Eponine posted:Few North Africans are Black and although they were used, were probably as dark as some French people with a good tan. They did use a few soldiers from West African colonies, but also people of color have been in Western Europe for hundreds of years. Yeah I should have said west african colonies. And a few is a bit of an understatement when the african colonies had an estimated death toll of 270.000 (civilians and soldiers) and over 200.000 soldiers where recruited.  they seem a bit darker than a tanned frenchman to me

American racial/ethnic groups don't map very clearly onto the rest of the world at all, and Americans never stop being surprised that most places aren't black <----> white.

There's a bunch of interesting "less known" sides of WWI. The French imported a ton of Vietnamese to do work behind the lines. A significant number of them became casualties unless I'm mistaken. But anyone expecting total historical accuracy from a game series that has featured nuclear strikes on Paris and Jetpacks in WW2, is probably autistic and very obnoxious.

Has this person not heard of a Pride of Lions? It's been a pop culture thing for years on top of a well known collective name, there was even a lovely sitcom about lions with Pride in the title.

Every WW1 movie ever is about France, UK or Germany or Australia. It's nice to see USA in the game instead.

Crossposted from Rowdy Ringsports; hope TinTower doesn't mind. Story: John Cena was featured in an AdCouncil video yesterday basically asking to mind people who are not straight, white men. Reactions from the right: TinTower posted:https://twitter.com/JWilliamPope/status/750063125546754048 I think some people need an attitude adjustment. Don't read the comments on that video either.

I couldn't give less of a gently caress about WWE but John Cena is awesome every day of the week. Youtube commenters can go gently caress themselves. Here's my personal favorite from that comment section: "Dear Youtube, it would be nice to see something that honors our troops or shows our history other thsn just equal rights poo poo 24/7 please."

I don't know if that was intentional but if it wasn't that's even better.And yeah, as a wrassling fan it's easy to be annoyed by the character Cena plays but as a human being he's loving amazing. I know he's done over a thousand Make-A-Wish things now and overall has always seemed like a great person.

My favorite comment is "gently caress them gays and trans". Cool to know that "trans" and by extension "transgender" are slurs now! I was expecting it to take another 5 years. Thanks, humanity!

I think I did the mental jump that "if it's fine on 9gag it should be fine here". Then I realized that 9gag is an abhorrent community, and this is not. So there you go.

There was a guy in my state who was arrested for burning a flag(and then released because it's not actually illegal). In addition to just regular calls for vigilante violence against him, I've also seen calls for vigilante violence against him but with random addresses in towns literally hundreds of miles away from the town it happened in. I'm always amazed at how whenever people seem to hit peak shittyness they always manage to one up each other.
