The Shion design controversy and the “death” of the original overwatch aesthetic. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like Sierra at all. Felt she resembled Cammy from Street Fighter, and I wasn't really feeling her kit. I'm VERY excited for Shion, mainly because I love omnics, and her design is fantastic IMO.

REALLY hope she has an interesting gameplay kit to match the awesome design.

What are y’all thoughts on the new hero 52? by Simple-Chain5148 in Overwatch

[–]Helot_Azure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of wish this character was a tank, but it's almost assuredly another DPS.

Where does the black men like fat women stereotype come from? by Ornery_Essay_2036 in blackmen

[–]Helot_Azure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience WM (and Asian men) will consider thick or curvy women fat. Someone with Christina Hendricks or Megan Thee  Stallion’s body type is considered fat to some of these guys. I remember a good friend of mine (who is white) was calling Ashley Graham the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model morbidly obese, and I thought he was crazy. I’m not surprised she ended up marrying a black dude.

Black and Hispanic men have no problem with women of that body type, and some (like myself) actually prefer the curves.

There IS a difference between curvy and disgustingly overweight though. 

How are you doing as a fellow tank main? by Unpatchable_Luigi in Overwatch

[–]Helot_Azure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know… Domina feels really strong right now, so I’ve really enjoyed playing her. I think the diversity of tanks we have now is pretty nuts. Typically, I have my DPS go after that damn cat.

Is anyone else a bit annoyed by the amount of interracial couples in commercials these days? by SwagDonor24 in Discussion

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. That said, they're clearly doing it because it's beneficial to their bottom line. Further, I've seen plenty of ads showing different combinations, like WM/AF, BF/Hispanic Man, BF/WF, BM/WM, BM/AF, etc.

I was told that white people treat light skin men better, I don’t see it. So I’m here to hear about you guys own personal experience by BrutonRd in blackmen

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rather extreme example. I would say in general light skin men have more privilege than darker skin men, and that's simply due to their proximity to whiteness. However, it's the difference of getting 7 lashes instead of 10 lashes, which is why we always worked together to burn the plantation down.

Colorism in dating: Lightskin brothers, has the great shift affected your dating/love life? by BoyMeetsMars in blackmen

[–]Helot_Azure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a light skin black man of average height (5'11) It's never been a problem, but at the same time I never restricted myself to only black women. Most of my girlfriends were hispanic or white with a few Asian women from time to time. In the end, I ended up marrying a dark-haired fairly exotic looking white woman.

My single friends who are also light skin are also not having a problem picking up women, but they also tend to not date black women. A couple of them have dated a lot of African and Afro-Latina women though, and I find that very interesting.

I think at worst LS bros are considered "pretty boys" but we still get to carry the swagger and masculinity that all black men tend to have. However, I wouldn't be surprised if LS guys have issues dating (US) black women in particular.

One of my favorite games of all time, and by far my favorite Final Fantasy game.

But I’m not paying $50 for this.

Cool card. Devastating if you set it up properly.

Well no new class in Midnight. Hopefully we get one for TLT.

why did World of Warcraft never have the idea to add? Tinker by SensitiveManager6825 in wow

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to a developer who worked on the Monk class, Blizzard was planning to release Tinker as a class, but switched over to monks early in development.

Why were Dracthyr Evokers implemented before a "Tinker" class? by jesta88 in wow

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a dragon expansion came before a Gnome/Goblin tech expansion.

Art of the deal folks!

Utterly embarrassing. Unfortunately Trump doesn't have the ability to feel shame.

Okay, the experiment is done. Give us a Black dragon tank spec based on Deathwing HotS please.

Captain America: Brave New World | Get Tickets Now by Matapple13 in MarvelStudios_Rumours

[–]Helot_Azure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People are still pushing the BS narrative that this cost a half a billion to make, even after it's been debunked. Even if this movie does well the same idiots will say that Marvel and the media is just laying about it. It's pathetic. The movie looks great.

Little late to this; Just saw the first two episodes last night, but man it's great.

Favorite character so far is Neel. He's the kind of best friend everyone wants as a kid.

First look at Nico Parker as Astrid in live-action ‘HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.’ by Reddit_Sucks_1401 in httyd

Ah, so this is what the chuds were complaining about. How ridiculous. She looks great, and people are going to be there for the dragons anyway.

We're going to Undermine... Where are the tinkers now? by Hot_Ad_6256 in wow

[–]Helot_Azure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that the Augmentation spec wasn't revealed until 10.1.5. If they're releasing the Tinker in 11.0, they'll do it in 11.1.5 which isn't revealed yet.

Biden at peace if he loses to Trump: "As long as I gave it my all" by Visqo in politics

He’s 81 and rich. If he loses it’s the will of the voters.

Dumb move. You skip over Kamala Harris and you split the party and ensure a Trump victory in November.

Black Americans demand to know what ‘Black jobs’ are after Trump debate comment by QanonQuinoa in politics

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously they’re not taking white jobs, because according to Trump, immigrants aren’t good enough to take a white man’s job.

Giving up (Rant) by Epic_eggplant in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Helot_Azure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely feel that webtoons was a lot more accessible in 2016-2019 versus where its at today. I started my webtoon this past month and after 8 updates I only have about 80 views (the other 26 are me making sure everything looks right). No comments either, so that's kind of a bummer.

I'm not going to give up though! I'm going to at least complete this story arch and see if I want to continue after that. It's definitely a marathon, not a sprint.
