A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I’d love a way to block “all anime / hentai / manga” related topics and posts.

That stuff is everywhere, and invades everything. Like a cancer. Even communities which aren’t anime related. I’ll be subscribed to some community because I’m into the topic the community is based on - which has nothing to do with anime- and then some damn anime fan comes along and posts some weird/creepy “anime/hentai version of [topic]” and then it just spirals from there, and another community turns into another fucking anime community.

Believe it or not, not everyone on the internet is obsessed with Japanese style animation, and the associated (weird/creepy) sexualization of such drawn/animated characters.

What is most creepy about it is that all the "women" look like kids. They look like little girls with really big boobs. I don't understand the appeal.

Exactly! That’s what bothers me about the “art” the most. Ew!

I dont think I've literally ever seen that happen and I've been on the Internet since I could walk

I guess we have different interests / see different things on the internet. But it definitely happens. Often.

Almost every "comics" community I've joined on here has gone from people talking about actual published comics to people postin webcomics and their own works within days.

I'm the same, I routinely filter out anime stuff. Probably the most annoying thing is that I started playing FFXiV and now my in-line adverts are for gaccha anime crap and generally super cringe/bonk horny.
