And yet both movies have an all-japanese cast in horrible wigs and tend to omit characters that couldn’t be done well by japanese actors. Why didn’t they just hire some token foreigners to act in the movies? Save a bit on terrible wigs and eye enlargement makeup.
Nope.
Japan's movie industry is very much Japan first.
Also I mean, what did you expect from these movies?
We complain about whitewashing so often and we have a well produced movie that isnt so but we still like to beat it down for minor faults.
For how bad the US is with this Japan is much much worse.
I will very much point out the very overt race issues Japan has in its treatment of pretty much everyone not Japanese. My usual description for Japan on a lot of cultural sensitivity things is, Japan is the US in the mid to late 70's and kind of just stuck there.
But at the same time it is an island that is 98% Japanese and is one of the entertainment industries where local fare is the biggest market instead of imported US/Hollywood movies.
Yeah but it's really not just the xenophobia.
Their sexism is... well, it makes us look like gender utopias.
I can only imagine how horrible their trans communities have it.
Ehh, again different culture with a different historical base. I would not say amazing but at the same time not really the same type of bullshit you get in the states. Japan's issues are not based in the protestant puritanism that the US/Canada and a lot of Europe have baked in.
Yeah but, I see it in a lot of the media.
Transphobia and homophobia is really baked in to their entertainment.
I've seen very few positive female characters in the admittedly small slice of anime I've watched or been aware of.
Anime, though a bigger export, is a subset of a really broad media market in Japan and would not be the basis I would weigh everything on. Especially since a lot of it is targeted towards 13-16 year olds which isn't great either.
Yeah but, take Persona 5.
Aren't women just puzzles/prizes?
I mean damn....
Same with Mass Effect, just it is women and men. Same for most games with any romance part.
Gamification of relationships will always leave something to be desired.

My basic problem with video game romances is that they almost never make it about the character's personality and personal preferences when it comes to potential partners and instead make it about being nice to them and agreeing with them.

How long after an interview should I expect to wait to hear anything?
Also, if I was one of three, should I expect radio silence or a clear "no?"
depends on the company; I would advise sending an email correspondence the very next morning thanking them for the interview and try to contact them no more than once a week until you hear otherwise.
my first engineering job came with a call to interview the next monday, and a job offer on wednesday
Ive had another company make me interview 5 times, once over the phone, twice in lafayette, once in Bay St Louis, and once in Houston, only to never hear from them after that.

You should think you are going down a romance dialogue path but after a few hours the person says it just isn't working out. is totally unaware you were interested and doesn't think of you that way

But still way more positive media than not. Serious gay relationships have been running in manga for decades.

Video game romances are horrendous to the point of being insulting
It depends heavily on the adultness of the script writing, imo. Ones written for actual adult people don't tend to be as bad, as far as I can tell. Ones with ups and downs and cute shit, instead of clear slot machine simulator.

Let's talk about deepfakes and how troubling the rapid improvement in video editing has become
Right now with photos we have basically 3 classifications:
Obvious fake (100% confidence)
Very likely real (95% confidence)
Too fucked to tell
It’s really easy to hide image manupulation artifacts with resampling and compression, and so images that are heavily resampled or compressed are just discarded as who knows. But when an image is original and genuine, you have artifacts of the image generation process that are nearly impossible to fake even if you’re trying. It can be done but the level of expertise we’re looking at is far beyond most people and circumstantial evidence, plus a little analysis, can certify an image as unaltered.
That’s where we’ll get with deep fakes I imagine. You’ll either have a video that you can perform lens distortion and sensor noise analysis and identify it as very likely genuine, or you’ll have video that is too small or compressed for those techniques and it’ll get classified as impossible to tell, like photos are now.
I think the fingerprints of video manipulation are quite a bit trickier to hide than single frame images too, since you have time-based stuff to cover up too.
Scary but not “the courts will become a circus where there is no such thing as truth”.
