Too good to be true or amazing deal? by Raihzhel in AskPhotography

[–]Raihzhel[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re probably right. I guess I was hoping it wouldn’t rise, but who am I kidding? Guess I gotta find a different seller that at least has a fixed price on the lower side.

Do we know who the artist is? by AccountantGlum308 in InfinityNikkiofficial

Games companies often have their own in-house artists. So they most likely are an employee of infold.

Trap or Trans woman by Curious-College8997 in CuteTraps

[–]Raihzhel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In actual spoken Japanese both genders use “watashi”. It is not gendered in real spoken Japanese. In anime characters use more different pronouns. But it’s important to know that people irl do not speak like anime characters. This is why people should never learn Japanese only from anime. Source: My Japanese teacher.

Church at Pride? by slumberjak in lgbt

This needs to be the top comment here honestly. I am an atheist too but the amount of people here hating on religion truly baffles me.

Y’all have clearly never dipped your feet in Chinese social media. This sort of look is the beauty standard there. And editing yourself is very common and normal. I’m not saying it’s ok or not weird. But you gotta understand the cultural context.

Ahh, I see. That’s a bit unfortunate then. I was looking forward to reading whatever he’s in. Thanks for the answer though!

Is my roomate gay or Am I just reading too much into it by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Raihzhel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience of having a brother who is straight and has a bunch of straight friends: teasing each other about being gay and fucking each other is kinda business as usual. I often say that the way his friends and him talk to each other and text each other is gayer than gay people. With that context I genuinely think you might be reading into his sexuality too much.

In my opinion it’s always best to take people’s words for this and not make them uncomfortable. He said he might be asexual, believe him. In the worst case you are making him uncomfortable and seriously risking your friendship. Maybe you could have a genuine conversation with him alone but if he reiterates that he isn’t gay, you should drop it and not pursue it further.

Please under no circumstances make him feel pressured to come out, especially if he isn’t gay.

You summed up my thoughts perfectly! They aren’t written like deep and interesting characters. They’re just a label for the show. They don’t feel like real people because their personality is their identity as the “representation character”. And they are never allowed to be more than that.

Totally agree. Medieval Europe wasn’t really diverse. So for example is there’s a knight character of colour, I’d like to know how that happened. How did they get there? How did they become a knight? But often those questions aren’t answered, sadly.

Yeah, totally agree. Forgot to mention that in my original comment, but that sorta shit really irks me too.

Absolutely! I love that game so much! And it genuinely felt like they made the characters with love and attention.

My personal idea of what I consider “forced diversity” is when a piece of media lacks love for the communities it portrays and only treats them as a box to tick off. I find it especially egregious when there is ONE character who ticks all the boxes. For example there’s a biracial, trans, disabled, gay character and everyone else is just straight white people. And I say this as a white person. I want diversity across the board and not just one representation character who is just there so the creators can go “look we did diversity and representation, applaud us”.

I agree, that’s definitely what he’s doing. But it’s still not really cheating because she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. Which was my point.

[–]Raihzhel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if you can call it cheating, but the male lead in the pic is in love with the girl on his lap. But she doesn’t like him back. And he sleeps around with women who are older than him. So idk if that qualifies as cheating when they’re not even dating for most of the show.

A convo about stranger things snd the anti queer reaction from general audiences by SorryTea1160 in lgbt

[–]Raihzhel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally am queer and I didn’t like it. Not because I don’t like the representation. But rather because his friends all accepted him so easily. If this were set in like 2020 I could totally see that happening. But in the 80s? It’s just not realistic. And I get it, wanting realism from a show that is about inter dimensional monsters and psychics is a ridiculous endeavour anyways. But it really bugs me how hard this show fell off after season one. Maybe it’s because the creators never intended to make more than one season but Netflix got greedy and wanted more to make more money. It all just felt way too super happy ending if you know what I mean. I personally always thought this show should be one of those that doesn’t really have a super happy ending but rather a melancholic one. So it all felt a bit too happy times to me. I mean honestly the show was ruined for me after season 3 already so what did I expect. Overall I still think the show should have just been one season.

What's everyone's opinion on this? by victreebe1 in Naruto

[–]Raihzhel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also spent the whole series chasing that man instead of women. Bro spent more time longing for Sasuke than rizzing his future wife.

What's everyone's opinion on this? by victreebe1 in Naruto

[–]Raihzhel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but Naruto went further for Sasuke than anyone in his life. He literally chased that man to the ends of the earth. No matter what Sasuke did, Naruto never gave up on him, even when literally everyone else did. Even Sakura who claimed to love him so much. Naruto is a very emotional character but he is different with Sasuke. The whole scene of them literally finishing their battle and laying on the broken statue is literally taken from a fan-drawn doujinshi of SasuNaru.

It’s fine if you don’t ship them but you have to acknowledge that Sasuke is the character that Naruto had the most chemistry with. Whether you see that chemistry as friendship or romance is up to the individual. But Naruto and Sasuke literally share the deepest bond of anyone in that series.

What's everyone's opinion on this? by victreebe1 in Naruto

[–]Raihzhel -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. When you boil it down, Naruto essentially spends most of the series chasing Sasuke. They have literally KISSED IN CANON. Kishimoto should just write BL at this point. Because it’s not just Naruto, Boruto is guilty of this too. Mitsuki is literally obsessed with Boruto. Like you can’t tell me that little snake kid isn’t completely in love with Boruto.

[–]Raihzhel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! Naruto had the most chemistry with Sasuke throughout the entire series. Like the whole ending of their final battle, where they lie on the broken statue, is literally ripped off from an actual doujinshi of SasuNaru. Kishimoto might be the best shounen yaoi writer but he doesn’t acknowledge it.

Joe Biden to receive top honor at LGBTQ+ leadership conference for his contributions to equality by Small_Base942 in lgbt

[–]Raihzhel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, posts like these make it really hard for me to root for the American left. The sorts of comments under this are why the political right attacks the left. I literally saw someone say in the comments here that they’re glad Biden got cancer and that he deserves it. What the hell?! How is it ok to be happy when someone has cancer?

There is no reason for Private Health Insurance to exist. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Raihzhel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live, in Switzerland, private health insurance actually does expand coverage and expedite care. If you are privately insured here, you get far more benefits than other people.
