I know it's different for differing minorities and ethnicities, but I can't help but feel like a Jewish man saying he would want to go to Rome is just...baffling on a fundamental level. Everything else is like "why do you think you'd be any different?" But seriously, given the heinousness of both Rome and the early 20th Century towards Jewish people: why do you think you'd fare better? Some real "well rip to ur grandma but i'm different" energy in those tweets.

Bakeneko posted:Well I'm sure he's expressing his real opinons, but what I can't tell is whether he intended for his delivery to be straightforward, or if he was putting on a deliberately over-the-top performance, kinda like when Sage does an entire episode of Anime Abandon as his "Suave" character. He's commented on it before but people tend to think he's being sarcastic and over the top when that's just the way he talks and acts. Tim Rogers is a strange dude and he's the first person to let you know it. His on camera persona is just a slightly more animated version of himself. I watched a presentation he gave at a college about game design and he acted nearly the same in front of hundreds of people as he does on YouTube, so take that for what it's worth.

Jamie Faith posted:Also, is everyone from the Young Turks a morally bankrupt grifter? There's Dore, Dave Ruben, and even Cenk himself who refuses to let his staff unionize and dabbles in Armenian genocide denialism. Way back when, I remember catching a TYT livestream where the topic of the Armenian Genocide came up and Cenk kept trying to dance around it while Ana Kasparian was actively getting more and more pissed. I wish there were more active Leftist news outfits that didn't have such crummy people at the helm.

That's when I stopped listening and pledging to them, too.

Solitair posted:https://twitter.com/FoldableHuman/status/1366440175337807877 It's probably because the anime just got to the scene where (spoilers for Attack on Titan) the leader of the military junta that controls the armed forces the main cast work under gets assassinated by right wing nationalists, all the while a crowd in support of the killing starts screaming the motto of the Survey Corps, "devote your heart(s)," (a line that got popular within the fandom) while members of the main cast look on in horror. The assassination itself is carried under the auspices of Eren, the protagonist, who has gone full accelerationist and is planning on killing everyone outside of their nation. It's the point of the story where it's proven that it's anti-fascist and anti-nationalist. Eren has always been shown to be an unstable person that's been outright called 'a monster that would kill anyone that impedes him.' The last third of the series recontextualizes his behavior as the endpoint of an extremist that's unwilling to compromise and by the end of the series, his friends, colleagues and even his enemies have all banded together to try and stop him from committing omnicide.

Macaluso posted:I don't agree with the Y'shtola thing but I'm willing to concede on it, but Gaius it the true weird one because that piece of concept/promo art doesn't matter, his current in game look is that model at the top. He's one of the darker characters in the game. I was just talking about how weird it is that XIV has separate cases of children who are extremely pale despite having one or more parents that are dark skinned. It would've been cool seeing the Twins or Yda with at least some sorta color on 'em. Japan has a weird issue with colorism in general though. A good example of this is Nico Goldstein in Devil May Cry 5, who is half-Black and despite her concept art reflecting this and her face model being mixed, they still lightened her skin and straightened her hair in the final product.

sexpig by night posted:the twins are rough yea but to be fair for yda she was made when there were no female Midlanders in 1.0 so they really couldn't remake her model in the old cutscenes easily while doing the massive 2.0 overhaul and all. Yeah, that's my main issue: there were brown skin tones for male Highlanders even in 1.0 (I played one in 1.0) and the lore for Gyr Abania and Ala Mhigo was set even back then, so it was definitely A Choice to make her blonde-haired, blue-eyed and extremely pale. I think another reason why it bugs me is that Eorzea is Fantasy Not-Africa and you mean to tell me there's so few brown people?

Max Wilco posted:https://twitter.com/viperwave/status/1374619084067721216 noname's a really good rapper, poet and activist. All of this started on Twitter because she pointed out that a lot of her white fans will listen to her work but ignore pretty much every message she puts out there. Naturally this has lead to a bunch of caustic white people's fee-fees to get hurt and now she's gotten a target on her back.

A big flaming stink posted:Smdh at no one pointing out that both raya and avatar are ripoffs of journey to the west Seeing as how some of the original people that brought the issue up with Lindsay were of Chinese descent, I'm going to hazard a guess and say they're probably aware of Journey to the West. I also don't mean that to sound sarcastic. My grandma told me stories about Sun Wukong as a kid.

I watched MB's Mushoku Tensei video and I will at least give him credit on repeatedly saying that the main character is genuinely awful which at least puts him above other anime youtubers *cough*gigguk*cough* that just make light of everything with ""joaks"". I don't think Gigguk is an actual apologist for pedophilia or anything but there's only so many times you can try and tell us that a show is really good if you just ignore [x] or [y] while couching it in a joke. Mushokutensei is absolute trash and I hate that so many animators are probably getting paid absolute pennies for that poo poo. The animation industry as a whole is probably going to collapse in on itself sooner rather than later.

I'll always feel bad for the actor that played Black Bolt in the Inhumans show, since he took the time and effort to learn American Sign Language and consult with the National Association of the Deaf to ensure he was doing everything right only for the show to get immediately cancelled.

I used to think Jimmy Dore had somewhat decent politics and even had the right idea about policing since he came from a family of cops (unfortunately the same case for me), but dude just loving went...strange after Trump got elected. I think Trump made the dude Dennis Miller himself hard.

Shinji2015 posted:That's a good point, and that cycle isn't going to do much to improve things. I'm also frustrated by how deep the "girls don't punch as hard as boys" shonen trope goes; I've been watching JJK gets better about this past the next arc that the second season of the anime us adapting. Basically Maki, the bo staff user in the older class of students, suffers personal loss and goes on a loving Doomguy esque rip and tear mission. She's probably one of my favorite characters in the manga right now.

Jimbot posted:It's not even monochrome, it's more Baroque or Renaissance with understated colors and higher levels of shade. It's a look and if that doesn't do anything for you that's fair. But boy howdy that Linkara review is cinemasins levels of nonsense. Wasn't even engagement it's just "why is this like this? it's bad. this is bad. it's weird. I don't like this." It's a greatest hits of twitter discourse. There's a reason why most films don't try to ape tenebrism or chiaroscuro and that's because it looks good in static but muddy as gently caress in motion.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:My hot take is that if a creator makes a story about a "cool" bad person, targets the story to people who will be attracted to the fact that the character is cool, and fails to articulate to that audience that the character is actually bad then it's either a failure in writing, targeting, or (probably subconsciously) the creator doesn't actually think the character is actually that bad. Eren has some cool moments in Attack on Titan but there were several times where characters within the story would point out how loving broken of an individual Eren was and how dangerous that made him, despite the fact that his powers were useful. Arguably the most popular character in the series has a page early-on in the run of the manga saying "Eren is a loving monster and there's little anyone can do to stop him should he decide to turn on all of us." AoT is not a great series but the author continuously peppered the story with numerous instances of Eren being the kind of person that would turn into a genocidal piece of poo poo. And, to Isayama's credit, it also never tries to explain that Eren was justified or right in his decisions either. Eren's actions bought their nation 50 or 60 years before it gets unceremoniously bombed back into the stone age anyways.
