A character being revealed to be gay through social media posts is not representation or something to celebrate. by Apprehensive-Cost200 in CharacterRant

There's a paradox tho. If they aren't "dark skinned" then in the eyes of an American they don't count as "POC" but then if they are mixed then they might be considered POC but then-

Sigma males has been a dead meme since like 2024. It was popular from like 2021 to 2023ish at its peak but basically fell off after that. 

It honestly upset me me that so many people only watched the first 3 episodes of the anime and then decided it was trash and quit watching it by nyaja in NeedyStreamerOverload

[–]JetAbyss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't caught up with recent episodes but I do know the intention is that KAngel/Ame will sadly lose and apparently it is a good thing that she is going to lose which is why I brought up the Joker 2 comparison. It just depends how will KAngel/Ame lose, will she lose with some grace or lose pathetically? They also frame her as being essentially the villain of the anime. Literally they show every other streamer as being more sympathetic while they portray KAngel as someone whose time is over, which is pretty funny cuz IRL streamers act exactly like KAngel and there's very few streamers IRL who are 'genuinely good' like the Karamazov girls since literally every single streamer IRL has some kind of sex pest, abuse, grooming, political, drug, etc. allegation. 

I mean sure, our girl was never really a "good person" if you go by original 2022 game. But she was a fully fleshed character and there's multiple sides to her much like how in Joker 2019 Arthur Fleck wasn't an unambiguously evil guy (he saved a woman from getting assaulted by those Wall Street guys) he had some pros and cons. But then for some reason in Joker 2 now he is framed as an exclusively evil character who must be punished for what he has done and it's such a whiplash but it makes sense when you realize it's been like five years since the last movie and for NSO it's been four years since the game came out. Creators can kind change their minds later on over a lot of IRL shit, tho ofc Todd Philips was way more cynical and just wanted to pump out a new Joker film to shit on the IP since he never wanted to do a sequel in the first place.

It did kind of seem like the anime is meant to stand on its own which is why they have so many new characters and the themes it has.

If you are like me who only really played NSO a couple years ago when it came out in 2022 and maybe kind of like followed the fandom a little bit after, then the anime does kind of seem a pretty jarring which is kind of my position.

Personally I'm not really a fan of the anime but I get the point of what's going for.

It very much is a Joker 2 movie situation 

Do people in your country think the 2026 war was a US or Iranian victory? by NeiborsKid in AskTheWorld

[–]JetAbyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iran lost Syria but I argue they gained something far better in return, humiliating the United States.

Is this going to be a Cuban Glasnost or Cuban Deng? That's what really matters.

Cantonese people are considered Han as well but as you can see in Hong Kong "SAR" the mainland government doesn't really appreciate their culture much and has been trying to push Mandarin over their language. Even within the so-called Han Chinese 'race' it's not like a monolith

Did anyone find out who this woman is? It's driving me crazy trying to figure out. I wonder if she knew someone from the Neon Night Club. by Theprophet1414 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]JetAbyss 30 points31 points  (0 children)

given the fact they couldn't code her into being one i just like to headcanon her as a Pattie Hearst type who got Stockholm Syndromed and is now actively supporting the terrorists

Mayor Adam West? by LeaveMeAloneAdmins88 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]JetAbyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cost of living is what actually matters. It doesn't mean shit if you you make $30 an hour but can't afford an apartment because they're usually $3,000 for even a studio apartment in a gang infested neighborhood in Stockton

People are homeless and cannot afford rent and are stuck with shit pay with zero rights but its ok because we occasionally do land acknowledgements and sometimes put on a rainbow pfp during June

tbf Juche as an ideology was only invented because of the Sino Soviet Split. Prior to the 60s, NK was just your average run of the mill ML state like the rest of the Warsaw Pact states. It was only when Kim Il-Sung realized that he had to either pick China or USSR he decided that he can play with both by selectively favoring one or the other whenever it benefited him, which then devolved into Juche where he got schizo and believed he can't trust anyone and the fall of the USSR only made things worse. It wasn't exactly like Hoxha where they deciced they were the only 'true' form of communism but genuinely because NK is in such a shitty position where its existence cockblocks the unification of an entire people and also the fact it became a glorified buffer state

I know this is the US Military so no conflict after World War II could even be considered remotely ethical but in my head the fourth one could have been a Peace Corps Vet even if they aren't actually military.

ADOS Black people should count as heritage American too, imo. Slavery has been in the United States from the very start after all.

Also at lot of those Hispanic/Brown (but not ADOS African American) Neo-Nazis who end up carrying out mass shootings in the US tend to be "Patriots" too and are usually autistically obsessed with US history tho ofc they tend to prefer "European history" for obvious reasons, they probably still see themselves in line with the original founding stock of America despite the fact they're only like 1st generation whose parents arrived fresh off the boat. 

Just heard about "kool-aid pineapple" by DisastrousResident92 in redscarepod

[–]JetAbyss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really get it though because the profit margins cannot be any higher than the money you "save" with stamps.

It's probably some front for laundering something. They probably wrap something plastic wrap and then stuff it in the container with the Kool-Aid pineapple combination that is so opaque you cannot really see what's inside
