the only reason mr. beast doesn’t represent the death of culture is because concepts like “death” and “culture” are too complex for the mr. beast brand
I’ve seen people describe mr. beast’s expressions as “gormless”, and I don’t think that’s fair. he is not so much gormless as unaware of the concept of gorm, and untroubled by its absence in his life
I am posting to confirm for a comment section that I am the same person as the commenter. The image number is 1092173 and the comment is about how I did not make my pfp; I found it on the site I'm commenting on.
@mrjeffu Am I wrong in my observations, or are there also english-speaking commentators who then read Japanese posts like these and assign the post’s contents and their writers more credibility by sole virtue of being Japanese? That would be an interesting sort of feedback loop.
@UnseenJapanSite I thought at first glance this was a motivation sheet for Japanese learners and they were just giving "okay" advice on how to get back on the language learning wagon, with some vocab-ish headers
but THEN I actually read the... that... and man fuck this nonsense
@LactoseTaylor@AdequateEmily Then I believe it logical to deduce that you do not subscribe to the reasoning behind recognizing a trans person as their chosen gender. This in turn brings why you do so before they are recognized as having done an illegal act into question.
@LAMBCHOPS2721@AdequateEmily If you didn’t previously refer to them with the same logic, yes, your change is transphobic or at least will appear likely to be. If you were already using those terms then you have not improved or worsened, although since you were using those terms expect to receive suspicion.
@ArtemisConsort@AdequateEmily Yep, this is exactly the reasoning why doing it is transphobic. Thank you for providing a helpful elaboration on why Emily is correct.
@cinnotomon So I had chicken pox as a child like most people my age. They all fade one by one. Last one lingers for a while. It eventually fades with a distinct scar and it's still visible. Didn't even have a choice on this one. Least interesting scar I have.
@that_kind_oforc Neat thing I learned: The guy who came up with Chromie (he doesn't work for Blizzard anymore but occasionally he twitch streams a little, wish I could recall his name) doesn't really like the direction they went with the character, particularly the "teehee" aspect.
@Skoll_Shorties I don’t know if it should have been done so hamfistedly and with disregard for a lot of previous characterization but I don’t know that I agree with this one Ban
@Krexxal Will you ever take the account public again, and do you trust the people following you won’t leak the takes? Those seem to be the questions to ask…
@ZenraoIronkeg Never have felt like Toddy had anything worse about her than, maybe, just a jarringly loud voice in her world quests. Toddy hate took me by surprise
