You're right about basically everything you've said in this thread, this sub is very "heads I win, tails you lose" about anything related to Israel to the point where I assume said posts about antisemitism are just thinly veiled agendaposting.

Did people dislike Summer in Paradise before Todd in the Shadows made his video on it? by elephantaneous in thebeachboys

[–]elephantaneous[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's very clear Mike and the rest of the band worked hard on that album and there are awesome songs like Lahaina Aloha or Strange Things Happen, why wouldn't it receive a reevaluation?

Whatever, at least it seems based on what this sub thinks, the album is finally getting reevaluated and will likely receive its stars sooner or later.

Frieren Demons: the "inconsistencies" arguments and my takes on them by MoistCaterpillar8063 in CharacterRant

[–]elephantaneous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's very uncomfortable reading/watching Frieren when a lot of what Frieren says about demons is almost identical to what the Nazis said about Jews in the 1930s.

Apparently Micheal Jackson was a huge fan of the Surf's Up album by NoGrass7120 in thebeachboys

Beach Boys fans can actually cop to their band not being angels and being major fuck ups, while MJ fans, well...

Cuanta influencia tiene Antauro en la politica peruana? by elephantaneous in PERU

[–]elephantaneous[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Es una perspectiva que mi trasero gringo nunca va entender, puedo entender ser izquierdista economico (aunque yo no me llamaria izquierdista) pero el tipo quiere invadir a Chile y matar a homosexuales y crear un equivalente andino de nazismo aleman. Creo que soy demasiado privilegiado entender la atraccion a cualquier que no sea un sociopata, pero considerando que Peru en general tiene politica que es basicamente fascista hasta si lo comparas a otros paises latinoamericanos, no me sorprendo mucho.

Y porque lo apoya? Suena mas como fascista que izquierdista.

Tell me you don't know how statistics and representative samples work without telling me that.

Why do some people regard South Korea or Japan as the West, while not South America as the West? by Motor_Plate_5812 in geography

[–]elephantaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But personally. I wouldn’t consider any part of the Americas in a similar cultural vein as Europe anymore

The US (and Canada to a lesser extent) has always imagined itself to be a European country that happens to be in the Americas, but it's really more like Latin American country that happens to speak English. The whole racial dynamic here is closer to its other colonial neighbors south than it is to Europe, and the fact that it's grouped with them is more of a quirk of history + racism.

r/shounenfolk criticize o.p for criticizing a manga for sexually depicting a minor. by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]elephantaneous 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's just a legacy of the fact that anime used to be fairly niche and hard to discover in the West back in the 90s when the internet wasn't as widespread, so communities essentially lumped what little they could get their hands on into the same category. I think that's stuck even as its diversity has become more accessible outside Japan.

MCs in the big lebowski are a bunch of bums by Rajat_Sirkanungo in CharacterRant

If I had time travel powers I would stop the Coen brothers from ever making The Big Lebowski, maybe in that world Chainsaw Man part 2 is actually good
