GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY ITS ALL GONE TO SHIT

Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren't about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal

somewhere in this beautiful world there is a man who sounds like Paulie Walnuts because he learned English by watching the Sopranos

Okay but this is exactly what I’m talking about when I say that it’s corporations driving the Culture War. Like, if M&M corporation just redesigned its characters, no one would give a shit. But if M&M corporation announces that it’s redesigning it’s characters *to reflect DIVERSITY* or something like that, then they know that they can count on conservative commentators to performatively lose their shit about Wokeness and how it’s infesting every aspect of the culture and how the communists are trying to trans your M&Ms; and even better than that, they know that they can depend on snarky progressives to make fun of the conservatives for this and say that they want to fuck candy mascots. And so a complete non-story will have legs for days and go viral by playing the tribes against one another.
