centrally-unplanned is a fan who writes detailed history meta essays of Japanese fandom and internet culture. They are active on Tumblr and Substack
Example Works
- Daicon Film's “Aikoku Sentai Dai Nippon” Controversy & The Otaku Dawn (Substack link )
- The internet is amazing for sociological research in that it is the ultimate double-edged sword..., about the opportunities and pitfalls of using fan content for historical and sociologial research. Also a good discussion of Fredart.com, an early fansite by Megatokyo author Fred Gallagher, compares how fansite ethos and culture have changed since then.
- A personal fascination I have discussed before is a kind of ‘cultural obsolescence’; about eras of Youtube video essays
- octopus pie epilogue meta
- Scott Pilgrim posts

- oh i guess the Impromanga post was [[discoursedrome]: https://discoursedrome.tumblr.com/post/736746535333789696/im-really-curious-about-this-honestly-im (part 2)

- acafan hentai commentary
- I have a particular affection for the ways non-cultural designs & choices can create cultural artifacts. Anyone remember ToHeart2?, Archived version about the UI of Danbooru leading to unlikely lasting influence of ToHeart2 in eroge art
- The prompt for this is Orange, a start-up AI company pledging to build an automated pipeline for translating manga (w/ human editors on top).
- But this stance expressed properly is pretty much fine, as the Social Network has a version of the “Fight Club Problem”. about how The Social Network implicitly endorses the character arc that people think it was written to condemn
- Since its on the dash due to the re-watch, one of my Hot Takes is that ATLA is not a very good show. -- analysis of ATLA but also placing its context in other well-known western animated shows of the 2000s, such as She-Ra, Futurama, Rick and Morty
