Mary Poppins

I'd like to talk about Mary Poppins as a person.

As we all know, this lady has the title of "all-perfect, super-friendly, imaginative nanny", but when I look at her, I see an angry woman who rather avoids having fun and only uses her witchcraft to get children off of their asses to clean up their room.
Let's be realistic here, so far we can be in a movie like "Mary Poppins", and look at how Mary would stand on her own without the help of her friend, Bert.

She wouldn't. She's boring.

Bert would've been a more fun nanny for these two children than Mary; he is the one who started these adventures. If he didn't, o-so-perfect Poppins would've stayed at home.

She is far from nice and far from perfect. Mary Poppins is like a grumpy old teacher; strict and grey. I don't get why people are charmed by her.

Atheists

There are extremists for everything.

As I am a "Satan-worshipping nonbeliever" myself (though wondering how I can worship something I don't believe in), naturally I appreciate someone who shares the same thought more than somebody who doesn't.
That's how life works; we all feel more comfortable with people who are like us. That's why racism and discrimination will never leave this world.

Just like religious people, Atheists have the urge to act like they know best. But what I've noticed is that Atheists usually have a negative approach on everything. While religion has the casual "you'll burn in Hell, but I'll pray for you and that way pretend to care", there are these Atheists who often say or do something that's just purely insulting and mocking another religion. They should leave it to "I don't believe" and not "you're all fucking nuts, God doesn't fucking exist, just look at all the fucking proof, that's why I fucking don't believe".

If you are so certain of your case, then good for you. Some people obviously don't care; they read the about same "revolutionary" discoveries as you, and it still didn't change their mind. You repeating what already has been said is not going to make a difference. The same goes for religion and their Bibles.

It's like these people live on making fun of other people, while there are multiple other ways to show you are Atheist without bringing someone down. Though you could also say most religious people are only this verbally "calm" to stay on a good level with their Lord. But instead of overactive swearing, they put all their energy in converting people, preaching, quoting the Bible, bombing the shit out of them, or looking up these religion-insulting articles and artwork and complain about them.

It's both equally annoying, but I would expect Atheists to be better. Of course people stay people.

Next to these "extremists", there are also people who claim to be Atheist, but still say they believe in a possible higher power, Heaven/Hell or anything else reserved to religion. These jerkoffs should get a dictionary and look up the definition of "Atheist". They are not Atheists.

And did you notice how I also bashed Christians in this article while I was aiming for Atheists? That's also an Atheist feature.

Anime

A little while ago I was reminded I hate anime and manga, as a boy approached me on the matter:
"Can you tell me why you hate anime?"

"Because it's cheap.
All the characters have the exact same faces, just a different eye/hair colour and hairdo.
And their mouths never match the words they're saying.""But, It's not that bad drawing anime. You are really good at drawing anime and you should be an anime artist. I think should give it a shot."

"Just because I can doesn't mean I should.
I only draw manga when I'm trying to prove a point or make fanart for an anime I like. But I'm never really encouraged to draw manga just for the heck of it; entire Deviantart is already infested with uninspired manga art and I don't think I should add to that.

Especially in these days there's no value in this drawing style, at all. When people can't draw a cartoon character in its own true style, they always lower themselves in turning them into manga characters."

And this conversation says it all.
Now that doesn't mean I don't appreciate any anime series, but when talking about the style alone, it makes me puke.
