What Do I Do With All The Gold On My Fingers

saludos amigos is a film where white USamericans filter the entire continent through a USamerican lens and latin americans do not get to speak for themselves in the film unless they're cartoon versions of them imagined by USamericans. welcome to the disney 1940s slop era cunt

the samba segment at the end was easily the best one and it's mostly cause it's the only one that seemed to meaningfully engage with its culture. they picked an actual brazillian song from a brazillian artist and got the right instruments to play it. every other instance of latin american music is very blatantly filtered through a western orchestra, like, latin america does not get to present its own cultures on its own terms even a little bit in this film

Hazel was FUCKING DONE

my favorite kinds of lost media are stuff that is only "lost" to the public because some copyright holder sat their fat ass on it for decades and didn't know it was considered lost, and media that we didn't even know existed until someone 20 or 30 years later stumbled into it and put it on the internet. neither are lost media by the strictest definition but they do represent to me the two most interesting ways you could potentially lose media forever

God. It is really funny how Baldur's Gate 3 does the exact same thing with romance that Fallout 4 does it as described by Noah Caldwell-Gervais (who's come out as trans and nb btw so like. epic win) where it's meant to be as universal an experience as possible, so the party members "becoming attracted" to you amounts to unlocking cutscenes of them admitting that they want to fuck you because you did 10 things they liked or whatever. it wouldnt be as blatant if i didn't get lae'zel coming onto me like 4 hours after i started this playthrough

The Crass and Immature Japanese Visual Novels dont understand romance or love, and just seek to gamify and objectify it. They're not at all like Noble and Progressive Western RPGs where, if you literally just do a few things they like, their Deep, Troubled characters will, unprompted, state outright that they want to fuck you (with 3d private parts and everything). But it's zany and goofy and progressive because you can fuck a bear if you want

i do actually think it's crazy that employers get a say over shit like tattoos and piercings and we just let that happen

if you look cool as fuck you become unemployable

i do also mean like, face tattoos, yall know that right

besides the obvious that people should have the right to do what they want with their bodies as a form of self expression, the stigma against face tattoos specifically has a long, violent, racist, imperialist history that stretches across the globe
