Good news... VISA and Mastercard are getting flooded with calls and emails after their censorship brigade on Steam and Itch io. Payment Processers have anger...
Was it you before who I asked? My bad. I thought I checked and it was someone else . . . Alright, I looked it up, and it was CrawlMarks who I was thinking of who did that. I think it was because they had a version of “Marx” in the name while downplaying abhorrent SV in an anime that I guess they personally like or something, which made it easy to mix the two up. Still my bad at this point for not remembering or adequately investigating beforehand, to be clear.
I think that I’m just engaging in wishful thinking to the point of a severe cognitive bias that someone who does these sorts of things is going to be a “That Person” rather than like three or four people on this tiny website that mostly isn’t even about anime.
Do you have no further commentary regarding Fire Force?
I heard great things about s3 and started it back up just to be smacked in the face with fan service. I’m 35 with kids. Fan service is for teenagers and it doesn’t do anything for me nowadays. I remember some truly ridiculous fan service growing up, so the baseline for what’s “shocking” nowadays is shit like “Please Put Them On, Takamine-san”; that was concerning, lol.
As an artist myself, I don’t want art to be expunged from mature content because art is a reflection of life. It is also a way to question (or promote) the status quo. I think with kids getting exposed to this type of content is a cover for not having to speak to them about consent, sex, or queerness or anything else.
I have no interest in talking about “mature content” in general, and I wasn’t merely talking about “fan service.” I have, from the first comment, been talking about the normalization and eroticization of SV.
I do think it’s really disappointing in the case of Fire Force because they’ve got some really lovely animation otherwise (though even by S2 I thought it was getting a little formulaic with the flashing impact frames and such).
