[1150] Cat Girls Suck!
└ posted on Thursday, 30 January 2020, by Novil
Based on the famous comic strip I Don’t Really Have Strong Opinions by Shen who created some of the most iconic webcomic strips of the decade, despite being an irredeemable bike cuck.
- Ye Thuza: Maybe the world isn’t such a bad place after all. I need to focus more on the positive things in life.
- Cloud: Have you heard the news? Steins;Gate is being adapted as a Netflix series! Mayuri will be portrayed as a “radical feminist,” Daru as a “nerdy Breaking Bad fan,” and Kurisu will be played by Leslie Jones!
I guess it’s possible in the US that someone could just load up their AK 47 in a situation like that.
this better be a joke…
@ foducool:
They also just announced a one piece real life adaption for Netflix by the author of the manga.
Ok, I know a live action Steins; Gate is happening, but please tell me the rest is made up?
I’d cancel my subscription if I weren’t leaching off of someone else.
@Perisa
AK-47 are legal in America as long as they were manufactured before 86 and you pass all the background checks. I’m not sure how ATF looks at former freedom fighters in other countries in their background checks.

Peace was never an option.
I think Ye Thuza would identify more with the Vox Machina series coming up on Prime from Critical Role’s Kickstarter… They’ve got Picard as well…
I just love how calm she looks slapping the box into the 47.
Yeah, sure, but taking things into perspective for a sec: Does a live-action Seins;Gate really matter compared to the fact that Ethos Capital is buying up the Public Interest Registry and are explicitly planning on turning the “.org” domain into for-profit, meaning that they will start selling user information tied to about 10 million sites and will start accept bribes from certain people who want to censor uncomfortable information on, for example, Wikipedia?
Happiness is a warm gun.
First I thought it’s just a joke.
Then I searched the news.
Why??? Was the Death Note troll adaptation not enough? Who pays for this? I’m so confused.
this fills me with immeasurable rage
AK47 – when coffee is not enough to soothe your mind! 🙂

I’m convinced they WANT this exact reaction. They make these barely recognizable adaptions with the intention to leech off of the outrage. Even bad publicity is good publicity if it gets you the clicks/views you want…

I don’t think the Internet works that way.
Correction: Please tell me the Internet doesn’t work that way.
In all seriousness, the only way I could imagine that happening is if they threatened to shut down Wikipedia’s DNS service unless the top-level staff deleted/protected certain pages. And I don’t believe Wikipedia would let that happen. Unless there’s another way to do that which I am completely unaware of, so could you elaborate? Do packets from every single .org page get routed through a PIR server?
Gas tube a little to long, and because of the front sight, this looks like a AK47. (or AKM)
What i can’t identify is what is that bottom part of the lower handguard.
Besides that. Loved the choice. but who can Not identify a AK..
While it was common and a preferred among the communist parties. the other major contender during 8888 was the FN FAL, Liberated from goverment forces of course..
Cat girls rule!
Thought cat women can suck if they of age and you get them purring right.

Are you saying that all of the above is actually true? Or just parts of it?
What I found is that they’ll make a live action adaptation. I didn’t find any details about ot. I can’t imagine Mayuri as anything radical, except for maybe coseplaying.
Whatever: as long as that Hollywood Akira gets made, all crimes against japanimation are forgiven.

The AK series remains the weapon of choice among no end of militant forces. They’re so well though of (and so common) that in many parts of the world you can get a slave in exchange for one. Quite a comedown in human trafficking since the 19th Century when a healthy slave brought what today you could get a very comfortable auto for.
This is why Yuna behaves.
I think there are people in Netflix who are working on steering the company from the inside out to make it into a competitor for Asylum Films and Scyfy.
Outside of that, Netflix did bring help bring Little Witch Academia to a wider audience, so not all is lost.
anything other than an exact shot for shot and line for line adaptation of the anime is an ulitmate fail
@ Novil:
Considering everything Yuna gets up to when she is inspired and/or bored, I am fairly certain an AK47 is the least illegal thing in that house!
@ Novil:
Along with, sadly, a large number of American AK owners.
@ Riposite:
A live-action carbon copy of the anime might work, but what if the live-action version picks a different path through the visual novel, and does it just as faithfully to the anime-that-would-have-been if the anime had gone down that path?
Would that still necessarily lead the live-action version to a bad ending?
@ Tanall:
Don’t be silly. Most of the inventions Yuna comes up with are so far out there that there are no laws in the books to prohibit or control them. There is no law against making a perpetual motion machine or a black hole, is there? (Perpetual motion machines are supposed to be impossible, for one.) If there is no law prohibiting or restricting the ownership, creation or use, then such experiments are not illegal.
@ Warriornate:
Depends, were they fighting for or against US forces that came to said country looking for oil and spreading the gospel of “democracy”?

… Seriously? I still haven’t forgiven them for the Death Note-movie.
@ Warriornate:
Plus, there are plenty of semiautomatic only AK knockoffs available. Although since it’s Ye Thuza, I wouldn’t bet that hers doesn’t have a three position selector.
Fun bit of trivia, two countries have an AK 47 on their flags.
@ Novil:
As an Australian who has fired an AK-47 (in Vietnam), I find it incomprehensible that a civilian could have one. But I totally accept that Ye Thuza would have one by her armchair at all times 🙂
Be afraid.
Be VERY afraid!!
@ Wizard:
Well, people used to put spears, shields and swords in escutcheons… frankly, I’m kinda baffled US didn’t add a nuclear warhead to their flag.
I can confirm, loading an AK really calms your nerves.
Also I’m glad she respects the trigger discipline, too many veterans of various paramilitary groups disregard it.
@ Tanall:
With Novil’s trackrecord, I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have papers for even herself and it will be used in some clever political satire strip, also featuring a little girl and a raccoon somewhere in the background (it’s kinda Waldo-situation with that one). XD
@ Jack:
Well, the internet worked that way the last time corporate interests wanted to buy our registration information and control our sources of information, didn’t it?
The PIR is the organization that manages the “.org” top-level domain. If they become a for-profit organization then it will become possible to, you know, offer them a profit in exchange for providing or censoring certain information. Wikipedia can protest, sure, but unless they’re able to offer a bigger profit they may very well become forced to either bend over, shut down, or find a new non-profit domain… problem about that being that “.org” was one of the last major non-profit domains left…

It’s about granulatity. The organization that manages the .org top-level domain has just two options: either it will point it to wikipedia or won’t. It can’t decide to censor just some pages, much less parts of pages. In fact, wikipedia is using HTTPS so censoring it would be quite hard even if the traffic actually went over PIR servers, which it doesn’t.
They can, of course, threaten wikipedia they will take it’s domain if they don’t censor it themselves. Wikipedia can then make that threat public. I don’t think PIR would risk that kind of publicity: it would just endanger their actual plan, which is to make big money for selling other domains.
Now, OTHER org domains, which are much less popular than wikipedia and their content is not so diversified, might face real danger of censorship.
Yay! Time for ninja Ye Thuza to ride the midnight skies again.
Another reason to say no to NETFLIX
@ Warriornate:
Or it could be a semi-automatic only version.
Eh, I’m with Ye Thuza.
Not that I care about Steins Gate, but!
Melusine and Ric Hochet, French graphic novels series.
What’s been done to them would have me cheerfully feed the editors, artists and writers to vipers, one bloody chunk at a time.
@ hkmaly:
I think you’re underestimating how flexible businesses can make the internet with just a little bit of corruption, a little investment, and couple of people on the inside — like Jon Nevett, chief executive of the PIR who referred to the entity being sold to Ethos as “the crown jewel of the domain name system, full stop.” I mean, if wikipedia won’t lock certain pages for public editing, letting only those who’ve paid for their propaganda to edit their own pages, then why should they care what happens to a site founded upon public access to free information?
They’re going to be able to get enough money out of selling people’s registration information to authoritarian interests; owning the ability to make big money from selling domains will just be a boon…
Also, yes, smaller org sites are going to be even more endangered by this than wikipedia…

Ah, the “more important problems to worry about” fallacy.
How about we worry about both at once?
Have to agree more with the third panel. The harder it is to see the positive, the more necessary it is to remember that improving the world isn’t hopeless.
Meant to say I agree with Ye Thuza in the first panel, not the third.
As the great warrior-poet Ice Cube once said, ‘If the day does not require an AK, it is good.’ Today is not that day.
@ Jack:
That is a *big* problem if true.
