Pretty indifferent, honestly, considering the only decent manga in WSJ during the 00s and 10s were Part 1 OP, Hunter X Hunter and Death Note (as well as I guess Part 1 Nerutu), as well as Stone Ocean, and the masses always hype up what panders to the lowest common denominator (eg. MHA). Not much to say about it other than that the 80s and 90s were a much better time to read Jump.

Not much to say about it. Giving Robin some focus was nice, as was her being smart enough not to have her wander into somewhere of risk unprepared, though it does make her shock at getting caught in the previous chapter a tad inconsistent. Komarasaki is now all but explicitly stated to be Oden's daughter, which was painfully obvious from the moment Momonosuke set it up. Orochi proves himself to be a dumb jabroni, which is a shame when he had the potential to be a well constructed sub-villain with the position he had.

[mention]GreatSaiyaman123[/mention] The instrumentals are great and the lyrics are a decent tale of how a person is usually perceived different by others than what they consider their true self. Not overly deep a message, but still well done.

[mention]Pocket-Gog~[/mention] I wouldn't say the movie was terrible. It's nowhere near as good as the masses make it out to be or that influential when we've already had fairly violent superhero films before it (eg. Blade), but it did well and served its purpose as being a decent superhero comedy.

As for Deadpool the character, he's OK in small doses and when viewed in a vacuum as unapologetic dumb fun. As far as 4th wall breakers go, he's one of the better ones as he stays consistently meta with the tone never getting too serious, rather than him getting rewritten into playing his part without meta knowledge when the plot demands it like some referential characters (*cough*Gintoki*cough*).
At the same time, there's not much you can do with him when all he is at his core is a gag character there to poke fun at things and being a conduit for whatever traits the writers want to plug in. That said, anything beyond his origin story and highlights are just forgettable dumb fun and the only story involving him is the one where he solos the Marvelverse since it at least actually utilises his fourth-wall breaking in the plot as a mental disorder.
Deadpool's not :trash, but is overall quite a mediocre character when used too much.

5/10

Maybe needles due to bad hospital experiences, but not much else comes to mind.

Thoughts on intersectionality?
Just a poor way for the "progressive" left to expand their agenda and create more to complain about through pretentious overthinking.

How do you feel about white women tending to look on average some 5-10 years older than Asian and black women, and continuing to tan away regardless (like German women for instance)?

Makes my attraction to Asian women just become more skewered in their favour. It is a shame that white women go so far to retain their looks they go through procedures that, if anything, hinder them.

When do you think the West will move on from genderfluid bullshit and similar stupidity in general?

With how ingrained it now is within modern society, it'd probably take nothing short of a revolution or complete change in civilisation to set things back to the status-quo.
That honestly doesn't seem too far off though, since it's a running trend that most societies are at their most degenerate in the last part of their era (eg. Roman Empire and Ancient Greece at the time they started normalising paedophilia), so some major societal change seems inevitable in the near future.
