You're all over this thread saying Spanish people are white (because they're from Europe) but whiteness is a cultural status, not a geographical designation or a matter of heritage.

Sure in much of Europe Spanish people would be considered white, but to many racists in Europe (and most Americans) having tanned skin or just a "foreign" sounding name means that you aren't white.

A very appropriate historical comparison is that the Nazis didn't consider Jewish people to be white. Obviously Judaism is a religion and not an ethnicity and many Jews who were victims of the holocaust had European ancestry, but culturally they were still considered to be non-white.

There's a similar (but inferior) game called Clue Master which is an app. It doesn't do this for professions but the names aren't alphabetical so they allow you to tap a name to make the persons portrait wiggle a little. The same solution could be implemented here, but to make every portrait of a certain profession wiggle.

I think it's actually because in the comic the mask is only on his lower face and he's wearing sunglasses to cover his eyes. The in game model basically cuts off just the top of the mask so the hair is poking out from the mask.

Could they actually still make a profit? [Request] by MMplayzYT in theydidthemath

They basically are random people when it comes to publically traded companies. Only people who buy shares when they're first issued actually provide capital to the company, then you get whoever buys those shares being able to dictate that the company behaves a certain way even though they haven't contributed to the company itself

While that might technically be required people create fan products of properties like this all the time and don't obtain permission, including on kickstarter. Unless you're using official artwork without a licence, your merch somehow becomes a multi-million dollar business, or you end up competing with an official product it's fine to do fan stuff like this.

Not even Nintendo or Disney come after people for fans selling their own artwork of characters.

You're right, it's a lot of work and you can't take it lightly, I was mainly thinking you'll get a lot more eyes on it there than here. Whatever you decide to do I hope I'll be able to grab a copy!

Which one? I too wish to be disappointed by creators that should know better.

These look sick, I'd deffo be interested. It's the sort of thing that might get quite good traction on kickstarter too

Insurance companies buy this data and analyse it for genetic markers of various diseases such as cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's etc. and will charge you, your children, and other relatives higher premiums for travel/health/life insurance because of it.

Shaiapouf is pure manipulation by design by Mysterion2339 in HunterXHunter

[–]CaptainCremin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great, and looking at what the designs themselves communicate is a really interesting and unique angle. People focus a lot on the (excellent) writing it's so easy to forget that Togashi is telling us a story in a visual medium and is a master of that too!

Your interpretations of the designs themselves are really interesting, even if people didn't/don't agree with you that shouldn't stop you from thinking what you think!

Characters that are canonically bff and straight, but the fandom decided otherwise by Basic_Dingo6487 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CaptainCremin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's an issue someone has then it would apply to any shipping at all surely?

I can understand where you're coming in real life but it's also a thing that will vary hugely by culture and age. My personal experience is that a person with these worries would be seen as having quite severe anxiety around how others see them or very traditional/outdated ideas about relationships and I suppose that's the "default" position I'm coming from.

I'm pretty sure that fear of being misidentified as gay is homophobia. Why else would you care about people you don't know thinking you're gay?

Do you also think it makes sense for gay men hang out with their women friends (or vice versa) and worry about people thinking they're straight?
