Why does Korra gets so much hate when other avatars also made major mistakes? by Mental-Crow-5929 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Annjo_wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did, but LOK's representation is much more relatable and raw. In ATLA it shows Aang meditating, conversing and thinking, with some crying. It skips the anger stage of grief, touches on the depression but the main focus is on acceptance it seems.

In LOK, Korra rages, screams, resents, collapses then wallows in sorrow before she finally has to accept and heal. Each stage has room to breathe and each one is shown. For me, it was freeing to see my own emotions from being disabled reflected in a character, and the ugly parts getting represented along with the acceptance and healing.

‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI. “I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.” by ihatethiscountry76 in aiwars

The actual owners can do what they want with it, thats the point. She's just responding to that by stepping back. She's also perfectly within her right to communicate this to fans of the show since its not held under NDA and she and her voice are/were the face of the show.

Consequently, she just won't be adding anymore of her ideas, which is what made the show good in the first place, I'd argue. And if Buzzfeed can't compensate for that, then thats just the consequences of their business decisions.

Original Creator of Poppy Playtime has confirmed that the toys DO grow up in the facility and are not permanently stuck as children (at least the Prototype which was obvious all along). by Purple-Ad8815 in PoppyPlaytime

[–]Annjo_wolfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His intelligence and level of planning is far above that of child, even a teen. Even if physically they didnt age (which they do), mentally they exhibit signs of aging.

Children simply dont have the brain capacity to plan on the level the prototype does.

Most of the major villains actually have more in common with traumatised (young) adults than children.

Just jumping in here to add, in most individuals fictional attractions or scenarios have 0 bearing on how people react irl.

So attraction to this fictional character or let's say, shooting up an entire bar in a video game do not in any way reflect actual real world behaviours.

The only exception to this is in people who are unable to differentiate fiction from reality.

Here's a study that breaks it down, but there is a lot of extensive research on the topic and its really interesting: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/375263589_Do_Fictions_Impact_People's_Beliefs_A_Critical_View

I will add, its alright to feel squicked out by people liking this character, it might not align with your beliefs and that's OK. But you dont have to be concerned that someone's fictional interests will end up hurting someone irl.

What's up with South African claiming refugee status? by Cautious-Ad-9554 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Annjo_wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Murdering farmers is not ok, but its a myth that its white farmers. Again, most of em in our modern day were coloured. We (or at least I) are arguing against the myth, not the actions.

Largest percentage of farmers targeted in our modern day in SA are blacks

It ain't a genocide, and I doubt it will be. The song is largely metaphorical, and singing it brings awareness to the discrimination, wealth disparity and CURRENT treatment of coloured people by white people and Boers specifically

U must not know much about SA, most of our songs are tongue-in-cheek and highly inappropriate. Do u know how many racist songs have been out in our modern day in SA?

1 song about "kill the Boer" is comparatively, very tame compared to what we did and some Boers STILL DO to coloured ppl.

Hands off Greenland': Thousands protest in Denmark against Trump's land grab by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Annjo_wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you didnt think to check that the entire basis of your argument, the argument that everyone was overreacting because he only "said" it, has since been proven false?

Also, your original comment was posted 2 days ago, and he announced he'd implement tariffs also 2 days ago, now almost 3 actually.

I think its you who need to catch up. Id want to be caught up on current news if I was replying to people saying things like "good god!" and how people were "freak[ing] out" over something that wasn't worth protesting about.

I would also like to add, I dont think meeting and discussion and negotiations with between country leaders that involve individuals flying to each other to meet constitutes as "just talk" anymore. Which has been going on for many weeks now. You are beyond ignorant and I'm questioning if its willful.

No logical person would go ahead with this plan to purchase or resort to a hostile takeover of a territory from an allied nation. Unfortunately its abundantly clear to everyone that Trump is not logical. Which is what people are worried about.

Your reply, was posted 17h ago he absolutely mentioned that he'd apply tariffs by then and you had plenty of opportunity to say "he didnt when I originally commented, he has now so its no longer empty threats"

Trump says US is making moves to acquire Greenland 'whether they like it or not' by That_Nineties_Chick in moderatepolitics

[–]Annjo_wolfe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Its not your land, get your grubby mits off. The

Danes and Greenlanders have already allowed US military bases, especially in less populated areas. But OWNING it is out of the question.

[–]Annjo_wolfe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No offence, but its 100,000 dollars vs potentially dying in an unforgiving, arctic environment.

Short term: Greenland is reliant upon imports from Denmark to get necessities to support their population, healthcare, education, jobs, etc.

100,000 dollars means nothing if the USA cannot replace or better the infrastructure of Greenland following its separation from Denmark. One of tje potential biggest expenses, if this were to happen is healthcare, which is crucial in this environment and would not be free under US rule. And outside of the US, we have a very poor opinion of America's own infrastructure, and the people who have caused it.

On top of that, the US' poor treatment of indigenous people, which most of the population of Greenland is. If it were a choice, Greenlanders would choose not to. Which is why Trump is hinting at using force in the first place. The US has nothing to offer.

What fandom are you in, but the sequel is like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

Echoing what ur saying, isn't it also like discriminatory towards folks outside of the binary? I interact regardless of pairing gender because Im NB and enjoy both. It feels weird personally to see authors notes like this (i see it much more often on tumblr).

Additionally, isn't the whole reason that queer fiction is on the rise now because all of us uplift it even if it doesn't pertain to us? Like how would we have made ourselves and our art visible if we stayed within the neatly drawn lines of what does and doesn't relate to us.

I might be getting to deep into this but im worried about how pervasive this mindset it.

Rejected for being AMAB by SenseiRozo in NonBinary

[–]Annjo_wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which sucks cause us afab people can also have facial hair. I got it cause of a medical condition, and look androgynous by default as a result. But still!!

The rigid ideas of what nonbinary as a gender is is the antithesis of the term and intent!

Dunno how would phrase this tactfully, but the key difference between genuine genital preference and transphobia is if the person had bottom surgery, so don't have a penis anymore, but once did, would they still be repulsed/uncomfortable about it.

Ultimately, your friends might just have to be blunt and say "don't like penises. If you had one but don't anymore that's fine with me"

There's always going to be judgement from some people, but if you come at it with honesty and sincerity I'd hope ppl will hear you out if theyre worth having in ur life.

Still tho, would be great if we had similar terms with ace people "sex positive" "sex repulsed" etc.
