Yeah it's really pissing me off how people still keep naming American TV/movie actresses or models.
Name 5 Black British theatre actresses bet you they can't because they still think it's a movie. Still going around saying how the movie will bomb. The movie styling better be good, and so on.
I remember people were saying the same shit about Micheala Coel dissecting her looks up and down during Chewing Gum days.
It's actually so offensive people are bringing up random dark skin women who either can't act or don't have it in them to do theatre production
The way people are conceding ground to the right is crazy
Literally no fucking fight and suggesting random mixed race women who aren't stage actors
Remember when the right wing would say it should be based on talent but now that's not the case. Best person for the job, no thanks. Right wingers want to make existing in the public as anything but a white man as exhausting and frightening as possible and some people are saying " I don't want to fuck this person so they have a point"
London foxes don't care anymore Im eating outside in the rain waiting for the bus and here this fox comes to take shelter and glances at me thinking I'm gonna share my white kinder bueno.
i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.
No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.
However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.
It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.
I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.
