  • The best example I can think of where the race choices really got stupid to the point of offensive was the first “The Last Airbender” movie where the director race swapped the entire fire nation to Indian, made the water nation white when they probably should have been Innuit or something similar, then chose to mispronounce the main characters name to make it sound more ethnic when the source material was in English, so they knew exactly how it should be pronounced.

    Then for whatever reason, people got mad that the main character was white when it was the only character animated in such a way they could be white, and the tribe was a nomadic collection of people making it somewhat possible albeit not relevant to the nation theming of the other nations.

    Anyways, this triggered my annual Last Airbender rant, so sorry about that.







  • As a person with 3 cats, I get what you’re saying. You’re getting down voted, but we all know cats can devistate local wild life populations.

    Rescuing them and making them indoor cats is the responsible thing to do, but I don’t think any vegans would argue with that.

    I think its after those establishing facts that the discussion is taking place.

    I personally am not a fan of any breeding programs when there are so many cats and dogs available to rescue, but that’s just me.

    Yes. It’s making fun of people like me who are completely incapacitated for a day when I get a migrane/fever but get hit by some random thing and start bleeding and just shrug it off.

    Women get lots of practice being miserable and carrying on with their menstrual cycles, while guys like me generally feel fine for monthes at a time, with normal aches and pains, then just fall apart with the sniffles.

    It’s a relatable truth/joke in alot of relationships.
