Sure, like I said they are technically in the wrong. But practically does it matter? It is historical software, and despite the fact that no one bothered noticing these violations for several decades now they start a witch-hunt over its dead corpse. What do they expect to gain out of that, extracting a settlement from a dead company?

The only practical effect of their actions is that now no company is going to bother open sourcing stuff that might have skeletons in the closet, no matter how historical or important it might be. It perfectly embodies the smug lawyer fine-print attitude of the ardent "free software movement" folks, sometimes unable to see the forest for the trees.

>But practically does it matter? It is historical software
They thought it mattered enough to cook up their own idiotic license which prohibits making forks. They'd probably cease and desist anyone with a popular fork. If they viewed it as historical software, none of this would have been a problem.

>now no company is going to bother open sourcing stuff that might have skeletons in the closet, no matter how historical or important it might be
Maybe companies should stop being lazy, greedy and retarded. Don't fire people who are capable of reviewing code before releasing it to the public. This whole thing was a pr stunt and way to get volunteers to work for free.

Some other thing I wonder about, is whether in theory it would make even sense to use legal documents such as a licenses, if you are publishing your software under a pseudonym only. Assuming the license wouldn't be valid due to one using a pseudonym, it would be probably futile to even add a license to your code. In practice of course, nobody thinks about that, nobody (or at least myself) would go to court, because of that anyway, and therefor it seems to me the license stuff, when it comes to pseudonyms, is more or less an imaginary protocol, that everybody abides, but is not really enforced in places where somebody doesn't. This of course, is just an educated guess of mine and I'm no lawyer, but it makes sense to me, that a legal document is not valid, if signed with a pseudonym or anonymously.

That's actually how they look on younger girls though, particularly 10-14(maybe later as well). I think it grows out of proportion to the hips and the hips catch up later.

I'm not a paedophile or anything I just have three younger sisters who were not always that shy about the way they dressed or acted at home.

It's not, sadly.

Giving anime girls massive, scrotal seeming bulges in their underwear is done intentionally to make anime viewers accepting of trannys.

I'm surprised it wasn't Ranma ½. Or I guess recently OniMai, that surely must have caused a stir among the susceptible.

Interestingly enough the /a/ threads for OniMai were great and somehow managed to not become a spamfest. There were some threads where the appeal of genderbender was discussed (e.g. desuarchive.org/a/thread/254065359), and some broad consensus that it's mostly either about wanting to explore the feeling of being a different person [not necessarily sexual or gender-related], perhaps slightly linked with ability to redo your life. Of course for OniMai in particular it's mostly a CGDCT with a twist, so that childhood life that is relived is a warm happy one, with lots of cute emotion – which makes it an appealing fantasy to either self-into or passively yearn for. Latter could probably extend a bit to yuri or CGDCT as well (but it's surely more passive there).

I don't have much to add to the discussion as everything that needed to be said has been said, but here's an interesting infographic that shows that regardless of whatever causes some anime fans to become trannies, they're still a very small portion of the community. Before anyone comments something about this being from Reddit, that's exactly where trannies hang out, so...

I'd prefer poltards think anime is for trannies so I don't have to be around the obnoxious faggots.

It's whatever I meant it to be, sorry.

It's a made up term that promotes black and white thinking about people but the condition that makes someone a normalfag is experiencing love and having sekkusu at least once (making ¨love¨), in my opinion.

Call it a failed normalfag post if you want, I still think it's a fundamental (normal) part of the human experience I don't have. More importantly, I don't have a point of reference to truly say ¨Meh, it's not that great¨ or ¨well, at least I experienced it¨ , so the thought of it comes up whenever I see it depicted in fiction. I could theoretically do it but the juice I can get isn't worth the squeeze and it'd be something transactional for someone like me.

I know fiction (anime) and ¨love¨ are highly idealized but that's the point of this post, really. What bothers me is not having a point of reference and seeing constant reminders of it with nothing to compare it to. A normalfag will never know what this is like. They can feel lonely and be in the same position as I am in the present but they had a normal experience in the past me and others can't relate to.

Branched from >>/an/38557

Ah I read the entire conversation thread (originating at >>/an/38543) and yes I can see where you come from now. Yes I do agree that when combined with >>/an/38543 there is a tone of not having familiarized much with this imageboard. Particularly the overuse of interjections, casual tone, treating it as some sort of "live" conversation ("Guys we're fucking doomed I swear"), etc.

The content itself is fine, the style is indeed a bit annoying to read though, especially the ("Guys we're fucking doomed I swear"; this isn't a chat room). Author seems to have good intentions though, please just try to proof-read a bit and treat this less of a casual chatroom and more of a discussion forum.

You being independent means you're already well past half-way there. Good job. Every other weekend isn't even that often. I would just nod my head and zone out whenever they want to talk about politics.

Isn't that the case with most normalfags? If you say anything that goes against their views they take it personally.

Political topics pertain to /tat/.

I don't know how they are, if they're just normal people who have gone and become politically obsessed, don't worry about it and try to change the subject. If they still need to bring it up and don't like you disagreeing with them either tell them you don't know anything because you're not interested in and do not follow politics, or go uh-huh, yeah and agree without elaborating to whatever they say.
I live with my mother and have every day for the past near decade been forced to hear about American politics and how Trump is like the second coming of Christ who's going to fix everything just trust the plan!! I don't even live anywhere near the US. I wouldn't care if it only was every weekend instead of daily and if I never had to hear any of the talking heads she listens to again.

All of politics are a cult, fuck em all. This shit is the new sports for normalfags. Wish people could go back to arguing over sports teams instead of which kidfucker suit is going to save us the most. Spoiler alert, none of them will.

I prefer brownies that are nicely crisped at the edges, and not cloyingly sweet.

But based on the response and removed image I imagine you meant mlp fans instead (not sure if there is a word filter that was attempted to be avoided). There's some discussion in >>/ot/42600 and >>/ot/42192.

I don't really have any strong thoughts, they don't bother anyone else and mostly stay out of the limelight. I've even watched some episodes of Friendship is Magic and it easily beats most of the trash on "disney" or other american cartoons. They have even managed to remain mostly separate from "furries" which is surprisingly unexpected [1].

[1] From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom - "21% of furries consider themselves to be bronie[s], 44% consider themselves to be anime fans". And 20% of bronies consider themselves furry according to the "2014 herd census"(!?).

Yeah, this.

Negros and Indians I don't mind as long as they stay in their own countries. Just like the My Little Pony fans, that's one community who seemingly learned to keep to themselves and not bother or invade others. They used to be a pest in the very early days, but it's nothing you ever think about because you hardly ever see them now.

What few episodes I saw of Friendship Is Magic I remember were mediocre, but I agree it's better than most modern cartoon garbage.

More and more people stop believing the big hoaxes, those hoaxes that have fancy tittle to name itself with, you guys know what I'm talking about. I'm not even from a Anglo country and I can attest to this. I'm from a SEA country that are anticom, full of liberal-progressives, and full of idiots who believes in literally any victim story narrative. Despite that people nowadays stop believing the mainstream narratives. Anybody from highschooler to the elderly just suddenly stop believing in them. it's not just my nation, I've heard same story from other nations. Take Ukraine and Russia for example. or USA and every other Anglo nation for example. something is about to go down.

I didn't hear much about the USSR in class either, it was mostly just how evil Germans were during the 30's and 40's over and over, and in passing that also Russians and the Japanese were evil too, but at least the evil Soviets defeated the more evil nazis.
I think many of the heinous things we're supposed to believe about current bad guys (Russia, North Korea, China, Iran, whatever other sand lands, etc) and former bad guys (USSR, Japan, Germany, etc) are either way overblown or made up propaganda bullshit.

These stories are the believable ones. >>1767
The young retards glorifying the USSR/communism wouldn't last a day under it. Would they even last a day during the 90's, without their damn phone.

True. I'm one of them. But I'll still glorify it.

It wasn't so bad as America portrays it. Wasn't so good as USSR itself makes it to appear. Persecutions were brutal, but it's not like EU/America is much different. Not brutal, but you just try publicly opposing SJW values. You'll get crushed with not even a glimpse of mercy. Apart from that, average quality of life was more or less as miserable as literally anywhere else.

after having to spend some time around disabled people recently i can safely say i am pro-abortion. and you know what? why does it matter if theyre born or not, just kill them when theyre kids as well, hell, when theyre adults even. this topic troubles me, because beforehand i had thought i was pretty staunchly against murder, but when it comes to disabled people i find i dont give a shit. and well fuck it if were doing away with disabled people we might as well get rid of the blacks while were at it. no no, i mustve missed something somewhere, i just cant put my finger on it...

My stance is simple. I agree with both the Catholic, and the Satanist: Abortion is murder.
Predictably, I also agree with the Catholic on the matter of not permitting it.

It's murder. But murder can be an act of mercy. Ie. it's OK for getting rid of people with severe deformities/disablities, etc., but it shouldn't be used for silly reasons like it just being an unintended child (including rape).
I view some races (basketball devils, indians) as sub-human, though, and the word "murder" only applies for humans. Ie. I don't care if those races get abortions, and it should actually be beneficial.

I can only defend abortion in case of rape or if the fetus is dysgenic, don't want a women wanting to be forced to have a subhuman kid..

Christianity in this area is cuckolry, because a women is forced to be cursed by a subhuman breed because it's is apparently a "plan of God"

That's simply impossible since the state ideology of Imperial Japan, State-Shinto, was religious in nature. Japan staying out the war or winning the war would have meant a strengthening of its native religious traditions (Shinto) and a weakening of all foreign doctrines, including Buddhism, which wass already happening prior to the war.
That and the fact that Christianity had already been present in Japan for centuries and never managed to spread outside of these obscure little communities.

Korean culture is shit so that's okay.
Chinese killed more of each other during their civil war than Japan did in their war against them.

'They cannot believe that there are cultural values that are the result of centuries of historical development, which cannot simply be bought. It was no bad joke when, after the war, they bought the ruins of German castles and moved them stone by stone to the U.S.A. They really thought that they had purchased a piece of national history embodied in stone, and were naive enough to think that mocking laughter from Europe was respect for the wealth that enabled them to buy what their own tradition and culture lacked'.

'Although we affirm the technical achievements of our age, we see behind them an intellectual strength that grows from the roots of our people. Machines are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. As much as we appreciate the achievements of modern civilization and use them to improve life, we know that they are not the sole meaning of life. There are national values that are the result of centuries of history and tradition. They cannot be purchased, only built by the labor of generations'.

Hirohito actually offered to make Japan a christian country during the peace talks, but it got refused from the U.S.

Is the Buddhist roots of Japanese morality not the slave morality you hate so much? Nietzche criticizes the ascetics as being no better than Judeo-Christian repressive slave morality in that the ascetic priest willingly represses his will to power, rejecting natural desires and sources of joy, to numb the emotions and to give meaning to life. This is done by occupying the mind with vast amounts of mindless work and a sense of "loving your neighbor" - a community of shared interest. This sounds a lot like the ideals Japan has, and if you had actually spent any time there instead of basing your knowledge of Japan on its cultural exports, you'd realize the reason anime is so morally different from western media is because it acts as a moral escape from the extremely repressive Japanese working life - no wonder there are millions of shut-ins unable to comply with these ideals, expending all of their time to that beautiful moral escape of Japanese media!

I'll agree with you for the most part, except for the idea of Japan being an exception to this. The specific moral values of Japan may be different, as you've identified it being untainted by Judeo-Christian ideals, but the morality it does have is equally as repressive. Perhaps they are simply more self-aware of this and have created an adequate escapist medium for sustainability.

Japan is even more consumerist than the US. The average American is a hedonist, consumerist, and has to work a lot to barely make it by and save a couple hundred a month for savings. Japan takes these and multiplies it.

Westerners don't hate cuteness. Both the US and Japan use tactics to psychologically influence people in a bad way. Japan uses the most text on TV out of any other country to keep people watching, youtubers adopted this. The US uses seх in almost every form of media. Both brainwash their people to pacify them and make them work a lot and spend what little they have on consumerist bs.

The only kind of country which would allow for a more pleasant lifestyle for the average person, are those like Norway. Small, low population, overflowing with cash.
