Well this has been a hectic week so to speak, particularly within the vein of anime with the filing of the Vic Mignogna v. Funimation lawsuit. However, I am wanting to approach this from the possible consequences of this event. How this would change defamation law interpretations, how this might give the falsely accused more ways to fight back, and perhaps even the potential abolition of the social media inquisition mentality that has been spurred by third wave feminists for the past decade?…
Breaking the Narrative 118: Little Girls Are Not Innocent Princesses! Breaking a Review of Rule of Rose!
In the spirit of being unpredictable I want to pull out a rare game as a way to show why the censorship of media is inherently troublesome. This is an example of a game that has been banned in multiple countries across the world, and was targeted with a ban attempt here in the states, though to no serious avail.…

Breaking the Narrative Episode 115: Revisiting the Shield Hero! Interesting Parallels.
Its been another interesting week with the ending of February. However I wish to go back to Rise of the Shield Hero because I decided to take a peek ahead in the light novel due to how the anime is going. Oooh boy did I find something interesting. Considering how I’ve been getting fairly good at breaking down individual characters I looked specifically at the false accuser Myne Sophia also known as Malty Melromarc – Princess of the Kingdom of Melromarc.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 114: The Chad Who Became A Virgin! A Character Overview of Jerid Messa!
Well the situation from last article has grown very out of control and it’s probably going to get even more intense as we go on… so much so that I have gotten a bit caught up in trying to help research things to aid in the issue. However, despite the fight for the innocent going on, I still have my own job to do, my own stuff to break down.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 113: False Accusations Are Here Again: Vic Mignogna Is Innocent!

Breaking the Narrative Episode 112: Whats in a Name? An Overview of Zeta Gundam’s Kamille Bidan.
Well here we go from outcast to outcast as we delve back into Zeta Gundam’s characters. Again, as with Char, I will state that I’ll likely do a full review of the Zeta Gundam anime before the first of April. The reason for that is because in addition to around that time marking my full third year on this site, it marks the 40th anniversary of the Gundam metaseries franchise. …
