Talk whatever you want how much you are disturbed by the childrens characters dying in the most brutal way or the "weird fetishes" being shown in the anime, but the oscar of anime awards was pretty deserved because Made in Abyss had the most beautiful message no matter how grotesque it was since of course art doesn't needs to always please the viewer but can be uncomfortable, grotesque and shocking, and MIA explores perfectly the philosophy of "more deeper you go down more the rabbit hole of human nature is dark and disturbing" and especially the society where sexism is pretty normalized around the world including in countries where there are restrictions of gender rights for women but are seen to be forced at being maturing since at very young age to become a mother for future generations. This happened with Irumyuui, a child who was forced to mature and be a mother living in a society where if a girl is able to give birth they are seen as hope, but in case of Irumyuui who was infertile and if her society see the girl is not able to give birth they are demonized and judged.

Christ, this anime made me swallow vibes of Handmaid's Tale treatment especially how Irumyuui's babies has the appearance of bunnies since she was a child herself and very young to understand where babies ACTUALLY come from, her scream was absolutely heartbreaking for the fact she would consider herself hopeless for the society and suffers with grief, a perfect message and metaphor of child pregnancy where there are countries you are forced to mature with a such young age where you're still not ready to enter on adult's life but in the view of society and laws you are obligated to be responsible of another child.

I don't think i am able to take serious certain "fans" of this game who likes to victimize Andrew as if he was only the victim in this situation and a poor guy when sometimes i question myself if this person really watched the gameplay or just refuse the true rotten nature of this character.

Like, have we forgot how Andrew also manipulated Ashley like he was lying that he had nightmares only to sleep with her and other manipulations, or especially when he only "dated" Julia by using her as a form to shut mouths of school rumours about Andrew falling in love for his own sister and having sick desires for Ashley? The scene of him asking for Julia make a ponytail it's because he wanted her to mimic the appearance of Ashley with repressed incestuous desires. ☠️

Fuck man, i really hate toddlercon and bestialism in fictional content because i particularly find these absolutely gross being two one of the things i would rather not see in or art or literature, but instead of throwing temper tantrums i have the mental capacity of recognizing what's real and what's fiction and i find it baffling you'll get labelled a "proship" when you just have common sense, like, i am darkship but not every people who are neutral are going to consider themselves to put every labels like profic because they have common sense of knowing the difference between two things.

I was here thinking about the past case of that one Dark Romance book author that went arrested due to "distribution of CSAM" according to laws of the country after writing a Dark Romance book about a grown man falling in love with a 3 years old and fantasizes of her own body as he waits till she turns eighteen, i have heard that she recordes an audiobook saying that Tori was "dedicating to her own childrens" and also saying "i can't look at my own childrens anymore" who are idk around 5 and even if i know that internet doesn't have a reputation at having things 100% trustworthy especially from allegations, but if Tori's words were actually true even if of course i heavily disagree of countries punishing people over fictional content i have to say if once you write or draw something that was directed to a real person and especially CHILDRENS it's not considered fictional anymore and it is considered indeed harmful against humanity as that woman should suffer consequences for fantasizing this stuff about their own childrens.

But my reason why i am venting about the Australiana laws when it comes to fiction is how for me is just more likely authoritarian with falar morality like mostly of politics i have been seeing especially from my country even If i'm not the type at always arguing about politic because for me it's just a total headache, but i'm here to say how Australia just hunts and arrest people who consumes anime content with lewd, suggestive or explicit material of anime characters who are underage like from 14 to 16 as if the person is commiting a crime that isn't fair over fictional stuff?? And look, i know there are leftists here especially lolishos who are from this party, i'm sorry to say that, but analyzing the kind of government is on Australia is the same government that criminalized violent videogames, drugs depictions there inside of pixels of a screen and what you guys that are defending censorship a lot to feel morally superior also criminalized? Hentai, even the non controversial ones is still considered illegal in this country along with irl porn of women with small breasts that are considered "childrens" and even if of course i am 100% against porn industry for the many stories being told about exploitation, abuse, kidnapping and the creator who got arrested over REAL CP MATERIAL i just think what even comes from a person's mind to think a petite woman or the ones who have small boobs are considered childrens? This sounds sexist as hell for me.

I must tell two thing for this government who treats people after seeing lewd art of for example, Tanjiro from Demon Slayer and arresting them as if they were a war criminal:pathetic and hypocrites.

Funny how they're chasing and arresting people over fictional content i guess everyone forgot how that movie which should be investigated by authorities as 'Cuties' that was indeed sexualizing eleven years old childrens no one speaks anymore, yet is still on Netflix and i guess everyone forgots to rise up and pressure the movie to get banned and directors to get arrested because this movie is a red flag and those who enjoys watching, but nooooo the director herself only for being a woman can't get in any troubles especially after that pork excuse of "because it is meant to empower women"??? Literally sexualizing actual childrens???

There's another thing that made me reflect is countries who acts all "moral" most of the time only have problems with Japan, like there are movies or books especially from Western ones who has lots of shocking and fucked up content, but when it's about Japan then BAM there's a big scandal with a huge wave of hypocrisy (xenophobia masked huh). And those who are defending the censorship of Australia especially for banning Hentai even if there's no problematic themes just keep in mind that Western medias could have been affected with this mindset, South Park, Game of Thrones, IT (80s book), Playground Book, Euphoria and Baldur's Gate (that one Bear and human scene) because you guys are politically sensitive that y'all wanna look morally superior at forcing the politically correct meanwhile there are actual problems to see and solve, just because one country criminalized something doesn't mean it is always 100% right especially from these people who doesn't know how to see what is real and fiction, two examples i wanted to give that mostly of people like this are from left so i'm really sorry for pushing that truth how many of these people are mostly extremist leftists who has no form of intelectualism.

-In Japan, there are a group of leftists who wanted to ban lolisho content in their own country, and thank God this political party doesn't represent this country because the number of people that can't distinguish reality from fiction is absolutely sad and concerning.

(no i do not defend any countries especially Japan, i am still aware Japan still have huge issues with rape culture, pedophilia, sexism and homophobia, but we're talking about fiction but outside of that are just crimes against humanity.)

-recently here in Brazil, a stand up actor was getting condemned for "offense against minorities" for making acid humour even if humours like this aren't for everyone, a man who only makes his own fictional character to use as a form or critic entertainment with humor, but he was just doing his own work as a comedy actor to the end getting arrested for 8 years.

(And guess what? Inside of his stand up show he made more inclusivity putting everyone here inside, straights, gays, disabled, non disabled, Black, white, Asian etc than those progressists agendas who promises "inclusivity" because these people were searching for escapism of their own lots of issues at putting some laughs to move away from traumas and difficulties).

And why?? Because the Australian government's same political party along with these three cases i have mentioned follow the same logic because their extremism is so high they aren't able to distinguish reality from fiction and carrying the same logic from 80s Christian conservatives who were blaming metal music and videogames for "causing violence" but now they are doing the same thing with fiction and anime, yes, i find these conservatives equally annoying because any form of extremism only makes me walk straight away from both of these type of people because it's your fault if you have been thinking about harming someone after for example watching Batman?? So which it means everything has to be banned not allowing any form of fun because of one stupid person who is definitely not mentally okay but instead throws the blame at a content that doesn't show any harm towards real people?

Hard to swallow, but all this discussion and temper tantrums of "you're sexualizing me, a minor you Freak!" Brings me familiar vibes of those insane SJW Feminists who gets mad at a fictional female character who has suggestive outfits and fanservice moments and screaming "you're sexualizing us!" And ignoring the real issues like countries that violates womens rights obligating them to censor themselves, dress covering their own body, not be seen and even allowing them to get raped like it happens the most in India, Africa, East and especially Arab countries... And those extremist Feminists who always fights and defends for "real bodies representativity" but once they see a female petite woman around Early 20s with small breasts suddenly they accuse them of being a "pedo material, pedo fetish" showing how this generation not only can't see the difference between fiction and reality but doesn't know what to defend anymore and that's it i'm so done.

Women who writes Ecchi and Hentai could never make me hate them as a woman myself who also sexualize female characters.

No politically correct welcome in this account when there's no limits in fiction, i'm using the classic 'Don't like? Don't see' :)

Gen Z and the obsession with 2000s-2013 Era

WARNING:

This post i just show my vision based on things around the world shown, feel free to disagree, but any rude comments or hate in general will be deleted thank you.

And last thing i wanted to say is that English isn't my first language, have patience because i was using translator writing this essay, have a good reading.

   From the reborn of another era after leaving away the 90s being known as the ‘Millenial Era’ With development of technology with DVDs burning with popularization along with MP3 and MP4, Sense of humour especially inside of medias, new fashion styles being born, music and especially the lifestyle with websites and social media becoming a thing as a form to get communicated inside with others.

But those who lived this era were either pre-teens having passagem to teenhood, teenagers or even young adults, but what about those who were born after 90s ended knowing the fact these people who were born in 2000s were just childrens? And when it also involves people who were born in 2009 with the almost ending of this era before 2010s having the same feeling who haven’t experienced well?

I don't wanna be way too nostalgic writing this essay, okay, maybe this post will show my piece of nostalgia of why me being one of those people who experienced this era being born in 2004 also enjoys a lot the aesthetic of what millenials used to experience in 2000s so get ready at putting your security belts because we’re all going to travel back to the era when 90s was left behind.

Well, obviously i was just a child discovering a lot of stuff with privileges like the Gen Z who were born and during this era i still remember when my parents used to bring lots of CD musics (and just saying that since i was born and grew up in Latin America, Brazil, it was pretty common pirated CDs being sold as even the cops would buy these and i was one of these kids who had lots of these disks as well ☠️ even if there are cases like i heard at finding criminal stuff in ‘bonus’ but yeah), even movies and of course cartoons allowing us to watch and not only the quality was different but also the balance of interactions between characters and script with the humour in the middle from this era. I still remember playing in PS1 and PS2 with graphics quality that sounded more unique no matter how it used to look “bad” from both consoles because we used to have lots of fun and this was around 2006-ish(?) to 2009 with me playing along with my brother, and how could i forget that morning and afternoon watching the classic Cartoon network with such nostalgic vibes before and after going to school with my bro watching Ben 10? Felt like a unique experience any child from this era could have and having CD disks being put inside of a radio to keep the music playing.

The internet

The first time i was allowed to have was only around early 2010s where j like most of y’all, i survived the era of classic online games and one which used to be my main passion was the so famous but sadly doesn't exist anymore is Club Penguin, boy, i remember spending a good time playing even at night until my time is over (who have siblings will understand lol) as when i was surfacing on YouTube where the algorithm changed drastically as time changed at least in the early 2010s i remember being way too addicted at those fandom ship tributes and AMVs with fanarts being put there like i also used to keep seeing on Google based on my tastes and characters and these videos were resumed in for example; Sonic, Teen Titans, My Little Pony, Annoying Orange, Creepypasta, speedpaint videos that were my huge inspiration for my art tips that still burns inside of me in nowdays so i could improvise in anatomy, filter and shading and i am still grateful by the way for experiencing this era of early 2010s. Of course i will NEVER SAY it’s okay for childrens like me have unsupervised internet access because you're not cool for this so yeah sorry to say that, because during the early 2000s where internet and social media was lowkey becoming a thing the authorities around the world and laws for internet safety especially for kids were getting concerned so they were already warning the youth about dangers of online access especially involving grooming ruining mental health for everyone.

The Millenials turned to be adults Probably almost in their 40s, but what now since Gen Z turned into young adults/teens?

With the impact of lifestyle, internet and media things changed in a drastic way things weren't pleasing way too much teens and younger adults than they used to expect and the algorithm of Youtube started to bring the feeling of boredom with Youtubers changing as well fullfing of dramas as there were things it would be better the solve it alone than bringing to the millions of people and ruin their life, and thanks to TikTok and internet in general the internet decided to revive the old lifestyle, fashion and especially quality posts and videos that would reflect how in 2000s to 2010 used to look like.

Example:the revival of movie maker presentations (those who were always shown as music lyrics on YT, tutorials or funny videos) being used again as a form of shitpost, the low quality as there are some of the people who comments on older videos like “this looks like some kind of nowadays humor” wrong, we literally digged back these kind of videos :)))

Not even forgetting to say that kind of posts with low quality also influenced a lot artistic movements seeing artists draw something they used to see around 00s Deviantart, the ancient art website, Blingee got vanished but PicMix came back with same influence.

Even myself i got inspired as i feed a lot my art with same aesthetic quality reflecting the gold era, like you guys see here.

And talking about the shitpost being on style of the old years from internet, because of today’s disappointment which aged like milk out of the fridge this generation started to use it as a escapism from how things became to the extreme at bringing back the humor and entering on the joke from that old aesthetic what they used to say as a entertainment, and jokes like these that nowadays could bring you bad reputation affecting your life, so what even say about the callout culture or known as ‘Cancel Culture?’ people were tired of internet extremism especially when they are, like, extremely political (this goes for both sides btw no hate) and technology advances with AI stuff and strict online safety being taught. For example, the doxxing being used from artificial intelligence at first seemed to be a good idea as a easy way to catch online criminals keeping easy when they wanna find people who commit crimes against humanity, but sadly it has fallen on wrong people's hands after 2020 who enjoys ruining other people's lives at violating their privacy as a form of “good hate” as if they are contributing to something good for something minimal treating like they were war criminals.

Yes, bad people always existed even before internet and social media as i feel totally annoyed at seeing someone commenting stuff like “why people are too problematic in nowadays??” As if horrible people with bad intentions haven’t existed before, but with the internet and technology especially the lockdown people changed their minds at becoming more “sanitized”, but unlike the 2000s everyone would consider themselves weird and no one was cancelled over that due to sense of humour or illustrations especially when it would involve fandoms being considered a place of fun and not morality to be questioned, at least years ago.

Everyone was weird in a good way and that’s okay, because they used to have fun!

2000s futuristic aesthetic comeback were also a reflection of escapism from Gen Z from disappointment of the future unpromised, to get rid of nowdays stress as if it has became black and white with cancel culture and lack of personality of home decorations escape away from minimalism (my own point of minimalistic decorations are already on the thumbnail what i think lol-)

“The unpromised future” that used to be pretty fantasized in those old videogames capes, the revival of ‘Frutiger Aero’ aesthetic with amount of despise to the future when it was all being put to expectations the idea of being also addicted to futuristic 2000s brings a feeling at being more “alive” with soul and magic, yes, nothing was perfect even from this beloved era and i don't want to generalize that everything is bad today which it’s not true, but in mostly aspects sometimes i wish to go back when the media and anything was balanced with should and personality with extravagance.

About the people born in 2009 or after who haven’t experienced this era too much but of course more the Early-Mid 2010s are also creating content based on the aesthetic before 2010, this specific feeling of appreciating something that wasn't from your era is pretty known as ‘Anemoia’ as for example, a person born in 1990 will appreciate and have a fake nostalgia from 70s as if the person was there before even if it wasn't from his own decade, so same thing happens with people born in a year where the 2000s was almost ending and probably the same of Gen Z born before when they were just childrens.

Conclusions:

There are many factors why Gen Z is obsessed with 2000s aesthetic to the point of causing major impact at bringing back with fashion, lifestyle, music, memes/shitposts based on this era humor are:

-escapism of minimalism stuff with lack of personality and life being put in nowadays from home decorations and buildings, but believing the 2000s the sense of fashion, music, and any media in general had more personality and soul completely disappointed of new generation after 2020.

-nostalgia due to the fact that was the decade they were born and were childrens and they still embrace this era.

-getting away from modern extremism from cancel culture and lack of content brought from internet especially YouTube, so they can mimic the low quality, as if after Millenials are not teenagers/young adults anymore now it’s the turn of Z youth mimich the past things said and fashion.

I personally i can relate to these three things because i really love the fashion sense (Mall goth, emo and scene specifically), the artworks like y’all can see here and the fact i was born and grew up experiencing the golden days to be a child just like everyone who was born there so feel free to comment your thoughts as well your reason to enjoy the 2000s aesthetic or if you relate to these three as well.

Yes, obviously i am pretty aware that we're in 2025, but whenever you come to my account always remember that you're traveling back to the golden age of internet and humanity based on my artworks also influences by this kind of movement brought back by 16,17 or +18 years old people because the 2000s never leave us when it comes to fashion sense and aesthetic :)

I am self proclaimed time traveler back to the 2000s to 2013 and my arts are the main proof :3

When i was a child i used to ship SonAmy a lot, but only when i grew up i started to realize how forced it was especially Amy hardly pushing her feelings into Sonic in the 2003 anime making him uncomfortable and there are fanbrats who still defends her having zero imperfections like she had in Sonic X being extremely immature, so i couldn't imagine them being a couple anymore as because of those spoiled brat fans of Amy (i love her, except from Sonic X) and SonAmy half of the good Sonic x Amy fans have quit the fandom due to the toxicity this bad side pushes and despising other ships with her or Sonic when even Yuji and SEGA in general let it clear Sonic and Amy are NOT a canon couple.

What i have to say is, SonAze, ShadAmy and MetAmy rocks in my veins in nowdays :)

I hate when people use the Gerard Way's human centipede with Escape the Fate post as a excuse to say it's not a big deal, just because there are people who are okay about fanfictions of themselves if it's not in a shitpost way doesn't mean the ENTIRE real people will be okay at reading fanfictions of themselves including those that contain *smut* and even with actual MINORS, these people might me also married with childrens so RPF fanfics that contains smut and ships with other real people that not even in other planet they confirmed to be dating is just nope cause i feel completely disgusted and a total disrespect.

Getting a travel machine to the past at remembering as a child watching this episode in TV when Starfire would imagine everyone laughing at her as i was like "damn..." Yet i felt bad for her, but also happy for Robin not mistreating her especially others due to the process of alien puberty, i swear this episode in the end bought me too much comfort knowing Robin embraced her since the ship gained more points after the Transformation episode.
