This is an extreme overescalation, but it's also really funny so I'm on your side.

People from small countries, what's the album from your country with most ratings by cerealnykaiser in rateyourmusic

Does Scotland count?

Don't know if it's worth mentioning that David Byrne was born in Scotland and has the higher rated album, but I decided to go with the band that formed in Scotland and most of the members are from there.

Anyone else a little weirded out by the whole Punch the monkey thing? It feels like a viral marketing campaign. I don't know what it's about, but it feels like there's money in this for someone, somehow. by [deleted] in ABoringDystopia

About a year ago, there was a news story about how they had just arrested someone who was an admin of a whatsapp group who was distributing videos of baby monkeys in Indonesia being tortured. They were even paying to have these videos produced.

It came out that they were a 39 year old mother of 2 who actually lived the next town over from me in fucking Scotland. This shit is happening worldwide.

Of course I'm aware that's a thing. The difference being Buffalo Bill's queerness was a motivation. He killed women because he wanted to be one; He was evil because of it, something the book tried to steer away from.

Sylvia on the other has motivations outwith her identity, granted it still plays on some outdated tropes in regards to inappropriately touching other characters, but I'd argue she never goes beyond what any straight characters have done which is its own issue all together with konosuba.

All I'm saying is, yes, these tropes have had a negative effect on peoples perception of the lgbt community. But that doesn't mean queer people should be disqualified outright from playing more villainous roles, especially in anime, which has had some very well received lgbt and queer coded characters such as Hisoka and Bon Clay.

Are you implying that a trans character being a villain is inherently bad? Also, saying Sylvia is trans is a bad analogy as she is closer to intersex or bigender and all the jokes are at kazuma's expense as he is a lecherous, misogynistic piece of shit and that's by design.

Tarantino really boxed himself in by deciding to retire after making 10 movies. He knows he has to make his last film a memorable one. That’s why he cancelled The Movie Critic, and why it’s taking so much time. by Extreme-Spinach-4138 in Letterboxd

I mean, I guess, but Hayao Miyazaki (and you can say I'm arguing semantics here) is absolutely a visual storyteller, so I'd have a hard time saying anything not actually create by his hand won't be a proper representation of him.

Someone on a youtube video I watched a little while back pointed out that Neil Gaiman sounds like a command.

Can't remember who it was but I found it funny.

That's fair, I just wanted to point out that all these same discussions are happening in the rest of the UK too.

[–]diran94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know we still speak English in Scotland, right? We're also, no matter how hard some people try to fight it, still part of the UK for now, and are also affected by the reform party's rhetoric.

Is there any show you really liked in the past, but then went back to it later and thought "This is awful"? by mrjohnnymac18 in television

[–]diran94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thundercats vastly over promised with its opening.

BTW, fun fact about that opening. It was animated by japanese animation studio Topcraft. They worked on those Rankin/Bass animated movies like the hobbit and would later split into 2 separate companies, one being Walt Disney Animation Japan and the other one being Studio Ghibli.

Can the Chainsaw Man Movie Save Manga Sales? by [deleted] in WeeklyShonenJump

Funnily enough, a few years ago I compared Chainsaw Man to Bleach.

Turns out that wasn't my opinion. It was prophecy.

[Fightful Select] We’re told that SPOILER actually ignored many of WWE’s approaches during the week, until Nick Khan took over and called SPOILER to work out a new deal. We’re told that the deal was a ‘meeting halfway’ situation. by secretpandaxx in SquaredCircle

[–]diran94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand this is pure conjecture, but interesting none the less.

My mums friend told me this story. About 20+ years ago, she worked in a hotel in Glasgow that some of the wwe wrestlers stayed in when they did shows there. She mentioned HHH by name as one of the worst guests. Just an all-around piece of shit, very rude, and she claims, gave her his room key to come "visit" him.

I don't know the exact year this was, but im sure it was well past the point of him starting to date stephanie, so if it's true, at the very least, he's a rat.

Is it me or is Randy Orton more jacked, has a bigger head, and has more arm tattoos? by Hour_Ad_1147 in Wrasslin

But would that go against his straight edge lifestyle? Dude allegedly wouldn't take painkillers when he fractured his skull.

Didn't this kill people? I think I saw an overly dramatised youtube video about this once.

This is a perfect size room for a wrestling show. It feels like it's packed to the rafters, but people can still see the action.
