I just want to say 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,740 My focus like the reason I like tokusatsu.

Is it better when I find everybody attractive in the show? 22 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,740 Sure, but is the level of attraction something that is a defining factor. I would say for me no 23 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,520 Maybe in the past. Yes 24 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,920 early on in my tokusatsu 25 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,160 fandom career, whatever when I was getting interested in reviewing things and looking at things I 26 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,520 Was interacting with some people one I 27 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,640 Was this close to being a full-blown SJW 28 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,720 and 29 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,200 Something saved me from it.

I think it's obviously hurting these individuals. It's causing them to hurt others. I don't know what Kyle did 83 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,840 I don't know who he hurt. I don't know how he hurt people 84 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:39,920 I don't know if he was just funding stuff being made or or what the extent of that is and I don't actually care to investigate 85 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,200 because it's none of my business and it's only gonna hurt my heart more and 86 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,520 There's enough darkness in here already I don't need any more 87 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320 But it's just interesting the people who are really I mean, of course his 88 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,280 immoral 89 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:58,080 Illegal that's what's more important immoral than in that it's illegal because there's people who want that to be legal 90 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,080 Okay, there's people who want that to be legal and 91 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,640 If you're coming you might be supporting them, but I'm not gonna get into that right now 92 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,800 And if you refuse to say that this is this and that is that a is a and B is B and he is he and she is she then 93 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,760 I'm sorry 94 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,800 I feel like you're also 95 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Eventually gonna give support to that kind of stuff because that's where all this it's all a mind game a slippery slope to lead you 96 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,000 To this ruin and to harming other people and it starts with rejecting the fundamentals of there is light. There's dark 97 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000 There's good. There's bad. There is 98 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,760 You know one and another and that's how it goes 99 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,960 But still I still want to bridge the gap. I still want to reach out to people and say hey 100 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,440 You don't have to believe in this craziness. You don't have to give into this degeneracy 101 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,920 You don't have to give into this degeneracy. You don't have to do these things and I don't know that the modern consumeristic 102 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,480 Media landscape where we just want to make money off of stuff as much as possible 103 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,960 Which is something I want to do to some extent with my writing and things like that 104 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,160 Is like healthy for creating a cohesive like completely edifying? 105 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,920 Like set of stories and like culture of fandom and things like that 106 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:08,080 Like people used to love her heroes from fiction from stories from legends because they inspired them to be greater or they got them through things 107 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,080 and now we have people just saying they want to 108 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,600 Be physically entangled with this cartoon man 109 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,920 Because of how hot he is and you know his ice bath and stuff 110 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,960 Which the ice bath thing in the movie could seem completely and perfectly in a line with like context of he's an athlete. He's an athlete 111 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,560 He's drinking bone broth and wheatgrass, bro. So like the ice bath, of course, it's great for recovery 112 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,640 You should do that if you're that kind of athlete or if you're getting your butt kicked his Ultraman that totally makes sense 113 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,400 but like to use that as an audience member and like salivating over that is weird and gross and 114 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,800 That's like if I was a fan of a Sokotano from Star Wars Rebels and other Star Wars stuff because she's so hot 115 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,400 Yeah, her weird tube top outfit is strange and 116 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,720 You know the windows and her clothes and stuff get worse when she gets her updated 117 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,720 uniform and it's weird 118 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,800 It's weird that you would create characters to be like this and I hope this doesn't mean that I won't invoke that anyway 119 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,840 It's just very strange to me that it's just very strange to me 120 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,960 It seems like a red flag and it seems like a red flag that people aren't seeing and are ignoring 121 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,520 That the guy who doesn't want Emmy to grow up into big Gigantron or whatever her name is 122 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,800 And the lady who thinks the cartoon character is super hot 123 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,960 They all share in common this enjoyment of tokusatsu stuff, which is made for children 124 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,440 Which is what Kyle was into and then into children eventually or whenever however that happened 125 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,960 I don't know and it just seems like a weird risk 126 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,400 Does that mean I'm at risk because I'm a tokusatsu fan and I like this kind of stuff? I 127 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,840 Hope not like no, obviously not. I'm saying that that's not what I'm saying. This isn't an admission. It's not a cry for help. It's a 128 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,440 It's asking people to look deeper and to look farther into like examine themselves 129 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,360 like our heroes are supposed to do in these shows and actually grow up like Emmy is supposed to and um 130 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,320 Stop being so self-absorbed with yourself like Ken Sato like 131 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,320 The thing that makes Ken Sato hot in my mind is that he went from being a punk and 132 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,160 a selfish guy to being somebody who cares about his family and invests himself in other people 133 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,760 And in the future and wants to be more than he is now 134 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,720 Tomorrow and that's what's hot. That's what hooks. That's what makes somebody worthwhile and makes something worth 135 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,920 loving and caring about not because it 136 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:26,120 Excites you momentarily all that stuff's gonna fade but that truth that story is forever and it will endure to eternity 137 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,160 Keep up with me like and share to help me reach more people like you and go to 138 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,160 MJMunoz.com to find your next favorite thing 139 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,440 And don't forget to let your voice be heard stories are always better when you're part of the conversation 140 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,840 Until next time be well.
