I seem to have avoided all the Black Panther fuss. I don't understand why people are using it as some sort of cultural touchstone, it's an action film based on a comic book...

And here we have another racist.

I feel like it’s like Disney was able to competently capitalize on the marketing ploy fem Ghostbusters was going for.

Black Panther was fine for a marvel movie. I enjoyed it, but have no idea why half the world was going on about it like it was the most important black cinema event since Roots and the Color Purple.

Meteor man got nominated for an Oscar, after all.

To be totally honest, at least for me it's the only time in recent memory that you have an almost all black cast in a movie that isn't about slavery, gangs, prison, etc where it's actually legitimately good. It's a nice change of pace and it's something nice for me and my family to enjoy and feel good about, yknow?

Not going to pretend it's the best movie to ever exist, but it's still solid as hell, and that's more than we've really had in... Ever.

Speaking of 90s kids and Black Panther - Did someone ever figure out where all the black sitcoms went Up until the mid 90s I saw a ton of black actors on tv, then they just all kinda disappeared. Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper wasn’t that bad people!

So I can see why people are excited for the newest marvel movie

Father kills his 5 month old daughter over losing in Call of Duty.

There have seriously been like 5 cases similar to this in the past two months. I’m beginning to think there is some link between violence and gaming. It’s a good thing I’m pro-violence.

“Officials say the child was bleeding from the brain and eyes, injuries consistent with abusive head trauma.”

I was playing COD around the time this happened. I wonder if I had anything to do with this noob losing his shit.

Literally shaking rn stay safe.

food is a good example of this too with the recent fusion trend and how white businesses who sell asian or latinx food are valued higher than actual asian or latinx businesses

https://www.resetera.com/posts/4979376/


LOL.  Don't you guys know how all hipsters who want "authentic" food praise the white or mexican owned restaurants that make chinese food?

 This is what happens when your entire life is lived through vice articles.

"Recent," "fusion trend."  This guy gets his news from Ebony magazines from the 90's

They use the words "amerindian" and "lantinx."

Very yes to the second part. Did you miss my bit about one black TV show writer trying to get a bisexual representation on his show and some black men being prissy bitches about it because "muh heterosexualism is being threatened!"

I mean that's a completely different tangent but gay black men have it hard (pun not intended) in regards to dating and their "culture"/family/etc. But People of Color in general have it hard in the gay community, but you should already know that in some regards.

[shosta]

Latino is already a gender neutral word in Spanish. Masculine forms are used for combinations of men and women.

Because of the "boys don't cry,"/toxic masculinity (ugh) effect. PD ( ) and someone like Nachobro or even Am_I_Anonymous could tell you better about that sort of thing while not being gay. It's why so many gay (and bisexual) black men are "down-low." Being anything other than "heterosexual" for black men is a bad thing in most black (male) communities.

“Doctors agree that she likely ingested methamphetamine laced with another drug, which reports indicate made her believe she was living in an ‘upside down’ world in which she had to ‘sacrifice her eyes’ to ascend to heaven.”

I can understand snapping and trying to kill someone on local who hits you with the blue shell when you've been leading the entire race

I wish the smart people would explain why cultural appropriation can be bad instead of the idiots who assume any and all form of cultural appropriation is wrong.

[REDPILLALPH ABIGCOCK]

Bad cultural appropriation: Weebs who claim to be really truly japanese in their soul, rachel dolezal, white guys who darken their profile picture and have dodgy facial hair so they can act like they're not the filty racist white they know they are

Good cultural appropriation: breakfast burrito

It seems that what you and many, many others overlook is that the biggest issue with appropriation is when the originators are reviled while the appropriators are revered.

Doubt you care though, from the tone of that post

This, from Massive C.M. Duck.  The weeaboo who accepts blackface as a fad because it's Japanese.  A person who cares about black disenfranchisement only as long as it doesn't affect his life in Japan.

Growing Older And Losing Touch With Your Cousins

Is this kind of a common thing for anyone else?

my name is mazi and i fucked my cousin
i thought it was ok but it really wasn't

[shosta]

The following year I had my first three jobs, and none of them ended on a positive note.

I've had multiple times where I've voluntarily and involuntarily checked myself into psych wards, hundreds of suicidal thoughts, and feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

I had constant failures at school

I weigh 172

It means a lot to be able to post here every day and join in on conversations, post thoughts that only make myself laugh and no one else, and participate and contribute.

Posting in the Mental Health OT

I can see it look somewhat like a brag thread, but that wasn't my intention. If it does, then I am sorry, and I hope it gets locked if it's a problem! I hope I can continue posting and enjoying ERA, as you guys and gals really are fantastic. (Except the dude who posted the NSFW Sonic stuff in the Cringe thread. Please don't do that again when you return.)

The only “humans” in the Mario universe are Italian. There’s literally hundreds of nationalities that aren’t represented. I don’t know if you’re implying it, but it’s not like it’s a conscious choice to be white.

And how many human 2D platformer characters are there? Everything I can think of that’s not Mario is an animal or non-human thing.
