:jerkbag: it's the normal way in the us and canada.

The official way in Canada is DD/MM/YYYY, but so much American stuff bleeds over that you couldn't fault anyone for writing it the other way. It's generally confusing so I always write eg 14 Oct 2017 to make it obvious.

The objectively correct way is YYYY/MM/DD

Hey I'm with you there, if only because nobody writes it YYYY/DD/MM, so it's obvious which is which.


Besesoth posted:

The point was that if the date was March 4 (MM/DD), the movie hadn't come out yet, since it premiered on March 23. If it was April 3 - the European way (DD/MM) - then it had.

Yeah, I get that. It's just annoying when Americans express confusion as to why someone would do something in a non-American fashion. Like, it isn't some obscure fact that the majority of the world isn't American, it shouldn't be surprising at this point.

Unless that is a teacher who writes dates the european way for some reason,

The reason is likely that the teacher is European. Teaching in Europe. Where they write the dates in the European fashion.

Europe isn't the only place that uses the word pupil. I was pointing out a possible date error in the stdh. I really don't give a poo poo how you write dates or how you think the normal way should be.

The point is it didn't happen. It's like all those stories about kids getting detention for busting into class late yelling "troll in the dungeon, thought you ought to know". Even if it did happen it's very unremarkable because it's just kids mimicing popular movie scenes.

Of course, the whole date argument is pretty much moot, since the books came out long before.

yeah it's a star wars thing, op lives in a magical world where perfect strangers you see irl are both able to tell and intensely care which fictional characters you think should kiss

the racism drop is probably from stupid ship wars between people who think rey should be with finn(who's black) and people who think she should be with kylo

no idea on the hairbuns though, that escapes even me

Rey wears three buns

Shippers loooove them some portmanteau couple names. My favorites are Harmony (Harry Potter/Hermione Granger) SanSan (Sandor Clegane/Sansa Stark) and Pepperony (Tony Stark/Pepper Potts).

Didn't sandor kidnap sansa to use as leverage if he was captured, or have I remembered the books wrong?

Isn’t the point of shippers that they talk about/want a relationship between two characters that hasn’t happened yet or won’t altogether? Pepper and Tony is a thing that happened

A villain kidnaps a woman, holds her hostage, then tries to kill her with a laser sword. Clearly they are meant to be together.

There's also the possibility of her getting with the black guy which is being ignored. Calling it "racist" is a bit of a stretch, but I do think the fact that the fandom has far more art/fiction/etc. of the whiny villain (who is white) than one of the three main heroes (who is black) says something.

An ‘anti’, in this context, is someone who thinks abuse/rape/pedophila/incest/beastiality/toxic relationships are wrong, and that they should be handled or written about with tact and an eye towards respect for the victims, rather than being written as tittilating, making implications that the victim wanted it, or as though the author approves of them.

‘Antis’ are naturally terrible people who want everyone in fandom to commit suicide and of course also they’re ableist/racist/transphobic for some reason?

When someone is claiming ‘the eeeeeeebil antis’ are out to get them, it means someone told them to knock off watching kiddie porn, basically.

I mean, that would be the obvious plot twist. Rey has her mysterious past with mysterious parents.

It would actually be the best if it turned out to be a huge red herring and she was just born to some dirt farmers from planet Bum-Fu'k Nowayr

Except that the "pedophilia" is stuff like an 18-year old and a 25-year old or any relationship with an age gap regardless of whether or not the participants are both of legal age.

The stdh is coming from inside the thread!

Literally no one gives a gently caress about this poo poo either IRL or on the internet. Sorry you got butthurt because someone told you that your violent rape/'abuse-is-love' Sheith fic or dog-dick-rapeworld Desitel art was gross tho. Just block them and keep telling yourself that you're the only true LGBT ally or whatever it is you tell yourself.

...and yes, grown-rear end adults preying on barely-legal teens is almost always gross and sketchy. Cool that you figured it out.

I think my earliest stdh is when my grampa told me and my brother that in WWII, he and his buddies cornered Hitler and filled the bastard full of lead.

I only found out later on that he was a radio operator in the Canadian Navy and probably wouldn't have been within a hundred miles of Adolph at any given time.
