Ichi was a form of facial ritual scarification worn by mainly men of the Igbo people of Nigeria. The scarification indicated that the wearer had passed through initial initiation into the aristocratic Nze na Ozo society, thus marking the wearer as nobility. Echoes of this tradition are found in the contemporary derivative word Ichie, which denotes a member of a class of titled chieftains amongst the Igbo.

The scarification was found among men in the Awka-Nri areas and among a few women in the Awgwu and Nkanu areas. Its wearers were authorized to perform ritual cleansing of abominations and to confer titles on people. People with facial marks were regarded as Nri men and were less likely to be taken as slaves. Other parts of Igbo land may have started wearing Ichi as a result of this. There are two styles; the Nri style worn in the Awka-Nri areas, and the Agbaja style worn in the Awgwu and Nkanu areas. In the Nri style, the carved line ran from the center of the forehead down to the chin. A second line ran across the face, from the right cheek to the left. This was repeated to obtain a pattern meant to imitate the rays of the sun. In the Agbaja style, circles and semicircular patterns are added to the initial incisions to represent the moon. These scarifications were given to the representatives of the eze Nri; the mbùríchi. The scarifications were the Nris' way of honoring the sun that they worshipped and was a form of ritual purification.

People who used to be vocal about Ukraine now being exclusively vocal about Palestine while calling the Ukrainian genocide "low priority" or "attention seeking" are a special kind of evil.

Treating global conflicts like fandom has rotted your brains.

if your first reaction to someone telling a person that a symbol is commonly associated to nazis is to say "actually 🤓☝ this symbol has history to being used in idandsassbibdsabi" If a White guy is walking on the street with a fucking iron cross plastered on their clothes i dont think people are gonna assume if guy whose really into the teutonic noghts or some shit

fff how do i set that tommy/mosely picture as my background on like everything and not have odd questions asked of me in professional forums

Oya, for @emotionally-drained001

I know I should just block (and not OPEN) tags and posts ab '24 but my brain is stupid and likes to be informed even if it makes me worse

idk every single person so far who's upset that the diversity we're asking for is firmly on the side of violent upholders of the status quo understands that this does not make sense in canon while also being upset at the greater implications that this has, that the people doing the oppressing are going to look like a racially, gender, and sexuality-diverse group of people mimicking n*zi imagery when this is literally not the case, but then the heroes and the oppressed will be led by cishet white men, when this is also historically not the case. we're aware that it's insidious a multi billion dollar corporation that has massive sway over mainstream culture but has 0 interest in actually being counter culture has such a vested interest in putting minorities in charge of the subjugation of an ostensibly diverse but presentably white pool of victims?

but the people who insist im in the wrong can make only two arguments. first, that in canon the empire was oppressive to non humans, so its ok for them to be poc. to which i say tell me what the fuck the humans in the empire looked like before this started happening. and then they say there were some poc and jews who were white supremacists/n*zis. to which i say yeah! there definitely were! tell me which people they were helping!

tell me what the majority of white supremacists looked like.

I really wish there was some kind of political education in this country.

I enjoy them a normal amount

jsyk sharlockart drew dabi as a nazi and never apologized or anything and actually got mad when confronted about it

helppp

Also, (not so) fun fact about Kaeya's father.

Alberich, the dwarf from the ring cycle is believed to be a jewish steriotype by most experts, to the point it's on the wiki page. Like, a negative steretype.

(Apparently wagner, the writer was a nazi and htiler's favourite composer or something)

Which the reason I'm 🤏 this close to hc Kaeya as ethnically jewish (in part). Since you know, religious persecution and diaspora are a major theme to his character.

I am far from an expert on the topic so i donlt know if I am qualified to discuss this one properly, HOWEVER!!!!! I do think ethnically Jewish Kaeya is one of (if not THE) coolest ethnicity headcanons I've ever heard for him!!!!!

why are you guys following a like 13 year old that calls himself a waifuist 😭

i liked that, that was a very funny episode

So anyway im in buyers beware and i forgot how this game made me stumped in first 5 mins my brain just doesnt click w the game even tho i love so many elements like the aesthetics the analysis potential the cases and their connection to rl and so on just chef kiss i howled when ralph said homicide dicks and instantly thought of roy and la noire!ushio lmao

Give it some time. It's a mystery game so you have to get used to the mechanics. The mocap faces themselves are one of the most jarring parts imo. Kinda uncanny valley lol.

And hell yeah, those elements make it worth the effort to get used to. The setting is so beautifully done. Especially with the way every character set the scene too w their opinions and outlooks. Ushio would fit right in! I hope I get to hear more of your thoughts on that and your AU!
