digi-egg:

So after seeing this meme in the Digimon tag for about the billionth time, I’ve decided to actually respond to this critique. Here begins a long and directionless rant.

Although the creator of the image, In-The-Machine (a fan of both franchises), intended this to become nothing more than a light hearted joke and not an attack, it’s taken on a life of its own and many people who do post it do so under the false pretense that a) there is only one way to create and design a monster series and b) that Digimon is just a copy of its more successful cousin, Pokemon.

Digimon are not biological creatures, but digital, hence its name, Digital Monster. The data that they are composed of comes from whatever Humans put into their computers and the internet. I can easily see an eight year old kid using Paint on his Windows 98 computer and drawing an orange dinosaur with wings and guns. That image is then saved and that my friends is how a MetalGreymon is born. Ok, so that’s not necessarily how a MetalGreymon is born, it has to go through a few stages in order to get to that level (Koromon > Agumon > Greymon being one, but not the only evolutionary lines it can take), but that’s not the point. What I’m getting at is that Digimon and the Digital World is a place where anyone’s dreams and hopes can be fully realized, even if they aren’t aware of it. On the flip side, one’s own fears and nightmares can become real. Or at least that’s my pseudoscience behind the designs, there really hasn’t been a canon explanation to where the data comes from, but that seems like a logical jump.

This image completely ignores the Digimon that aren’t just based off of “real life creatures.” Datamon, Poyomon, Apocalymon, Belphemon (Sleep Mode), Angewomon, and Puppetmon are just a some off the top of my head. A few of the Digimon listed are actually derived from stories and myths like Pinocchio, demonology, the bible. Garmmon has actually created an intensive list of Digimon and their corresponding mythologies.

Pokemon, being biological creatures, tend to go on the more natural side, and that’s great and it has clearly worked well for them. Digimon can (but not always) go on the other end of the spectrum when pieces of armor (chrome digizoid), metal, and weapons are included into the design, and that’s also great. Do the designers sometimes go a bit overboard with the “missiles, bombs, and knives?” Oh god, most definitely!

There really is more than one way to create a monster or a monster franchise. It is its own genre: Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Ranchers, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and V-Pet (Digimon’s predecessor) are just the ones that reached through to the American market. It’s only natural to compare two completely different things that belong in the same genre, but there really is a line. Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura are both magical girl series (and great ones at that), and you may compare the two, but saying one copied the other is stretch, at best.

Again, I have no problem with the image itself, I myself found it humorous the first handful of times I saw it. But when you post it with a “lol digman sucx its rip off” or a “pokemon is better (but only the first gen),” then you just look like an idiot.

oh my god I love you

made fully rebloggable for anon. Seriously, I think a lot of people need to realise that gender equality means Men and Women are treat exactly the same and you can’t solve discrimination against women by introducing discrimination against men

A M E N

Except it isn’t discrimination against men, it’s a limited arena where women are actually allowed to let off some steam for once. Literally any post you see from a woman claiming to “discriminate” against a man is just a woman responding to the amount of utter bullshit men put us through.

Do you like the way you’re treated on Tumblr? No? Think about what we have to deal with *every day* in the real world.

This is by far the most stupid ass comment on my post to date.

You completely missed the point about “You don’t solve discrimination by causing more discrimination” well done, u cant read

I have never ever sexually harassed or in any way discriminated against a woman so why should I be held responsible and suffer for something I didn’t do?

Are you actually serious?? You’re telling me that if I get sexually harassed on here is totally fine because “women need to let off steam” you are so ignorant it hurts. Sometimes men get a bit frustrated by women, sometimes men need to let off steam, that doesn’t make it ok to go up to a woman and describe in detail how I’d like to have sex with her, which is something I’ve had on here. Just because its women doing the harassing doesn’t make it anymore serious or make me feel any less degraded by it. I am so tired of this shit.

Welcome to Amy’s Baking Company.

— Kitchen Nightmares [x]

wanna know the kicker

the only redeeming quality of their restaurant was their cakes and they revealed that they buy them

how does this place even stay in business?

I just found out in a review on Yelp that she had slapped a waitress across the face ater she had been asked why her working hours were cut.

Amy seriously should not have children. In fact, she shouldn’t be around people at all. Or animals.
