I think if you told western men to do the same at home as in the stadium, they'd sit around watching sports while getting drunk.
Which, gotta hand it to the boomers, they were ahead of the Japanese

The English translation is kinda mediocre imo. The word "unpaid" doesn't come in expressly or implied.
Personally, I see it as a side effect of the workaholic culture, being unable to divide housework fairly when one or both partners are overworked is bad for both.

One Punch Man season 3 was pretty sloppy.

I don't think it's AI, AI would've fucked up the characters and the numbers on the scarf and Jersey.

It's AI. The woman who originally posted it on Xitter even noted it in the alt text of the image.

Way to scrounge up the original! Hats off to your tracking skills.

Edit: I was wrong, thanks to the commenter who checked the alt text on twitter where it discloses being ai :)
I agree. Literally the only detail I can find that feels smudged or vague at all is the far back right jersey numbers, and they're pretty small. All the details feel like they were drawn by an actual artist when you look at the hands and feet, or the dishes in the sink, etc.I think folks just feel like this simple stylization feels AI, but I don't think it actually is...usrtrv@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 60d
Characters might have been added after the fact. Look at the pattern on the clothes bin, jersey in the back, the guy's pants who's sitting down. Those are the most obvious tells. There are more subtle things that artists wouldn't typically draw certain ways as well. It's definitely AI.

also just the artstyle, it's of course not something you should use to say "this IS ai" but at this point the vast majority of artists would avoid this style due to it being claimed by image generators

Yeah, dude in the back's jersey is seriously peeling.

It's going to get to a point where sports supporters will decide not to travel because they don't want to have to do the cleanup after the game. They have checkmated themselves clean. That way the old ball and chain at home won't stay this uppity about an equal share of housework too! Where does she get these crazy ideas from?
BTW Japanese people litter too. They just won't do it when there are TV cameras on them.

That's not the Japanese way.

Yeah the whole cleanup thing in the World Cup/Olympics is very fake and obviously trying to cause a good impression
Rentlar@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 61d
It's not fake as in at domestic sports matches they trash the place. As a culture they take collective responsibility to keep public spaces clean.
However, it is true that "keeping up external appreances" is quite ingrained in Japanese culture, which is where the disconnect with keeping the home clean vs. outside can come from.
