AKP reaching 2020 pre-reform toxicity levels in mid 2024 was not on my bingo card!!

most of the toxicity is confined to the megathread though right?

This place is a freaking mess. It's filled with a bunch of deranged folk and the only sane people get drowned out by the loud mouth weirdos.

I'm not gonna say it's not entertaining but there's no cohesive and intelligent conversations on here, just a bunch of people who want to sound smart but really aren't.

What can we do to lower the levels of toxicity?

I'm a somewhat willing participant since people keep tagging me and literally summoning me to these threads even though I've gotten probably 6 WPs for user call outs (make it make sense).

I stay petty so I don't have to get petty and own that I've definitely not helped with some of the toxic discourse, but most of that discourse has been aimed at me as much as the groups I stan (aka personal attacks) so idgaf.

OP has said some pretty toxic things in the Megathread but we'll let bygones be bygones as of this thread.

Well, I think after 2+ years of intolerable smugness here and seeing the dirty laundry of the 2 companies who fans were the main exporters of said smugness being aired in real time many many people had to come out for the Lols and to honestly stoke the fire.

I think it was funny at first to watch the mass meltdowns over the last week's, I think now it's just getting lame.

Ive bodiesd a few users and laughed at certain groups getting exposed by this and hopefully made a few decent points along the way...but now it's just repeating the same old shite so I agree with OP...we've gotten to a point where it's peak and now's it's just tragic and embarrassing to keep it going on all fronts.

Let it be done. Even I'm dipping tmr and fucking off for a while since it's kind of making the forum boring now.

You need to go watch some magical Studio Ghibli films if you haven't already. I am gonna take my own advice and go watch The Boy and the Heron in theater today

If only I could find a way to watch the princess mononoke, my favorite film of all time from childhood. Have barely watched anything else from studio ghibli sadly, everyone say spirited away is better than princess mononoke, like ghibli was like this when they made those 2 films back to back

I think before it there was toxicity but it was distributed among more users amd it had a anon section for those who seek that kind of entertainment.

But now I think the toxicity is due to a handful of users, prob 4-5ppl

You're welcome.

And when the beautiful pacifist and mutual understanding message of princess mononoke makes me reflect and change for a better user, actually lowering the toxicity levels

Quote from paradis

Omg...I just watched Spritied Away 2 days back and am in the midst of Princess Mononoke. The movies are pretty much why I am in the frame of mind which led to the OP..lol

Personally my fave is Howl's Moving Castle. But god every work of Miyazaki is a piece of art in not just illustration but fantasy storytelling. I have not seen a single film of his on the big screen but thankfully his last work is currently playing on screens here so I am going to watch it today before it departs from theaters.

Is still playing? It's been almost a year. Crying laughing at the thought that watching any miyazaki film makes you for the immediately for the moment a pacifist

I love how this thread became a Ghibli love discussion.

I saw Mononoke Hime and Spirited Away in the theatre way back in its original release and to see it in HD was glorious

Mononoke and Spirited Away are my top Ghibli films - it’s a tie

My neighbor Totoro, spirited away and Howls moving castle

I saw Spirited Away in the theatre one fine day after elementary school ended and was terrified for over a decade. Now I giggle at scared lil ole me and resonate with the black creature that terrified me for years. I too have a soul-crushing heart

Guys pls stop being toxic

I remember watching Laputa - Castle in the Sky when I was still in China like around 5 or 6 and I remember crying to the movie and from that time onwards it's been my fav Gihbli movie

I watched most of them but haven't brought myself to watch graveyard of the fireflies yet cos it's very very sad

also my least fav film is Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - not because it's bad it's a damn good film but because I've had to watch it a million times because of it's my oldest son's fav film lol

I've been watching Lovely Runner to purge myself of the recent AKP toxicity levels. Really loving what I've seen so far, but then again, I've always loved any drama with Kim Hye Yoon, going back to Extraordinary You.

So far this drama has lived up to the hype

Quote from paradis

Ahh Laputa, another fave of mine. Have yet to see Nausica but seems that isn't an original story of Miyazaki's but an adaptation.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Japanese: 風の谷のナウシカ, Hepburn: Kaze no Tani no Naushika) is a 1984 Japanese animated post-apocalyptic fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his 1982–94 manga series of the same name.

from the wiki

would that be considered an adaptation of his own manga???

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most traumatic, hearth breaking and powerful films ever made. I saw it twice - once when I was young and maybe about a year ago, I wanted to see it as an adult and it hurt too much. It is a legit warning that you have to prepare yourself emotionally before watching this.
