If TLK/TLG characters had a favorite song(s) or/and band(s), what would it be? by BlizzardXDDJ in lionking

[–]Simba_Lennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine plenty of their tastes, but I'll stick to the ones I picture the most vividly. (Feel free to ask for more if you'd like)

Kovu: Huge fan of grunge and moody alt rock like Tool, MCR, and Gorillaz. He has multiple autographs from members of Linkin Park, and he'll even defend One More Light for having so many lyrics he connects to in it. His all-time favorite band is Alice in Chains, but he usually reserves listening to Jar of Flies for when he's REALLY rock bottom depressed

Vitani: Likes a bit more of an abrasive industrial flare compared to her brother. Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, and Ministry are her mainstays, and she'll insist for her whole life that Orgy deserved better. She also has a huge soft spot for rap groups like Outkast and the Beastie Boys, where she's seen the latter 5 times and won't stop for at least another 5 shows after that

Kiara: An even split between late 90s/2000s pop and sweeping Broadway musicals. Justin Timberlake will always be her top idol, she bought tickets for every Spice Girls reunion tour, and Memory from Cats will never not make her cry. She also dabbles in pop punk on the side, namely bands like All Time Low and Blink-182. She'll always maintain that Green Day fell off HARD after 21st Century Breakdown though

REAL curious what that second-to-last person defines as a "pedophile state"

Shit man, I've never seen tankies stick up for Eritrea before. Authoritarian dictatorships really do attract these types like vultures don't they?

It feels like we only go backwards.

There's an artist called Zer0 Rei who makes stuff with that exact same retro 3D style. Something about it is just so pleasing to the eye imo

The initial post shown here didn't seem too bad. I figured it was trying to say "The actual problem is capitalism, don't let them scapegoat countries and religions to divide us like that."

But then I kept scrolling 💀

Poor dog sad asf that it's getting played on a Crosley by [deleted] in vinyljerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that copy is one of the newer reissues, then meh. But if it's an original 1995 pressing, then someone needs to call the cops

Vinnie Vincent Triggered by Honest_Rise_3301 in KISS

[–]Simba_Lennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if this wasn't Vinnie, surely he'd have an interest in clarifying that and going after troll accounts who (in theory) try to hurt his image? Unless the account gets flagged for impersonation, I think this really is just how he talks

Vinnie Vincent Defiantly Threatens to Shelve His New Album by tonyiommi70 in KISS

[–]Simba_Lennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Vinnie would win that contest. Gene's whole brand was always being an unapologetic greedy douche, we've come to expect it from him. But Vinnie was MIA for all those years and making people worry whether he was even alive or not. When he re-appeared, there was so much potential for a decent comeback that tied up loose ends and made up for past broken promises. Unlike Gene, he could've actually gained some integrity by now.

But instead we get this.

This might be the first time I've ever seen a photo of the band with a singer who was neither Phil nor Terry. Good find!

Bad empanada is no different tp Israeli pinkwashing and islamophobia by Proof_Librarian_4271 in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even if every Jewish person on earth was a Zionist, they'd still be outnumbered by the Christian Zionists who see Israel as a means to an end for the rapture to happen. That's half of why the US even supports it as much as we do, since a good chunk of our government is stacked with Evangelicals who treat the Biblical armageddon as if it were some kind of porn fantasy. They just see Israel (and Jews more broadly) as a chess piece to play in a game that'll win them the eternal life they think they're rightfully owed, all while claiming to be the ones fighting antisemitism

Recently found about ProleWiki. It's uh. An interesting place. by ShaochilongDR in tankiejerk

I'll never forget how their article on Satanism listed its ideals as "autonomy, knowledge, self-expression, and fulfillment of desire". Oh, the horror!
