I’m 6’2 and weigh 180lbs

I think this guy’s been having a stroke.

Background:

Erdogan sends his goons out every election to get those sweet abroad votes. This time there’s a referendum coming up that would drastically expand his power and increase his already dictatorial grip on the country.

The Dutch government refuses to cooperate and denied entry to the Turkish politician. They are sick of Turks being more tied to Turkey than the country they actually live in, and Turks often riot and fight out foreign disputes on European soil (such as with Kurds, after the coup, etc)

This is what the impulsive king of hypocrites, Erdogan, did:

Call the Netherlands nazis despite idolizing Hitler himself

Says Turkey will ‘retaliate in the harshest way’

Have several fake ‘escorts’ driven to distract the police so the politican could enter the country illegally

Made sure the consulate she was speaking at called for Turkish migrants in the Netherlands to come down to riot

1,500+ ‘protesters’ came to fight the police

Rioters assaulted police, damaged property, riot police, armored vehicles and water canons had to be sent in

Turks all around cried about ‘muh human rights’ 

The Dutch consulate in Turkey lowered it Dutch flag and rose the Turkish isntead

Dutch ambassador was banned from Turkey

Turks screamed “Allah Akhbar” and nationalistic phrases all night, showing the sign of the Grey Wolves (a far-right extremely violent Turkish organization)

There were riots in GERMANY at the Dutch consulate as well (wtf?)

Honestly, fuck you guys, I’m sick of this shit. This is peak multiculturalism. It just doesn’t work. This is it. No matter how much you support migrants, this is what you seem to get. When the moment comes plenty of them have no issue with turning against their host country and start violence.

The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline

“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.

How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?

Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.

The inspiration for all those clothes our favorite characters wear has to come from somewhere. While we can spectate where some creators get ideas for outfits, here are two popular examples of fashion’s influence on manga and in turn anime.

Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon.

The Sailor Moon franchise exploded both in and out of Japan after the original manga was published from 1991-1997. The 1992 anime is now a beloved piece of Saturday morning nostalgia for kids around the world. Though much of the art from Sailor Moon is directly from the runway. These looks, including that iconic Queen Serenity dress, are from a 1992 fashion week.

Takeuchi has been influenced by more than just high fashion. She’s also taken inspiration from the outfits of figure skaters, idol groups, figures in fine art and, the most obvious of all, the streets of japan, where the seifuku (Japanese girls’ school uniform) is commonly found. Fashion from everywhere is infused into Sailor Moon as well Takeuchi’s other works, but if you think that’s simply because Sailor Moon is a girly show meant to appeal to girls then you are about to be proven wrong.

Hirohiko Araki, the creator of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

Originally began to be published in 1986 and still ongoing, Jojo is a staple of boys manga that spiked in popularity outside of Japan thanks to its recent anime adaptation. It’s known for its cast of macho men (and the occasional woman) that each have their own unique, though supernatural, fighting style as well as their unique senses of fashion.

“Fashion is a part of each of the characters. Those wearing hats will keep them on, even in the ocean. The colors used were influenced by the designs of Versace, Moschino, Missoni and other Italian brands that were very trendy in the 80s when the series began,” - Hirohika Araki

Araki’s characters’ clothing designs and poses are inspired from fashion photography and illustrations.

The iconic hand-in-face pose from Jojo originates from the world of fashion which clearly has had its influence on the creators manga and anime for decades. Whether it be through magical girls or burly stand users or anything else, fashion has found a new audience through manga and anime whether audiences are aware of it or not.
