Itβs extremely obvious that America bomb threat procedures are heavily influenced byβ¦ The Troubles. Because security practices are apparently trapped in a not just pre 9/11 but pre 1998 mindset due to another Anglosphere country having a conflict where bombings and bomb threats were major tactics, and this really feels like itβs only a big deal because shared language, whereas the shared culture focus would be a lot more concerned about Brazilian bombings and protest culture or something like that.
Like, widespread political/terrorist bomb threats were only a thing in pre Good Friday Accords UK! Why the heck are we still acting like the IRA is going to blow up an office building in Montana any day now?
I get that itβs an established tactic and high school prank but we donβt put this much worry into tactics and threats that have actually happened in the last 10 years and in this country. Everyone doesnβt have a lock-glueing SOP or a protesters use ladders to get on your roof SOP and those are actual tactics that have been used in the United States in the last decade.
Do you ever think about how you are almost completely unaware of pretty much any media not created in the anglosphere?
Not saying it to shame you. More saying it to note how the way the mediasphere works basically instills in you the believe that indeed, you do not need to know anything about any media that is not created in English. (With maybe the exception of anime/manga.)
It is not even a white/non-white issue. Sure, you might be able to at least name a handful of pieces of media from non-English-speaking majority white countries, than you are able to name media from, I don't know, Kenya, Senegal, Colombia, Chile, the Philippines or Mongolia. But in the end... it is still just the thing. We are taught: "If it is not English, it is not important."
Growing up outside of the anglosphere you hear things like "Dwarves are always scottish coded" "Orcs have a black coding problem" and I'm like... yeah... I... guess? It's difficult to tell since media gets changed a lot through transtalting and dubbing.
For example, dwarves have always looked more like a viking stereotype for me because well, they have long beards and are hoarse in their manners and that's the only referent I have to interpret them. Dwarves dubbed in spanish speak very much like a normal person but even then they throw in fancy register to sound old-timey.
Things like "Orcs are black coded" I... don't see it because black stereotypes in my mind are pretty much the grandfather of the boondocks. Next to one another, orcs are just mythological monsters like ogres, or giants, I lack a lot of context to make the connection.
WHICH CORE COUNTRY OF THE ANGLOSPHERE ARE YOU FROM?
United-Kingdom
United States
Canada
Australia
New-Zealand
I'm from another country of the anglosphere
I'm not from a country of the anglosphere
We know tumblr is dominated by the anglosphere, but how is it distributed between its core countries?
"The five core countries of the Anglosphere are usually taken to be Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries enjoy close cultural and diplomatic links with one another and are aligned under military and security programmes." (Wikipedia)
Reblog for bigger sample-size. I'm really curious about this!
