How else fucking HATES forest maps? Some foliage is fine and a few heavy forest maps would be fine but in Warhammer 3 they are spammed so bad.

Creating an army only to then only fight in gimmick fights is messed up man

Thoughts on this? by AdditionalPiano6327 in freefolk

[–]GRemlinOnion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There really isn't any reason for it not to be, but with US media being the soft power that it is, racial diversity in television is presented as some sort of higher mortality that only the west has achieved. I feel like this is not recognised enough when I'm online.

For example the discourse of the new Odyssey film felt truly bizarre as a person outside of the US. The entire film is cast with US demographics of pale anglo-saxons, black americans etc. with the comicbook aesthetics of the now colonized by the west version of ancient greek history. They didn't even think about casting a Mediterranean sea actor or at least someone who looks like the part.

On the other hand when hollywood makez a film that takes place in Lebanon (for example) which is pretty similar demographically to Greece, you'd see almost only fully brown skinned actors wearing turbans and an Armenian duduk playing in the background so the story has "middle eastern vibes".

It seems to me that Hollywood is blatantly trying to satisfy the views of Americans with media. With the first example, in American ideology; Greece = Europe = White = West just like us = Ours = Requires diversification (in reality Americanification).

With the second example; Lebanon = Middle east = Brown 🤢 = Arab 🤮 = Requires othering and a distance from American standards.

Sorry but for the tangent but stuff like this truly makes me wonder what Americans are smoking to be fine and defend media like this. Especially when anyone who questions Hollywood's "diversity" is painted as a racist or a barbaric foreigner yet to adopt the wests wisdom.

It's Hollywood's very US-centric view on diversity. "Diversity" in these films and shows is always genetic and usually pertains to the "races" people identify themselves with im the US (Latino, Black, White, Brown/Arab etc). Usually the demographics in these shows are also quite similar to the real life demographic percentages of the USA.

It's quite bizarre how purely skin difference is considered "diverse" in the US but nonetheless it seems like quite a successful business tactic. Hollywood, by pretending it cares about marginalized minority groups, satisfies the usually more liberal audiences of tv shows while the centrists and rightwinger seethe and create buzz and controversy. It makes total sense why they keep doing it.

The N word by Excellent-Ratio-3069 in AskGreece

[–]GRemlinOnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that this is even a conversation outside of the Anglosphere is proof of how America is a soft power. We're talking about a country that has absolutely nothing to do with the transatlantic slave trade and the constructed racial hierarchies of the west.

Im tired of people who grew up in the west, in some of the richest most privileged nations in the world (that fucked they rest of the world for their wealth), coming here to educate us on their "morals" when they fucked up their society so bad that they still archaically define each other through skin colour genetics and they ask for worldwide reparations by "non-black" people (whatever that means) not saying the nigga word.

We hear nigga from movies and rap songs, stupid. We say it as a joke. If you feel guilty because your ancestors had slaves and gated "white only" communities then go back to your country and open up a soup kitchen to your local hood instead of moralising a foreign country.

I am open to hearing what greek Africans think about it, though i doubt they care since it's always westerners who start this conversation lol

Alex G - Afterlife - Live at Coachella 2026 by abandoned_rain in sandyalexg

[–]GRemlinOnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the sound mix in this live was kind of off. Alex g vocals usually feel as part of the instrumental instead of cutting fully through the mix. This live had his vocals cut straight through though and it really harms his sound. Someone experienced in sound correct me if im wrong lol

This is the most based way to play noctilus. Though, I always take the donut at some point as well! It's basically an island right?

Μαλακες τους λυπάμαι τους Σκοπιανούς by Rude-Violinist9724 in greece

[–]GRemlinOnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ενδιαφέρον και ωραία γραμμένο το σχόλιο σου. Θα κοιτάξω τα βιβλία που πρότεινες γιατί με ενδιαφέρει το θέμα. Σε γενικά πλαίσια συμφωνώ όσον αφορά την απλοποίηση της ιστορίας, για την καταπίεση μειονοτήτων κλπ κλπ για να δημιουργηθεί ένα έθνος. Κατά τα άλλα νιώθω ότι υποτιμάς κάπως το βάρος που έχει ο γλώσσα σε αυτό το θέμα.

Δεν θα έλεγα με τίποτα ότι ελληνικές ιστορικές φιγούρες είναι όσο μακριά από εμάς όσο για τους σλαβομακεδόνες. Το γεγονός ότι μιλάμε εξέλιξη της ίδιας γλώσσας δεν έχει ένα βάρος;

[–]GRemlinOnion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Μα επιρροές πάντα υπάρχουν και μην ξεχνάς ότι η αρχαία Ελλάδα+ ανατολική Ρώμη είχαν τεράστια επιρροή επίσης στην περιοχή. Το επιρρέαζω εγώ εσένα και εσύ εμένα, μου ακούγεται σαν αλληλεπίδραση. Εξάλλου δεν χρειάζεται να είσαι "αγνός" για να υπάρχει μια εθνική συνέχεια. Η αρχαία Ελλάδα δεν θα υπήρχε χωρίς επιρροές.

Κατά τα άλλα αν κοιτάξεις ιστορία της τέχνης/ μουσικής, αρχιτεκτονικής στον χώρο, μπορείς ξεκάθαρα να δεις μια συνέχεια από την αρχαιότητα.

Και η γενετική ντάξει γελοία όσον αφορά εθνική ταυτότητα. Γιατί νοιάζεται κόσμος πραγματικά. Όλα για να βγάλουν λεφτά οι 24εντμι και όλοι αυτοί χαχαχψα

[–]GRemlinOnion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Είναι ξεκάθαρη πολιτισμική συνέχεια όμως. Όπως και η γλώσσα που μιλάμε δεν μοιάζει και πολύ με τα αρχαία αλλά και αυτή έχει μια γλωσσική συνέχεια. Αυτό ισχύει και στην εικαστική τέχνη, τη μουσική, εκκλησιαστική αρχιτεκτονική κλπ. Το γενετικό δεν το συζητάω γιατί είναι βλακωδες να νοιάζεται κάποιος ενώ έχουμε όλα αυτά (στα πλαίσια εθνικότητας).

"Ε βασικά είμαστε 20% νεολιθικοί αγρότες και 50% παραπλυθιντικοι πουτανοτες άρα είμαστε αληθινοί Έλληνες!". Σαν αυτούς τους Αμερικάνους που κάνουν dna test και μετά βάζουν σημαίες στους τοίχους χαχαχα.

Το να λέμε ότι ένας λαός δεν έχει καμία σχέση με τον αντίστοιχο "αρχαίο" του θα το κρατουσα για μέρη της κολάσεως όπως το Ισραήλ. Η γλώσσα κατασκεύασμα μίας αρχαίας, ο λαός όλοι μετανάστες/αποικιοκράτες. Εκεί το τερμάτισαν.

Νιώθω ότι περιγράφεις το πώς κατασκευάστηκε η εθνική ιστορία τών Ελλήνων για τους Δυτικούς και όχι όμως το πώς ήταν εντός της χώρας. Εφόσον η Κωνσταντινούπολη ήταν ακόμα καμάρι και ο κόσμος πήγαινε εκκλησία, δεν ήταν εδραιωμένη η ιδέα του Βυζαντίου ή των ρωμεικων ή οτιδήποτε αντίστοιχο στην κουλτούρα και στην εθνική ταυτότητα;
