An example of me being completely wrong:
I was recently watching old Tex Avery cartoons and was drawn towards the ones banned from circulation. I watched one called Uncle Tom's Cabaรฑa banned for depicting black people unfairly apparently after a newspaper complained about it. In the cartoon to my surprise the villain of the picture (Simon Legree) is depicted as a hook nosed money obsessed Dick Dastardly level villain who snakes across the ground looking to swindle people out of money. The instant I saw this I started to wonder if the real reason the cartoon was pulled was because it was actually insanely anti-semitic on a level I've never seen before. I looked into the complaints and found the original articles published in the Pittsburgh Courier negro newspaper about it expecting that the editor or owner of the paper would be Jewish and after hours of searching I had to give up as everybody involved was just black and offended by the cartoon on its own terms. -

I also didn't think the cartoon was offensive at all either, it was quite charming. but I'm not black. -

@Racist_Columbo @lain there is literally nothing wrong with refusing to buy foreign goods and hoarding gold to the point that it completely destabilises the world economy In conversation from shitposter.world permalink -

@VD15 @lain I think Equilibrium sucked as a film despite some really cool ingredients, gun kata was one of them. can't really put my finger on why it failed though. I think maybe making all the characters be unable to emote due to the narrative didn't help it. that Will Smith film After Earth also flopped with a similar gimmick of no emotions allowed In conversation from shitposter.world permalink -

maybe it's good that AI is making it impossible for anyone to know what's real anymore, and that this situation will hit the priestly Fact Checker class the hardest, and will result in a more mythic culture that is resistant to regime attempts to shape it In conversation from shitposter.world permalink -

@toast it's all muscle memory and you gain xp when you sleep and your brain rewires for the next day to make it slightly easier so just stay consistent with small incremental practice and you will shock yourself by how much improvement you make. also don't play too much and destroy your fingers like I did In conversation from shitposter.world permalink -

I cannot endorse this latest Iranian display of public propaganda. It is far too inflammatory. Crossing out the Eye of Horus is NEVER acceptable and deeply offensive. The rest is whatever In conversation from shitposter.world permalink Attachments
