Toast's descent into discussing the issues facing [predominantly white] young men was interesting to watch! I think what he's saying isn't totally wrong in terms of perception, but in reality it's a little off. White men were never /not/ the focus, and I think there are decent white guys, even in this sphere to look at that! - The McElroys - Ludwig Ahgren - Arin and Dan from the Game Grumps - Brennen Lee Mulligan - Matt Mercer - Julien Solomita - Northernlion - Anthony Padilla - CDawgVA - Rhett and Link - Coffeezilla Like these are all dude's who haven't proven themselves to be complete jerks. Most (if not all) do what they can to help their communities, and others. If they mess up, they learn and do better in the future. Then on top of that, Toast mentioned having good male role models. He might not agree, but I'm sure some young men look up to him, along with Scarra and Peter. On top of the white men I've already mentioned, there are also guys like Jarvis Johnson, Ify Nwadiwe, and Eugene Lee Yang to be entertained by. I've given a lot of examples, but these are all just off the top of my head! If you're a young man reading this, I hope you've found the role models you need. And in a totally healthy way. Also: Haikyuu, I never noticed how "normal" most of the hair colours were before. Sure, Hinata and there are some characters with silver hair. But it is a lot of natural colours overall.
Nah, it's not interesting at all. He's ignoring the fact that the same systems we're tirelessly trying to dismantle and reform are the same efforts that have actually had a material impact in helping all categories of men - see the history of prison reform, the activism of feminist and anti-war movements during the Vietnam War, police demilitarization, legalizing same-sex marriage, promoting gender-affirming therapies, improving access to affordable healthcare, etc. Meanwhile, the men he's talking about tend to believe progress starts and ends with lifting weights and learning how to get sex; they don't need any more help. Instead, those people need to take a hard look in the mirror rather than expect society to coddle their own insecurities and psychological bad habits. The whole 'the left is failing men' rhetoric is just validating a victim complex that's built on blaming marginalized people for their own shortcomings. Leftist content aimed at addressing systemic issues that harm men exists abundantly, from Hasanabi to Gabor Mate. Toast is just yapping lmao.
Not sure when the next episode will be, but saw a headline on ESPN from 6/11 saying Japan beat US soccer in under 23’s pre-Olympic warmup game. Sounds like Blue Lock is really working in Japan lol
I love watching the old-school animes and all the 90s animes I grew up in the 90s so I can sit and watch it for hours on end with complete enjoyment just as much as a new style anime on DVD Blu-ray
I’m glad Peter was there to counter Toast’s point about the man vs bear thing 😅 think a lot of men like Toast project when someone brings up that topic & completely miss the point
Toast also heavily projecting on isekai. Majority of anime are power fantasies where the unreasonably talented main character that pretends to be an underdog is winning 99% of the time against stronger and stronger opponents. Scapegoating on isekai won't change that. Isekai is about touring, exploring, and living in the moment in a fantasy world rather than it being a background setting where a viewer has to accept that something like super powers are normal. He has some weird constructs to automatically jump to incel. But maybe I'm wrong because I've only seen SAO, not NTR. Maybe he didn't like that Kirito was able to save Asuna from that one scene. It all makes sense now.
when toast say its "different culture the west and the east" about stepsis/stepmom to the blood related, bro its just japan, im on SouthEast Asia also didnt want to see this fkin blood related thing.
I'm totally with toast in consuming pop culture media even if I dont like it. It's fun to have an informed opinion on things other people actually know about instead of all my useless League knowledge
AintNoWay same as toast but way younger, seeing oh my goddess when we got satalite tv in 2002 changed me forever. My 7 year old self had no idea "cartoons" could hit like that.
Man these guys hating on fairytail and black clover and 7 deadly sins hurt to hear, all are such amazing series, especially if you read the manga, also their knowledge on anime is so bad I couldn’t believe it
I side with Scarra and liking some of the Isekai/power fantasy series but more so because I just like the weak to strong aspect. It kind of feels like watching an RPG rather than playing it. The mythology and regional differences in how characters approach things are also a really cool part. Like a manga MC is very different than a manhwa and xianxia/wuxia are also very different. As a whole it can be pretty cringe and trope filled though. A lot of the time you just gotta ride on through those painful portions. 😅
As always i appreciate the bluntness, not shying away from talking about your likes and dislikes going head on. I'm not a subtle person i say what comes to mind or what i like so watching this where your all straight forward i really vibe with. Hope for more of that in the future..... i just had the tought of trying to talk porn with yvonne or hentai that would be funny as hell!
Even in Philippines people bullied anime watchers back then. I was and always will be a weeb. I just didn't show it publicly cause I knew I would be bullied. Although I didn't deny it when I was asked. Funny enough the bullies are now anime lovers. 😅 I can't remember my first anime. Probably dragonball, slam dunk, yu yu hakusho or flame of recca (forgot the japanese name). There's also shaman king, law of ueki, ippo makunochi and of course hunter x hunter (the first version). I just remember coming home from school to watch them on TV. No cable or satellite it's local and was dubbed in Tagalog/Filipino. 😅 Man, oh my goddess is a blast from the past. This was a great episode! Thanks to everyone and Toast! 💛 Come back to the philippines, jollibee is waiting. 😂
Listening to these guys makes me a bit sad hearing their childhood experience, and a bit happy for having grown up here in Orange County, Ca on the border or a rich and poor area, with all that diversity in my school. I was a white boy with a Korean best friend and perhaps it was my privilege but there was no one that could tell me I shouldn't be enjoying anime, manga, video games, or computer programming. I use every ounce of what small privilege I have to encourage younger generations to explore those arts and sciences.
What a banger of a podcast lol don’t know if you guys will see this but I am curious about your opinion on watching anime at a faster speed. Especially dragon ball super. Cause I had to watch that at 3x speed and it was hyped
The only good thing about growing up in the Philippines is that everyone, even my aunts and uncles, loved anime and so I never got bullied for that lol.
Loved the episode and Toast's backstory 😂. HOWEVER, I NEED TO POINT OUT - idk if its the lighting or editor's colour grading, why does this episode have the skin colour look a bit pale yellow like they have jaundice 😭
I just got a brain aneurysm from toast skipping s1-3. When you go to a michelin star restaurant you're gonna eat the full course and not just the main dish and dessert
manhwa suggestion - "The long way of the warrior" It's currently on hiatus after season 1 (188 chapters) MC is a gladiator in roman colosseum, the villain is an emperor. Both hero and villain are pretty cool, most of the supporting characters are well written. The MC has a clear goal and looking for ways to achieve it. Villain, in his own way, has a clear goal too. So if you didn`t read it already I`d recommend to check it.
@@patriiiiiii oh shit, that's a bummer. I read it on russian manga-reader-site and over there the first season is already translated, so I assumed that in english it's translated too because most (if not all) of the manga\manhwa that i read are faster translated to english than russian
coming from someone who has anime as dp but i draw it myself. isekai anime is enjoyable for me because its easy to digest. im tired of emotional point in "grown up" anime/manga. i dont want to just watch k drama to show im "grown up" "adult". i just enjoy things that is fun to read and i dont have to see heroine getting ntr or dead characters just to prove points. mushoku is overrated tbh it was mid
World trigger is a good battle Shonen. In terms of power system and realistic power limits that the main protagonist is just a regular guy who uses what he has to be able to win fights and develops through regular hardwork. Not in the realm of power fantasy of the MC but in the shoes of the average viewer.
I also have trouble remembering things, I watched this anime called Days years ago when it came out and I think it was this year or last year I started watching it thinking I never seen it and half way through I realized I had seen it. Iv also seen animes that I dont remember a single thing about Full Metal Panic is one I know for sure I have seen it but I cant remember a single thing except i think it has mechs
Also Scarra calling the knight in the manga he was reading who was in his late 30's or early 40's "SO old!" Scarra cannot be that far off from at least late 30s.
When I was 14 and I saw some people at my age do the naruto run, to me it was cringe. When I was 19, my friends and I were drunk walking home at 3 am from a party, someone started to do the naruto run, we all joined them and it is still one of the best memories I had in that time. Now with 30 I saw my 14 year old nephew do the naruto run and it just warmed my heart :D btw. before the naruto run there was also the little goku run (from the original dragon ball) that we did at the age of 8 :D
I don't think Scarra's read or watched Mushoku if he thinks it's a power fantasy. Also Toast's transition from talking about race to "I HATE BLACK... clover" was wild.
@@saintyoo The MC was basically given powers way beyond most characters in the show for a 1 minute training montage. The entire story's about how he exploits those powers for selfish gains and every once in a while becomes a slightly less creepy person. Even his main romantic interests fell for him after violent incidents including an attempted assault by the MC. Mushoku is the definition of power fantasy lol.
@@damiester1 all your explanation barely scratch the surface level of what it's about. You either read a wiki or just didn't pay attention at all while reading it the novel.
Toast is speaking facts. Black Clover and Fairytail ain't the look. Neither was, nor ever will be anything close to peak. However, I do appreciate Fairytail for providing some fan service. That's pretty much all it's good for.
god dammit scarra promised his stream chat not to talk about jjk and he still talk about it also talking about death game does toast like alice in wonderland?
