPLAINING ABOUT IT DOESN’T MAKE IT GO AWAY REGARDLESS BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM BOTH SIDES WILL REITERATE THAT THEY THINK THEIR OPINION IS CORRECT IN A POST WHERE IM COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM

I’m not on anyone’s side!!! I literally got so annoyed that I got Yuffie as my date because I had a feeling that something would happen during either Aerith or Tifa’s dates.

BOTH CLOTIS AND CLERITHS: There is a love triangle! Stop trying to deny it because it’s very annoying. People just want to enjoy the golden saucer dates and honestly the last three chapters of rebirth without people cherry picking lines.

This game is a giant analogy for renewable resources and late stage capitalism but all the discussion outside gameplay or the multiverse has been about ships!

People can’t enjoy random things like character dialogue, story beats and side quests unless it has to do something with the two main DOUBLE heroines and love interests.

*at the cost of sacrificing the plot, world building and pacing*

He covered everyone else’s face but Sasuke’s. This guy I SWEAR.

He’s not handling his absence well smh

Firstly so sorry for the graphic image. I found this on the Danganronpa reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA V3 SPOILERS.

I feel like this very crudely drawn image of Kokichi’s dead crushed up corpse is the last piece I needed to fully accept his death.

Not being able to see the state of the body during the investigation, created a barrier for me to fully understand Kokichi’s exit out of the main story. It just felt like he “left” rather than died.

Additionally, none of the characters saw the dead body and that definitely had an impact on their attitude towards him. His death was brushed off because they also never got to see his dead body. Maki didn’t investigate the body and such. There was no opportunity to be traumatized but ample to refuel their hatred towards him. Remember when Nagito’s body was found? The characters wouldn’t stop talking about the stab wound and the spear. The graphic depictions of Nagito stabbing himself added to the nightmare fuel situation. Like SOMEONE did that to his body vibe. In this trial, that wasn’t discussed in a manner that resembled 2-5. Not being able to see the graphic nature of a body being crushed flat means the characters can avoid it. Again, put yourself in the situation you felt when you initially saw Kokichi’s death. Seeing his crushed body would absolutely impact your experience because it’s like DANG, WHO DID THIS?! Did he really deserve a death like that? And so on.

This is why his absence during the class trial wasn’t discussed to its extent such as with other characters. Imagine seeing the body and then going to the trial where the exisal was talking in his voice. It would be SUPER weird. LIKE I SAW HIS CRUSHED BONES AND ORGANS OUT ON THAT PRESS AND NOW IM HEARING HIS VOICE? I know for some people, not seeing the body meant that maybe both Kaito and Kokichi were alive and that they used another body to substitute a killing. After Monokuma revealed that it wasn’t possible to do so, I don’t remember anyone who acknowledged the body afterwards due to how the trial was going.

I’m no Kokichi Stan but I did warm up to his character pre-chapter 4. I always felt that his death and trial were lackluster and lacked needed impact. Personally, I thought the trial wasn’t very good but seeing a depiction of the body has changed my opinion on the trial.

Kaito also never saw Kokichi afterwards because he never lifted the press after it crushed him. Kaito doesn’t really have to carry the weight of the plan and his actions, because he never gets to see the honest result of them. Therefore, he was able to focus on the plan to foul Monokuma and stick to the script that a dead boy wrote. Personally, my entire view on Kaito would drastically change more if we both saw the state of the body. Like learning that Kaito killed Kokichi in the most violent way possible. This is no stab to the neck or strangulation where a character might crack a joke (throwback to Ryoma, Miu and even Nagito). I remember thinking that their plan failed because the gang ended up figuring out their scheme and there is a viewpoint that Kokichi’s plan failed. If it did, he died for nothing and in the most violently unnecessarily way possible too.

Danganronpa V3 had many victims where the remaining cast had a short mourning period for (Rantaro, Ryoma and Miu). Each student had different circumstances where the cast couldn’t comment too much on their dead peers. Rantaro distanced himself from others, and no one was particular close to Ryoma or Miu.

However, Kokichi was one where almost no one mourned his death.

It’s interesting for sure. I think more people mourned the losses of the culprits more than the victims.

Anyways - I recommend reviewing 3-5 again and seeing this image somewhere during the investigation. I promise, my opinion on 3-5 drastically improved afterwards.
