LMFAOOO WHAT IS PACIFIC RIM EVEN ABOUT

SNEAKO officially announces he will be adopting a child 😳 "I think Allah sent me a sign."

Why is every allegory for racism in media just "This ugly disgusting freak represents [insert minority group]"?

"The face that launched a thousand ships." People are saying, "Don't blame Lupita Nyong'o. The casting decision wasn't hers." But she chose to accept the role, right? Imagine if a white actor decided to play Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, or T'Challa. They're saying The Odyssey is fiction. So, Black Panther is a comic book. Can a white person play Black Panther? Helen is one of the most important characters in The Odyssey. Her beauty plays a huge role in the story. She was Greek. Casting a Black actress ruins everything. She's a good actress, and people may find her beautiful. But that's not what Helen of Troy was like. Woke Hollywood is destroying thousand-year-old history.

Stephen A. Smith says his family was poor and had no money because his father gave it all to his other family Stephen :"he cheated on my mother but it wasn't like he was all over the place with it. He had one other family" Host :"When you say he had another family?" Stephen :"He had another family. Another house. Other kids...He was taking care of them while he was not taking care of us" "We were not poor because we didn't have money. We were poor because my father took the money and gave it to somebody else" "I watched my mother for 20 years work 16 hours a day, seven days a week with one week's vacation because she had to keep the lights on and a roof over our head and food on the table because he didn't help her do it"

If you were wondering why they beheaded Athena's statue in The Odyssey, here's how I interpreted it. The Greeks all worship Athena, but during the fall of Troy they kill countless innocent people, violating Zeus's law: treat strangers with respect, because they could be a god in disguise. Throughout the film, Zendaya's character appears to Odysseus like a divine presence in his visions. Only at the end do we learn she was one of the innocent civilians killed during the sack of Troy. That's why her death is match-cut with the beheading of Athena's statue. The film is saying that by murdering the innocent, they were symbolically killing the very goddess they claimed to worship.

We wuz Helen of Troy and sheeyt.

For me, this is already a story from a career that spans the past 31 years. I’m probably one of the people in the game industry who has traveled to the largest number of countries and actually met local fan communities in person. So honestly, I’ve been influenced by people and cultures from all over the world. More than race itself, I think I’ve always been influenced by “regional culture” and “organizational culture.” One of the most fascinating moments involving your culture happened in 2019, when I revealed Leroy Smith. (The visual design wasn’t mine, but the original character concept was.) Right after the reveal, I received this message from the American fan community: “Can we… can we invite you to the cookout for making an awesome character like this?” Now, as someone from my generation in Japan, I was actually considered relatively good at reading and writing English. By then I’d already been to North America over 50 times, had maintained the English I learned for university entrance exams, and had been communicating with people on Twitter in English long before translation apps became useful, let alone AI translation. But honestly… when I saw that sentence, I had absolutely no idea what it meant. In fact, my very first reaction was: “Oh no… I’m finished.” Here’s why. Back then I was frequently arguing against articles spreading hate toward video games, and I kept seeing people replying with the word “cooked.” As you know, “cooked” can mean you’re done, finished, or completely destroyed. I also often saw “roasted.” Because of that, I honestly assumed “cookout” was just an even stronger version of “cooked.” So for one terrifying moment, I read it as: “Hey… we… we… can invite you to a party where we’re going to beat you up and roast you?” Even though I thought I knew America pretty well, I genuinely wondered if I’d somehow pressed some invisible cultural button that I wasn’t supposed to touch. Later, I had another misunderstanding. People kept calling me: “You are the fxxking GOAT.” And for about two or three years I honestly thought, “Damn… here’s another guy calling me ‘a fxxking goat… this animal bastard.’ Better ignore the bait.” Some people even replied with 🐐 emojis, so I genuinely believed they were insulting me by calling me an animal. Because of misunderstandings like that, I seriously thought: “Man… getting our characters accepted by Americans is really difficult. They might actually be even more sensitive than Japanese people in many ways. We need to study their culture much more.” Anyway, back to the cookout story. Eventually someone explained that a “cookout” in the African American community is actually one of the highest compliments possible—basically saying: “You’re someone we’d trust enough to invite to our close-knit family BBQ, where only real friends and loved ones are welcome.” That explanation was a huge relief. Then they started showing me BBQ equipment and ingredients… …and I was absolutely shocked that everything was several times bigger than what we have in Japan. Sure, I expected the smoker grills to be huge. But even the tongs and spatulas were enormous, and the meat looked like something I’d only ever seen as loot in an MMORPG. Looking back now, I honestly regret not immediately flying to the U.S. and accepting an invitation to one of those community cookouts. That really was the perfect opportunity. Anyway… I’ve wandered way off topic. Of course I can’t claim that I fully understand what you call Black culture. But if we’re talking about the parts that have genuinely influenced me, the cookout story is certainly one of them. And the people in these photos have also had a significant influence on me. (I’d like to include many more, but I’ll limit it to four photos.)

Hunter Biden: "The single greatest mistake of my father's administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland. Did you not see these people storming the Capitol? You didn't see a president and know that there was a concerted and planned effort? He doesn't do anything. We don't end up going after him. I don't get it. I absolutely don't get it."

A serial killer allegedly picked the wrong victim: the first African American world kickboxing champion, Fredia "Cheetah" Gibbs. Gibbs says she unknowingly fought for her life after getting into a van with the man later identified as the "Grim Sleeper" serial killer. She recalls: > Realizing she was in danger after he drove the wrong way and she discovered she couldn't open the doors or windows. > He allegedly tried to sexually assault her after trapping her inside the van. > She relied on her kickboxing training and mental strength to fight back, overpower him, and escape. Gibbs says the ordeal left her with PTSD, and for years she was constantly looking over her shoulder. Do you think her kickboxing training is the reason she's alive today?
