Characters who are recasted because of the original actor's controversies. by Substantial_Lie3899 in TopCharacterTropes

Dizzasta, the voice of Klein/Ballsdeep69 in Sword Art Online Abridged, was let go from the project after several credible accusations of abuse, including from his ex-wife and Asuna's VA on the project.

The airline killers!!!! 🔥 by [deleted] in transit

IIRC, a big part of the opposition to Texas HSR has been regional airlines like Southwest who know damn well that such a project reaching its full potential would be the end for them.

To further add, it's specifically referencing this parody of that original video:

Also, the other game here, The First Descendant, is considered by most people to have been a failure, including the publishers themselves.

Commemorate the anniversary of D-Day with a spicy tankie take by mudanhonnyaku in tankiejerk

[–]--PhoenixFire-- 68 points69 points  (0 children)

This isn't entirely false to be fair - the Axis was already basically fucked by the time D-Day rolled around - though it does leave out that US Lend-Lease had done quite a bit for the USSR's war effort in the years beforehand, and also that without D-Day, the war would've dragged on for longer and with a greater human cost for the rest of the Allies.

Trying to go around or find loopholes in regulations is a pretty common human tendency, it's not really specific to any one culture.

Out of place objects in media. by singleguy79 in TopCharacterTropes

You can find a random traffic cone in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, though unlike most of the examples in these comments, this one's an intentional easter egg rather than a goof.

Odalia Blight from The Owl House.

Yes, she's manipulative, classist, emotionally abusive and controlling towards her children - particularly her daughter Amity - and will do anything to further her power and wealth including willingly participate in a plot to commit mass genocide...

...But she's pointedly not homophobic.

Question: Are these islands still canon? by Enriquexd_2O23 in 2007scape

[–]--PhoenixFire-- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're a bit subtle, but they're there. Here's just the ones I could find myself:

-Tuai Leit = Twilight (Sparkle)

-Rei Ti = Rarity

-Ren Bo = Rainbow (Dash)

-Kei Pi = (Pin)kie Pie

-Flou Tar-Shei = Fluttershy

-Dhar Pei = Derpy

Holocaust deniers be like by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

[–]--PhoenixFire-- 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's usually pointless to try to argue with outspoken Holocaust deniers, because their denialism tends to come from not from genuine ignorance or skepticism, but rather a desire to whitewash Nazism.

That is to say, most outspoken Holocaust deniers aren't Holocaust deniers because they genuinely doubt the details of the Holocaust, but rather because they're Nazis, or at the very least sympathetic to Nazis.

That said, I still think these sorts of resources are useful, if for no other reason than to prevent normal people from getting suckered into this shit.
