@DecadeAgoGaming@LordStormy96@4gottnHistory Which is why I feel it's important to use this embarrassing image. Something always felt more nefarious than just ridiculous with Ancient Aliens stuff and then seeing stuff like this made it click. So I always point it out, cause some folks will see it and go "Ooohhhh" :)
@DecadeAgoGaming@LordStormy96@4gottnHistory No unfortunately. Mind you, I do not think everyone who buys into Ancient Aliens bullshit is consciously doing so for racist reasons. That would be very silly to think. They are absolutely getting swept up in unthinking, uncritical racist ideologies.
@LordStormy96@4gottnHistory The bare exposed marble was a mistake of early archaeologists that is continued into present day because the whitewashed look feeds into white supremacist narratives about the Classical World.
@LordStormy96@4gottnHistory ...would be the kind of people folks like you would call ICE over.
But guess what buds? When I call those statues "literally whitewashed" it is because THEY DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THAT HISTORICALLY. These statues were vibrantly painted and showed a diversity of skin tones.
@LordStormy96@4gottnHistory Correct Classical Romans and Greeks aren't White. Whiteness was invented after the Byzantine Empire fell and is essentially a privilege allowed certain groups of people currently, and used to steal the valour of people historically. Moreover, Ancient Greek populations...
@LordStormy96@4gottnHistory I don't see any universe in which you understand what 'racist' actually means. Nor the irony of using literally whitewashed statues
@unattendedcit@uncomfybrain@4gottnHistory That's the pot calling the kettle black. Anyone stupid and obnoxious enough to think his utterly stupid arguments hold merit gets blocked. Like youπ And it's a win for me because it stops yall from wasting my time
@unattendedcit@uncomfybrain@4gottnHistory Oh I assure you, I am making fun of you. See how many other people got it? See how you immediately felt the need to jump to the defence of "white people". I wonder what that kneejerk reaction from you is about....
@uncomfybrain@4gottnHistory You really are uncomfortable using your brain. Please consider why you specifically take offence made at the expense of white supremacists. But do it from the otherside of the block~
@uncomfybrain@4gottnHistory It is the act of chauvinists trying to invent a narrative where they could steal the successes of civilizations of the past, to try and pretend a bunch of people leeching the free labour of others were somehow superior to the people actually building their wealth...
@uncomfybrain@4gottnHistory You're uncomfortable using your brain. It's ok. Hundreds of people understand the post, you clearly didn't. Just scroll past and pretend you don't why you had such a kneejerk reaction~
@uncomfybrain@4gottnHistory That is the point, yes. See how the conspiracy theories about aliens doing this shit are clearly white supremacist? Yeah you don't get through with facts alone against chauvinist worldviews; you have to make holding that worldview feel stupid and embarrassing
@ANNO_EN These are good changes but when are you putting back in the missing info on the logistics screen?
Being able to figure out the average speed of my trade routes would let me plan them better. The absence of this has absolutely discouraged me from playing
@Shoot_N_StarZ@RamUpdatesOW ...pretty much just Sig and Zarya.
His ability is flavourful and not incredibly unreasonable but I think a fairer alternative would be seeing a 25-33% reduction per Barrier that the punch passes through.
@Shoot_N_StarZ@RamUpdatesOW Hi. Yeah it is actually really frustrating the amount of defensive tools he can pierce with that. It can be focused with good focus fire but DPS at the ranks most people play are not coordinating like that.
Meaningful tanks in proper OW 6v6 that can meaningfully answer him is....
