So just a normal twitter thread of people over analyzing each other.

At this point it would be better to chop some wood, and make a fire outside.

That's Callum, from Sargon's podcast, The Lotus Eaters. I'm checking this out.

Just in: President Biden intends to die while in office, but isn't sure he'll manage to do it before 2024.

Speedrunners... Although I'm curious if they're parodying an actual game, or is it just generic rubbish.

Which do you think is the better Moldavian meme?

I guess when your echo chamber is tight enough, you can end up not hearing how people use "kike". I personally wasn't aware of it having a different meaning. I need to look this up.

The issue derives partly from how Japanese media don't portray Japanese people according to western stereotypes of Asians. Just look at anime, and tell me how that looks like "small eyed Asians".
So when they redo a character to be closer to reality, suddenly people notice.

Another part of the issue is also that they didn't have the graphical fidelity back then either. So all they could do is present a simplified model of their beauty standards, which don't include the elements we stereotype about Asians, so the end result doesn't look Asian to us.

Unpopular opinion: people thinking they can derive some secret "deep" meaning from media (usually to do with some gay shit), are no different from conspiracy theorists that derive the "secret Jew agenda" from the shape of contrails.
Probably why I have a disdain for both groups of people.
