Its time to talk really sad truths about where we headed because I dont want to interrupt other conversations about semi-related topics.

The sad truth is that Crunchyroll might run #Toonami and that makes me so fucking sick.

Whats worse is that this hurts the medium so much.

Add all the Pateron bullshit (I dont like Pateron as a rule because their leadership is the type of leadership you dont send your daughter to work to, and their leadership are proud-boys supporters, and they support prostitution which is still illegal) and we are in a mess.

After the mess that is VRV can I ask yall folks do you really believe Crunchy is good for the genre?
After everything thats has been done by them, and everything thats has been done to protect them, why the fuck you want them Running the only thing that gave a damn about anime?

The most fucked up thing about this is that certain folks running the gambit on Toonami haven't been in the right emotional states as of late. They cant make the right choices on how to handle these issues that their Bosses have put them in concerning the AT&T deal.

While - ya, sure its business as usual they made deals, they made talks but they are under a lot of pressure to succeed, with a fanbase not even educated enough to understand the new metrics ratings and popularity has become.

And I dont and we should never ever, ever under any circumstances diminish what has happened in their personal lives, because it has happened to all of us at a time. But this medium needs heroes that truly care about it, with all its faults and major successes.

When Pateron is only way for a talented animation studio to have a shot to do their projects.
When Fate Makes so much money (even more than Dragon Ball this year last i heard) yet has no US air partner
When Gegege and Card Captors get new seasons and yet the streaming breaks down

When the deal for Sailor Moon's airing on US TV falls through yet again?
When we have Netflix having shows Toonami should be airing and yet again why are we supporting Crunchy? Why?

The sad truth is that their industry in the US is breaking apart because they havent learned not one damn thing from the 2006 crash. Crunchy is lucky (for all the wrong reasons) that they got small money at that time.

Everything would have been solved if they just let these folks die out and reboot themselves. If these fans would have talked to these western animation folks to at least have a chance to hear them out about prime time slots.

But we are now dealing with less anime on the airwaves not more. Sinclair's deal has gone to shit which means kidsclick is done. The hottest show for young girls (Ladybug) all over the world doesn't have a US network that airs the episodes outside of netflix.

And now, with the success of Crunchyroll over the years in lying cheating and stealing and possibly the new show runners of Adult Swim and #Toonami anime as a whole in the states will get even more marginalized.

And if you haven't read the horror story about a young female who tried to get a job as Sega and how the Japanese HR people kept saying "You need to be a teacher" how is it any different from the shit we do in this country with these inclusion quotas? Its all forms of stereotypes

These are the reasons as fans, we have to find new and more sane ways of promoting the medium we love. We have to integrate high class life style with the medium we love. We can no longer (outside of Japan, MomoCon AX and SDDC/Halloween) do this con shit.

Its a horrendous joke, and only gonna get worse. We need pretty this shit up now. We need to keep these ghetto ass pirates like Crunchyroll and Kiss anime out of the medium now. We need to limit Pateron to a small time player and not the end all be all.

And you know, it isnt such a bad thing to have video games being the gateway to the medium you know? Not fucking Crunchyroll

Im starting with Doga Queen but is a long slog. But im gonna try even if yall like it or dont.
