kissing the atsv character designers directly on the lips

I love the detail that Lord and Miller have shared a couple times that "Pav" was doing well in the test screenings, but they got notes from some of the animators who were of Indian descent that they wanted him to be more culturally specific, so they got a room of those people, Karan Soni (the voice actor), and some Indian writers together to completely redesign him. This is apparently where the "chai tea" bit originated.

And after that he tested WAY BETTER.

Because usually the white guys in charge are like, "Oh these minorities they are complaining but it's fine." It was "fine" but they were like "yeah this could be better." So they made it better.

DON'T SETTLE.

ETA: Here is a clip of Karan Soni talking about it. It starts almost exactly one minute in.

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

Gotta try it

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

One day and I bumped into a guy while doing the Murder Strut and he apologized to me even though I was the one who had bumped into him.

It works wonders.

In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let ‘em know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.

If there’s anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize I’m not moving for them, I can’t think of it atm.

Walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

Wheel like you’re gonna win the Indy 500 and don’t care how.

Your crutches are short swords; walk like you can see them buried in the bodies of anyone who crosses (in front of) you.

I had never seen these updates to the Patriarchy Chicken Game before and they are all a goddam DELIGHT

I was walking down a crowded avenue, and a man was coming right for me, with purpose. I raised my arms across my chest like Wonder Woman and he finally swerved at the last minute. Chalk up one for us Amazons!

I wore a cape coat and some tall combat heels that made me feel like Darth Vader to work and whenever I walked and you can beat your ass people moved out of my way. Just thought, ‘walk like I’m going to cut down someone with my light saber.’
