  • Yeah that makes sense. Unfortunately if it’s the maturity that’s appealing, then anything that’s ‘age appropriate’ may seem uncool by comparison.

    I guess with Pokemon, the trick could be just to put episodes on anyway and see if that can supplant whatever other shows she may have previously zeroed in on. There’s a reason why Pokemon is as popular as it is.

    If the show doesn’t have to be recent but still would need to be that sword fighter type of anime, you could try to introduce shows like Rurouni Kenshin or Inuyasha when appropriate. There’s still violence but not on the level of Demon Slayer. You can check the Parents’ Guide (this one for Inuyasha) on IMDB for advice on content and themes. I guess it’s up to you to determine what’s right for your child, so please don’t take these as out and out recommendations.

    Edit: It turns out there’s a 2023 remake of Rurouni Kenshin. Here’s the Parents’ Guide for that series.




  • All g. We probably wouldn’t call them buzzwords, since that implies that they’re ephemeral or faddish.

    More often than not we’re using terminology that is specific to the left, or defined differently in leftist academia and discourse to the common usage (see, liberal, imperialism, etc.).

    If you’re unsure about the meaning of a given word, it’s worth searching online first, then asking further in your replies if it still doesn’t make sense. Citing your sources is invaluable so you and your interlocutor can interrogate the same info and talk from the same page. We have a (relatively inactive) comm for these types of questions too, and a space for neurodiverse members too.

    I don’t have autism so feel wary giving specific advice on how to navigate. However I do find that signalling -why- you are asking a certain question (as you have done elsewhere in this thread), and providing further context, can help people understand your thinking behind a given comment or post, and may help against them assuming the worst and responding with a knee jerk reaction. We get many people trying to cause trouble (‘wreckers’) and some people consider it better to shoot first and ask questions later, since it saves time if the person turns out to be malicious.

    I was fortunate to have lurked for a very long time, way back to r/srs and the r/srs rehab equivalent comm. It’s been a long journey but I’m glad you’re asking the same question I had around then, as it shows self awareness.

    Have a good one.
