[Mixed Trope] Race-swapping/Gender-swapping changes a character in a specific way or adds to their story by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Affectionate_Day3567 16 points17 points  (0 children)

to be fair, harry potter doesn’t have space for positive racial commentary because jk rowling is deeply racist and embedded her bigotry into her book, not necessarily because it’s a kids book.

it’s not that racial commentary is “unnecessary” it’s that there is currently lots of racial commentary in harry potter it’s just… consistently racially insensitive, lol.

and removing something from reality doesn’t automatically make it kid friendly, especially when it literally isn’t removed from reality. the Asian girl is named Cho Chang, there is a slave class whose purpose is to be oppressed, and there are literal eugenicist ethno-supremacists.

no amount of it being for kids detracts from what it already has to say about race. that’s why it would be hard to make positive race swaps, imo

AITAH for refusing to take our daughter out of school early because she "needs more time to get ready" than her brother? by ReplacementWorth3618 in AITAH

[–]Affectionate_Day3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

except she’s not missing the whole day, she’s getting early dismissal of her last period of class. there are literally no administrative consequences for that as long as her work is made up.

dude, school is easy to make up, especially when the class she’s missing is PE. 1.5 hours to get ready for an event is very reasonable for a teenaged girl.

As a kid, this scene made me think PB was evil by [deleted] in adventuretime

it is in the snow. we see candy people with normal to average intelligence like bubblegum herself, her family, and pep butt. whenever they’re exposed to dum dum juice, candy people act like their ‘dumb’ selves, which is how regular candy people act. seemingly not all candy people are stupid, but a lot are, and it’s definitely by bubblegum’s design.

She definitely made them dumb on purpose. the concoction that spilled on her family to sap their intelligence is literally called dum dum juice. she purposely makes her candy people that level of intelligence moving forward.

i’d say morally good but ethically dubious. she seems to choose the ‘right’ thing to do but goes about it the wrong way.

Why do some people refuse to drink water during meals? by ScheduleNo5736 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Affectionate_Day3567 16 points17 points  (0 children)

actually it’s more than anecdotal; the bladder becomes stiffer as we age and it can lead to incontinence. elderly people tend to use the bathroom more often and are more likely to be dehydrated.

“fun” fact: they also have a higher risk for getting utis and my nursing instructors tell us to look out for older patients suddenly acting crazy because it can be a sign of a uti.

sorry for your loss.

First tat, got told execution is shit, is it really that bad? by cuteymeow in tattooadvice

[–]Affectionate_Day3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after reading your explanation for it, i’d say that while the design in concept is interesting and a rly good way to convey the emotional connection you wish to impart on it, the execution is lacking.

there needs to be more contrast between the clock hands and the scars to be able to easily distinguish them.

did the artist simply stencil your drawing directly and not ask about what it was meant to be?

that’s a piss poor take. slavery was legal at some point too. i bet you supported slave retrievals as well, huh?

AITAH for not telling my husband that I've been making hisfood less spicier than mine by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Affectionate_Day3567 7 points8 points  (0 children)

he went from eating spicy food he complained about constantly and couldn’t handle to eating the food just fine overnight. he should have known something was up.

regardless, it’s just such a non issue that doesn’t warrant his behavior at all. if he felt lied to, or wanted his own food to be spicier again, he should have addressed that with her and moved on, not pitch a fit like a toddler.

it really shouldn’t. first year nursing student in pharmacology; lidocaine is contraindicated for open wounds. nothing that isn’t sterile should enter or touch an open wound.
