You may not like it, but I think this fellow has a bright future ahead of themselves as a purveyor of bespoke woke jokes.

But can anyone handle Bespoke Woke Broke Bro Jokes About Tokes?

They should go into showbiz, get a major network to run a comedy show full of such cutting-edge, subversive humor that hits at the establishment. I don't know, it probably won't fly, it may even be a circus, but I'm putting my foot down.

I’ve lived in Japan for several years. I speak Japanese. I read and write Japanese. This is an anime, Shingeki no Kyojin. Highly popular, stylized, intended to demonstrate the alienation that people feel, particularly young people feel, in their cultures. Does anime have violence? Yes. It’s highly stylized violence. It is not meant to induce people to violence.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert)

This incident has been truly difficult for our first Weaboo-American congressperson.

 

[Kirin]

I had to look up the context for this and good lord, what the actual fuck.

 

[muteKi]

I can but presume it's "attack on titan isn't, like, really anti-semitic you guys"

 

[Kirin]

No, that would at least be something you could debate if you squinted a lot. This is about someone's staff making a photoshop vid of slaying Democratic pols as Titans and then actual congressmen trying to claim it wasn't directing violence against their colleagues or even, you know, just wildly inappropriate.

 

[Zef]

And when said congressman was censured for it, he doubled down and reposted it.

Well, Gossar himself probably didn't know Attack on Titan from Gumby. It was some Groyper aide that threw this together and Gossar was like "cool I get to fantasy stab mean lady while maintaining plausible deniability".

deleting tiktok because someone called an asian muppet playing the guitar cultural appropriation

Well, guess I'm spending the night looking up absurd Sesame Street posts now...

 

[RT-55J]

I grow weary of new guys stop making them

 

[Pajaro Pete]

this should not be misconstrued as kink shaming, i just thot it was funny in a "there is no way you can guess where this passage is heading" way

Believe in salvation and hold a determination to fist.

Not quite. Rowling's real importance lies in the fact that she was the first writer to present a world in which class and wealth mattered, some characters were poor, some were rich, and being poor was a hardship, not just a cheery sentimental thing in the scenery.

 

[Becksworth]

So was Dickens expunged from English class since I went to school?

Edit: Now I'm curious what this was a rebuttal to.

Well good job proving the low effort shitposter right, Rowling stan...

Sometimes, a lot of fuss is made over what’s seen as “gatekeeping” within certain communities. It can be, depending on the context, justifiable to question and critique this behavior. At other times, the effort of maintaining a level of exclusivity, of retaining an idiosyncratic shapeliness to the communal organism, can be a legitimate attempt to protect the personal, interpersonal, and cultural aspects from the flattening effect of monoculture. Hypothetically, I welcome the Castlevania TV series and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate having introduced new and younger demographics to Castlevania. In actuality, stuff like “wholesome sad gay himbo Alucard”, image macros, and neurotic “stan” fanfiction being what’s now first associated with the series makes me want to put as much distance as possible between my interests and those latecoming impositions.

 

[RT-55J]

Sorry, but if you don't like "wholesome sad gay himbo Alucard" that's your problem bucko.

 

[Sprite]

If wholesome sad gay himbos were monoculture I'd probably be having a lot more fun.

You have been doomed ever since you lost the ability to read good and learn to do other stuff good too.

 

[muteKi]

I understand most of those 4 words on their own but I don't as a phrase

 

[Octopus Prime]

Look; Captain N Alucard resonates with some people, okay

 

[Torzelbaum]

He doesn't seem very sad to me.

...

He must be very good at hiding his pain behind a cheerful facade.

(Also, I wonder if anyone has ever cosplayed as that Alucard.)

 

[Octopus Prime]

Me, every day of my life
