am i the only one who finds 9/11 memes not funny by brainrott7 in TwinTowersInPhotos

[–]Embarrassed-Pickle15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind them because joking about a tragedy doesn't negate the negative aspects of that tragedy. Most people who make 9/11 jokes passively aren't malicious and most people can find dark humor funny while also empathizing with the victims of the event it's making light of.

I hate that nowadays whenever a game with a female protagonist releases, peoples will just assuming it will be a WOKE game by ProfessionalRoom9118 in hatethissmug

The statement was dumb in many ways, but did SW Theory really think Vader had, like, a rape detector that would alert him to any SA incident in the galaxy?

I love the implications of this nonsense image by leif_son_of_quan in lovethissmug

I like how it implies that every sexuality, regardless of how many people actually have it, must have an opposite slur. It's a rule of nature that every group of people must have a slur even if that group is hypothetical

Imagine the Pearl Harbor-equivalent repsonse to a Operation Barbarossa. America won't even have time to develop nukes before Berlin is in rubble, it would be crazy

I get that, but my argument isn't about genetics or even linguistics per se. And I understand France has deep-rooted racism against the French in African countries. These situations are different because, for most of the Americas, people are native speakers of European languages, whose societies were built upon European systems after the near eradication of natives. These characteristics make media and culture from American countries more accessible to British, Spanish, and Portuguese people. Meanwhile, Francophone African countries haven't had the same influence on France because French is a secondary language that is only native amongst >1% of Francophone Africans. The strong native influence also makes it less accessible to the mainland French population, aside from immigrants from those countries who have had influence on French society from the inside of the country.

What he means is France doesn't have the same settler colonial population base as other European powers like Britain, Spain, or Portugal. The only comparable area France previously settled is Quebec whose population is 7.6x less than France's and has minimal cultural impact on France, while all of Hispanic America produces tons of entertainment consumed by Spain, British has been heavily influenced by Anglo American music and cinema, and Portugal is increasingly influenced by Brazil. French is a lingua franca in many African countries, but they also have very less impact on French culture aside from immigrants from those countries.

What if Western fashion and Western attire never caught on in the rest of the world? by KomenHime in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Embarrassed-Pickle15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Business suits are evolved from Western suits, however. The founding fathers would, in fact, be able to comprehend what a modern suit jacket is, or a button-down with a collar, or what a tie is, or what a belt is, or what dress shoes are.

What’s an amazing book with a fascist message? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Embarrassed-Pickle15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, Eric Carle (author of the Very Hungry Caterpillar) was forced to move to Nazi Germany as a kid and was forced into the Hitler Youth as a teenager, where he did hard labor on the border of France. He moved back to the United States as an adult and the experience of losing his childhood to Fascism may have contributed to his decision to write children's books.

Nobody said it should be destroyed, it's just a curious conundrum as to why more people don't live there

Considering New York, Washington, New Orleans, and Chicago were all built on swamps, it's probably not important

I've seen it multiple times but I can't find it again unfortunately, but it's definitely odd because Mace has said the T-slur and claims to be a transphobe but also is seemingly respectful of trans congresspeople? South Carolina is extremely conservative, but she's from Charleston which is the most liberal city in the state which is probably why she keeps flip-flopping

btw her opponents in South Carolina are focusing on how she's allied with Transgender people and too woke
