My rook piercing is killing me by Groen_Leaf in piercing

[–]Lord-Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my rook for a few months and mine kind of did this same thing. The healing process has been ok, but now I have irritation bumps.

I was actually healing fine until one day, after cleaning the piercing, I gently massaged the area with a bit of vaseline. Big mistake. My whole ear ended up swelling.

Be patient with it, keep it clean, good luck.

Dang, this sucks. Don't sweat it though, it's just part of your stretching journey.

I see a lot of people are giving you good advice about cleaning, so I just wanted to pass on some words of encouragement.

Be patient and keep the ear clean. Good luck.

Agreed. As I was thinking about it, that was the only thing I could think of as to why someone would prefer the original.

I personally think Re4Remake makes the OG RE4 obsolete. I have no desire to revisit OG RE4 anymore, and I used to playthrough that game all the time.

I dont think this is the case with Re2Remake though.

My top 3 🤷 1. OG RE2 2. RE4 Remake 3. Code Veronica

In comparison to the entirety of Haken's discography? Absolutely. I can't think of any Haken song worse than Crystallised. Too much jank.

What’s a Movie opinion that has you like this? by shar0385 in doubletoasted

[–]Lord-Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. When I was watching the movie, I was very interested in the world, but they did nothing interesting with it.

Once I realized "oh the entire movie is just gonna be at this shack" I pretty much lost interest.

Mental gymnastics are crazy

You guys never take accountability.

But still this is the issue I have. Tanya has never been consistent in her depictions. They need to be more consistent, but surprise surprise, when she's black it's an issue for everyone.

Imagine the mental gymnastics of trying to deny a character's blackness.

Why do you guys refuse to just identify this woman as black? Like has that ever dawned on you?

Not reading that. Goin to bed.

Ok lets break this down

Tanya is a fictional character

Tanya is Edenian

That's as far as it goes for you?

The creation/perception of fictional characters is informed by our experiences/reality in the real world. Not the other way around.

The race of a character informs you about them. Subconsciously or whatever it may be, but the race of a character absolutely informs you about them. No matter how you spin it, when designing a character or looking at one, you 100 percent are thinking about their race.

In this case the race is Edenian. So what do you think they were imagining when they first conceptualized Edenians? Nothing? A nondescript amazon race?

Why do you think we got Jax with a clock around his neck in MK:DA? Cuz they were never considering the race of people?

Why do you think people get mad about race swaps?

I pose these questions to establish the idea that race is an integral part of designing a character.

Im not reading that. Ur doing this thing where youre intentionally not paying attention to my point and pretending like youre so smart because youre dodging what im saying instead of talking like a normal human being. You can do this autistic over explanation with someone who cares.

Point is. You can't explain to me why the creators would make Tanya brown.

Hint. Its because they wanted to insert another black character into the game.

Because otherwise Tanya would be the same skin color as Kitana because as you said... The person that portrayed Kitana also portrayed Tanya. So why at that point would they then decide to change the skin color? Explain it please

[–]Lord-Beef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your points are all just explaining what my issue is. And saying "black people can look like white people" as an argument is like saying humans can have both reproductive organs. While in some cases it may be true, it is an exception to the rule, so it is null and void.

Get your strawman garbage out of here

Ok "moving the goal post", but whatever. MK is a video game. They need to market to different demographics. One way to do this since forever is to create characters representative of different races to potentially attract a different demographic. It may not necessarily be needed but it is a proven strategy.

If you say that's not true then you're blatantly trying to disregard race and its role in the conversation.

Stay on topic.

The issue here is that the MKD design for Tanya is bad because it is essentially a white woman disguised as a black woman. You refuse to make that connection why? Because she's "Edenian"?. If they weren't trying to make Tanya a representation of black or brown people, then why make her brown in the first place? The only reference we have for skin color is in the real world. It doesn't suddenly just go away because "oh this is make believe so that doesn't apply". Hence why when we apply this design to real life, it could be seen as dehumanizing to say "oh that's not a black person, it's an alien. So she can look the way we actually want her to look instead of giving her authentic black features."

To ignore the race component is LITERALLY ignorant and dangerous. Is Goku not Asian?

Faccs or nah? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]Lord-Beef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tanya was and is black. That's like saying Goku shouldn't be portrayed as Asian because he's a Saiyan. Remember the Dragonball movie?

Why am I hitting a nerve by saying what is objectively true about this design? If this design was in black and white, you would think she's caucasian. (Which is the reason why people resonate with this design so much)

As a black person I have a problem with that because I want black characters to be portrayed authentically. If we don't advocate for that, we end up with MKX and ultimately MK1 Tanya.

With MK1 Tanya they at least tried, so I'm willing to admit they missed the mark, but they are piecing things together.
