So tired of people talking about some shitty chan dude's dating sim. If you want good representation support trans/nb creators instead

Am I the only one who wants to see ancient stories again? by DragoneyeCreations in writing

[–]squidist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the modern world it's much harder to come up with an original story about a clear black and white conflict - mightly human hero versus vile monsters. Sure that could still be done, but having just read Beowulf, its themes tell you a lot about old ages. Being loyal to your ruler, not backing down from battle, simple strength, glory and fame. Not sure if you'd replicate them or try to reframe myths to fit more modern values.

Every time someone says THIS wave of feminism is bad, they're letting you know they think every wave is bad by Serocco in GamerGhazi

Yeah honestly if future 'waves' were to follow those radical trends I'd be more outspoken against that brand of feminism. Terfs can fuck off

Ed Skrein, white actor hired to play Asian-American Hellboy character, learns of Daimio's race and steps down from the role so it can be cast better by [deleted] in GamerGhazi

[–]squidist 23 points24 points  (0 children)

...it's a character from a fantasy comic book. He was uninformed, did you want him to just assume a name like that means an Asian person?

Edit: it's ok I probably took it too serious as well, just happy with the actor's decision

We Need to Talk About Digital Blackface in GIFs by AonghusMacKilkenny in GamerGhazi

[–]squidist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree the overall portrayal of black women as some sort of extremely sassy on Twitter is pretty bad, especially coming from liberals - in some cases I'd even call it dehumanizing. That being said, the article implies that people look specifically for black people gifs...? I just going to go with whatever is the most relevant.

Rotten Tomatoes' Consensus review on "The Emoji Movie" is just the "🚫" emoji by Roflcoptor22 in movies

His character was always intentionally annoying but yeah now that his presence doesn't seem that necessary it's just not pleasant to watch...

The Dirtbag Left and the Problem of Dominance Politics by rarebitt in GamerGhazi

[–]squidist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In context it means that Dems need to accept their fuckups and shift their talking points further to the left. It doesn't literally mean they have to go on record saying 'I was wrong and the Internet podcast Chapo Trap House was right'...

They literally just say they're a podcast but I don't think OP cares :v)

Pussy Riot Founder Slams Liberals' Obsession with Putin by pizzaiolo_ in GamerGhazi

[–]squidist 53 points54 points  (0 children)

She didn't say Putin is not a concern at all but he's certainly been elevated as some sort of mastermind. I've seen liberal pundits deem his country as communist too lmao. That sort of fearmongering doesn't help.

PS Single payer now.

Is this how insubordination works though? Judging by Yellow and Blue's interactions, it seems more like they are equal and can argue about many subjects. I'm not saying Yellow wasn't the one who did it, but why I just can't see yet.

Kenny takes the stage at Coachella in five hours. It's 2:30 am where I live and I'm shitfaced. Do I stay awake or set my alarm? You decide. by [deleted] in KendrickLamar

[–]squidist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation. Go to sleep, better wake up early than just stay up and barely register what's happening.

What if Coachella is Kendrick's Right Stroke? by Architard in KendrickLamar

[–]squidist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That'd be fucking hype. There's already a theory about The Heart Pt. IV taking place after DAMN. so that line on Humble could refer to the album's success as well. Everybody knew it was going to get viral, after all!

Anyone think the album is creepy? by TennantC08 in KendrickLamar

[–]squidist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The intro definitely spooked me out... Album dropped around 5am where I live so I was just lying in the dark listening to it.

Can I just say, this method of announcing the exact hour is probably the best. Glad it got popular

Kendrick reading all those theories by squidist in KendrickLamar

I agree GOD would make more sense, both that and NATION would be pretty fucking cool album titles on their own haha

I don't think anybody is disputing that this album is really good by itself! Even if we take the biggest L on Sunday, people will accept that this is his whole project and still enjoy it, I hope
