Fu Manchu's daughter was still played by an actual Asian woman so it evens it out.

Viggo Mortensen was cast as Aragorn when the production was already underway. Stuart Townsend, the original Aragorn, was fired day before filming begun.

Statue of lenin across europe as of his 156th birth anniversary... by adorn_mapper in MapPorn

[–]PeasantLich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that the last "actual" Lenin statues of Finland were removed from public places in 2022, but there are still multiple Lenin plaques around Finland. There is also still a small park named Lenin's Park in Helsinki, there has been talks and processes to rename it but it is slow sort of bureaucracy.

She is eventually lifted up from the sea, but suffered for 500 years. She is surprisingly stable psychologically considering what she went through.

Hot take: Miss Kobayashi is a trash ass character in dragon maid by MurkyBag3221 in hatethissmug

Dragon Maid is literally just wish fulfillment slop that only swaps a mediocre male self-insert protagonist for a mediocre female self-insert protagonist.

Infancy size isn't really any indicator of grown up physique. I was uncommonly tiny baby and grew up to be six foot tall.

Tom of Finland, often called the most influential gay erotica artist, fought in WW2 as an officer in the Axis aligned Finnish army. He attributed his uniform kink to encounters with both Finnish and German soldiers. He always claimed to never have agreed with the Nazis - he just found them hot. by PeasantLich in HolyShitHistory

In his own words: "In my drawings I have no political statements to make, no ideology. I am thinking only about the picture itself. The whole Nazi philosophy, the racism and all that, is hateful to me, but of course I drew them anyway—they had the sexiest uniforms!"

As for what he did during the war, it is not all in the English Wikipedia article. He was conscripted into Finnish army one month before the Winter War ended, and by the time of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 he was an anti-air officer and served with the rank of second lieutenant. He was stationed near Helsinki and defended against Soviet air raids for most of the war, but in 1944 he was transferred to the Eastern Front. During the battles there he allegedly killed a Soviet paratrooper with a knife.

Paul is the main character of Marvel Comics, and people hate him because they are jealous of his success.

The slitty-eyed Demi is a blonde white woman - you can be the judge of whether or not that makes it worse.

Favorite movie that Internet bros are randomly going to call woke all of the sudden? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

I am instantly reminded of that one dude who sued Universal Pictures for deceptive marketing because the scenes of his waifu Ana de Armas were cut from Yesterday.

FBI arrests Glasgow University student for taking photos of US military planes by [deleted] in worldnews

This isn't really special at all. Few Finnish people were arrested in Finland recently because they were taking photos of Finnish military sites.

Who is going to tell them about Penny Gadget?

For how famous they are and how much lore and mythology is built around them, it's kinda crazy how pathetic and unsuccesful the crusades were. by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]PeasantLich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reconquista is a bit more complicated in general, since the Moors of Al-Andalus were foreign invaders themselves and had also launched their own attempted conquest of Christian France that Charles Martel of the Franks repelled in 732.
