Mexican GP '23 // P2 in Quali
"Struggling a lot to put together laps on soft tyres, and then suddenly, in Q3 we just found a lot of grip in our car... Now, it's a matter of making sure we put together a strong race - well thought, well executed."

i feel like the gabriel vasquez was such a fuckin big bomb to drop and for nobody to have really done anything with it since is WILD. like there's a fat chunk of story that could be written off of that and nobody cares about it unless it's to give kyle a hispanic heritage month cover. a travesty.

why the andor fandom own you money? :o
the answer might have something to do with a) the whole fandom treatment of narkina 5 and b) the treatment of the removal of cassian’s sandals (a Mexican fan pointed out that they’re huaraches too, I think this is an essential part of the intersectional analysis here) as some kind of Easter egg foot fetish content that the creators had No idea what they did, throwing this out to the Thirsty fans, rather than an explicit reference to the Shoah. Fandom in general not clocking that the removed shoes are used as an international symbol of genocide rememberance by Jewish and Indigenous peoples to honor and remember members of our peoples who were murdered

no you're right about the epithets it's weird as hell ESPECIALLY with the nationality ones. it feels almost tokenising? like why is him being mexican the one characteristic you're choosing to focus our attention on here? what are you saying with this? and it might not even be the author's intention but that's still what it ends up coming across as
OKAY THANK YOU i didn’t know if i was just being sensitive for feeling that way but yeah, god, you said it so well, it’s just so weirdly tokenizing and a strange thing to pull attention to— like, why is this fact so important to your random dialogue tag? why was this a better option than using the character’s name? it’s just uncomfortable to me, it feels so othering, intentional or no

Honest to God question: are they gonna have to not call him “Bender Rodriguez” or do jokes about his Latin heritage anymore so they can keep his blonde Italian voice actor in the role?
