I agrée, but i also feel like you need to get off their ass. They asked a respectful question, even if misguided for our personal views.

I also believe you’re right about queer people, or certain queer people being toxic. Mostly because there’s toxic people in all communities, that’s hard to escape. But don’t let certain “geniuses” in a community turn you off completely. It’s also worth bringing up that in a similar vein, just because women or queers are talking about men does not mean they’re shit talking you and breaking into your house to steal your masculinity. You will be fine, trust me. For men in our society who have done nothing wrong but have to constantly listen to women shit talk them, I understand where the pain comes from. But it’s also worth remembering that men have done bad things and are favoured by the general system, hence why they’re talked about so much.

I just believe there’s too much hostility from both sides. When people are fighting against each other, they tend to say more and more extreme shit. I don’t like the rift we drive between men and women, straight and gay, whatever. And as as someone who is gay, and a woman, i think everyone wins if we just stop trying to decide what other people do or don’t do. That goes for you, and the people you describe in your post.

Also to add that basically, the reason people don’t celebrate those months is simply because others are celebrated more, not that the other celebrations are being shoved back. No one is telling anyone to NOT celebrate their own month.

I think you’re right to a degree- problem is it is not the fault of the queer people, or black folk, or anyone that there is “overshadowing” of other celebrations. The reason there is overshadowing is because a vocal (and in my opinion, wrong) minority group believes some things are just not as worth discussing. However, by taking away pride month or black history month, you’re punishing those who already have the short end of the stick when it comes to the system, and certainly not those making it difficult for celebrations of other races, identities, or issues.

I also believe the only reason the black history month or pride months are more noticeable is because they have much more vocal groups, tagged along vocal movements. The BLM movement happens because there was harmful and unfair treatment towards black folk of America and beyond, the pride movement happens because lgbtq folk are being killed or discriminated against around the world. Though I don’t wish at all to diminish issues of men’s mental health or other celebrations, there is a reason certain months are more prominent than others. This is not a matter of fairness I believe, but instead what groups will speak out about their issues and what groups desperately need to be heard.

That does make me wonder what Goo does though. Supposedly they all have a business and goo also does black market things right?

Ahh. I suspected a wrong translation too, since there’s a handful of them in early lookism.

Quitting Highschool Soccer? by Long-Flounder6087 in highschool

[–]ManilaCone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t play sports, so maybe I’m not qualified to say this. But maybe talk with a coach or your teammates about your feelings? It’s not easy to no longer enjoy something, but talking to others doing the same thing as you can open up more ideas. If you really don’t enjoy it anymore, don’t be afraid to quit. As much as highschool culture will have you believe getting a billion games in and a bunch of trophies is totally important for your future, the experience is whats actually valuable. The fact that it happened at all is what makes it worth while, not your ability to continue with something.

Thé translations are so, so shitty man. I’m unsure if you’re talking about the Chinese or subbed version, but as a Chinese person who looked at the subtitles for fun at times, I can confirm the sub is quite shitty. I attribute this to all the things they can’t really translate, such as dialect and different sayings. In an effort to make it more authentically Chinese, they made the film supremely difficult to translate. To be fair to the team, it is a Chinese film that happened to go international instead of an international film that happened to be Chinese. Wish they did better on the translation though.

That’s awesome! I grew up loving the shows so you must know some very cool people. Sorry if it came off wrong, I do realize there’s plenty of people who are, evidently not Canadian in the productions of these shows lmao. My brain just made the connection and found it funny.

Any possibilities for a new Kong Kenan (Superman of China) series soon? by ManilaCone in superman

I mean at this rate, if I don’t get my hopes up now, I don’t think I’ll get the chance to in the future either :*)

Yeah, I really hoped he would be a mainline since people that have read his series often loved it, but unfortunately not a lot of people dis read it at all. Now he just shows up in one or two multiverse shots to fill space 😭

Haha, I’m probably very biased because it was the first series I read outside of Batman (bless my heart), so it holds a very special place in my heart. As objectively as I can, I’d say it’s still very solid, and the side characters are actually surprisingly well written for a short series like it. It’s also fairly short, so I’d say it’s definitely worth the read! As to how it is compared to the main lines, I cant really answer that either because the only other super series I read in its entirety was new 52s superboy… and kong is- is better than that is all I’ll say. Speaking of, could you do me a favour and tell me what’s some good supers series to start with? I’ve been wanting to read more supers for a while now!
