People are bafflingly stupid, especially when it comes to race. There was, I recall, a bit of an uproar on social media when the Hunger Games movies came out and a black character was played by a black actress.

There was, I recall, a bit of an uproar on social media when the Hunger Games movies came out and a black character was played by a black actress. If you're interested in representation talk, you should definitely check out that quote's source on the Idiots on Social Media thread. It started with the boycottStarWars people, moved to Hunger Games' Rue and Cinna, and then Cho chat. Although to be fair the book says Rue has dark skin and eyes so in my head I imagine her as having a Mediterranean look potentially. But since she is also said to look like Prim in a lot of ways (to Katniss, who is a narrator who merely interprets Rue this way rather than it necessarily being true) I get why people think she might have been blonde and white if they missed the brief passage about how she has dark skin.

Apparently some of the dumb Finn racism is that there's another, unrelated in every way character called Finn in some EU books who is white.

A lot of fun anger from Star Wars fans is that the EU is now no longer canon and Disney is making new movies and canon. Goodbye Rebel Horse Pilot, we hardly neigh you.

Also Laufey, a giantess, is a dude because someone heard "Loki Laufeyjarson" and knew enough about Norse names to know that the last name is usually patronymic but not enough to know that Laufey is a ladies name and that Loki is named for his ma. Bar Crow posted:I'm pretty sure that was the whole point. White supremacists tend to be keen on Norse mythology so they cast a black guy as the literal gatekeeper to keep them away. It's just Kenneth Branagh being Kenneth Branagh. In his adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves play brothers.

Yoshifan823 posted:I actually discovered that through the (generally excellent) This Week in Pop column that Stereogum has. They try to highlight some of the best pop music of the week, and then one song that should probably not exist. There is also a Simple Plan/Nelly collaboration that was made in the year 2015 (that is not a typo, I did not mean to type 2005, I meant 2015). It is terrible, but doesn't sound like either Simple Plan or Nelly, so it's not even uniquely terrible.

Chichevache posted:Sure. Don't go to bed angry with your spouse. Always leave a good tip. It is better to wipe too much than too little. Even if you don't like Star Wars you should tell people that you do; they get weird if you don't. Long distance is the wrong distance. Whenever you meet anybody, look for something nice to say about them, because even if they’ve got a hideous face they might have fantastic ankles or lovely hair, and compliments do cheer people up enormously.

Phosphine posted:I've never heard him called Laufeyjarson, always Farbauteson, Farbaute being his giant-Dad. I've literally never seen this. It might be a thing but it's not a widespread thing. A google search for variations of that never turns up more than a hundred or so hits while Laufeyjarson turns up over nineteen thousand. I think I might be misremembering on Laufey specifically being a giantess. She might have been something else making Loki only half giant. Which isn't really that big of a deal considering that Odin is also mostly giant. His maternal grandfather was a giant and probably his mother too. His paternal grandfather was Búri who was created when the primordial cow licked salty ice in the void before anything existed. His maternal grandfather presumably being one of the giants created in the arm pits of the Ýmir, the first giant, or the ones conceived when one of his feet impregnated the other one. Than Odin and his brothers killed him and shaped the world from his carcass. Some people will have us believe we are evolved apes but this is just a theory, the truth is that we are descendants of some people Odin and his irrelevant brothers created from driftwood they found while strolling on a beach they had just created from the corpse of what might technically have been their great grandfather like some sort of cosmic Ed Gein. This should be taught in schools as fact. None of which is funny or quotes. here's something I guess: Rageaholic Monkey posted:A related story: When I saw Spotlight the other day, there were 2 nuns sitting directly in front of me, and at one point, one of the nuns took her phone out to Google something. Like, she opened the web browser on her phone, searched something, read an entire article and then put her phone up. I know she was Googling something because she had the brightness all the way up on her phone. It was aggravating and I wanted to tell her to put it away, but I pussied out because I didn't want to say poo poo to a nun.
