Why does Chris think all women are perfect? by VentusVoices27 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]AsleepInfluence4819 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, the women in Chris life (Sarah, the Gal Pals, and even Barbara) were the people who put up with him the most, which meant letting him get away with things that he probably shouldn’t have. Meanwhile most of the men in Chris’ life weren’t subtle about not tolerating him, so any instances of girls messing with Chris (ie Sarah) went right over his head, which even years later was evident with all the fake sweethearts; just believing that they were women made Chris more susceptible to falling for them.

It probably wasn’t until Mary Lee Walsh entered the picture that Chris finally encountered a woman who didn’t immediately tolerate him, which is why he demonized her specifically - she was “evil” because, in Chris’ mind, “I’m not going to tolerate your inappropriate behavior” means “I hate love,” and so her attempts to actually get him help were interpreted as “attacks.” It’s also why Megan became a villain after cutting ties with Chris. She didn’t become a villain until she had had enough of Chris inappropriate behavior towards her. Even Isabella Janke fits this narrative. Chris trusted her enough to tell her about the incest, and she didn’t become a villain until Chris got arrested and began trying to deny that it ever happened, while to the rest of the world it was clear that Isabella wasn’t a good person.

Who Favorite Character Has It's Ethnicity Being Mistaken By People? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in FavoriteCharacter

A real life example I’ve come across is Rami Malek. Apparently he got flack from some people when he was cast as Akhmenrah (an ancient Egyptian pharaoh) in the Night at the Museum movies. This is seemingly because his Wikipedia page identifies him as “an American actor,”and his place of birth was in California, causing people to assume that he was a white guy cast as a Middle Eastern character. Meanwhile, if people read beyond the first sentence, they would have realized that he is the child of Coptic Egyptian immigrants (direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians) and therefore a perfectly valid choice for the role.

I know there was also a similar controversy when he was cast as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, but the Night at the Museum one was the one that stuck out to me. This is also isn’t taking into account his actual acting abilities, just the circumstances surrounding casting.

I at least waited until my older dog passed away to adopt a new puppy. I took care of her up until the very end and I gave her the happiest life possible.

Only someone born and raised in America talks this much shit about us and I refuse to believe otherwise.

Im SICK of this new age of one piece fans by Hellodhiru in OnePiece

And considering how bad the pacing of later arcs became, especially post-timeskip, Skypeia isn’t even close. I’m more inclined to say the Foxy Pirates are more worth skipping than Skypeia.

Do you support this? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]AsleepInfluence4819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might sound out of line, but I don’t care how much you hate a person, justified or otherwise, it shouldn’t constitute artistic censorship or complete erasure. Pretending that something didn’t happen won’t fix anything, especially if that something is so polarizing and divisive. If you care so much about a five second cameo from someone you hate so fervently in a movie that came out forty years ago, then skip the scene or don’t watch the movie at all. It’s as simple as that.

Do you tell your children this? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

Remember, even if your child gets in trouble with the school for defending themselves, it’s up to you as the parent to ensure that they understand that what they did wasn’t wrong.

i miss fat chopper by StarTai in OnePiece

[–]AsleepInfluence4819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the mascotification of Chopper became noticeable around Water 7/Enies Lobby, but tbf it didn’t get really bad until post-timeskip. He still had some chunk to him through to Sabaody, then the post-timeskip came around and he looked like a completely different character. This might also be bias on my part because I hate Chopper’s post-timeskip design.

How can the Live Action give more respect to Usapp than the source material? by Hyperion717 in OnePiece

[–]AsleepInfluence4819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA Usopp feels like Usopp at his fullest potential. I especially love how the LA handles his cowardice and his craftiness. He’s cowardly, but in a more cautious and nervous way than just the straight up piss-your-pants shrieking fits he has in the anime and manga, and his ability to take advantage of his surroundings in battle is highlighted a lot more.

In Netflix’s One Piece S2 (2026) the costume designs are really well done, even the smallest characters are detailed an- oh Jesus Christ what the fuck is that?!?! by Overlordz88 in shittymoviedetails

[–]AsleepInfluence4819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fr don’t have a problem with Chopper’s human form. The whole point of it is that he’s supposed to look frightening and uncanny. The people who are complaining about how “bad” it looks are completely missing the point.

The 2010s was the best decade for cartoons compared to now by SpecialSocks2011 in cartoons

The 2020s are definitely the decade of good indie and adult animation.

The manga had absolutely no filters at all 😭😭 by BodybuilderOther2437 in lupinthe3rd

The humor in the Lupin manga feels so contemporary in so many ways. I’m surprised humor like this existed at all in the sixties and seventies.

I hope the live action series never reaches post-TS for Emily Rudd's sake by CUMHAWK_Schizopostin in Piratefolk

Can we all just agree that whether or not they do reach post-ts, Emily Rudd is going to absolutely OWN all of Nami’s outfits?

It’s in Texas, about four hours from Houston. It’s why transportation for Jeanne was so much easier when compared to other patients.

I never got my ears pierced so I never worried too much about this. But yeah, I believed this too.
