Feeling Normal About That Old Man (i Want To Live Inside His Ribcage)

i definitely understand the sentiment. another thing that I noticed after making it halfway through is that the digimon and digidestined rarely, if ever, get a break.

In adventure they imply the downtime, if not explicitly show it. In 2020 there is none between ep 12-20 or smth

I personally really liked AniPoké DP but I think the problem is how far it strays from the ideas of the original Digimon which puts emphasis on character development and relationship dynamics.

Some positives for 2020 are probably the creative way they integrate new technology into the existing world building, the digidestined fight alongside their digimon instead of watching from the sidelines and the plot isn’t horrible.

There’s definitely something good about Digimon 2020 it’s just not the quality we wanted/expected.

(sorry op i really needed to rant (>n<)

Something was just pointed out to me in a Reddit topic about the Digimon Adventure reboot.

It's generally no secret by now that the reboot isn't very well liked among the Digimon fandom. With often cited reasons being the bad pacing, the lack of notable characterization on each of the reboot's versions of the original 8 DigiDestined/Chosen Children to the point where they could be seen as "sanitized" versions, too edgy, no character development, the old voice actors both English and Japanese didn't reprise their roles nor did any of the voice actors actually hired tried to sound like the originals, and just overall stale, without creativity, and just exists to be a commercial.

I went onto a Reddit topic expressing dislike towards the Digimon Adventure reboot, finding some of the same sentiment there.

And in that topic, I had made a comment where I had pretty much noted that I remembered hearing that someone from the AniPoké XY staff had worked on it. I was responded to that comment by someone who said that the someone in question is the lead writer for AniPoké XY. In other words, Atsuhiro Tomioka. Looked it up to confirm just minutes ago as of writing this.

And yes. It's THAT Atsuhiro Tomioka.

The guy who was on the writing team for AniPoké ever since the Indigo League days, and had managed to become the lead writer from Diamond and Pearl to XY.

My thoughts in regards to hearing this pretty much amounted to "no wonder why the Digimon Adventure reboot sucked! Toei brought that hack into their showrunning staff!" However, none of the people I interacted with on that topic so far seem to be aware of how much of a hack he is.

Now, I will admit. This doesn't necessarily prove anything about some personal thoughts I've had regarding the portrayals of certain characters, particularly the portrayals of certain characters in AniPoké (an example being a certain French girl, also Ash during the DP and XY eras), and how any other character given similar if not identical portrayals would be pretty much hated in fandoms outside of the AniPoké fandom. But it does help substantiate those same thoughts. At any rate, I kinda find the sheer dissonance between the fandoms of the properties Tomioka had a hand in interesting and at the same time concerning. Especially since the AniPoké fandom, particularly the periphery audience, loves Tomioka's work, while the Digimon fandom, also that franchise's periphery audience in particular, hates it. If only there was a cut and dry reason for that dissonance. Maybe I'll never know that reason. Who can tell at this point?

I personally hc that he donates to orphanages, and hosts free field trips for impoverished children(if not him, Mokuba would). KC definitely helped the places hurt by his father’s company weapons (at Mokuba’s insistence once he found out what happened).

I’m pretty sure either Kaiba covers it up so that he doesn’t look soft or has Mokuba be the face of all of those efforts.

(rb maybe so I get more answers <3)

“I can’t be a trans man on the internet” go the fuck outside then dude. Signed a trans woman who has had enough of your bullshit posts

I’m gonna use this ask to make a point.

Trans guys if you get an anon claiming to be a trans women that says rude/bigoted shit, don’t believe them. Transphobes have admitted to pretending to be trans women and sending bigoted asks to trans men.

If you get an anon ask saying weird shit claiming to be from a trans women - always remember anons can lie about who they are! 9 times out of 10 it’s just some cis person lying to paint trans women as evil bigots.

And everytime I see a trans man fall for the bait and start saying transmisogynistic shit I just sigh.
