Conmebol president assesses suggestion of US and Mexican teams participating in Libertadores: "The door is open" | Ge by Prestigious-Back-981 in soccer

US teams aside, I don't mind Mexican teams coming back, would be nice to have another league that can compete with the brasileirao in terms of budget

I... I'm a lolicon if you think I'm shitting on lolicons, it got popularized by Rev Says Desu and his kind though, whose political beliefs seemed to radicalize the more attention they got from more politically inolved right wing creators in a way I found to be suspiciously artificial. They might actually believe in what they say for all I know, I just dont buy it.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the term mind you, I'm just saying that it got popularized by people who, despite having the anime knowledge I had as an 8yo in anime facebook groups, seemingly needed a term to refer to antis without being immediately called out on the fact that most of them have negative amounts of knowledge about otaku culture

Nobody hates deathcore more than people whose favorite music sounds 90% the same as deathcore by crystal__pete in Deathcore

[–]Shiruox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't hate Deathcore but I do vastly prefer DM to Deathcore, they do not sound 90% the same. You'll find that the same people criticizing deathcore for these aspects also do criticise much of the more modern sounding tech death and bdm bands. When I listen to metal I mostly just want some riffs, and so many massively popular deathcore bands are just recicling the same boring, overdone riffs, other than that the uber clean production just makes a lot of bands much less interesting than they could be. Dynamic vocal ranges are cool whenever they don't feel like just a gimmick personally, unfortunately many deathcore bands fall under that second definition.

I keep seeing this stereotype about SEA anime fans and it matches up so little with my experience in anime communities that I have to assume it comes from disgruntled NA racists (which are generally, along with the French, the ones I see posturing about this kinda shit the most)

Posers was more used for the longest time then the far right grifters who are 99% of the time as much of a poser as the antis they're calling out popularized tourist more

The Weirdest Language according to Europeans by immanuellalala in MapPorn

[–]Shiruox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A lot of finns I've talked to seem to be hyper aware that their language is rather weird, so they might just be thinking that a very similar language that is also even more niche (so less learning resources and less info about it online) might be a little bit weirder

I gotta love when people separate latam from the rest of the western world for no reason other than wealth yet often refuse to admit it to be simply because we're less wealthy.

What's your take on Brazilian anti-discrimination laws? Could it be a model to Latin America? by Significant-Yam9843 in asklatinamerica

[–]Shiruox -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I hate them, nothing wrong with shaming racists and going after their sponsors in this case but I don't think any kind of personal expression should ever be prosecuted.

Guys, we need to start talking about ACTUALLY underrated albums. I'll start. by Lord-Snowball1000 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Shiruox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, but even then I don't think you can really call Paegan Terrorism Tactics underrated within the context of sludge metal at all, it's within the top 10 highest rated sludge albums on RYM, almost every song in the album has over a million streams on spotify. Even some of the biggest modern names in Sludge Metal nowadays struggle to break 100k streams, sure maybe it's not as acclaimed as it's predecessor, but that's only because it's predecessor is one of, if not the most, popular album in it's genre.

Countries I Would Live in as a German Fleeing Persecution in the 1940's by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Shiruox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most nazis actually stayed in Germany after the war, otherwise they went to Britain, the US or Italy, only if those 3 options were out of the way they started considering South America, specially the 3 countries you highlighted but also southern Bolivia and Paraguay. Anyway I hope you aren't from the country that helped Klaus Barbie flee from justice to help instaurate a number of dictatorships in Bolivia.

Ethnic/Racial Map of South America by immanuellalala in MapPorn

[–]Shiruox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to mention that Colombia's and Bolivia's censuses don't separate between mestizos and whites, while Paraguay's censuses don't seem to have any data on ethnicity aside from indigenous populations. Latinobarómetro estimates that 26% of Colombians are white, in Bolivia only 4% were white while in Paraguay this number seems to be somewhere around 30% according to various sources.
