Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Worst Generation Podcast!

In this episode, we take a moment to address a heart breaking loss in the anime and cosplay community. We discuss the death of Black anime cosplayer squidkid1111, who tragically took her own life after enduring racial abuse. We reflect on the impact of online hate, the responsibility of fandom spaces, and why conversations around racism and mental health cannot be ignored.

After that heavy but necessary discussion, we shift gears and share some positive news from our side — we’ve officially upgraded to a brand-new studio. We talk about what this level-up means for the podcast, our creative vision, and the future of the pod.

To round out the episode, we dive into one of anime’s core themes: level ups and upgrades. From power scaling and training arcs to character evolutions and personal growth, we explore how anime uses progression as a metaphor for self-improvement and how those lessons can apply to real life.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide and racial abuse. Listener discretion is advised.
