  • Compared to the US, Japanese manga has much more variety in styles and stories, though some genres (flashy fighting, harem shit, Isekai shit) are beyond oversaturated.

    I saw yesterday one guy talking about absolute Batman another take on Batman as if we didn’t had enough. It could have the best writers and all but again, more Batman? The method Japan has is basically everyone gets a chance and try to standout with his idea by himself.
    In US is get hired by one of the corpos that brought a successful idea and do something that sells. Nobody friggin dies BTW.

    The results are obvious there’s people that will buy Batman, Spiderman or Superman at every turn but for many there’s only so much Spandex superheroes you can have.

    I see Uruguay there My country has no plans to phase out gasoline cars sales by 2025. We barely have the infrastructure for the current ones really. What we have is a plan to start giving benefits and tax cuts that starts on 2025 is called “subite” translates roughly to “get on”.
    Edit it’s 2040 but still that plan is not voted at all.

    Spanish speaker here. It’s kinda an ongoing issue. Non binary people in most of South America did already used that as solution problem is that Spanish is used with generes for a lot of things even objects that do not really have a gender.
    So as a start it sounds weird and sometimes you have to do a double take to understand what was said. Another issue is that gramatically there are words that end in e and are gendered for man ex: “Presidente” is used for male president and “Presidenta” for female president. Admittedly those are few cases and some argue that they where originally non gendered or are loan words that are non gendered. But still it’s not resolved Now this next point is mostly my observation you can take it as you’d like, the community handled this awkwardly and it kinda became a fad from 2014 now somehow out of taste for some. Some tried to impose it onto everyone as the.morally correct choice, and some seemed to use it as a form of rebel, I.think it was very badly received as a whole. My obvservations ending there reality is that there’s very little open discussion about it like it was a fad (also right wing government winning in 2015 doesn’t help) but non binary people is still very much there and still no better understood.
    Right now seems that the genderless e use is still used as “an inside dialect” for some but when interacting with people outside of the queer comunity they go with old gender rules. Some others do use pronouns and gender alternatively. But definitely there is no consensus and little open talk.
