I think the most interesting dynamic is the conflict between machiavellian Masters and the various Servants the latter of whom due to being ancient heroes, god-kings, and the like, hold to ideals that are very different from those of the ones they serve, but are often no less self-serving.
I have heard really good things about it, and while the first F/SN adaptation looks pretty naff I hear they're redoing with the Fate/Zero team.
Yeah, there was an F/sn adaptation by DEEN that is very poorly animated and also of the most boring route(Fate, the first of the three routes); ufotable, who also did F/0 and Garden of Sinners, are currently doing a TV adaptation of the second of three routes(Unlimited Blade Works) and are going to do the third(Heaven's Feel) as either a movie or a series of movies; probably the latter considering the length of the material.
Right now I'm watching as a raffle contest for a Steam game is happening in a Steam group that I'm a member of.
The raffle is for a game that's base price US$4.99, current price -50% at US$2.49. (And if really matters that much, it's sort of an obscure game, and it has trading cards, so the trading cards are pretty valuable.) The game's name is Shan Gui; it's a visual novel by a Chinese devteam.
There are a hundred slots for entry into the raffle drawing. There is one prize.
The payment to enter the raffle is one trading card.
The usual price of even the least-desired and most-common trading cards...is roughly $0.06 to $0.10. A hundred of them is $6 or $10. Subtract Steam's commission for selling them on the Steam Community Market, and you get revenue of about $4 to $8.
Or you can just keep the hundred new cards around to use as fodder for other trades.
the reason people have gotten sick of the word content is oversaturation.
in almost any circumstance, being more specific about the kind of media you're referring to is possible, and the word is largely used in that context to deliberately devalue art as such.
Calling it "content" and talking about "consuming" it is the verbal version of Apple's design aesthetic. It's so sleek and businessy that it puts a lot of people off by its very nature.

Okay, I can get the devaluing of art being off-putting.
But I don't dislike Apple's aesthetic - though of late Google and Microsoft have been doing simple better than they have.

I suspect that not minding Apple's aesthetic and not minding the word "content" may go hand in hand, though I have nothing to back this up.

There's always most of my existence! That's a good thing to cite, I'd think.

is this yet another internet drama/argument/thing that i missed and now i can't use the term "content" anymore as a generic placeholder for talking about creative works?
I saw the gods in the eyes of my father on the last day he waved good-bye. I saw the gods starring at the night sky with a friend standing on lake ice. I saw god in the eyes of my nephew just minutes after his birth. I saw the gods at the end of symbol when an emptied horn made flames burst! I see the gods!
social constructs may be arbitrary but they are real because their realness is based solely in people's acting upon belief in them, not in their grounding in logic or hard facts
This is something that'll make you all immediately distrust me, but honestly? Family Guy has been very, very funny at times. The issue is that the series has no idea how to integrate humor into its plot, and it sacrifices too many things in favor of adding layers of irony and affectation to its jokes.
Hell, the joke behind the cutaway gag is pretty funny in a meta way (and relied on a delicate balance of the absurdity of cutting away from the plot along with the bizarre situations presented, and the sheer volume of the gag), but it should have stopped after the show tried going self aware, for example.
But Todd in the Shadows put it well when he said the show would throw away anything for the sake of a joke, and a lot of the times it just simply doesn't work.
I don't think it's a bad or good show, just horribly uneven. It gets crap because its issues are numerous and obvious.
Family Guy (when I watched it, though it's been a long time) was fine when it didn't try to do satire, which is why it's weird to me that everyone criticizes the cutaway gags as being what's wrong with the show.

Though now that I think about it, I'm not sure what's left of FG after you discard the cutaway gags.
And not a moment too soon
