    So can you explain what’s with the anime girl roman memes with all the sexism and racism?

    I also don’t get the fetish that the people over in non credible defence have either. War, guns and killing glorified and memed. So bizarre.

      As I said below

      Mostly it’s just absurdist jokes and memes by a Filipino Romaboo with a terminal case of Horny.

      Centurii-chan is internet-overdosed, that’s for damn sure, but unless “Being terminally horny” is sexism, I don’t think I see it. As for racism, there are certainly some edgy jokes, and Centurii-chan doesn’t always take racism as seriously as they should, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything that’s degrading towards PoC. Which, itself, would be a little weird, considering the artist is, themselves, most likely a PoC.

      I also don’t get the fetish that the people over in non credible defence have either. War, guns and killing glorified and memed. So bizarre.

      Many people in NCD, or at least the original (especially pre-Ukraine War) NCD, were vets or involved in the defense industry at some point in their lives. Some were bitter, some were cheerfully detached, but in both cases, humor over the absurdity of the military and fascination with military engineering were uniting features. Many of them were… bizarrely knowledgeable on military engineering and specs, both modern and historical. An attraction to those with a certain hyperfixation, one might say.

      Military engineering is impressive and militaries the world-round are likewise full of fascinating absurdities - interests I share with that original demographic, even though I have never been a part of the defense industry or in the military.

        Will have to heavily disagree with that one. Either someone is stealing the characters and making more hateful content because I have certainly seen ones that are absolutely disgusting. Genital mutilation, cannibalism, rape, racism, all put onto this perverse kink pedestal. Historically accurate or not it’s fucking nasty creating that kind of content.

        You know what other kind of engineering is impressive? Every other kind that doesn’t involve the military industrial complex and tools designed to kill the most people possible. Sowing machines, bridges, submarines, aqueducts, anything that doesn’t actively make the world a worse place.

        Hyper fixation or not some things are messed up to be so obsessed over.

          Definitely not the Centurii-chan I’ve seen, and I follow their art. The worst of their’s I’ve seen are some jokes about colonization that could be seen as in bad taste, and a joke about people using slurs when playing multiplayer games.

          Uh, okay.
