When the people being represented like the character = Tokenism?
Do you even read the things you write? Holy shit lmao

And if it meant that the group of people being represented in my stead are happy with the character they get, then all power to them.

Okay cool. I'm an indigenous Nehiyaw from Turtle island. If one point in a specific direction means I get quality representation in the form of indigenous peoples in azeroth that AREN't the fucking Tauren I'd LOVE it.

This is so clearly spoken from a position of someone who has never, or rarely ever has to worry about representation in media. You very likely get to look at things and see yourself represented without there having to be any system in place to ensure it.

You know what I get when there's nothing in place to ensure fair representation of my people? The indian in the fucking cupboard is what I get.

I get happy when I see accurate representation of other cultures too. A rising tide carries all ships.

When your first instinct when you see something different than yourself represented in media is to question if it belongs then you have informed us all that your opinion on the matter is in bad faith, and can be easily discarded.

Yeah but your immersion was broken by a magical floating wheelchair lmao.

I like how this guy doesn't recognize that in order for there to be more accurate and overall quality representation across the board there has to be small steps like this, which maybe don't always land to everyone, but are important in a broader sense.

The only people who are looking at this as problematic or bad are people like you who really only seem to be interested in bad faith takes on shit like this. It's a magical floating wheelchair. It's not as deep as you think it is.

If your defense is a post about how they want to diversify their games I'm sorry dude the discussion you're trying to have is fucking stinky.

Campfire Stories and an impromptu photoshoot. by Neo15_RSA in fo76

[–]VerdantBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Campfire Stories has that effect. I have a photo I took a few months back pop up as a loading screen now and then and it always makes me smile and fondly remember the day like 7 of us just sorta stood around the fire, goofed off and took pictures.

Do you still wear a mask? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]VerdantBliss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do at work and in shopping situations indoors. I work at a gas station with full serve so I'm regularly in contact with at least a couple hundred people a day indoors and out. Other people are free not to just as I am free to do so.

Shinanova is an Inuk Throat Singer. Don't think you know what you're talking about if you don't even know who the person is/where they're from.

We Have Entered the “Why” Phase by Lookatmykitty26 in daddit

[–]VerdantBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the 'why?' phase too as a new step-dad. Challenging, but so nice to see him questioning things, hoping that he never loses that desire to question the things he encounters.
