Hi Please PLEASE Talk To Me Abt The Socioeconomic State Of Japan In Bnh Verse I Am SO Interested To Hear

Like Livestock: Endeavor’s Use of Language

I just wanted to share a post by a reddit user (u/sleepyfriend) about something that many people overlook as part of Endeavor’s earlier characterization because things get lost in translation into English:

In Endeavor’s conversation with All Might during the Sports Festival arc, the English translations had Endeavor refer to Shouto as “it” or “that” or whatever. Ever wonder how this was phrased in Japanese? ‘I will make that(“are” as opposed to “aitsu” or “anoko” you would expect for a child) into a hero that surpasses you. He’s an “offspring” I created for that purpose.’ The offspring bit is the part I want to focus. While the word usually used for a child is “ko(子)”, the one Endeavor uses here is “ko(仔)”. “Ko(仔)” is a word specifically reserved for animal offspring. It’s a blatant misuse of the word, clearly intended to tell us that this man views Shouto as a successful breeding project rather than a child. All Might would not have picked up on this though, since “ko(子)” and “ko(仔)” sounds exactly the same. Only the Japanese manga readers had the privilege of noticing this.

Between this and the way he refers to Shouto’s siblings, I want to point out that, not counting the post-Kamino manga, the Todoroki children have spent 15-22(or more??) years being regarded as mere tools for Enji’s ambition. He dehumanized them before they were even born. He refers to his ‘prized’ child in the same way a person would refer to their favorite milking cow. Just an ‘interesting’ fact about him that I think should be shared.

please god stop talking about diets and weight loss in front of kids. especially if those kids are girls. and especially if you’re someone those kids look up to. but really just stop talking about about diets and weight loss when children are in earshot at all. I promise you you’re doing far more harm than good.

I’m starting to sound like a nutcase at work because upper management keeps trying to implement AI programs and AI assistants and Chat GPT and my middle-of-the-road, don’t-infodump, don’t-engage response has been “I don’t like AI”, “I prefer to remain in control of my own tasks”, “I’d rather make my own mistakes”, and “I don’t trust any machine smarter than a toaster”

Fandom Problem #8125:

Not gonna lie I kind of hate how multishipping is often villainized in fandom.

Like say for example I want to ship two completely different ships. Only problem however is those two communities are in a ship war. So how do I fit in the fandom if shippers on both sides hate me for shipping both. And furthermore the lack of content for the specific polyship can also be disheartening as well. It seems like polyshippers are always excluded from fandoms and that frustrates me to know end. It would make shipping much less toxic. Plus nobody forcing you to ship it either we just a space where we have the ability to ship both without people being weird about it.

I swear if I told the Naruto Fandom that I shipped both Sasunaru and Naruhina I’d be executed on the spot.

well….. i guess you’re right anon

how many times do u think they watched the new sonic movie

Idea my suitemate @mysteriousdragon and I though of after last week’s ep. I can’t believe Baka-go would say that in front of someone who could send him into fricking space……….RIP sweaty explosion ass HAHAHAH 

Getting into bnha through fandom-blind fic reading has been such a wild ride like what do you mean kirishima and izuku arent friends in the series. Wait, why aren't they blowing up the stadium. What The Fuck do you mean they didn't even sink taiwan??????

Any time the League of Villains go through a drive thru they make Dabi hold all the bags to keep the food warm until they get back to the hideout.
