Many are familiar with the comedic scene from Tina Fey’s film Mean Girls in which the P.E. teacher dramatically says “Don’t have sex, because you will get pregnant and die! Don’t have sex in the missionary position, don’t have sex standing up, just don’t do it, ok, promise?” The sent...

It had been several month since the first whispers of a new movie theatre. Day after day as I was taking the salon’s trash out I would try to peer beyond the brown deli paper that covered the glass doors. Then one night, to my excitement, a poster topped the paper announcing the open house and grand...

I Hate Anime

Dane Dorius, Weeb In Denial

December 14, 2017


Filed under Opinion, Showcase

I hate anime. I certainly like some, but the medium on average is trash pandering to lonely otaku and pedophiles.

  I will start by stating that it is in my very nature to rejoice and be glad. I need not elaborate the cause for these sentiments other than to simply say that life is, in itself, very good.   However, it is apparent to me, and those closest to me, that my continued bliss has been pitif...
