nobody getting spammed by “tourist” memes is going to change their mind because they don’t know what that means. why would they know what that means. why would they care
why are anime fans so bad at this. if you sincerely think that a) this is a non-sexualised depiction of a woman and b) you can convince people of that fact by yelling at them, you have completely lost touch with normal reality
Growing up Australian surrounded by American, British and Canadian media you get a decent sense that the rest of the world isn’t exactly like it is where you are. Americans grow up watching Disney channel and lose their minds when you tell them the supermarkets are different.
(video evidence of Americans being annoying and parochial) “I wonder why Australians don’t like us?? must be because something to do with the convicts!”
For being two of the most culturally & historically similar countries on the planet, Australians are weirdly negative toward the USA while Americans (when we think of them at all) generally regard Australians with great affection. I don't really understand it.
@spaceliberal@bierkonceagain they’re all bullshit but the uk legal advice one is currently punching above its weight in extremely convenient narratives that go viral
most of all I cannot believe the woman who used to post unfunny cartoons in the female fashion circlejerk subreddit is now seen as some kind of public intellectual
Liberals will be like “capitalism works we swear, we just need secular people to repair the fraying social fabric by adhering to religions they don’t actually believe in”
It makes them really vulnerable to being sources of plagiarism and bullshit and seeing them being held up as better than “normal” documentaries is really depressing
Sorry to go on about this but YT docs like Defunctland are purely secondary sources - they have no first-hand testimony, no interviews, no original footage. That’s a significant limitation!
Absolutely incredible to me that people on here are simultaneously consuming a 12 hour long documentary by Ken Burns and claiming that a four hour long documentary should never exist because the director chose to upload it to YouTube instead
