A man like daintree? Is daintree a name? Why isn’t it capitalized? Why isn’t the 1st letter of ever word in the title capitalized, as I learned in the 3rd grade? I have so many questions...

I’m Asian, not that that instantly gives me cred, but it’s very different when you’re an actual character. You can wear a chun li or mulan costume, and that’s cool as long as you aren’t going around with an accent. What is NOT cool is when Gwen stefani randomly has asian backup dancers. Or when people wear a random…

It’s a costume. Like any super hero costume. Chun-Li was originally drawn as a white brunette anyway— kind of racially ambiguous from the start. She was born in Hong Kong to a father advanced in martial arts but I don’t think her race was ever ecplicitly specified. Her background story also got tweaked depending on…

No, it’s not automatically cultural appropriation to dress up as a fictional character. People cosplay all the time. Don’t paint your face or anything foolish like that. Simple.

Chinese character, invented by Japanese designers, one of the more positive female characters to come out of video games in that era, international representative of thicc thighs everywhere, cosplayed by numerous people around the world for decades.

It’s absolutely cultural appropriation. Asians may be brought up as the “model minority” by racists by I’d have a hard time believing that a population that makes up more than 7x that of Asian-Americans has less institutional power.

yeah, im thinking cosplay. appreciated and enjoyed even, always liked that she lets her nerdy side show. tough really outside of the hair(and big thighs) she really doesn’t look like her.

It’s a costume. Commonly called costume play or “Cosplay”. It’s common among anime, cartoons and video games. Most of the characters from those media are white or light skinned and it’s common for darker skinned people to just dress up as them anyway because......... who the fuck cares, fuck authenticity. It’s about…

Im sorry people are jumping on you; you can feel sorry both for a victim and for the people he victimizes. You can think of the women he hurt because their hurt due to his trauma helps us understand the full scope of how terrible trauma and abuse is, since it doesn’t just hurt the person who experienced but so many…

what are the chances he loses hijab

When people despise you, they don’t actually care what you do. They decide first that you are worthy of their malevolence, and then they work backwards from that to judge you based on anything you are actually doing. It’s not meant to be rational.

What...are you even talking about?

Giving every straight person who plays a queer person the benefit of the doubt by assuming they’re closeted is absurd.

So let the popular kids say transphobic shit because if you tried to point out the problems they may burn down your house.

Ugh, he just dropped out of the race because of her.

Have you watched Gavin and Stacey? There’s a character who is obsessed with Camilla and Charles (the greatest love story of our time) and HATES Diana (Don’t you even say her name to me!). It’s great.

Didn’t Charlie do the same thing when he drank that fizzy drink that made him fly? I never understood why his transgression was somehow okay.

You know, I went into “Call Me By Your Name” with shivering excitement. Loved the book, looooove Armie, here we go!
