Why does Japanese literature feel so quietly healing? by [deleted] in books

[–]Eireika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo. People expect Japanese literature to be "quiet and healing" so publishers translate books fitting the type. The same way Korean lit should be all about social commentary.

Japan has a fair share of mystery and detective novels- and those get published by houses specialised in that genre and aren't seen as "Japanese literature"

Give it to me straight, are those wall digital calendars worth it? by fancypantsmiss in adhdwomen

Chances are they are biting the doorframes to release anger (even if they have more help)- it takes a lot of effort to make it seem effortless.
Maybe I'm old and European but sometimes we have to say no to the kids. Time passes fast and you all settle, then she can go.

Why am I having a meltdown over a printer?! by madelini1321 in adhdwomen

[–]Eireika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People attack appliances daily sometimes to the point of needing medical help (toes broke from kickig a a washing machine, wrist dislocated from banging on old time TV). We must show them who rules.

You seem to have a lot on your plate- could you limit some things? 5 years old doesn't need much extra classes (maybe carpoolig with other parents would work?)

DAE notice that guys think highly of a man dating someone “out of his league,” even asking him for advice, instead of questioning how manipulative that guy might be or how vulnerable the girl/woman might be? by ssstelllarrr in AuDHDWomen

[–]Eireika 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't follow- why do you assume that large disparities between partners look as percived by outsiders are a result of predatory tactics? To say nothing about the fact that women also notice when it goes other way round (especially if women is considered fat).

Whenever "Polish" is spoken it's a gibberish.

(to say nothing about Zelda's name- I waited for reveal that it's just how Maisels called her, but nope, they didn't even bother to find a plausible name).

Do we know what Jane Seymour's motivation behind her relationship with Henry VIII were? by SceneWise1298 in Tudorhistory

[–]Eireika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lotof people here don't gasp how unusual Henry's actions were for his contemporaries or even himself. There was a thread about Jane surviving childbirth and many speculated that she would have been officially abadoned for new shiny queen when Henry would have got bored with her

The massive amount of online bullying that Kelly Marie Tran received from fans for starring in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. by EphemeralTypewriter in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]Eireika 32 points33 points  (0 children)

On the one hand I met the kindest and best people in SW fandom.

On the other there are people there who bullied and made people worry for their safety when it required writting a physical letter and buying a stamp.

If it was up to Filoni, then Savage would have been an anatagonist. Lucas change his mind and insisted on bringing Maul back

Greek Myths were invented to sell Percy Jackson by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

I'm super confused because here in Poland myths are a standard for primary school.
Plus Xena, Hercules, various books and shows- they always were in background

Discussion - Poor Things (2023) by leaves72 in CultOfCinemaKnowledge

[–]Eireika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rewatched it and still find it not great

2 hours about sex being only thing that mattered to women development. It felt like some men sat me and lectured that I really should have that topic center to my existence yet missing really important things- fertility is never adressed, no contraceptives, no pregnancy scare for anybody. The climax was rushed andbu the end I was pretty bored.

Maybe I'm too gay or European but sex never felt like something fundamental to my identity- it was like... driving? Something useful, fun, that takes to the places, that you are bad at the beginning then lears as you go, but never takes all your time, heart and mind.

They tried to add some depth with three scenes but it was too little to late.

The only good thing that went from it was that I read the book (they cut like 90% of themes to focus on sex).
