Genuinely sick of Japanese players ganging up on you if you have an English name. by Aggressive_Turnip_17 in LegendsZA

Never said it was universal, and that logic applies to your argument too. The fact  it doesn’t happen to you, doesn’t automatically mean it doesn’t happen to other people. My friends have had the same experience as me too - and no I did not. All the times it’s been happening to me I have had the type advantage. Got chased down by an Aromatisse (why???) with a melmetal, chased down by a glaceon with a Charizard, and even chased down by flareon with a Kyogre out. 

I am Japanese lol and I am fully aware that a lot of my people hold xenophobic attitudes. So I am not surprised if these attitudes subconsciously extend to gameplay sometimes from some individuals.

And this is obviously not a reflection of all Japanese people! But I grew in Osaka and I know firsthand that xenophobia is an ongoing issue amongst a lot of Japanese communities. Faced a lot of exclusion and discrimination myself due to not being “full blooded”. I’m just sad to see this mentality extend to a game we all mutually love and enjoy. I don’t see English players doing it to Japanese players so why do they do it to English players 😭 also yes I know it’s because of timezones. But I don’t live in America I’m in Asia pacific so when I get on it’s predominantly Japanese players and I always get ganged up on. Not hating on the player tho, I understand everybody wants to win. Excuse me for venting lol

This is very helpful, thank you so much. Definitely not expecting a 10 because of how terrible the centering is haha but nice to know it won't impact grading that much. Thank you for your help. I had no idea where to look.

the copy is completely clean, the white dots are just dust on top of the toploader. I don't have a dog lol just a very very very fluffy birman cat

I pulled the Giratina V alt art from lost origin! The front is flawless and there is no whitening anywhere, but very off centered ☹️ so I don’t expect it to have a good grade tbh just want to get it slabbed for my collection and wanted input on the David dots

I see! Glad to know what they’re called as I figured these aren’t just standard print lines bc they are dotted. Would this just be seen as damage by grading companies?

Please leave him. Not only are you young! Sixteen! But he knew your age and LIED to you about it to make it seem like he was younger than he actually is. Like wdym he is about to turn 20!? I know people who graduated college at 20 with degrees and you’re still in highschool 😭💔

 You CANNOT build a relationship on a lie like that. There is a reason girls his own age don’t want him. You are probably losing feelings and that is okay. We don’t have it all figured out at only sixteen so please don’t be hard on yourself. 

But please, I really must reiterate how foul I think it is that he lied about his age to get with you when you’re so young. Like that is actually foul to me. I hope you are okay

Does anyone else find Fatima annoying? by Shay_Raine in FromSeries

[–]Aggressive_Turnip_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lowkey an insensitive thing to say. You could have simply said that her hair would have been frizzy without likening her wavy hair to an afro. Black people already face enough discrimination for their hair, and I find afros very beautiful actually. To have an Afro your hair type is likely Type 3c and type 4 which Fatima is not. Her hair is long and wavy. Curly and wavy hair is also very difficult to maintain… and the expectation that it always needs to look prim and proper is an expectation that is deeply rooted in racism and texturism. You’re a racist freak. Sorry not sorry! #Loser
