so long as there’s no discrimination or harmful intent, then fine.

YES. or, just as bad, in movies tv and literature, when they do the same to try and make their content more “inclusive”. do not get me wrong; i do not have anything against lgbtq+ poc characters, but just make sure they’re an actual CHARACTER. i want well written roles in my stuff that i can engage with and carry meaningful arcs, not a character whose entire schtick is that they pander to a demographic by being as flamboyantly of that demographic as possible (also not to say that i have anything against flamboyance; Klaus in Umbrella Academy fucking ROCKS and i just really hope they handle Elliot Page’s character’s transition with grace).

i hate when my cats are like this i literally give them the stare down and am like “no, fat ass, you have food.”

?

this is funny, but the M means Model… Model 1. like the “T” stood for Type…

more like vietnam presented that as a challenge. tactically, the American military had few battlefield defeats, and if they were sent to take a hill or a town, they did. BUT, there is a massive difference between “taking” and “holding”. and we couldn’t hold each strategically important spot forever. not that that the enemy was too much for them; more like it was a logistical nightmare of olympic proportions. not to mention the political aspect of it…
vietnam was a clusterfuck. we had the best damn military in the world led by a bunch of suits who didn’t know what their end goal was and barely knew their own ass from a hole in the ground. this affected nearly every aspect of how and when we fought, and it lost us the war.

literally the only one i give a shit about is the new Thor. and not even in theaters i’ll wait until it’s on disney+ or something

Small diameter but i get it.

lol whatever gets them in the door?

this is all so true, ESPECIALLY when you have kids.

what IS that??

can’t be real. don’t see The Turtle

i feel like i know what this is but i can’t think of the name

seriously i enjoyed Obi Wan Kenobi but contextually what the fuck.

that is absolutely awesome.

is this limited to movies? or can we include books? because i enter Angela the Herbalist from the Eragon series.

that… i’m sorry. that unfortunately is a thing that can happen. i have a friend where i work where he can’t go to japan to interface with our associates out there for the same reason, despite being the head of his department. he has to send a representative. he’s tried to work it out but it’s been difficult.
this does not reflect all of japanese people, mind you. this largely seems to be a corporate or upper class issue, kind of like a significant portion of white upper class people here in America…
