Isn't it sad how some people dismiss certain pieces of artwork as invalid or "less art" just because of the medium the piece was made for?

A friend overheard a video i was watching and he heard a track from one piece. He was very interested in knowing the name of the piece, but backed away in disgust and said "nevermind" when i told him it was from one piece.

I mean, it's fair enough if you don't like anime but i don't see how the music is at fault here.
human bias can be really fucking stupid sometimes. i have my own set of bias.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

From personal experience, I suspect that reaction was probably less "Oh never mind, I don't wanna listen to anime music" and more "Oh never mind, I don't want to listen to you start talking about anime."

I mean, unless you're in high school, then being worried about being considered one of the gross anime dweebs might be the issue.

Either way, though, it's not the medium, it's the fanbase. Anime is one of those things that isn't all bad, but has such terrible fans that you really just don't want to be associated with it at all, like My Little Pony or religion.
man this forrest temple theme is great.
wow i must get all the hardware needed to lets play n64/snes.

The thing about growing up is that you turn your attention inward. You stop caring about what people might accidentally perceive you as and start considering how to better yourself. I think what I'm more concerned with now is not being considered a dweeb but the realization that I am a dweeb.

Don't fight it. Just give in. It's your destiny.

It was just an example. It could be anything, not only anime. That was not my point. The point is how people are willing to dismiss an artistic product or part of a product only because of the material it belongs to, despite the product standing on it's own independently from it's source. It happens a lot with videogame sountracks as well.
You're right, Mein Kampf is the greatest book ever written.
That was sarcasm.
There's totally a place in this world for dweebs.

They tend to sit in front of computers all day.
Either working or procrastinating.
One or the other.

Not everyone does. :P

Even though I have more free time this summer, I use my phone to access the internet while I'm out doing things. XD

Sadly, I can't do everything on it. ;_;

I'm not being sarcastic when I say it's an interesting read and really helps to understand the mind of a man who would be called by most as the worst person ever (even though there are legit some just as bad, if not worse than him... not many, but some - Genghis Khan, Pol Pot, Mugabe, those Kim fuckers from Korea, Stalin, Mao... you know, all the 'greats').

Well worth a read.

I watched Deadpool last night.

It was way over-the-top than what I'm used to, but it was such an awesome movie filled with tongue-in-cheek humor that I adore.

So, my parents took up beekeeping as a hobby. I watched their mentor set up their first two brood boxes. It's like their main hive. You can add Supers on top, which they use to fill up with honey. You can collect the honey from the supers, but need to leave the brood alone. That's their food.
Seems like a cool process. I'm definitely looking forward to the honey.

Their end game is to make gin during my dad's retirement in 5 years, and having happy bees is a big part of that game plan.
Plus, y'know, the environment.
Probably going to take this on as well when I move out the city.
I am now thinking about work related programming while watching Dudesoft's BB-8 avatar which makes the thinking better lmao :D

It's the best avatar.
BB8. The comical Star Wars character that doesn't hit the Jar-Jar/3CPO wall.
BB-8 pulled off the typical comical droid of old SW movies like R2D2.
Why is there a slash between JJ and 3PO? Have I been lied to!? D:

You just compared Jar Jar Binks to C-3PO?

It would be hard to keep bees where i live, but i bet having honey from your bee farm must be nice. You can make all sort of things with the stuff. Gummies, rock candy, etc.
