KonoSuba, Lovecraftian Waifus, and British Insults... (random chat stream highlights) 

I feel like an ironically potent rebuttal on that would be to take DigiBro point him towards the first few episodes of Dragonball, note he's endorsed said series in the past, and declare that means he serious face endorses everything Goku does and start categorizing off thing like the pat-pat gag in the least charitable light possible. At which point clearly DigiBro and the zillions of other people who enjoy Dragonball needs to be buried under the jail.

@jebe4563 I don't know who DigiBro is. I'm mostly just talking about people who go, "Oh, you put something controversial or morally questionable in your story. That must mean you endorse those things. Like those people who claim that a depiction of a dark or heavy subject such as murder or sexual assault is a justification of those actions being done in real life. Hope that clarifies things.

@@unkn0wnart1st21Natalie mentioned talking with him related to that point being brought up. He was apparently a Brony who became a semi-important AniTuber circa 2013 that rose to prominence with commenting on Psycho-Pass, who then sunk back into irrelevance in years since. I honestly haven't really paid attention to them since somewhere around 2015.

I forgot about Maison.

ikr, it was for me as well when it sprang to mind during this stream. I didn't watch it when it first came out but it's still been at least 5 years. I kinda feel like watching it again, it was cute!

I am the chaos that crawls up to you with a smile!

The starred out word is 'bellend', it's a British insult that is discussed late on in the video!

@@NatalieXHunter Alright thanks for telling me. (I also noticed you talked about Vaush in the start of the video.)

Neither, just cute waifus based on Lovecraftian things...

R@@NatalieXHunter Not gonna lie, first thing that came to my mind when I heard ''Lovecraftian Waifus'' was Sucker for Love by Akabaka and Dread XP.

Let me also add one additional thing along those lines, although in a very different aspect. IMNSHO Assassination Classroom is a very solid series, with a surprising amount of depth. For example part of the premise of the series is that the students need to kill the Teacher to Save the World. At first glance a person would be forgiven for considering this an absurdly silly off the wall thing, but... If you watch the series, and have the ability to go deeper, you come to appreciate the writer is clearly very aware of and tying into a very important MetaNarrative with that. While intentionally played up for effect the underlying concept is simply true. In order for a child to grow into a mature and productive adult, they need a lot of care and assistance but that also comes with the recognition that ultimately also needs to fall away to leave them to stand on their own two feet. In turn while the self-aggrandizing perception of a teenager will tend to see Saving the World as involving these big crazy things, like Tolkien speaks to with his body of work a lot of the most important things people do are very simple, mundane, and small things. And so while "Kill the teacher to save the world" on its face is absurd, it's also simply true when you dig into it... And thus while the child doesn't kill their teacher in the literal sense the series plays up, the sentiment is simply true. In turn I don't think it was coincidence that the author has the main character having to deal with a parent who embodies the Pathological Mother, and while things are played up for effect none of that is executed in a heavy handed manner. It's executed so a person can just have fun with it, while their mind plays with those elements in the subconscious layer, just like a person can recognize the subtext and appreciate how its worked with. Which in turn speaks to why for a lot of people that ending hits hard. And that's one of the funny things about fiction especially. Work that is actually very meaningful, deep, and well executed when parsed out, on a shallow reading can at first appear to be none of those things.

Since it did get up in the talks. Yeh, said dinobot's main attack is a flamethrower so yes the original name fit.

Well, I do like Gen Urobuchi...

@@NatalieXHunter it’s his standard formula. Everything seems normal until episode 14. It also has a gay Japanese French pâtissier named Oren Pierre Alfonzo.

OF... as in the site where people sell the nudes etc lol. You can't say its name on YT (I guess to stop the OF girls promoting themselves all over here in an annoying and spammy way like they do on Twitter).

I really only play single player games. Even my best friends can't get me to game with them!

The first example that springs to mind is when Liz gives that speech to try to persuade all the gamers to help out in Alicization part two. Both the things she chooses to focus on and the way everyone reacts to it just feel contrived, rather than how actual gamers, especially young ones, would act. If you contrast how weird the way all of those real world characters act to how relatively well written the fantasy world characters like Alice and Eugeo are written, it shows that Reki is better at inventing characters that are consistent with a fantasy world he made up, than at writing regular people in a (close to) real world setting.

​@@NatalieXHunterInteresting. Does that mean Liz seemed more believable before they escaped the original game?

I haven't seen it...

Probably Rin (Dust’s party member.)

I think Eris would work, actually (Aqua's rival goddess).

It is genuinely hilarious.

@@NatalieXHunter agreed 💯👍😄 I wish they anime was completed like the manga was..but if I recall correctly the reason they stopped was the because the JP VA for miu was in a crash sadly she didn't make it and since she wasn't present anymore they didn't want to continue without her..which I fully respect and glad..but still it sucks it happened all together 🥺

I didn't know that. Miu was my favorite character, too :(

@@NatalieXHunterindeed I am still very sad 😢 I am firm believer miu was female character done correctly in balance between strength and maintaining her feminine traits Also I love her dedication and kindness towards kenichi even though he got a late start in his martial arts training 😄

Well, I meant doing it as my actual self was something I didn't want to do, I'm not sure anyone would pay to see lewds of a 3D model...

@@NatalieXHunterOh, you underestimate the internet Nat.

@@NatalieXHunter I mean, the model is already at your disposal and would function as a buffer between you and that. It's sort of a niche market, but as you're fairly popular and don't have a face reveal, there would be more appeal to it than otherwise. At this point though, I'm probably overanalyzing a joke made in passing, unless the financial issues are that severe. I've yet to catch up on backlog. That channel update was in the the Sweet baby vid or the Matt Walsh response?

The Matt Walsh one. But yeah, I suppose that's true, though I'd need new textures for my model because where I'm always fully clothed, I actually look like a Barbie doll naked - no nips or, er, anything else! Didn't seem necessary to use that kind of skin texture. But also, I have shown my face quite a few times on Twitter, I've just never done it on YT or Twitch, and probably won't until maybe a major milestone like 100k subs. I'm pretty camera shy.

@@NatalieXHunter Not necessarily. You could start off low budget for it and reinvest in new textures from there. Ah, that makes sense. I only follow on YT and catch VoDs occasionally. I'll check out the Matt video once I've finished this VoD in a couple of days.
