Tropes vs Women in Anime

by

Hi everyone. I want to make a video series called “Tropes vs Women in Anime”. It will be a series of 25min long videos where I parrot things from feminist scholars, read off TV Tropes, and re-word Wikipedia pages (such as the entry on “Damsel in Distress”). It will be shot with me and a green screen with some random semi-relevant anime clips spliced in-between. However, this will be a very big project, so I’m going to need $160,000 to make all of these videos. Please donate ASAP.

All $50 donators and above will also receive special “GG Fansubs” stickers featuring Mio Akiyama with her bass in a boys’ school uniform.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I’m a very knowledgeable person on this topic. I even wrote my masters thesis on women in Joss Whedon shows pop culture. It has intelligent charts like this:

(Yes, this is actually in Anita Sarkeesian’s thesis, which she has since deleted from her blog. Yes, she actually says that in her “more ideal feminist” version of television media, confidence is a “positive male” trait.)

Comments have obviously been turned off because Anita Sarkeesian-san does that too!!!11

Oh yeah, “stuff”

Hello. I am currently getting drunk to prepare for Moonrise Kingdom inevitably losing Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars. After it loses, I will do both Jojo and Magi, but I’m like 90lb so “getting drunk” for me is like “taking one sip”.

Uh-huh

Magi will be out after my interview tomorrow. I know you don’t care that I have an interview, but I care, and it’s more important to me than fansubbing. If you don’t like that fansubbing isn’t a job to me and is actually my lowest priority activity, then you can start paying me. Right now. Btw, we’re going to have an experiment in March called “disable commenting”.

Oh, and I would like to make something clear: As far as I’m concerned, I’m not “delaying” anything. I prioritize fansubbing dead last, and I’m still doing that. Nothing comes out at the same time every week, nor is it “supposed” to come out at certain times, nor is there a “schedule” that we stick to.

Dear Zwill,

There’s a Blue Exorcist movie. You haven’t been on IRC for a month. Are you coming back, or did Boba Fett and The Bride finally team up and kill you?

On that note:

Dear Leechers,

The “Aired: December 28th” date on MAL is the date the movie came out in Japanese theaters, not the day it was released on BluRay/DVD.

And on that note:

Dear Leechers 2,

The BD/DVD release hasn’t been announced yet.

And on that note:

Dear Leechers 3,

Yes we are obviously planning to sub it. No it won’t be out the same day the BD/DVD comes out.

And on that note:

Dear Leechers 4,

Yes it will be a billion GB. It’s a movie.

And on that note:

Dear Leechers 5,

No there will be no 480p. We don’t care about your toaster.

Dear so and so

Well, we really have no winter plans at the moment aside from continuing with Magi and Jojo.

Edit: Uh, I guess we’re going to end up doing that BD/DVD only ep of Joshiraku. Sometime.
