If you’re looking for more information about our releases or plans, you’re looking in the wrong place. But if you’re looking for opinions on things that tend to be somewhat related to what you would expect to see here, you might be looking in the right place.

The views expressed on this page are the opinions of the authors and, since those authors are members of Mezashite, they do necessarily reflect the views of Mezashite, either in part or in whole.

We are not responsible for any anguish you may or may not feel, and there is the possibility that we will only respond to your pain with laughter. Now that you have been debriefed, try to enjoy without taking anything too seriously— it’s just the internet.
