This entire discourse is funny but kinda sad, since African-Americans have valid reasons to be hyper-aware about cult. appropriation
But at the same time idk how to explain that a teenage boy in Germany or Uzbekistan saying "y'all" is not the White Supremacy Soldier you think
Reminds me of the Einstein quote:
"If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew."
Most players would be open to ret-conning a lot of Shadowlands if Blizzard just openly admitted "yeah we fucked up and let a guy who couldn't stop sexually harassing women take control of the story, our bad."
But until they do that, you can't pretend that isn't what happened.
Sylvanas was a nightmare for the Forsaken playerbase.
An evil rapist ruins her character because he hates women.
Blizzard refuses to address it, continues parading her around like nothing happened.
You can't fix Sylvanas without huge retcons. She should've been retired.
I actually also speak English to understand people from Germany, Turkey, France, India etc. You can't seriously believe we learn and speak English only to understand you. 😭
“Can I do it?” is a terrible measure of disability.
Yes, I can do it.
Can I do it repeatedly?
Can I do it safely?
Can I do it without support?
Can I do anything afterwards?
Can I do it tomorrow too?
What does doing it COST?
These tell me a lot more about my capability.
Things like fruits & veggies change taste and texture based on how you cook them & raw chance. Berries are a good example of something a lot of people dislike for their unpredictability. Now imagine you’re 5000x more sensitive to changes in flavour and texture and try to live.
funny enough the mental health clinics that i’ve gone to (including and especially the eating disorder clinic im getting treated at) don’t allow restrictive patients to eat fully vegan diets. because dietary restrictions and moralizing food will make them worse. crazy right
People like to say “people with ADHD are late for work but rarely for a flight!” but if I had to put in the same amount of effort I put into catching a flight just to get to work five times a week I would literally kill myself
