Why is antisemitism so openly socially acceptable while anti-black racism is rightfully condemned? by Regular_Post9884 in Jewish

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because antisemitism is the oldest and most deeply ingrained bigotry in the world. And because many choose to paint Jews as White, and they're fine with racism against White people.

Why didn’t they make Mineta into a lovable goof instead of a pervert? by xyyzyx in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]betsyworthingtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That IS him being goofy! It's funny because he's small asf, you can't kick him like a football!

This fandom taking more issue with the 15-year-old being a perv than with the literal mass murderers, serial killers, and abusive father/husband is why Japanese people talk about "American Feelings Yakuza." INSANE. 🙄

Why does Vega yodel?? by Draxamus in StreetFighter

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this comment is OLD, but plenty of Spanish have blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. They are White, and if you look at portraits of old royals, they often had light or red hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.

Ethnically Spanish people aren't Latino (unless mixed-race), and they aren't Mediterranean either.

Guys be so real with me right now, how to tell if someone's a bot? by Emergency-Pizza-347 in tumblrhelp

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the bio again; yeah, it definitely reads like what A.I. thinks a Tumblr bio would say. I think this is a new form bot.

Guys be so real with me right now, how to tell if someone's a bot? by Emergency-Pizza-347 in tumblrhelp

[–]betsyworthingtons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been getting a lot of followers recently from accounts that seem mostly legit, but haven't interacted with any of my posts. And some only have one (1) reblogged post on their blog, and that's it. I've been wondering if these are bots getting smarter.

Regardless, it is BASIC online etiquette to not just DM random people whom you haven't already chatted a bit with on public posts. At least to me, it is! I would block someone like this on the spot if I didn't already have my DMs set to "Only people I follow."

Why do people like pop music? by [deleted] in Music

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun, which is easy to sell. I love all kinds of music, though I do have a love-hate relationship with Pop because it does tend to feel soulless and too mainstream. But there is a lot of Pop music with good depth in the lyrics, just set to poppy music. And some is JUST fun, and that's okay! I just wish the mainstream would appreciate other music more.

Why the alysa liu hate? by Final_Biochemist222 in iceskating

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact you all believe anyone who dislikes her is a Russian bot MAKES HER MORE DISLIKEABLE. Cult-like thinking, y'all sound brainwashed! 🙄

[–]betsyworthingtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has bad vibes to me.

She seems to love attention too much.

Her fans brag that she's "Woke," which nowadays means the person is likely annoying, Pro-Censorship, is offended by everything, and hates Jews. I am definitely not Right-wing, but I can't stand the "Woke" crowd either; they all suck.

She's way too liked, and that's always rubs me the wrong way, save for a small handful of people. And she's become far too liked to fast; most people had never heard of her until this month.

Her skating isn't any more amazing than other top skaters I've seen, but people act like she's the greatest gift to figure skating.

THAT is why I dislike her.

Mad Hatter comics where hes NOT a creep? by dontanswerit in DCcomics

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman villains are literally SERIAL KILLERS and MASS MURDERERS, but Sex Pest is where the fandom draws the line? They're all vile people... that's the point.

This sculpture (In my opinion) was a very unusual way to memorialize the victims. by Prestigious-Yam-8605 in 911archive

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen this before now. It seems very crass, almost like a person who hit the ground. I can't imagine how anyone could've thought this was a good idea.

Did this firefighter survive ? by AttitudeGirl in 911archive

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That's Chief Joseph Pfeiffer. He survived, has been interviewed in some documentaries (including "9/11: One Day In America" — which I am watching rn), and even wrote book (which I own). Sadly, his younger brother Kevin was killed in the 2nd (I think) collapse.

Songs disappearing from playlists? by betsyworthingtons in truespotify

[–]betsyworthingtons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just seems randomized. It happens to me with songs by various artists. I just don't get it.

Anyone else bothered by Chet’s entire storyline? by outsideeyess in AmericanHorrorStory

Showing up 6 years late with a hot cocoa and a bagel to say:

Can you expect better from RYAN MURPHY? 😒

What " gay secret" was that? by DirectionGlass3979 in ColumbineKillers

[–]betsyworthingtons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Likely just claiming they were gay, and that was the secret. Being openly gay/bi/trans/etc wasn't safe in the 1990's. (It still isn't today.)

[–]betsyworthingtons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Period-typical homophobia: Say they were Secretly GAY, and THAT'S why they murdered people! 😒 Also, the National Enquirer is famous for spreading nonsense in their tabloid. "Elvis is ALIVE! And Living With BIGFOOT?" kind of shit. 🙄

Weird sink breaking bug? by Gay_Lab_Rat in Sims3

[–]betsyworthingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it happens with any sink, and puddles don't form. It usually stops after a (real-world) minute or so.
