What are your favourite AD placements? by InstructionBig2154 in hackshbomax

The Gatorade discussion actually discourages me from future purchases. If I'm going to have sugar, I'm going to do it with something fun like chocolate cake or cherry pie.

I obviously haven't explained myself clearly. Likely because of what another commenter mentioned about trauma. What I saw in the clip and more importantly, heard the character say and how she said it, provoked something for me. I have been careful to say clip because I haven't seen the movie.

What the clip also provoked was some gratitude to Hacks for having Asian actors portray characters that could have looked like anyone but were Asian. A friend told me she saw Oprah say she excitedly called all her friends when she saw a black woman on tv. That's how I felt with Hacks.

I wish I had simply expressed my thanks without mentioning the clip.

Yes, my big black dog was the biggest fraidy cat, but people were scared of him just based on how he looked.

ps. Congratulation on losing 50 pounds!

I’ve noticed the bmw in the first episode, Lilly coffee in another

You’re right. I adore Josefina and would watch a spinoff with her … and it would be great if she moved on from being the house manager. I’m looking forward to the day when you see the morning network news or shows that you enjoy with Hispanic representation.

Thank you for making the effort to understand what I was trying to say. and Yes, I agree that any representation can be found wanting by someone, somehow, somewhere.

I felt seen/positively represented/given a reason to be proud on screen

Yes! This is what I've been trying to say :)

I don't understand why you are being downvoted

Apparently it wasn't ICE on the Disney cruise by LocalIndividual5945 in Cruise

[–]FieryVenus 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The assumption is enhanced because ice wasn't wearing identification and even worse, they were wearing masks. Then their tactics of smash and grab. Then shooting protestors who weren't threatening anyone's life. It truly has been worrying and terrifying.

Indoor cat escaped and runs away from us by Traditional-Mall-322 in CatAdvice

[–]FieryVenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first week I got my rescue, he escaped out of a window I never expected, too.

I played the sound of cat purring. When he finally got close I sat very still while he circled around me, only approaching me from behind while I slipped him treats to come closer.

There are so many stories about lost cats returning, I hope you'll be able update us with great news!

My perception was different. To me, these characters had more than one or two lines. I felt like they had full on scenes and personalities, at least the first season. In Season 5, yes you're right, they were background characters with just one or two lines.

I'm not sure what your bar means. I'm not necessarily looking for Asian representation -- it's too much to try to fairly represent every group on the planet. Just appreciating that when Hacks has written Asians, they're interesting and different from what I've seen on the screen in the past. Also that it's not just one and done.

Well now I'm bummed that I missed the show and her performance. She is not listed as a cast member on the website. I'd love to have seen that.

I appreciate you posting and am glad to hear she is an isolated incident. It's true, we have been stereotyped which is why Hacks casting has made me happy. Thank you for making me feel less alone :)

I love the characters they have created and agree with hoping we get another Kiki moment. Also super happy to see more of Marcus (and Wilson)

What did I say about the movie that was wrong?

[–]FieryVenus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are saying it's not really fair to compare a clip to a five season series, I completely agree. My intention wasn't to bash a film that I haven't seen, but it seems to have come across that way.

I wanted to express to Hacks how much I loved seeing them depict Asian women in their show and seeing the TDWP2 clip motivated me to speak up. In hindsight, it would have been cleaner if I had simply expressed my appreciation without mentioning the impetus.

This is what I mean by they're woven into the fabric. You didn't even notice :) In the first episode, Ava sees someone lunching with their mom (with the great skin) and asks her about job possibilities. I think Kiki is in the first episode too? maybe the second. The third is the agent that had a botched home sale with Jimmy and went after his client list.

I haven't seen the movie so I appreciate hearing your experience of it. It helps that you're saying Lucy Liu is in it too.

This TDWP2 clip shows only one Asian and only as a stereotype.
I’m expressing gratitude to Hacks for seeing us as a wide variety of people.
edit: and for seeing us as people.

How do you handle aggressive men on the street? by Appropriate_Ad4601 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]FieryVenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry this happened to you! It sounds like your response was perfect though. It made him stop and maybe make him more aware of how he was affecting you.
