Found in this in a beat-up secondhand copy of The Abomination by Paul Golding in Savers today. I didn’t buy the book, but boy, is this one a mystery.
Ergo Socialismus: thisisnotchina: the-666-doctor: Alright you bitch shits, i was going...
Alright you bitch shits, i was going to draw a picture about this issue, but seeing as i’m not going to waste my time on it, i’ll just tell it to you.
this is the yin yang symbol, as you should know if you have spent any time on the grunge side of tumblr. that isn’t the problem,
you see the Yin means Negative, Cold, Evil, the Dark Side of Things, and anything FEMALE.
the Yang means Positive, Warm, Good, the Light Side of Things, and anything MALE.
this is because the Chinese culture is still mainly Confucianism with beliefs, meaning they believe men will have a higher success rate than women.
so next time your grunge ass reblogs the yin yang symbol you should keep in mind that it is basically bashing women
this is grossly misconstruing the idea of yin and yang from a typical western point of view
nothing about this understanding of femininity and masculinity in confucian culture is accurate
yin and yang have literally nothing to do with “good” or “evil” but about complementary ideas. dark is a complement to light. cold is a complement to warmth. female is a complement to male. the whole concept is that they need each other to be complete. they are opposite but equal. if you think yin and yang is about good and evil then you need to stfu and read a book tbqh.
plz stop using our cultural symbols to further your western ideas of feminism
(p.s. maybe you shouldn’t use misogynist slurs in a post about ~bashing women~ tho)
I don’t know where you bastards get the idea of “good and evil” from, but please do your research before getting your grubby mitts on the handle, attempting fucking pirouettes, and ending up with your foot somewhere north of your throat.
Yes, we Chinese still follow in some way Confucian virtues. However, the crux of Confucianism the devotion of oneself to the ideals of propriety for the sake of the community, self-restraint, and the golden rule of reciprocity. It is a social contract that promotes harmony between the stronger and the weaker, such as juniors owing reverence to their seniors and seniors owing benevolence and concern to their juniors.
And sure; many societies that profess to be Confucian use these ideals to justify their societal imbalances, many Confucian scholars were quite misogynistic. But if the ideals were meant to promote social unity with the community, wouldn’t the actual practices that promote unity change as the community changes also?
Updated the idea for the title screen track I’m working on. More to come, but I’m definitely going to progress from this. I much prefer how this starts to the old one. Sorry for the incomplete phrase at the end. I’m exhausted XD
THIS IS PRETTY! what is it for?
It’s going to be title screen music for a fanmade otome game.
it’s cool!

once again, not vintage but still a very good shoujo manga ^^
A review of Miyori’s Forest (Miyori no Mori) by Oda Hideji
Miyori’s Forest is truly an anomaly among shoujo manga. The edgy, Daisuke Igarashi-esque style of drawing combined with a brutally honest depiction of simple human nature make it a great, shoujo manga rarity.
Miyori is an 11 year old girl with what many would probably call a bad disposition and a dark personality. However, verbal abuse and neglect from her parents are the causes of this personality-facade. In reality, Miyori is just lonely and scared, but her lack of faith in her own good heart and potential have her convinced that she’s a bad seed.
Miyori is sent off to live with her grandparents in the back of the woods when her parents have a falling out. As Miyori begins to adjust to the life of the countryside, she learns that she is the true leader of the spirits who inhabit the forest around her. Faced with a crisis, she takes on the job of protecting the forest and the spirits within it, while finding friends and learning to accept her own self worth.
I have returned!
And I have been dying to share this one with you, because it is just wonderful.
This is a film that was made by Soyuzmultfilm for their 50th anniversary, and was directed by Vladimir Tasarov.
It takes the viewer through the history of Soviet animated film, while building up to the most heartwarming moment in any Soviet animated film.
WATCH ALL FOR PARTS.
Really if you like Soviet animation (I know you do) you cannot afford to miss this film that is a enjoyable as it is informative.
