On Reese Grey Analyzes, Reese takes a look at creations & experiences in art, media, music, & even video-games to explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, question what we believe, and learn something new. The media we consume undoubtedly impacts our lives & interactions and that doesn’t have to be an inherently good or bad thing. What is important is that there’s an awareness that we have that our minds and hearts...that we are in fact, being effected whether we like it or not. Join Reese on her journey, clutching tourist pamphlets in one hand and an iced coffee in the other. Reese will be the best tour guide she can. Sarcastic quips, apathetic meltdowns, and when you need it, reassuring hi-fives—all included.

21: Cringe Culture: Dont Fall For It | The Ethics Of Cringe

12/4/2024
If you’re familiar with the internet, you’re familiar with cringe. Or at least, I am, I have been called cringe, I mean, I even tried to wear pigtails once and my little brother called that a cursed image. And though there is a modern Gen Z attempt to reclaim the word cringe, such as the phrase although I am cringe, I am free. But, if you’re called cringe, you know it has deep, deep negative connotation. And researching cringe through an academic perspective brings up a whole bunch of fun articles we can learn from. If there’s one thing people are terrified of, it’s being genuine. This trend in enjoying things “ironically” is a safe place to exist because if nothings taken seriously you’re safe. So, let's talk about that :) Support the show Reese Grey Socials!

The Internet Lied to Me About Bunny Girl Senpai: Video Essay

11/12/2023
The Japanese animation industry takes on some very mature topics. So, you’d see an anime titled “Bunny Girl Senpai” and immediately think…”fanservice trash”. But conceptually, the anime handles very complex themes such as depression, loneliness and struggling to find a healthy sense of self during puberty, and all in all had the promise of being a pretty wholesome and complex show. Culturally, we’re taught to largely ignore emotional pain and scars. Many teens learn that in adolescence, you must simply endure emotional pain and not necessarily heal from it. Seeing the depth of these emotional issues manifested physically with scars and invisibility gives us perspective into the severity of emotional pain. I appreciate anime as a visual medium that can take those abstract feelings of loneliness and “feeling invisible” and personify them by physically effecting the characters bodies. Though Bunny girl Senpai left a lot to be desired, I appreciate it. A lot of the time, in many different art mediums, we are used to seeing characters be blindly infatuated with one another with characters lacking chemistry and basically falling in love for no reason. However between Mai and Sakuta their connection and intimacy hinges on something as innocent and mundane as simply spending time together, and studying for a test. These simple and seeminngly mundane moments can leave us with something beautiful, intimate, and real. Though cliche, at the end of the day, appreciating simple moments of togetherness is such a special part about being human, and it’s these small shared intimate moments that makes us—-us.

19: Anime Uses Meta Sexualization As An Excuse to Objectify: Evangelion & Danganronpa

4/14/2023
Hello my loves. Timestamps 0:00 Intro & Life Update + Content Warning 2:33 Is Sexualizing/Objectifying Characters OK because they aren't real people? 4:08 Japan's "Soft Power" & How Anime Can Effect Real Life 6:04 Making Anime "Political" 7:27 Sexualization is Subjective Objectification is Not 9:09 The Evangelion Hospital Scene 14:09 Asuka Can't Sleep Scene 15:53 The Subjectivity of what is "Appropriate" Critiquing the way anime sexualizes characters, mostly women, and albeit — very young women, isn’t something that is particularly new or revolutionary to the video essay or critical analysis space. However, what we don’t hear discussed as often is the use of “meta-sexualization” in anime. A simple definition of meta-sexualization explains sexualization of a character for narrative’s sake, or comedy sake, so basically any sexualization of a character that is not necessarily strictly for fan-service or viewer pleasure. Parallel to the conversation of sexualization of characters we also have the conversation of what constitutes as a legitimate plot point and/or character motivation when it comes to a characters sexualization. This is where we get into conversations about morality and things begin to be much more subjective. Overall, this leads to the conversation of when is the depiction of sexual abuse, rape, and manipulation appropriate and respectful for a narrative basis and in what ways is disrespectful, unneeded or in some cases, fetishization. In the video essay below we discuss specific scenes in Evangelion & Dangonrompa that explore the conscious artistic decisions that lead to the viewers subconscious normalization of sexual content and asks if anime’s pattern of adding extreme sexualization could possibly be a commentary on the sexualization of anime girls in itself (truly meta) or is it explicit for explicit sake. As it’s easy to simply test the boundaries within anime because anime is a medium where boundaries of sexual exploitation are most easily tested on not-real people. Creations in art, media, music, & videogames influence how and why we think the way we think. explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, and often, entertainment is diminished into an activity that is done passively instead of one to ponder and learn from, so when someone expects more from artists or creators or questions artistic decisions, the opposition is quick to reply with “chill, it’s just a song/movie/show”, and it is. But nothing artistic breathes air that is value neutral. Reese Grey Socials! Visit Reese Grey.com for Sourcenotes, Full Transcripts, Videos & More Instagram:https://www.instagra Support the Show.

Hey Guys :) Join me as we analyze TikTok creator Mol & "Karen" Memes. Mol is a LGBTQ TikTok influencer who was recently "cancelled" via unfounded sexual assault allegations via TikTok. His mannerisms and speech patterns are mocked, as well as his content highly criticized. We'll use Mol's TikTok account as a case study to analyze why people choose to hate and bully, and if the public ridicule is in this case, or any case for that matter, is deserved or not. We'll also be analyzing the Karen meme, and why middle aged ;white ladies fall under this stereotype of inherent entitlement. We explore the social implications of white privilege and how it intersects in popular culture and comedy. 0:00 Intro (Chit Chat about Mcdonalds Coffee & my cat) 2:41 Why Bullying Isn't Just for Children, But Adults Too. 6:16 Analyzing Mol | LGBTQ TikTok Creator 10:06 Exploring Academic Studies on WHY People Bully 14:09 "But I Didn't Mean to Hurt Them" 18:39 The Compassionate View of the Human Beings Behind the Karen Meme 23:56 The Desire To Put People In Boxes 25:16 Anecdotes on the Karen Meme 29:12 Bai Bai, Leave Your Comments in Chinese Support the Show.

16: What Makes A Country "Unrecognized" Transnistria, Somaliland & The Principality of Sealand

1/15/2023
Whether you want to start your own country, or wonder why others have such a difficult time being recognized in international law, there are a lot of politics that goes into the recognition of statehood. There are currently 195 countries in the world that are recognized by the United Nations, however there are countless others all over the world who are struggling to advocate for their people and independence of their land. Territories like Somaliland are rich in culture and have history of war and conflict while other territories such as the principality of sealand exist as more of a fun little place to call their own. Life is complicated and extremely dependent on not only individualistic belief, but communal ones as well. A country's boarders can exist because we agree they have legitimacy, and a territory can be internationally regarded as non-sovereign for the simple fact that the majority of people believe it shouldn't. The fact that our collective beliefs make abstract concepts tangible is something that is as equally beautiful as it is terrifying. Join me on today's adventure to question why we think the way we think and learn something new. 0:00 Intro (What Makes a Country a Country anyway?) 5:35 Transnistria 11:20 Somaliland 13:50 Principality of Sealand 17:33 Fun Facts On Political Recognition 21:25 Closing Thoughts On Our Little Adventure Support the Show.
