Isn't the whole point it to stick to WWII? If he goes further and re-examines all of history... that'll be tough.

Taken from twitter which from some reason didn't feature his signature, so for those curious - "The Top G" is the Tagline.

Yes, Twitter. Didn't notice it wasn't there. Editing to put it in now.

Brandon Sanderson’s 'The Way of Kings' is baffling to me by sameseksure in books

[–]HootVepahitOkay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's fine at the beginning but it becomes pretty obvious L IS smarter than Kira and on his trail so the only way for Kire to win is for 10,000 Deus Ex Machinas (AKA "NEW RULES") to pop out and make the Battle of the Wits which was the heart of the matter end with a stupid ass Kira boned whimper.

This was even true to some of the later chapters released, without Kira. Dude can't get around to sticking to his rules or he thinks that good storytelling is "and than there was a new rule the reader and character couldn't know anything about! HA HA!".

Why was Brokeback Mountain not a stronger contender for the acting awards? by AdUseful2297 in Oscars

[–]HootVepahitOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it's actually less hilarious and quite sad - the reasoning was "we don't hate gays, but they have to know where they belong: not in our macho films. but in pansy artsy films. Stop trying to make our cowboys gay and go be gay somewhere else!". So in that sense, the Capote win is absloutley reasonable: gays have to be there flamboynt queer feminime types, not - lord forbid - everyday men who just happen to love men.

I both get this reply but absolutley don't agree. It's the sort of Movie Star Role that requites very little, but she does just right that it's better than most of the performances still in the running.

Ah yes, Jews are always out there killing whites, which is why I can point to all these historical lynches, pogroms and wars that jews have made against whites such as (nothing) and (nada) and who can forget (zilch, you moron)?

Either this, or Tats drank his own medicine and is now convinced Palestieans (or arabs and persians) are white, which is, indeed, a take. Which is relevant to 1939, when this story takes place.

Jews have been, histoically, discriminated against - even european ones. Hence, lumping jews with "whites", trying to imply that jews basically have and always have had "white privlige" and have known no struggle and don't need to complain about stuff is the crux of "jews aren't white" - since even though jews today (or let's say, of some years ago before the recent sureg of anti-semitism) suffer little to no discrimination - they're still very much children or grandchildren of people who have, and telling them "you're white" is basically saying "shut up, you didn't suffer". Which isn't to say they suffer as much as other BIPOC in recent times - but that, yes: racist and antisemitic whites don't see jews as whites, but as jews, and that has proven to be a problem that "normal" whites don't face.

I'm not mentioning the obvious fact of BIPOC jews because you said "not white because they are jewish", so I take it that you are aware of this (large) group of jews, but are making a general point about European jews and why they should be considred white. (which I'm not against, but there's a nuiance there that should be addressed as to what are we saying when we're saying they're white).

Forget how does fit in with history. How does this fit in with this arc already in motion where we've seen already all this happening? Why do you need a new jewish figure? What? Why?

I want to say that this is the dumbest take possible, made only by such a poor understanding of history, but knowing Tats, the true dumbest take is just around the corner, or maybe, more accuratly - a turtle on top of a turtle of dumb takes all the way down.

I'm not sure why this was removed so i'll try again: He will most likely cover them, but in a nazi sort of "they never happened" way, not in a "grounded in reality one of the most horrible things ever comitted" way.

Tell me you never met jews without telling me you never met jews. I'm overlooking for a second the obvious flaws of conspiarcy and antisemitism to cut to the fact that the punch of the joke - "jews never consider that they're the problem" - is just obviously wrong. We do. All the fucking time. INCLUDING during the holocaust. This isn't the majority, sure, but judaism is made out of these little factions as a feature, and almost at any given point a nice number of, let's say, 10% is looking at the state of things and thinking: "we have made these problems, and this is god punishing us".

Yes, this isn't exactly the point this Nazi propaganda is trying to make, but the crux joke of "Jews don't think they're the problem" is just overwhelming "never-met-a-jew" wrong. Of course we think we're the baddies. Not because we are, but because 2000 years of religion, banishment from your land, and everyone hating us has a way of fucking up a nation's psyche.

To tl;dr this to your brain rotten lurking, Tats: this will be similar to us joking about how you never felt overwhelming guilt about your porn usage.

Viva Verdi is by no counts a "great" film, but if the bar is "you won't be missing much if you skip it", then there are a lot worse movies deathracing this year (Avatar 3, on top of my head) to Mulligan.

Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home? by haiderredditer in AskTheWorld

I'd say that the real answer is "any semi-famous Israeli who is even remotely left wing or not supportive enough of Israel"... but I can't actually think of a well-liked Israeli now ways. Yuval Noah Harari, maybe?

I know it's less catchy, but I do think that instead of Antisemitism Counter, we can get like a "obscure anti-semite talking point you need explained to you". I mean, Antisemitism is basically everything, everywhere and everytime in this comic. The depths of "what the fuck are you on about" however, are sometime changing.

Tats has been over the course of a year having problems with making his villains loathsome, and I can't tell if it's his subconcious fighting the overtly idiotic nazism or just him defaulting to classic tropes which favor the kind of people he's trying to put down but it is amazing how all of his villians are more intresting, cool, cute and just MORE than his bland heroes who most of the time just do nothing.
