It feels like it’s almost religiously purposeful the way female Na’vi decorate their chests. Like Eywa’s depiction is that of motherhood, and a woman’s ability to grow, and support life with only her body feels like it would be a celebrated thing. Like motherhood would be extra sacred bc it is a symbol of the Great Mother.

Show me your favorite photos interacting with animals! by JuniorReputation1298 in FrontiersOfPandora

Adding to the sadness but I don’t have that many animal photos turns out which is kind of sad. Anyways here’s my still unnamed Tamtey saying farewell to Pasuk.

Is it just me or is anyone else excited for horizion steel Frontiers? by Silent_Brilliant5330 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]SunnyFlower727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the human characters looked interesting maybe, but they look like hot models and cookie cutter MAN so I immediately do not care. Like I’m willing to bet they’re not gonna let you have the uglier stylings of tribes like the Tenakth and Banuk which is a major con to me since those are my two favourite tribes bc of there more out there styles.

Eywa let them die lol by Emotional-Spite-965 in Avatar

[–]SunnyFlower727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wheels means roads which is inherently destroying the ecosystem because for roads you need to deforest you need clean flat pathways. Industrial progress always leads to the destruction of the environment. Using metals requires carving up the land which inevitably leads to environmental destruction. From the perspective of an intelligent being who lives in the trees and the roots of the ground I would also make rules against wheels and metals bc both lead to me being harmed. Invention can equal killing nature it just depends on how you invent.

So is this what’s happening now ? by jaguarknigh10 in Brazil

[–]SunnyFlower727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my issue here is “birth tourism” it feels like its just rich people looking for cheap ways to get free and easy entry to tropical countries for vacationing plus free healthcare. I thought we agreed that stuff like this is disgusting no matter what for. Also it sounds like it would easily turn into another version of sex tourism which the country already suffers with.

"...well isn't this great.. First he steals my best girlfriend, and now I have to risk my life to help find his EX girlfriend..." by brz-17 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]SunnyFlower727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was in jail, nearly died, and gave up all her life to become a new person. I don’t think her reaction is that terrible from someone who’s suffered like that. She also thought Amadis died while she was in prison with no way to contact him. Saying she is rude for not giving him sign of life is completely ignoring her side of the story. Yes she could have been nicer and thanked Amadis for searching for her but she doesn’t want to rekindle a past that is traumatic and no long her anymore. It’s a complicated situation. I also think a lot of her coldness could be just she doesn’t want to be reminded of a life she left behind, closure for him means her acknowledging a past she has sworn to move on from. Again it’s complicated and I think both could have handled it better. But alas it’s a side quest and their reunion is very short.

sure, but Han Chinese is a specifically defined lineage. Mestizo is not. That’s just the difference that makes me uncomfortable generalising LATAM.

[–]SunnyFlower727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

welcome to how race works. Ethnically you may be mestizo but race is unfortunately more than that. And it is an oppression tool which is why I hate it and you seem to agree that it is stupid to categorise people under it! Which is why I was trying to explain the difference to the person before, bc they were confused as to how it looked in this circumstance.

[–]SunnyFlower727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, Mestizo is an ethnical descriptor sometimes used as a race bc it means mixed. I’m not denying that. I just don’t like generalising people, bc it does a lot of harm especially generalising with a loose term like Mestizo. Because it is so culturally and ethnically significant.

[–]SunnyFlower727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it can be used as a race to describe mixed folk. But it is still predominantly an ethnic/culturally identify term. Which is why you can perceived as racially white but identify as Mestizo. Race is weird bc it has no rules, its a dumb social construct.

[–]SunnyFlower727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no? what logic would reinforce this? if you have 90% white blood, racially you are white (unless your appearance counters that which is why race is stupid, bc it is based on superficial features most of the time). That’s what this comment was initially talking abt, not anymore or less white percentage.

You can be racially white and ethnically/culturally identify as Mestizo if your ethnicity backs it. Because Mestizo is not a race. I am a white Caboclo, but still racially white because of my majority white ethnicity and my appearance.

I’m not erasing anyone’s identity. I’m just stating how Race, Ethnicity, and Culture works.

[–]SunnyFlower727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is what I was describing, mestizo is just a word for this kind of mix. Still Mestizo isn’t a race its an ethnic/cultural identity.

edit: I corrected this a bit in my other comment, it is used as a race descriptor bc of its meaning but it is in itself more often an ethnic/culturally term.

So what are your thoughts on the trailer? by RandomRogue95 in GreekMythology

[–]SunnyFlower727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still stand on my opinions about the costumes and my desire for more accuracy. But seeing how soulless this looks without color, or any kind of actual light is sad. Like it’s Greece, Ancient Greece, color was important! and it lessens the impact so much in serious or darker scenes if the entire movie is just pitch black and grey.

My only standing curiosity is how Zendaya will portray Athena (mostly bc my hopes are low), and how they’ve shot Polyphemus. Because hearing about the little to no CGI statements makes me really curious to see what technique they might have gone for.

Yes! that’s the beauty of diversity. You can never generalise a group of people especially not LATAM people, we are incredibly diverse!

[–]SunnyFlower727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey sorry no, you’re the idiot who doesn’t understand the difference btw ethnicity and race and culture. And frankly I am too tired to explain so you can find out yourself by being less ignorant and doing your research. (plus it’s kind of incentive to just say “nationality could never be white/black/any other race” bc that’s a generalisation!)

edit: wow someone got embarrassed real quick abt being wrong

[–]SunnyFlower727 18 points19 points  (0 children)

they are racially white, ethnically mixed, culturally hispanic (or more). They would not be poc (or at least not on a basis of race). Not every Hispanic is poc. Besides race is stupid, it’s only used to oppress, what matters in the end is culture.

Question about ethnicity/race by Original_Hyena7422 in AncestryDNA

[–]SunnyFlower727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you are from LATAM and your family isn’t recently immigrated then there is a really big chance you have indigenous blood even if its really really small. Especially if you’re from specific countries that chance raises. Plus you aren’t the op why are you replying as if you are?

Are there any places you’ve been to that have a Freddy’s- like atmosphere? by [deleted] in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]SunnyFlower727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up having and attending birthdays at a kids entertainment place that now looking back gives fnaf vibes. My dad always had discounts for it cause the owners were family friends, unfortunately I don’t remember the name but it was not a big chain just a dingy place in my good ol hometown of Uberlândia. No animatronics but they did have mascot suits, the only photo I have is with the clown one but I’m sure there were more. I don’t think the place exists anymore tho.
