I could listen to Degenerocity rant about almost anything. Why is this 20 year old single university student getting worked up about alimony the funniest shit I’ve seen in months.
Sigh, i was watching a degenerocity video on horror because i had nothin better to do, but can yall imagine poto in the style of a horror movie... christine final girl core... ditch the cheesy romance we gotta find out who the phantom is!1!1/j/lh
So Mother’s Basement just posted a video about Rent-a-Girlfriend, and tbh I’m getting kind of annoyed by how much this series is getting hated on- I haven’t read the manga fully, but I originally watched Degenerocity’s video “The Rent-a-Girlfriend (manga) is Terrible Garbage” and that was where I first learned about the infamous NTR chapter and how people hated it. I read it and then jumped to read the more recent chapters with the reveal finally occurring (since in Degenerocity’s video a big complaint was how the manga continued to not develop and push off the reveal forever). A few days ago, I saw Mother’s Basement talking about the manga on Twitter, and figured he would be dropping a video soon regarding it, and it really upsets me to see him turn around on this series since I remember he had made a video on it during its first season about the history of rental services like girlfriends and sisters and how they help shut ins.
I’ll eventually watch his new video roasting the series, and likely need to fully read the manga so I can give a “proper informed” opinion on it, but it’s just disappointing to hear everyone dunk on the series and hate Kazuya and treat him as an incel for things because- a lot of the time I find the series realistic because of those aspects? I understand why people can find Kazuya unlikable and that they can find the story no longer for them because of that, but I don’t think the entire narrative should be written off. I’ve seen comments of people saying they feel bad for the women in the story because they’re in this story of all things, and that also just, feels a little excessive of a thing to say? It’s like the opposite extreme of people saying that disliking Mami because she’s a villain makes you inherently bad because Mami being a villain means she’s a girlboss and we should like her regardless (meaning that because she’s a female villain it is WRONG to dislike her because if you do so then you just hate women). There’s just a LOT OF complex things regarding the majority opinion on this series and it just really annoys me to see another creator jump on the bandwagon of hating the series completely.
So, today (really yesterday...I got home so late that I'm writing it today 💀) I went on a school trip for orchestra! Had lots of fun and listened to some affirmation tapes! First, I listened to "I am" ones, then I went to "You are" ones. Personally, I like the "You" ones more because it feels like I'm being complimented, and that's what I like to visualize. I got a really good score in my event that I went to! Basically, I got the highest ranking! (Woo!) And when I was waiting, these two younger kids came up to me and said, "You're so pretty!" And I, of course, said thank you, and I heard one of them say,"Omg, butterflies!" As they were walking away! I talked to some older kids and had fun! Then we went to a beach attraction, I ate pizza and almost got left (with my friend), lol. On the bus, I was watching Degenerocity, and a boy tapped me and asked what I was watching, lol. Overall, super fun day!
Gonna make a post on my alt account talking about how I'll survive horror movies soon, basing it off Degenerocity's horror movies I can beat videos go check them out and his channel because he's funny.
