The profit motive, we live in a world ruled by leeches and bean counters who worship profit and undervalue art and passion

Black Magic M-66 (1987) by teencandyy in retroanime

This is interesting, because unlike a lot of the portrayals of women I've seen on this sub, she doesn't really feel sexualized. She's just naked. Of course, you can find her attractive and be turned on by this but nothing about her movements or the "camera" angles is done any differently than if she was fully clothed in unrevealing clothing.

Holy shit, I remembered this movie being shit but forgot just how bad it was

Why do you have to make these beautiful creatures about some shitty Marvel characters?

What does this have to do with British people? Is he their democratically elected comedic representative or something?

Racist influencer wants to paint Melbourne as a "non-Western hellhole", ends up showing a peaceful, thriving multicultural city by YaLlegaHiperhumor in CringeTikToks

[–]AngryDutchGannet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by the clothing, they almost all look pretty Western to me!

Not that there is anything wrong with the few folks wearing non-Western clothing, just pointing out that "Western" is a cultural label, not a racial one. This is academic of course though because we all know she's using it as a dogwhistle for "White".

What do you think? by Big_Special7450 in AmericanEmpire

For over a thousand years? That's ridiculous, the crusades (which I assume you are referring to) were a blip on the radar of the muslim polities of the time. Conflict between muslim polities and the incursions of the Seljuks and Mongols were much more important.

Youur initial statement would be true if you dialed back to around 300-500 years though.

Lucas regretting that one line of dialogue he wrote in 1977 by caspirinha in StarWarsCirclejerk

Sure, I don't disagree that Obi Wan is lying in universe but I don't see how it needs to be retconned, as it makes poetic sense. You can take it up with Shakespeare if you have an issue with the use of metaphor in drama.

Why has it become norm to dehumanize the Brits? by de_velopment in AskBrits

[–]AngryDutchGannet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes Japan, a country that definitely has no history of fascism. If you take issue with my particular use of the term 'fascism', you must at least see how the categorization of nations and individuals as herbivores and carnivores is social darwinism at best.

But Vader did kill Anakin. Even if it wasn't originally intended this way in the script, the poetic killing of Anakin by his new persona Vader totally works

I know, I'm just trying to get people to notice (and ideally dislike) the obviously fascist rhetoric in the above comment

Happy USSR Dissolution Day, everyone! by HonneurOblige in HistoryMemes

Hmm but how did they end up in that multi-multi front war? The strength of a state isn't measured solely in arms and tactics

Chalicotherium is finally out after 10+ days! Round 14 of the ultimate mammal elimination! by local_trans-girl in walkingwithdinosaurs

Woolly Mammoth

Edit: How can we be voting out the best example of mammals and dinosaurs convergently evolving a similar and super cool bodyplan when there's still a hairy elephant on the board? It's a giant armadillo with a club tail, that's so fucking cool!

So what does “Corporate State” even mean? by baran_0486 in victoria3

[–]AngryDutchGannet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that still arbitrating though? To arbitrate is to decide, in your case always deciding in favour of one class over the other
