PSA: if someone ever asks you why Viz Redub of Sailor Moon is better than the old DiC/Cloverway one, show them this video
Okay but are we not going to address how fucking hysterical the original dub was in it’s complete and utter “no homo”ness
Its kinda funny how they just completely threw out entire scenes and used the lip flaps as just more space to stress how heterosexual everyone is. Original: hey u hear about the western mythology of adam and eve? 4kids: NO THE MAN IN THIS PHOTO IS MY BOYFRIEND THAT I TOTALLY HAVE
pretending to hold views you don’t believe in on your main blog and then expressing your true beliefs on a sideblog sounds extremely stressful. whatever amount of fake internet points you’re trying to preserve probably isn’t worth that stress. tumblr isn’t real. say everything you want to say.
dude the bee movie is like. unironically pretty damn good. its silly, sure, but its funny! yes
My sociology professor had a really good metaphor for privilege today. She didn’t talk about race or gender or orientation or class, she talked about being left-handed.
A left-handed person walks into most classrooms and immediately is made aware of their left-handedness – they have to sit in a left-handed seat, which restricts their choices of where to sit. If there are not enough left-handed seats, they will have to sit in a right-handed seat and be continuously aware of their left-handedness. (There are other examples like left-handed scissors or baseball mitts as well.)
Meanwhile, right-handed people have much more choice about where to sit, and almost never have to think about their right-handedness.
Does this mean right-handed people are bad? No.
Does it mean that we should replace all right-handed desks with left-handed desks? No.
But could we maybe use different desk styles that can accommodate everyone and makes it so nobody has limited options or constant awareness that they are different? Yes.
Now think of this as a metaphor. For social class. For race. For ethnicity. For gender. For orientation. For anything else that sets us apart.
you know, i can totally believe like, half the college stories i’ve heard, just from one day
for example, here are some choice quotes from one of yesterday’s classes:
“Look at this puppy. Look at this poor little puppy. He’s dying. Save him. …And that’s why we need tax reform.”
“They’re like, ‘YOU NEVER TAKE OUT THE FUCKING GARBAGE!’, and you’re like, ‘Oh, it’s about the garbage.’” “Why the fuck is there a baby in the road? Just pick up the baby!” “’Imagine a world of thought!’ It’s like, no. What the fuck are you saying?”
And, my personal favorite:
(about the textbook) “I’m gonna put this next to the trash where it belongs.”
Time is an illusion that helps things make sense. So we’re always living in the present tense. It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends. But you and I will always be back then.
