Bweh!

every time i think about overwatch's orientalism i go a lil more insane. 5 japanese characters all of which are tied to a very stereotypical mythologized version of japan. they're some of the few explicitly magical characters. all of them are part of clans and lineages and shit. every map that takes place in japan is an orientalist fairy land with idyllic old looking villages with shrines and gates and cobblestone and zero utility poles in sight. this game is so incredibly racist

what's interesting to me is that no other asian characters get this treatment. mei is a climate scientist or something. diva is a gamer. lifeweaver and symmetra are scientist. something about japan specifically makes the overwatch devs get a boner for the image of a permanently ancient magical other, japanese characters are simply not allowed to be contemporary

Best comment I just saw "Helen of Troy was perfectly cast, because all these men are fighting about her."

Hookup culture is so convoluted these days and I don't meant that in a way that is dismissive of the act in of itself but rather that you used to be able to just have a few drinks with a girl and then she'd put her eggs in you or vice versa nd then maybe you'd stack colored pebbles together for a few hours but nowadays she always has to try and poison your wine which I suppose I can't really complain about because I also try to poison hers while slipping antidote into mine but she does the same so we get mad at each other and grapple for a while and then she stings me with her stinger or injects venom into me with her fangs or what have you and THEN finally gets to the oviposition. It all just feels a bit overcomplicated to me and you can't even stack colored pebbles afterwards because you're still paralyzed from the venom

we taught a lib that data centres are essential infrastructure which they have relied on for 3 decades now and that opposition to data centres won't stop all imperial infrastructure being colonial, and the lib shot themselves

not to imply that protesting data centre construction is bad, do that for sure, we just also need to understand that if the protest succeeds then the data and infrastructure companies are just going to move on to the next most vulnerable population until they can find one without the capacity to protest, and this will continue for as long as global imperialism survives

"unbecoming" is such a great word. bro that shit was so rude you no longer Are
