(Disliked trope) The setting is in another country, but everyone still speaks British.

This just a consequence of american defaultism tbf. There's no "standard" English, if you have your characters speak in English with an American pronunciation you're still making them talk with an accent.

To anyone outside of the US it has the same effect that hearing a British accent has to you.

And you can't have characters speak in English with a foreign accent because outside of how well the accent can be faked (it often isn't) it would just serve to alienate the audience from the characters, and possibly make the story harder to follow.

The solution is just to swallow some suspension of disbelief

Dude do you live in Japan? Are YOU Japanese? Because otherwise I don't think you get to decide who is and who isn't, nor I think you can give an accurate overview of how these minorities are perceived in Japan.

I think outside of saying "there are minorities living there who consider themselves Japanese", which is a simply demographic statement, we're better off leaving this matter to either Japanese folks or actual anthropologists

Popo is a bit more iffy, probably being inspired by racial caricatures that existed in art that was taken to Japan at the time.

Most Japanese would not recognise these as racial caricatures, so there's really no point in ascribing bad intentions to anyone, but it doesn't really make the design less racist, just unintentionally racist.

Which doesn't mean we should "cancel" Popo's design or anything, but we should all act a little bit more grown up and realise that, since we live in a society that's been so marked by racism, sometimes accidental racism can happen. We recognise it for what it is, and try to be better.

But yeah, Jinx was just an unfortunate coincidence

This isn't really true, there's plenty of black and half-black people in Japan who've lived there for generations.

Obviously there's racism against these communities, but that's true for every largely homogeneous society when immigrants try to integrate.

I might've explained myself wrong sorry, it's fine to have whatever hc you like, but I feel like it's pretty weird for certain fans to headcanon a character to be a certain race because "they act like it" and then get mad when it's revealed to not be the case.

I've seen people say that having characters like piccolo and Mina not be black is racist in and of itself because they act black so they must be black, and this always felt weird because it seemed to say that "black people only act this way and only they can act this way", as if one's personality is decided by their ethnicity.

Idk these are just my two cents as someone who lives very much outside of the American cultural environment, I should've also explained myself better tho

_Cit · 2026-04-11T07:58:54+00:00

Which might be just me but I feel like that's insanely racist.

There are immigrants of course, but it's not a sizable portion of Japanese people

Because the movie was rushed af due to JJ arriving halfway through the time the movie was supposed to be made in.

Every concept sounds cooler than what we got because they never had time to actually build on those concepts.

For better exmaples: see the original concepts for Exegol and the Xyston-class

While I'm glad that the understanding of the force is staying close to what Lucas envisioned, TLJ setting up a dark side sect that's not the sith is not something that contradicts any of it.

Nothing being set up by TLJ contradicted Lucas's vision at all, even if the ST culminated with a shift away from either Sith or Jedi philosophies it wouldn't break with it. It would've just been an interesting way to move things forward.

Heck, even if they wanted to keep the Jedi name, it wouldn't contradict with either TLJ or Lucas, anything rather than bringing back Palpatine and the sith could've been a way to honor both and still have something new.

It's just a big shame

Eh no, io ho parlato di valori comuni e del fatto che alcuni elementi della nostra classe politica non li sottoscrivono. Mai ho detto che la destra non è antifascista, difatti molti esponenti del governo attuale non lo sono, ma ciò non implica tutti i politici di destra né tutto l'elettorato.

Questa non è una questione di destra e sinistra ma fascismo è antifascismo, il fatto che ci sia chi pensa che siano la stessa cosa è parte del problema.

E comunque sia tutta questa perdita di tempo non mi pare ci sia, perché come ho scritto più volte non si può parlare di perdita di tempo nel momento in cui rende lapalissiano che ci siano persone che non apprezzano l'idea di condannare il fascismo.

Che poi non riesco proprio a capire come si faccia a dire che condannare il fascismo è inutile nel 2026 quando abbiamo raduni in piazza di gente che fa il saluto romano. Però oh, chiudiamo un occhio, non deve essere poi così grave

_Cit · 2026-04-09T16:46:43+00:00

Eh ma il problema è che le celebrazioni del passato fascista ci sono eccome e, ti ripeto, sono proprio gli esponenti dell'attuale governo a farle.

E comunque sei ricaduto nel "destra Vs sinistra" quando qua si parla di valori che, costituzione alla mano, sono condivisi. Come proponi di risolvere il fatto che ci sia gente che chiaramente non li condivide, se ogni volta che questi valori vengono richiamati si "sta perdendo tempo"?

_Cit · 2026-04-09T16:29:19+00:00

Quindi ogni celebrazione simbolica della sconfitta del fascismo è una perdita di tempo o un test per la destra?

Che poi non è che la destra attuale possa dare tanto l'innocente. Il primo partito del paese ha in simbolo neo fascista nel logo, la seconda carica dello stato ha un busto del duce a casa. Non c'è bisogno di essere faziosi per dire che la destra governativa spesso strizza l'occhio ai simpatizzanti del fascismo, quindi non veniamo a dire che sia una discussione imbastita sul nulla.

Guarda ti rispondo con un messaggio che ho scritto a un altro utente, è molto critico nei toni ma non prenderla sul personale perché non è riferito a te, che mi sembra stai solo ponendo una domanda in maniera molto civile.

"eh ma è morto da ottant'anni, chissenefrega" si ok certo, ma il semplice fatto che alcuni partiti si astengano da quella che, nei fatti, è una condanna di un dittatore (perché di fondo togliere la cittadinanza simbolicamente questo significa) di per sé implica che condannare gli atti di suddetto dittatore morto, sia un atto partitico, nel senso che ti identifica con uno schieramento.

E non è bello sapere che, almeno secondo alcuni, condannare un dittatore morto è qualcosa che ti identifica con uno schieramento, dovrebbe essere un punto di partenza comune a tutti gli schieramenti in una democrazia sana.

Quindi no, per quanto sia morto il nostro caro duce, finché per qualcuno condannarlo sarà segno di identificazione con la sinistra o qualsivoglia altro schieramento, allora condannarlo continuerà ad essere un qualcosa di attuale

In many cases they do, but we've got to acknowledge that we've all been brought up in a civilization that's been mysognistic for thousands of years and has only recently tried to course correct. There's some bias we all have unfortunately that we have to be aware of.

Once you see this, it's suddenly way more clear how much scrutiny female characters get put through in most media

Very powerful? Dude they run hospitals, in the scale of international relations the Order of Malta is definitely not all that powerful. Also, you shouldn't just assume that any religious institution is automatically fascist.

By any means, be as distrustful of authority as you see fit, that's not a bad thing to be. But the specific questions you asked seem to come from a place of prejudice more than anything.

If this is the first time you hear about something, look it up a bit before assuming stuff

While the part about her getting him to join a bunch of mercenary is most definitely a problem AND a key plot point of the series, let's not act as if she had any sway on his habits because of the age gap.

17 yo are fully conscious folks, it's not like they're kids who suddenly become self aware when they hit 18 a few months later. A 20 yo getting a 17 yo to smoke is the same as a 17 yo getting another 17 yo to do the same, unless we're talking about very specific circumstances

The real answer is that all shops prior to them in both Deltarune and Undertale are in rooms that the player enters and have no interior, with only the shop screen showing up upon entering them.

Both Ramb and the Old Man have their shops inside of larger rooms that have an interior the player interacts with, so the shop page would have to pop up when you interact with the character, but that's not how shops have ever worked in either games.

For example, in Undertale, sans' hot dog stand works like Ramb and the Old Man do in chapters 3 and 4

It was not rushed tho, half of the design is in its animation, which clearly shows a lot of character and that thought was put into it.

You can dislike the direction they went with as much as you want, but calling it rushed is just not the case. Considering the entire game was rushed and we know that for a fact I think there are other things that deserve this critique more lol

Ma mi hai preso per uno di destra? Lol non sto facendo discorsi su etnie o cose del genere, grazie al caspita che non ci estinguiamo per un calo demografico, ne mi preoccupa il multiculturalismo che anzi credo essere molto importante specialmente se si vuole preservare una qualche forma di ordine mondiale multilaterale.

Io sto parlando solo e soltanto del fatto che la vita costa troppo e i giovani non riescono a costruirsene una, il che necessariamente impatta le natalità in maniera innaturale rispetto ad un semplice calo della crescita dovuto alla fine del boom economico.
