#bad phrasing

What do we have here? A personalised Flashback Light with individuals from that person’s life. These aren’t just randos, or ‘friends from the school’ who could be anyone, these folks have a true resemblance to Kaito.

What’s more is the lack of detail here: that they simply wish for him to be safe. They know he’s in dire straits, and can’t talk about the details; a considerably different situation from the final Flashback Light, which is the person being psyched up for a journey. 

Strange that it’s this way, considering that the Ultimate Astronaut is supposedly going on the journey of his lifetime...

We’re also made aware that something had happened to them, and we know that something did...

...because of the fate of DICE.

What’s also curious about this particular one, is how Monokuma makes a point of suggesting ‘don’t take my word for it’, yet in the case of Ouma’s motive video, the meagre information he gives about DICE... is all he has to give. Hmmm.

There’s a distinct theming behind the talents gathered. In DR1, there was a distinct theming of motives. 

Given [this situation] with Shuichi’s talent, and the fact the group had to throw away memories connected to their talent, it would suggest that the theming of motives has a lot to do with the situation of their talents.

Im a person that cries a lot (and at every emotion) to the point all my friends know how to deal with it and that its normal for me. One time I saw a video on TT about a black girl sharing some issues black ppl often have and I cried about it. Then my friend asked whats up and I showed her. She reminded me Im not black and I said "Yeah, but you are" and I was so sad for her and everybody else with that possible struggle. But then another friend noticed me crying too and asked whats up - and instead of explaining it properly, I replied to "Why are you crying?" with "'Cause [Friend] is black". 😭

The dramatis personae of this book I just started defined a character as a murderer and "in possession breasts and a vagina," which took me a minute to process meant that she's afab, not that she just has dismembered body parts

how much do i have to practice before i can draw frames that are very close together without having to put so much effort into making sure all the features flow proportionally or whatever

so like

do you ever feel the urge to correct something as factually incorrect

but like

doing so would only make you come across as bigoted or harmful

OK Tumblr, before the explosion hits – Bob Costas was talking shit about ESPN, not Caitlyn Jenner. Don’t get caught up in the sensationalized headlines, y’all, dude knows better (at least I imagine) than to be transphobic.

That said, he could’ve picked better phrasing, esp. because it probably did take a lot of courage for Caitlyn to come out to the public. Also he really didn’t give an example of someone else doing some courageous shit. Which he easily could’ve done, I mean there are people doing some incredible things right now (full disclosure – I stay pretty much to boxing in terms of sports).

I personally would’ve said Michelle Beadle, since her and a few other women were the only people willing to bring up Floyd Mayweather’s repeated domestic abuse and general misogyny during the Mayweather/Pacquiao hype train. Shit took guts. Of course coming out to the public after years and years is no small feat either, and by no means am I trying to say one is better than the other, I’m just saying that there’s an alternative if Costas wanted to cover his ass.

Other than that, dogshit phrasing on his part, which does kinda come off as transphobic, especially when taken out of context.
