WTF shit from her wiki: she makes no less than 30 million yen a year just from the OP to Evangelion being played in karaoke and paremovedo parlors

and

this was still somehow not enough money to prevent her, after marrying a much younger turkish man, from being dragged into debt with/by him

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 30 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

oh cool the slur filter thinks I did a racism for mentioning the stupid japanese gambling shit, good job slur filter, I'm so glad you do so great at this

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

personally i think it's funny that the slur filter is so dumb.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"paremovedo" kinda sounds like some sort of slur in itself lmao

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

If you sound out all the consonants it sounds like something a street fighter character might say when you input a dragon punch.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

At least it doesn't censor "refutation" anymore lmao.

Patinko is correct nihon-siki rōmazivery-smart

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

when I google patinko all I get are results for paremovedo!

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Could also use pachislot since pure patinko is pretty rare these days

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Reason number 783 for learning Esperanto: talking about paĉinko without setting off the slur filter.

I ran into this one recently but I was doing the bazinga badpost but it took me like 2 minutes to understand why it happened and then I realized the innocent badpost suddenly looked super offensive because of the filter since it felt like the slur was being highlighted by the filter so I removed it. Pachiya is sort of a slang for it so that works for now.

30 million yen is about $200k. It's a lot, but not debt-proof a lot.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What standard is debt proof then? You could do absolutely nothing and pay off most mortgages in 3 years.

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I guess technically no standard, since bad financial decisions can hurt anyone. But it's not like 200K a year puts you in the same galaxy of wealth as someone worth even tens of millions of dollars, much less a billionaire.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not saying 200k is infinite money, but think of it in terms of the debt that people actually get into. Like, it's normally not even possible to get into a billion-dollar debt, or even close to one. You're not just going to stumble into $100,000,000 of gambling debt.

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Sure, but if you're somewhat wealthy, a lover whom you're starry-eyed over might drag you down into debt with so-called "investment opportunities" that their cousin or something has, or things along those lines.

I'm not saying she didn't make a lot of money, I'm just saying the idea her being in debt because someone she loved conned her isn't completely insane.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

5% annual interest on $4m is 200k

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, that's how you get dragged into debt by your bf with 200k pa passive income.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

10 times my yearly income, entirely as passive income, absolutely is a debt-proof "a lot" I would actually argue it is an incredibly staggering sum, especially when that's just from one song she recorded thirty years ago

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, yes, it's enough to afford a comfortable lifestyle without having to do any other work, and that's certainly incredible, but it's not so much that some stupid investment or spending decisions by someone you love can't seriously hurt you financially.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I guess I'm just too smart to even imagine how dumb people can be with their money 😔

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can be very dumb when you're in love.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I just think I'd struggle to think of things to spend all the money on, like, I only need so many drugs

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, I'm with you there, I don't think I'd spend extravagantly if I was fabulously wealthy, because how much shit do I need? But, like, Bill Belichick bought his young girlfriend around 8 million dollars in real estate. So people do things like that.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are we talking scam or extravagant lifestyle?

yknow it didn't specify but either way it's an absolutely insane amount of money, to me, to just lose track of and get in arrears over

[–] decaptcha@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago

The compositional equivalent to walking away from a giant explosion you caused without looking, while wearing shades and dragging a cig

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Apparently she did watch the first two episodes, but evidently not the rest, which doesn't really surprise me.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Good she didn't get bummed out seeing EoE.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, that's the correct way to experience it if you must do it

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

Zankoku na tenshi no thank you

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

queen shit tbh

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's not even that long an anime lol. Banger of a song, though.

This post also made me realize I never wrote the long effort post I planned to do about why I enjoyed both endings, I liked the original end of the series more than the movies they made overall.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

This feels really perverse to me, but I assume she just got a synopsis of the content. Still, I feel like OPs are a great opportunity to express more in a work and it's kind of squandered when the writer doesn't have a chance to be familiar with it. That's a lot harder to accomplish with an original anime though . . .
