The most recent anime I watched was A Silent Voice on Netflix, btw, where I felt obligated to watch the English dub because that was the one that cast a Deaf actress to play the Deaf character (It was very good in general, so back off dub haters)

I guess I'll branch off into a tangent about that movie, which hit me really hard happening to watch it after the finales of The Good Place and Bojack Horseman Like it's a whole movie about desperately trying to recover from realizing you're a shitty human being who hurts people

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the message of the movie (which is clearly heavily compressed from a much longer manga) It trades a lot on making a disabled character a pure innocent victim and so forth But just in the emotional execution it was really powerful

I just wish A Silent Voice centered it’s Deaf character more.

The movie earns some points back from me in the ending where we realize she was going through her own incredible suffering and psychodrama offscreen and even in his attempt at redemption he was too self-involved to really understand what was going on with her

Like here's the important thing in the "cancel culture" reading of the movie - "Getting someone canceled" isn't actually a great feeling, long term It doesn't really benefit you It often just makes things worse

For someone who happens to have a personality averse to conflict like Shoko the knowledge that "You ruined somebody's life" just adds to her trauma
