  I mean, this is a very Captain Obvious take. The problem is; it won’t change and it’ll only get worse.

  Wait, you’re telling me some of these are not aimed at men?

  Or have I just discovered something about myself today…

  Same, and when I have noticed it, I think it looks pretty nice at times. This is one of those cases of people just complaining for the sake of it.

  If people want to complain about actual dumb UI changes; aim it at the new Discord mobile UI.

  As long as they don’t start adding actual third party adverts in their ‘free’ version, I don’t care how much they advertise Nitro.

  And here’s me; bought a Google Pixel and the first thing I did was disable Chrome and install Firefox. Reading this makes it even more worthwhile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨subs > dubs⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  During my early teenage weeb days, I used to be a sub purist, disavowing anyone who preferred dub. I’d refuse to watch an anime with someone if they chose dub. However, I’ve changed a lot since then and now go with whatever sounds better to me. While some dubs are admittedly bad, others put a lot of time and effort into replicating the original Japanese feel, and they do a great job.

  I’ve also noticed that certain anime set in specific countries feel odd in Japanese. For instance, when I watched Steamboy, it was bizarre hearing Japanese voices in the cities of Manchester and London. The Japanese voice actors struggling to pronounce English names and words fluently added to the peculiarity.

  I don’t buy into sub purists claiming all English dubs sound the same. Truth be told, a lot of Japanese voices also sound similar. There are cliché voices that almost allow you to predict how a character will sound in Japanese just by looking at their design.

  I was following it correctly up until the part where you have to place a child on your laptop. I wish these things would let you know the parts required beforehand.
