Nahida and Alhaitham piss me off the most.
Really an Indian goddess and one of the most significant Islamic Scholars are reduced to a white boy gamer?
I love them so much but it hurts.
You know what, after seeing the whole Ariel race bullshit I've had a few thoughts.
The debate about Ariel needing to be white stems from the fact that the original book she's Dutch. In the both animated and live movies she has never been represented as Dutch, in both movies being Dutch has never been an important factor. The most important part of her race/ethnicity is the fact that she's a fish.
Now it can be argued that her being white in the live movie matter because it has real life cultural influences, sure but non of them are Dutch, and more importantly she's still a fish.
The most important cultural influences in the movie are aesthetic and musical.
What I would like to know is why the people saying Ariel being white and Dutch is important are the same people saying it doesn't matter how white washed Sumeru is?
Sumeru is deeply ingrained in Middle Eastern, Indian and Egyptian culture, but the same people claiming Ariel should be white claim that "it doesn't matter if they're white its literally fiction".
Sumeru relies heavily on real-world cultures, every single region in Teyvat does. Everyone else seems satisfied with their representation but why did we get the short end of the stick.
I recognised almost every food from Sumeru as I've had most of them, I recognise names from my history and gods that are a part of my heritage, so why is it ok that only two of them are barely what they would actually look like?

Mom: Don't do what I did when you start dating
Me: Mom you dated 1 guy, married him, got pressured into having kids you didn't want and ended up divorced and in crippling debt. Of course I'm not gonna do what you did

I was enjoying the Genshin fandom and then I found the discourse about Kaeya and Diluc.
Just like undertale, love the game, hope the fandom burns alive. Why do the most toxic fucked up people ruin such good things?

Y'all are damn delusional if you think our government would do anything good with that diamond.
We had a former president who used government funds to build a swimming pool in his house, the was also sponsored by taxpayer money.
We have a president who can't even keep the lights on for more then a few hours.
Like yes, give back the stolen artifacts to their country of origin, but for South Africa, that money ain't gonna do shit but line the pockets of the most wealthy and corrupt.

Fic recs please
Can anyone recommend demon Shane Madej fics. Not Ryan and Shane romantically involved with each other (no disrespect I'm just not into it) but fics of Shane seeing demonic shit on their expedition and being like "Yeah I don't believe in the super natural. Or Shane protecting Ryan from way to strong demons.

i hate when fictional characters come to the conclusion that "Magic caused all the problems so no I have to destroy all magic" tf????? no, there are several other ways to solve your problem?
If all magic can just be destroyed then it was a tool the entire time. Thats fine. But some magic is like a force of nature, like gravity.
When you destroy magic but have been treating it like a force of nature that fucks up continuity!!
There aren't stories where someone close to the protagonist falls and dies and then Protag is like "Gravity has caused so much pain and suffering. I need to end gravity."
i want a story where the protag fucks gravity due to grief
