@writerofscratch lol did he think you said 億 instead of 六? (I know that’s 100 million and not actually a billion but I can see someone rendering it as such for tweet purposes to more succinctly preserve the comedy of the situation)
@les_lobsters@jaarriss@Red_Roscoe I’m absolutely positive everyone who mangles this quote is doing it on purpose. I refuse to believe many people actually have bad enough reading comprehension to be taking it like that.
It’s like “I refute my name being used to tell lies” and going “you refute your name?!”
@bienpnn@writerofscratch Yeah they honest to god just want to be encouraging, it’s not backhanded.
People twist “if you are more confident in the language you’re somewhat less likely to get it because people figure you don’t need any encouraging or compliments” into “this is a sign you’re BAD”
@Jst_B_Easy1312@other_st_nick maybe the boyfriend originally mentioned his full even longer name at some point as a fun fact — the “banyama de” part could stick in someone’s head as sounding like “banana bread” pretty easily lol
@LightningBolt56@other_st_nick That would be a strange comment to make if he wasn’t actively watching a game at the time and would require probably more waiting and planning than just hopping on reddit and taking five minutes to ask some folks
@writerofscratch@LocasJK Does this guy think literally being interested enough to just reading news about the topic is already too liberal to exist here 😭
@TormalineHazard@Official_TVC okay yeah i found it and this is like blatantly obvious ‘sarcasm steeped in despair at the public perception of trans people + trans women in particular’
@TormalineHazard@Official_TVC > comparing trans women to Chris Chan
given gooseworx is a trans woman are you sure that was like, meant in a transphobic way at all rather than just a self deprecating or sarcastic comment about her own demographic
@MUzairMohiuddin@TitaevRamadan@shellyous wym you spelled it out “they shouldn’t say no” and “the parent will keep trying” doesn’t answer the question.
What will *happen* to them? Like what specific punishment etc? OP’s question is clearly about potential punishments (beatings etc) as a source of trauma.
@CorralSummer@kendrictonn@DBach218 The reply called OP an “AI twat” instead of taking two seconds to look at his profile and realize where his investment in the topic came from and OP replied to that very politely.
@DBach218@kendrictonn Th dude you’re replying to is a full on career traditional painter, he wants to consider what traits of his craft AI can and cannot replicate
Stop having knee jerk reactions to people simply suggesting controversial topics are worth thinking about rather than Obviously Bad
@sumvruta@dieworkwear It’s not a trivia tweet claiming the first themed one happened 20yrs ago. He’s describing when it became associated with a strong expectation of themed elaborate costumes.
As the pics from well after the 70s show, people continued to wear subdued clothes well after that one.
@Absurdum14@Saraadango@writerofscratch Although still often gendered in marketing (just because they’re part of a parent label that has gendered marketing like Dove, Secret, Old Spice etc), there are a lot that are unscented or else have ‘fresh scents’ which do not read as gendered the way musky/floral ones do
@Oldtypecel@magicalstarlite This isn’t remotely a “people don’t know/watch old anime” thing, it’s that people aware of the work today are not likely to have been introduced to it by the airing of a localization and will have heard of and watched it under the original name instead.
@Krieglaflare__@NickStillHere Please read about the case. The coffee was so insanely hot that this woman’s skin and underwear were fused together. It was hotter than any reasonable human would ever expect.
The reason this case is remembered as “stupid customer” is because of a pr campaign against her.
@Piipperi800@kohakoobs I don’t really agree with OP’s explanation of the situation, but it’s from the same general set of morals and expectations, yes. Some of them wil eventually upload the work for free online but selling it in a digital version is usually frowned upon.
