Is there a community dedicated to anime where sexualization of characters is minimum and strictly no sexualization of minors (or minor looking "adults")?
I'm a casual anime fan, my main references being Ghibli, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bepop etc, in general, I like good art and good scenario.
So I want to follow discussions about this type of anime.
However, I am very uncomfortable at the countless anime that sexualize minors (and minor looking supposedly adults) or over sexualized women.
Is there a community for this interest?
I am too much of a casual to animate such community myself.

NSPM-7, the spying executive order you've never heard of
NSPM-7 is fundamentally a law enforcement directive, and it dispenses with the complications of using the active duty military or the National Guard in pursuit of political violence. It directs the Department of Justice to focus the FBI’s approximately 200 Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) to the new mission. The FBI network of task forces comprises over 4,000 members—including FBI personnel and task force officers (or TFOs) from more than 500 state and local agencies and 50 federal agencies, including special agents, police officers, intelligence analysts and surveillance technicians. First established in New York City in 1980 to systematize FBI and NYPD cooperation, today there are task forces around the country, including at least one in each of the FBI’s 55 field offices.“The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder,” NSPM-7 says.

In Gaza, there was joy but much anxiety. Many expressed the fear that the new deal would collapse, bringing more suffering to the devastated territory. Though crowds gathered in some places to dance and sing, in many places witnesses reported muted reaction amid loud overflights by warplanes and drones.In Israel, on a day of fast-moving and sometimes chaotic developments, hospitals readied to receive hostages to be released by Hamas, the ruling coalition government signed off on the new ceasefire deal and thousands took to the streets of Tel Aviv to express joy and relief.
Late on Thursday evening, a statement from the government said it had “just approved the framework for the release of all the hostages – both the living and the deceased”.

Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats
Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night.
By Sharon Otterman
Published Oct. 8, 2025 Updated Oct. 9, 2025, 2:54 AM ET
In the weeks after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, he has become a target of right-wing hate, accused of being a part of the movement he studied. Jack Posobiec, a right-wing influencer, called Dr. Bray a “domestic terrorist professor” on X. The Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA then circulated a petition accusing Dr. Bray of being an “outspoken, well-known antifa member” and called for him to be fired.The petition referred to him as “Dr. Antifa.”
“My role in this is as a professor,” Dr. Bray, an assistant teaching professor at Rutgers, said in an interview on Wednesday, hours before his planned departure. “I’ve never been part of an antifa group, and I’m not currently. There’s an effort underway to paint me as someone who is doing the things that I’ve researched, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Advice on deciding what goes on a personally-identifiable portfolio and what stays pseudonymous?
![stupid_asshole69 [none/use name]](images/person-80.jpg)
Anything tied to your existence, like domain names, professional or academic work, companies registered in your name, voting records, social media (lemmy is social media, Reddit is social media), depictions of yourself, legal records, publicly owned property or documents in your name (like a license plate and by extension the car attached to it) and probably stuff like that should be on your personally identifiable portfolio.
E: work completed under a pseudonym with someone else should also go on it and that pseudonyms use should be discontinued.
CBC interviewed an Ukrainian soldier, and his tattoos may or may not come as a shock to you
They subsequently edited their own video to blur one of his two swastika tattoos, without any editorial note explaining what they are blurring and why. The 2nd partly obscured one is still partially visible, just to the left of blurring. That's basically an admission that they know exactly what they're doing there.
Famicom Disk Writer Kiosk Advert
Coinciding with the Disk System's release, Nintendo installed several "Disk Writer" kiosks in various toy and electronic stores across the country. These kiosks allowed customers to bring in their disk games and have a new game rewritten onto them for a ¥500 fee; blank disks could also be purchased for ¥2000. Nintendo then decided to make an early form of online gaming; In 1987, they introduced special high-score tournaments for specific Disk System games, where players could submit their scores directly to Nintendo via "Disk Fax" machines found in retail stores. Winners would receive exclusive prizes, including Famicom-branded stationery sets and a gold-colored Punch-Out!! cartridge. Nintendo of America announced plans to release the Disk System for the Famicom's international counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System, and began filing patents simultaneously. However, by the time these were approved in November 1988, Nintendo cancelled their plans to release the system stateside.

What are the chances that this gets passed? It should be a vote from the people, but they know we don't want it. But if they pass it there and no one riots, they'll pass it everywhere.
This is something no one should allow. VPNs are the backbone of security in businesses. Not just work from home. We would be wide open to cyber attacks, with no defenses.

Children face unbearable suffering under settler colonial Israel

Ramez Al-Naouq, a child living in Gaza, was born with a severe congenital deformity in his upper and lower eyelids, which prevent him from closing his eyes even while he is sleeping.His eyes constantly bleed, become ulcerated and inflamed, and put him at risk of permanent blindness.
thecanary.co/wp-content/upload…
Before the Israeli occupation’s genocide on the Gaza Strip, Al-Naouq received ointments and eye drops to keep his eyes moisturised and reduce the inflammation. But his treatment has now completely stopped because of the ongoing blockade and severe shortage of medicines. As a result his condition has dramatically worsened.
Although Ramez urgently needs complex operations to repair his eyelids and protect his vision, doctors in Gaza are not able to carry out the necessary surgeries, because of a lack of medical resources.
Rateb
Rateb is a child amputee in Gaza. He has been trying hard to make a plastic limb for himself, so he can play with other children. He lost his leg after the Israeli occupation forces bombed a car a few months ago.thecanary.co/wp-content/upload…
There are hundreds of children like Rateb in Gaza, who have lost upper or lower limbs, and are left permanently disabled because of injuries sustained during this genocide. These become infected and, because poor nutrition slows healing and antibiotics are intentionally being prevented from entering the Strip, sepsis sets in, leaving no other option but amputation.
Child amputees have a lifetime of disability and a very uncertain future ahead of them. Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita anywhere in the world, with 10 children, every single day for the past two years losing one or both of their legs.
Hanna
Hanaa Al-Awdi, was a Palestinian child who developed brain cancer during the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and also suffered from brain atrophy which had already taken away her sight and hearing. The Israeli occupation’s complete blockade of the besieged Gaza Strip meant there was a delay in her travel for treatment abroad, so her condition became significantly worse. This left her body unable to withstand the disease, and although she was eventually able to travel to Italy for treatment, she recently passed away in an Italian hospital with stage four brain cancer, which had spread throughout her body.
These children mentioned here are not unique in Gaza. There are thousands who are suffering and left to die, slowly and painfully, without anyone hearing about them. The Israeli regime has intentionally bombed hospitals to bring about the collapse of Gaza’s health care system, while the ongoing intentional blockade prevents the entry of everything necessary for the survival of the Palestinian population, including medicine and fuel. Dozens of children have also experienced severe deterioration in their health, or have already lost their lives, because of delays in medical evacuation by the Israeli occupation authorities.

Chicagoans mobilize to demand an end to the federal occupation
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/78147
Chicago, IL – On October 8, 7000 Chicagoans mobilized in the Loop to demand an end to the occupation of the city by ICE and the National Guard.
The thousands of people coming out on a Wednesday evening shows that the momentum of the resistance against Trump’s occupation is not slowing down. Chicago is in the center of this country’s fight back against Trump’s reactionary agenda, alongside LA and DC.
“We must build the largest united front against the invasion of our city and state. We need to escalate our defense and go on the offensive! To block the movement of the National Guard and shut down ICE operations,” opened Husam Marajda of the United States Palestinian Community Network (USPCN). He urged people to join the movement and get involved with an organization.
“What we are seeing is an administration that is sending troops in to scare us into silence. To punish dissent. And we will not allow that here in the city of Chicago,” said Jessie Fuentes, the progressive Puerto Rican alderperson of the 26th ward of Chicago. On October 3, Fuentes was violently arrested by racist ICE agents after she had confronted them over planned kidnappings of people in the Humboldt Park Hospital. Fuentes stood in solidarity with protesters and has promised to continue fighting for immigrants in the City Council.
Frank Chapman, executive director of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, spoke last at the rally. He challenged the crowd, stating, “We have to stop these ICE agents.” The ICE occupation has killed Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. This past weekend, Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen, was shot by federal agents, but survived. Chapman addressed these acts, saying, “We have to use every means necessary to stop those who come here to kill us; who come here to occupy.”
Chapman finished with, “We had a peaceful demonstration, but when we’re violently attacked, we have the right to defend ourselves!”
Protesters marched down Michigan Avenue, making it clear that Chicagoans are not licking boots, and they are ready to take down Trump and his long repressive agenda.
Join the resistance!
The Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA) is a coalition of over 80 organizations building a united front against the reactionary Trump administration. The Trump administration is coming after all sectors of the people’s movements. It’s the coalition’s goal to unite these movements in action against the reactionary Trump agenda.

1 year of symmetrical fiber. Sharing is caring.
These stats capture 1 year of torrenting on a TrueNas scale machine I built as soon as fiber showed up on my street. It was my first ever proper rack mount server. I use this machine primarily for torrenting and jellyfin transcoding via an RTX 2080. The plan is to soon set it up for navidrome. Machine sits around 230 watts. Feel free to offer TrueNas scale tips.
Quite odd cpu choice for the job.
True, it's still a beast, although very power inefficient when idle.
Rtx2080 on a top of that adds even more power consumption.
Your gear consuming 230W with 4 disks.
For comparison my one with core i5-13500, 5x hdd, 1x ssd, but 1x nvme.... 55W average over the years.

On the topic of 'hills to die on', I will say I have gained a significant respect for you over the last 2 years, for sticking to your principles on this and following through on them.
We might disagree on the best way to do things. I'd witnesed you in the past receiving a lot of pushback (to put it lightly) for a well-intentioned but controversially implemented project (the whole Reddit mirroring and account claiming thing you tried). If I had been in your shoes at the time, I would probably have quit Lemmy and the Fediverse entirely for something else in order to try to pursue that vision. Yet, you've stayed with it, with the aim to refine your ideas on how to better bring decentralized social media to the general public. So kudos to you for your resoluteness on this.
I agree with everything. The thing is, I've been thinking about the psychology behind this lately.
When Fedi-Fans complain about Bluesky, it is usually based on the misunderstanding that it also is instance based. It really doesn't seem to occur to many that things might be done differently. But I think it may go a little deeper.
A common complaint is that it's too expensive to run a full relay. People want to self-host it all. They want to feel that they are in control and don't need anyone. It's not particularly rational but people do lots of silly things chasing that feeling. The rational start would be to move somewhere remote and grow your own food. Instead, people buy a pick-up truck or degoogle their phone.
That architecture also appeals to a more tribal mindset. An instance is "our" place. We just pull up the drawbridge when bad people come and we are safe here in "our" castle.
I think to some people that is more appealing than the more open design of atproto.
On Bluesky, there is all this waffle about some people trying to get someone banned. They might find such tribal architecture more appealing.
London pension fund accused of investing in firms linked to ‘genocide’ against Palestinians: Report
A new report has accused London’s £34 billion ($45.43 billion) public sector pension fund of investing billions in companies allegedly complicit in Israel’s human rights abuses against Palestinians, Anadolu reports.
The Blood Money report, released Thursday by the campaign group Shake The CIV, claims that the London Collective Investment Vehicle (LCIV) — which manages £34.2 billion on behalf of 32 London local authorities — has over £7 billion ($9 billion) invested in firms “enabling Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights.”
The fund represents the deferred wages of around 700,000 Londoners.

Thoughts on Rishi taking up jobs at Microsoft and Anthropic?
Apparently he plans to "donate his earnings to a charity he founded", which makes sense, given that his family is already worth around £640 million.
Also Rishi apparently already has a job with Goldman Sachs in addition to another existing job of his: remaining the MP for Richmond and Northallerton in Yorkshire.

Federal judge in Chicago finds ICE repeatedly violated consent decree over ‘warrantless arrests’
In his opinion, which extended the consent decree until February, the judge lifted all conditions of release for 11 people detained in the Chicago area who were subjected to warrantless arrests, and ordered ICE to produce names, detainee tracking information known as “A-numbers,” and arrest documents for anyone arrested in the northern Illinois without warrants since June.

Dominion, Company at Center of False 2020 Voting Conspiracies, Is Sold to Liberty Vote for Undisclosed Amount
Liberty Vote announced the acquisition in a brief news release that proclaimed the mission of the new company would be “to restore public confidence in the electoral process.” It featured language favored by conservatives, professing to “improve election integrity in America” and “leveraging hand-marked paper ballots enabling compliance with President Trump’s executive order,” a reference to the president’s effort in March to overhaul electoral processes that has been largely blocked by courts.
The founder of Liberty Vote, Scott Leiendecker, is a former Republican election official from St. Louis with years of experience in elections. He also is the chief executive officer of KNOWiNK, a company that produces electronic poll books, digital devices that are used across the country to help election workers upload and maintain voter rolls at voting sites. In July, KNOWiNK announced that its Poll Pad “was the first electronic poll book to earn certification from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.”
