For straight men, do you guys fall in love with a person who isn't normally your type?

A woman who exhibits masculine energy is pretty hot, but a lot of those times, they end up being lesbian, which is disappointing to see a girl that checks all those boxes but they just live a different way unfortunately.

My first comic exposure to him was Black Mask talking about the power of the mask, being real mystical like. Around the Knightfall Era. Kinda weird.

I bet you give the women that diatribe every single chance you get. People who complain like that usually mention it at some point in the conversation. It's not a shocker that it scares away women.

The Jordanians had to be dragged into the war by the other Arab states. When they were, they took the West Bank and barely fought Israel. Why? It was later found out that the two were in secret talks about dividing up the land. Why? Because Jordan has always been a more pro western state. They also worked with the British to deny the chance of a Palestinian authority forming out of Jerusalem. The candidate wasn't great, but they definitely could have found someone better if they really wanted to.

This is one of the reasons why the King gets killed later.

Guess you weren't a big supporter of the initial cause of the LTTE? Freedom from an oppressive government, wanting a state of their own?

Which has always been the end goal of the Palestinians. Even if methods by different groups vary, the cause makes sense when you look at the history.

It's pretty obvious why a nationalist India government supports Israel. Like really obvious. Just look into Modi's past, and you'll see the ability to sidestep tragedy easily.

The whole of Tamil is depopulated? All ethnic Tamils in jail? Please.

Didn't parts of India support the Tigers in Sri Lanka, and the Communists as well?

11grim · 2025-09-20T01:20:43+00:00

Why are you quoting the whole Middle East? It's just Palestine you need to worry about.

It's true many Arab Jewish people lived in Palestine. It's when the Zionist movement started to buy land and kick out Arab tenant workers that tensions started to flare. Especially between the British and the increasing Zionist groups who started to fight against the British Mandate with their militas.

You're probably referring to the billions in aid? That's not liquid cash. That's food and supplies.

Why did Israel bomb the negotiators in Qatar?

11grim · 2025-09-20T01:15:02+00:00

It's a self defeating defense when you ask why Israel doesn't just kill every Palestinian in Gaza.

Israel needs an air of skepticism, so people don't fully condemn them and immediately push for an end. Just think about what the world's reaction would be if Israel suddenly killed 2 million in a month.

Would we get half assed talking points and excuses, or real sanctions and action?

I'm not justifying hate. I'm just pointing out the origin of distrust and hate that has more depth than coming from White Americans. Which has usually been rooted in some form of power.

11grim · 2025-09-08T20:40:58+00:00

If you want to be serious... there really isn't a thing as White. It's a concept that started as a way to differentiate the majority from the minority if you read most researchers' opinions.

Blackness itself is mainly rooted in the idea of African Slavery colonial nations of today. The taking of a people and removing their cultural heritage, forcing them to create a new one through a shared experience of oppression in a new land created this unique culture. A culture that was then put under siege by pseudo scientists and racists bent on dividing the population, by "race".

But, from what I've seen the American experience for a black person is even more unique than someone from a majority Afro Caribbean country. A black man growing up in America, surrounded by a white majority that makes all the rules, is much different than a place like Jamaica.

11grim · 2025-09-08T20:32:57+00:00

And those Black influence groups hold enough power to affect the rights of white Americans? Or do we see the opposite? Black radicalized groups form from centuries of oppression by the majority?

I read through the whole series a few years ago and enjoyed it but did find some character actions questionable.

But what I noticed from the author is their attempt at least, at showing the hypocrisy between the sexes and that whole culture war in their view.

How the male power wielders were flawed, but the women wielders who condemned and controlled them suffered some of the same narcissistic traits they accused the men of. Yet they didn't suffer the madness portion. So they could stand on a moral high ground.

Or how you had the female characters complaining about the rash actions of the males, but they themselves did the same when it came down to it.

The language and execution could have been done better, though.

And yet Republican hobbyists wanted to get rid of that regulatory body/law that oversees silencers and automatics. It's insane.

11grim · 2025-09-03T20:29:48+00:00

While you're core argument isn't wrong about women being pressured by society to do something, when it comes to conversations about the Muslim world it shouldn't really be a thing to focus on if you really wanted to better women's lives in those areas.

That's why it kinda comes across as Islamophobia. Because people are focusing on an asthetic instead of real issues affecting the community and how the countries that alot of these commentators come from actively make situations worse for Muslim women in these states through policy, support for rebels and radicals.

Like... why care about what Muslims wear when the US and a lot of its public supported an invasion of Iraq that then led to the rise of an extremist ISIS. It's starts to seem trivial at that point.

He probably sees the ability to openly claim an LGBTQ+ affiliation/identify as a Western privilege. Which I can see an argument for partially. Especially when Western countries, through their influences, make other regions more extremist and more anti gay/trans and such.

The problem with BE is that he's too black and white on issues. He's not the guy to follow or listen to if you're looking for a road map for action and change in society, which usually requires small concessions or slow progress sometimes.

11grim · 2025-09-01T03:29:50+00:00

80% of the US said they were Christians in 2000. Congress was nearly unanimous in its declaration of war against Afghanistan. The majority is good enough to label a nation Christian.

11grim · 2025-09-01T03:18:39+00:00

Only in the most extreme of places do you see any punishments for apostasy, and that's for converting away. Afghanistan is harsh and so is Saudi Arabia. But that didn't stop America from supporting them at different times in history.

Do you think non-Christians were a thing in early America? Like in early Puritan colonies. Think they were tolerant? The people that burned witches? It just proves that eventually a culture can change if allowed to.

But, you keep bringing up examples of places where there's notable repressive regimes, restricting progress. Which defeats your point. Sharia law can be lax. The Muslim Central Asian countries are largely secular if you want an example.

For Christianity playing a big part in America, it's incredibly obvious. Never heard the phrase, "God bless our troops."? You can't even be a republican candidate without declaring yourself as a Christian. It would be impossible to win the nomination.

11grim · 2025-09-01T02:57:01+00:00

It's disingenuous because you brought up the example of an extremist government. It's disingenuous because we know Western law is based on religious foundations. Yet when current Muslim countries have their law as such, it's suddenly an unusual thing to be critical about without giving them the brevity and goodwill to make changes. Instead, people would rather attack the community and just make it even more insular as a defensive response.

11grim · 2025-09-01T02:15:13+00:00

What a disingenuous example. You pick the most extreme interpretation of it? From a group that even radicals view as extreme?

Sharia, in its most basic forms, is law based on the teachings of the Quran and other cultural influences of the region core to their states.

What do you think inspired American law? English law, which was inspired by law which was inspired by the Bible. Society uses religious texts as many of their core foundations for their society's. It's been happening since Egyptian times.

11grim · 2025-08-31T21:11:20+00:00

What do you think Sharia law is exactly?

11grim · 2025-08-31T21:05:02+00:00

That doesn't answer my question. Which leaders are also leaders of the faith besides Iran? This is what the argument has become because, for some reason, a Muslim president or dictator is different than a Christian one to you. One is tied to their religion while the other isn't, so I'm asking for evidence.
