I cried a bit, we almost NEVER get south Asian characters on tv that are not tropes, or that are expected to be different by catering to white fantasies/fetishes and aligning with them, or who run on making fun of immigrant SA’s.

We can, but it’ll be -5 to your humanity point total because of the nano-injections.

I think it’s a ‘death by a thousand cuts’ thing. Combined with the blatant stereotypes folks previewing the game have called out and their history of anti-trans messaging (purposeful or not) folks assumed the worse.

I think it gets complicated by the company’s context of botching so much of social media and some of the rumblings from the show floor about how this latest demo was handling race. That’s a problem with the genre as a whole, but it doesn’t sound like 2077 is approaching that sort of thing with the greatest sense of…

E3 was plagued with “Influencer” advertising. It made me want to go outside and yell at a cloud. I’m sure the youngins enjoyed the ‘Oh my goodness! That is so-and-so!’ moments, but for me it was just annoying padding that was distracting from game reveals.

And the right gets so damn hard for objectively evil people.

Yeah, it’s simply that they “don’t like a movie,” there’s not a simmering cauldron of underlying misogyny or anything, there, guy. Good take.

Yet they still let blow-hards who are racists, bigots and misogynists get top billing if they have enough followers. For me, the first thing that shows up when you put in Captain Marvel is a whole bunch of misogynistic anti-sjw asshats who take great pride in gaslighting people with the mounds of fucking bullshit they…

There is no difference between “Actually racist” and “just being racist for a reaction”.

I’m reasonably certain that “Homo Demons” is meant as a species-variation name (like Homo Erectus, Homo Sapiens, etc.), rather than any sort of untoward reference.

...then again, this is the man who gave us about the most eighth-grade bit of wish-fulfillment pablum ever to explain Quiet’s mode of dress, and who…

“He decided as a child that he wanted to be wealthy after watching the post-apocalyptic movie Soylent Green, where the sole rich character dines on steak instead of liquified people. “I decided then and there I wanted to be the person who ate steak,” he said.”

I saw a great post on reddit about how Drogon’s scene can be read 2 different ways. Either he’s incredibly smart and he destroyed the throne knowing it was Dany’s pursuit of the throne that led ultimately to her death, or he’s an idiot and he saw that she had a knife in her and burned the knife-y chair that must have…

Apropos of nothing, but I mentally insert, at the end of each of your posts, “I WIN AGAIN, LEWS THERIN.”

That, or she had it made long ago. I mean, if you fail your push for the throne, paying for a big-ass blanket you won’t use is the least of your problems.

Where did Dany get that giant-ass House Targaryen sigil banner? It was crazy-quick to get it hung in the smoking ruins of King’s Landing that fast, let alone sewn.

Grothak largely disappointed in perpetuation of negative lizard stereotypes. Series had strong lizard representation, but then one become ice monster, second is papier mache monster, and third unstoppable killing machine before become unstoppable emo machine.

I think we need a term for the level to which an artist can explain their work before they ruin it.

So, after eight seasons, the theme of the show is basically “bitches be crazy (or victims).”

Actually, I still think the greatest (not to mention funniest) plot hole, as mentioned on these boards, is how Captain America got the Reality Stone back into Jane during the events of Thor: The Dark World. There’s a couple of different hypotheticals, and every one of them is absolutely hysterical when you imagine…
