  • Nah. Frieren's appearance and behaviour are straight from the manga, which isn't that kind of book (seriously, the author just wanted to write about an unassuming elf John Wicking demons and accidentally turned it into a great story about death, and friendship, and whatnot) and only ever uses raunchiness in humorous contexts (the clothes dissolving potion, Flamme's “secret seduction technique”, Fern constantly considering everyone a pervert, and so on).

    This isn't Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (though that also accidentally turned out deeper than what it was supposed to be, which in that case was smut).

    What Madhouse clearly are into in any case is feet (seriously, this show looks like a Tarantino film at times). Serie's, especially. And Übel's armpits, for some reason. Both of those are much more present in the anime than the books (also, excellent animation, like the fights or the dance scene, which in the books are usually just a couple panels; that's probably not a fetish, though).

  • Birthmarks don't seem like the kind of thing AI would generate (unless asked), though...

    (And, as model collapse sets in and generated images become more and more generic and average, things like birthmarks will become more and more unlikely...)

  • And Fern acts as a mother to her in the mornings, and when she's shopping / scavenging. It's a bit mutual, at this point.

    (Though, yeah, I'm fairly certain that Frieren's childish behaviour is almost entirely intentional on her part, and that she can turn it off and act like an adult when she wants to, which admittedly isn't very often; she might also be a bit feral from all the time she lived alone in the woods.)

  • A cat might not be too stoked with its carefully balanced plant-based slop, but it'd be alive.

    No, it wouldn't, that's the point.

    Cats are obligate carnivores, they'll die if they don't eat food containing certain amino acids which aren't present in plants.

    That said, advocating animal abuse, even if it didn't lead to the animal's death (which in this case, again, it would), should be a bannable offense.

    Hope you'll go into kink communities and censor the shit out of risky sexual practices.

    Those are consensual.

    A cat being fed the feline equivalent of poison can't consent.

  • Vegans advocated for feeding cats vegan diets (which, cats being obligate carnivores, is equivalent to slowly torturing them to death), admin (rightfully but possibly excessively hamfistedly, though not unusually so for a lemmy.world admin) shut it down, vegan animal abusers got a bit histerical about the whole thing.

  • What. She's basically got photographic memory. The whole series is built on flashbacks to her memories.

    She's dense as fuck when it comes to interacting with people, sure (though she's been getting better), possibly due to being an elf, possibly due to having spent most of her life alone in the woods, and she's extremely disorganised, but she remembers perfectly every single word of conversations held a thousand years ago.

    Remember the sour grapes, remember her conversation with Old Man Voll when she was offended at the suggestion of her possibly not remembering until she realised he really was senile, remember how she could tell that the steaks in the restaurant tasted different than they had over eighty years before.

  • Of the three elves we've met so far (there might be one or two other minor ones in flashbacks) only Kraft can be said to have changed class (warrior to monk), and that was centuries before the time of the series at the earliest, and due to a crisis of faith (and possibly a midlife crisis, or the elven equivalent of one).

    The other two have spent at least a thousand years focusing on very specific skillsets (and in Serie's case complaining about how humans don't live long enough to gain proper expertise at their crafts)...

    The premise of the series is Frieren learning to appreciate her friends despite their short lives (well, the original premise was a cute immortal terrifying demon killing machine of an elf, according to the author, but it sort of evolved from that)... but when it comes to the nature of elves and how they learn, it's pretty much the absolute opposite of this.

    Both Frieren and Serie would be extremely offended at the mere suggestion that they might possibly ever forget anything, and Kraft would probably be disappointed but understanding.

  • I don't know... Boeing definitely was the kind of company to have an in-house assassin team and training program... but it is possible that those fell victim to budget cuts, brain drain, and knowledge loss and now they're having to subcontract...

  • Unhiding extensions wouldn't help here, as the .lnk extension is hidden even if you unhide the others, as it's the extension for shortcut files; you have to edit an obscure registry key if you want to unhide it.

    (That said, it being a shortcut it should have the small shortcut arrow in the icon, unless you've used a third party tool or the registry to disable it, so it should still be easily recognisable as a shortcut.)
