How bad is your attention span? I'm currently typing this as i watch a youtube video at the same time on a split screen. I'm beyond help at this point (╹◡╹)

Is it just me or does it feel like wsj isn't as good as it used to be. I tried reading the newer release like yozakura, elusive samurai, witch watch, etc. But it just doesn't hit the same anymore. I remember liking gintama, haikyuu, knb, bnha (pre internship arc), hunter2, assclass, etc. But i barely recognize any new title from them now. What the hell happened to them

another yearly AO3 discourse where people complained how the top ships in AO3 are mostly compromised of m/m ships by.... shaming the writers who are mostly women themselves? i swear to god these type of complaints in itself is just internalized misogyny. reminds me of that one post "stanning men is so mysogynistic but what else do we expect from stupid fucking women". do they not realize some women read m/m because they can't bring themselves to watch or read about women being "fetishized" or "sexualized" for various reasons could be because of trauma or strict religious households that upholds "purity" and "innocence" of women.

So out of curiosity, i was checking this website's analytics and found out the gender distribution was 53% male and 46% female. It could be innaccuracy from the website i'm using (similarweb). though if it were true, i don't mind, but it was pretty unexpected since i was assuming there would mostly be fujoshis here by a landslide. So now just checking out of curiosity, what gender are you, if you don't mind me asking? I know a similar question was asked before but i figured there's a lot of newcomers now like myself so a new question could make it easier to see about the current people using this site. I myself am a girl and pretty much your typical fujo.

Just watched it. Bretty good (=・ω・=)

Do you believe in the dead internet theory? So, recently there's a comment on a subreddit called r/nostupidquestions calling out how the posts on the front page was a repost from 4 years ago. The posts, comments, everything are all the exact same. They check the accounts and it was accounts that's created only a few days ago since the posts. Not only reddit though, you can see this stuff happening on other sites/apps too, for example all the samey/bot posts you see on popular youtube videos, especially music videos, or people on twitter sometimes saying the exact same thing or posts on twitter suddenly gaining tens to hundreds of views just seconds after posting, etc. All of this ties down to a theory called "the dead internet theory" that asserts that the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity (wikipedia). Especially now with the advancement of ai, they could just deploy bots that can mimic human replies almost flawlessly. So, think about it, whenever you make a comment or posts somewhere, there's a chance you could be replying or seeing replies from absolutely nobody but just a string of algorithms. You're in an empty space just talking to curated responses. Isn't that creepy? But the big question is, if the theory was true then....where did everybody go? Surely, i'm not the only one using the internet....right?

wanna see what people are into these days. what's your current fixation? series, ships, characters, etc. for me i've been thinking of getting into the interview with the vampire rabbit hole.

feel old yet?
