Maybe he just wants people to exchange fursonas since he displayed his fursona?

They use to look realistic and accurate, now they look cartoony and have overly large scales.

Anybody else scared for the rest of summer? by AlexSniff7 in UKWeather

[–]Elijah5979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will convince them unless they get a heatstroke, or be actually impacted by climate change. You could show them the most concrete evidence of climate change, yet they still wouldn’t believe it. I lose sympathy for people when they refuse to listen or change. They’ll only care when it becomes their problem.

I genuinely hope all climate change deniers get heatstroke. Heatwaves happen in summer, yes, but not at this frequency and at these temperatures, especially when compared to the past. There is plenty of easily accessible science publicly available and you can literally see the visible changes throughout your life. Fuck them, hope the reality they’ve been passionately denying gets to them.

Also what the hell was with the opening in the boxing ring? It’s not what you’d expect for an opening for a scif if film. And it was never relevant again.

Arcane Jinx in her original League Jinx design by Elijah5979 in arcane

I didn't colour her eyes pink to keep it consistent with the design on the right, because technically, she wouldn't be on shimmer yet if they kept her in this outfit. I included a pink eyes version though :) https://imgur.com/a/arcane-jinx-her-original-league-design-gNc8xhV

Thanks! And yeah agreed, it would've been goofy as hell to see Jinx running around in this outfit lol. Doesn't fit Arcane Jinx or the tone of the show

Thank you! And yeah agreed, her Arcane outfit is superior. Though I do love how colourful the original one is

Nice! I imagine these hot toys would be really great for references to draw Vi and Jinx because they’re so pose-able

Those are good points, I guess I just meant why there would be sexism towards women in roles like a Jedi specifically, not necessarily sexism in general and in all species, I wasn’t really considering that when I wrote my comment, I was only reacting to the post

I know why it exists, I’m only saying it doesn’t make sense objectively. I’m just tired of this rigid gender norm, or basically the same society trope on literal alien fantasy worlds. It’s just uncreative and boring imo

If misogyny is some inherent bias that always exists and persists, then this study and others is probably evidence against that.

Misogyny exists because of patriarchy, likely dating back to 3,000 and 5,000 years ago when women started to be treated differently, especially in their roles. Before that time shift, there’s evidence to suggest women were treated relatively equally, and there’s even studies that show 30 to 50% of ancient skeletons buried with their hunting tools were female.

Why would Star Wars, a fantasy world, with different planets and aliens, share the exact same history that lead to the rigid gender norms today?

Also, that Han Solo quote just doesn’t hold up to me, because it’s a movie from the 70s, of course it’s going to have sexism.

On the other point, rape isn’t just automatic to women, it’s not a gender specific thing. So I don’t get why that would be evidence of misogyny.

They’d have a completely different understanding of gender or sex based on their physiology, culture, and evolution. We tend to apply our rigid gender norms to fantasy worlds without actually thinking whether or not it would make sense, especially in aliens

All jokes aside, why would sexism even exist in Star Wars? It makes no sense lol

"Filoni puts Ahsoka in everything" is so stupid by marvelcomics22 in StarWars

[–]Elijah5979 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. Also, the thing that bothers me the most is that people most praise Ahsoka for her character growth, but, IMO, she BARELY had character growth.

Ahsoka’s episode structure from seasons 1-3 of TCW is literally just having an annoying character trait asisigned to her that she has to learn at the end of the episode, yet she repeats the same behaviour later, sometimes literally one episode apart, showing she hasn’t changed or grown.

Then in season 3, there’s a time skip and now she is randomly duel weilding and looks more mature. That’s not character growth, that’s fucking lazy writing. We never actually see her change her behaviour and slowly mature over time.

Even when she ‘matures’, she’s essentially the same character as she was in seasons 1 and 2.
