  • I have the opposite reaction when I see these memes. To me it’s a reminder of how inclusive some of my favorite nerdy communities are, on top of being a fun little in-joke like any meme should be. And I’m an old beardy middle aged dad too for whatever that’s worth.

    However, that doesn’t mean the image itself is innocent or appropriate for most audiences. I’m not going to be asking the family’s opinion on this one, lol. But I don’t see it as a manga fetish thing at all. More empowerment than exploitation for the owners of the legs shown.




  • This reminds me of something I was commenting about yesterday.

    Focus on your immediate environment first, and make your little corner of the world better before you worry about saving the universe.

    And like you said, it is a habit and mindset thing. If you plant a tree in your yard or in your community, no it will not save the rain forest, but your mental health and physical health and living conditions will all be slightly better off than they were before it.

    If you start intentionally working in these positive actions that provide tiny incremental improvements, before you know it you may be feeling more than incrementally better.
