okay so do you guys ever think about how southern american accents are assigned to character that are unrefined or dumb and how southern characters are treated like they're all dumb hicks and how the general american accent is treated like the 'normal' accent and how even in southern settings the smarter characters aren't given a southern accent or if they get one it's never as thick as the one the others are given and they have something closer to a general american accent or even an LA accent

Do you guys ever think about how Korean and Japanese products are treated in American media and advertisements as being exotic and high quality and how people always say japan and korea are living in the future and Korean and Japanese people are treated by many people as being exotic and sexy but a lot of people forget that's also a person

It's funny needing scara for a puzzle or platforming thing. "Does it have to be me?" Yes now shut up and fly over this wall

Occasionally I see people(1) in the comments of posts(2) saying that if people are misunderstanding the OP(3), that must mean the post(4) was poorly phrased. But(5) it is nearly(6) impossible to phrase anything in a way that 100% of the audience(7) will understand(8). If most(9) responses indicate they understand the OP(3), the phrasing is probably(6) not the issue. At a certain point, you(10) have to learn to stop and consider whether your(10) first interpretation is the only or most reasonable interpretation. Trying to spell out(11) anything that anyone could possibly misunderstand quickly becomes unwieldy(12)

(1) By "people" I mean a variety of individuals from a variety of demographics. Some of these individuals may actually be bots, but I am working under the assumption that most individuals responding on Tumblr are human beings

(2) "Posts" can refer to text (or other media) posted on a variety of websites, but the fact that this commentary is being made on Tumblr implies that without additional qualifiers, "posts" refers primarily to Tumblr posts

(3) "Original Poster," used online to refer to the individual who started an individual post, thread, etc.

(4) The phrase "the post" now serves as a stand in for posts the OP(3) (in this case me) has seen where a person(1) has made the sort of commentary described here

(5) While not strictly grammatically correct, starting a sentence with "and" or "but" for emphasis is a common rhetorical flourish

(6) Note the qualifier

(7) See (1)

(8) "Understand" here means "interpret in the way the OP(3) intended"

(9) A hard number is not given here because there is no strict threshold, and there are many circumstances where fault is not cleanly divisible between OP(3) and the confused commenter(7)

(10) A general "you" is often used in informal writing as an equivalent of the pronoun "one" and does not address the reader as an individual, because it is not written with a specific individual in mind

(11) Metaphorically referring to explaining something in detail, not literal spelling of words

(12) See (1)-(12)

Shout out to my friend, who, upon finding out that I play Fallout New Vegas, said "how long after playing it did you come out as nonbinary" thanks flare <3

I have my beef with jurassic world rebirth but one of my qualms is that every dinosaur is inexplicably obsessed with chasing down the small slow humans regardless of their size and every single one of them doesn't stop until it physically can't get to them or dies. None of these guys are persistence predators, most predators will abandon prey if it's too much trouble (uses too much energy to chase or injures them), and these humans are way too small to matter to them. This is a goldfish cracker.

Easily the most annoying kind of vampire in the world are the ones where you finally corner the fuckers and when you're going in with the stake they start spouting off sociology 101 bullshit to try and weasel out of it. "Oh, no ethical consumption under capitalism," "oh, the rich are the real vampires if you think about it-" yeah, yeah, you ate like fifty homeless people, asshole. Hold still
