      It says game in the title. It’s obviously for kids. Just like Ender’s Game, the children’s picture book about committing genocide.

      How would someone even know you’re ‘praying’ in public ynless youre making a spectacle about it? Thats what people dont want in the streets, large public demonstrations that seek to suck in and take advantage of vulnerable people. People know they can go to any of hundreds of churches or religious institutions if they want that sort of thing, but accosting strangers in public with your religion is not appropriate. You wanna sit on a park bench with yojr eyes closed and talk to god in your head, no one is going to stop you though.

      “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.”

      Matthew 6:5-8

      Jesus had some damn fine ideas. No matter what your religion is, prayer isn’t about being seen by other people.

      I choose to watch dubbed with sub captions. You often get two different translation attempts that way and I think between the two i occasionally pick some some nuance i may have missed had I only received the sub or dub translation alone.

      After almost 30 years of anime and foreign content watching, I have consumed tons of content subbed and tons of content dubbed, and still regularly watches subbed content for huge amounts of no-dub content out there, and have concluded that dub + sub is the overall best experience for me by far.

      That being said. I don’t personally care how any other person consumes their content. If you want subs, that’s cool. If you want dubs, that’s cool too. But I’m sorry, all you anti-dub folks, you are not cooler, better, or smarter for listening to voices in a language you don’t understand. It’s a preference. It’s fine to prefer subs, but it genuinely does not make you or your experience superior.

      Edit: typo

      Uncultured rubes do.

      I suspect that a huge portion of Americans do not have the reading skill to keep up with subtitles. Subtitles make them feel stupid, so they won’t watch em.

        Drag’s friend has ADHD and doesn’t like subs because then bot can’t look at bot’s stim toys and other distractions. Drag prefers subs because dub performances are so unreliable in quality, and they’re never going to perfectly match the directorial intent which the animations were made for. All Might’s American voice actor absolutely sucks. Which should be impossible because All Might is one of the most American characters in all of anime. But the guy just did a bad job. He’s not nearly loud and boisterous enough.

    Dub watchers are either German (they love dubbing the fuck out of everything) or English speakers (they’re not used to not having content in their native language so subtitles distract them)
