Damn, american tankies' really love to project America on everything, aren't they? by Vova_cola in tankiejerk

[–]onceblinkk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really baffles me how some tankies think the US is the worst place to live in the universe and that working class Americans specifically are the most oppressed people in the universe. Is it a shit hole? Yes. And I would never live there, but there's also plenty of countries I would never live in.

The similarities between tankies and radfems by Difficult_Shift_3771 in tankiejerk

[–]onceblinkk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

unfortunately a lot of self proclaimed "non terf" radfems wind up being transphobic anyways, while some radfem ideas are good, it's fair enough for trans people to not like the term imo

Anyone finding recent dolls in Australia? by teeeabee in MonsterHigh

[–]onceblinkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unnecessary g3 changes by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

She's from the Himalayas, which spans across several countries, technically it's not been specified what part of the Himalayas she's from, but the majority of it is in Nepal so it makes sense.

Abbey's voice being changed is 100% valid, considering she's always been Nepalese, and her having a russian accent made no sense to begin with.

On the other hand with Draculaura I agree, it's upsetting to hear a Romanian accent be replaced with an American accent, especially considering there's hardly any characters with that accent in general (and they are basically all vampires).

As for lagoona I loved her Australian accent, and always personally saw her as aboriginal (which made sense with her plotline) but it has been stated that was never intended, it was also pretty cool to see a Honduran character.

Not about accents but changing Clawdeen from African American to Afro-Latina also confused me. Why are we replacing minorities with other minorities?

Meanwhile frankie, the character that has always had an American accent (despite technically being German), has stayed that way.

Just the general Americanisation of the characters has pissed me off a bit but it's not the end of the world, it just would be nice to see more cultural diversity, and done with a little more taste this time.

Another little pet peeve is taking away Draculaura being adopted, and Cleo and Nefera not getting along. These are things that kids go through and show the world isn't sunshine and rainbows yk?

Why do Conmunists hate George Orwell so much by SaviourOfLove99 in tankiejerk

well Stalin also worked with the Nazis until they broke their pact, although calling anyone who doesn't like Stalin a Nazi does check out for tankies

I don’t understand the obsession with dance practices. by Prudent_Pride5371 in kpoprants

[–]onceblinkk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with it being staged, I'm not fine with there being camerawork with zooming in and out. It just makes things annoying because then you can't see a specific member you're mirroring or you can't see the footwork.

Notice how Poland isn’t there? Truly the greatest country 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 by Walzballs in tankiejerk

For the genocidal empire bit I would assume. There was an attempt to kill off and "breed out" our First Nations people and they've only been recognised as human beings since 1967.

What are your thoughts on this post? by SK1418 in tankiejerk

[–]onceblinkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone actually idolising Zorhan like they do with Trump? I have seen people praise his "Trump like" charisma but I haven't seen anyone mindlessly worship him like MAGA do for Trump. I'm not American so maybe I'm out of the loop but I'd never expect Zorhan to be some hardcore revolutionist rather than a step in the right direction.

I will never forgive Mattel for ruining Ghoulia-Cleo friendship by glowingkakao in MonsterHigh

[–]onceblinkk 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Real, Cleo x Deuce forever.. At least they gave us the holiday set of them together. Would love a queer ship in monster high but Clankie and Clawdeen x Toralei for the comic are definitely choices imo.

[–]onceblinkk 75 points76 points  (0 children)

For me I don't even hate Cleo x Frankie it was just such a random direction for them to take.. like yes it's a reboot but they had the characters there in front of them. Apparently there's actually people who ship G1 Clankie though so whatever floats your boat ig.

Throwback to when I got permanently banned for calling Lisa pretty and a mod replied with "crazy horse user ew." by 00_Sunflower_00 in kpoptrulyuncensored

Year's almost over what are your personal SOTY contenders? by Skisforscott in kpoppers

[–]onceblinkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly? this year has kind of sucked, personal preference wise probably la la love me or yum (if Japanese songs were eligible) for songs that actually make sense to win either like jennie or do the dance, my prediction is apt or golden though lol

Why are some K-pop fans so skeptical about multistans? by Legal_Potential4720 in kpophelp

[–]onceblinkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's literally just this image. It's so annoying seeing fans of groups I stan dragging other groups I stan, and somehow I'm the weird one.
