It's always been the same, anyone who makes a big thing about "I'm leaving this forum/community/site forever!" without also being banned is going to be back within a year, tops. It's the people who just quietly disappear who'll actually be gone for real.

It's the difference between wanting to leave and wanting to be seen to leave. If you really want to be gone, you don't care if people see you

Pack it up, y'all, he's solved it. We just gotta cut funding to other countries and mass shootings won't happen anymore.

Given current events in both Ukraine and Texas I'm picturing the United States arming teachers and children with like, stinger missiles and polish T-72s.

Jorp would probably lose a boxing match with 2022 Lowtax.

I think sam seder would land one punch and jorbo would just disintegrate into a cloud of dust.

Other option is he suffers cascading bone failure where one snaps and then his whole body just crunches down into a heap like a collapsing electricity pylon.

Wow, only serious movers and shakers can get a crosswalk temporarily painted and then likely painted over rapidly asap after the specified period

They must have a stranglehold on the city

we have a permanent one in my city right in front of city hall, painted by city roads staff

it did not stop the nazis from beating up trans people at pride that year, nor did it stop the cops from looking the other way or the city administration approving the cops looking the other way during the beatings

I saw a news article mentioning The Wheel of Time casting a black woman to play a red haired woman and my first thought of course was "What is that ginger erasure guy up to?" only for me to find out there's actually tons of dudes super angry about black women replacing redhead characters that they fetishize.

Her being ginger is semi important thing due to where the character is from.
So Keep her black but also make her ginger. I'm curious how they will trip over themselves to argue its wrong without going mask off.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It is kind of a weird trend but I put it down to redheads being a whole Thing for comic book secondary characters.

It's been ages since I read WoT, but IIRC it's only important because blonde or red hair + pale complexion + pale eyes visibly mark her as Aiel in the lands west of the Spine where that appearance is unusual. For a TV show they could replace that with any other visual signifier and as long as it's consistent it would serve the same purpose in the plot.

Like, say, casting all of the Aiel as black. :getin:

Well they've already signified Rands red hair being rare and signifying his parentage from coming from there in the first season. So I'm not sure how they could write themselves out of it at this point.

I'm also not sure casting a warrior desert tribe of people who the rest of the world consider primitive and savage as all black people would be a great change.

Yes. Really tall too.
There is a lore reason to explain all this if you really care. They weren't originally from the desert

But the important thing is they just need some visual characteristics in the TV show so people can identify them where ever they go. Personally I think just keeping them all ginger (but dropping the fair skinned stuff) will be the easiest way to do it.

Yes. IIRC the original authorial concept was "what if the Irish were a nomadic desert culture". No, this doesn't make any sense.

Out of everywhere on the planet not riddled with poison magic a bunch of fair skinned redheads decided hey, you know where we should go live? The desert. At least Irish-descended Australians have the prison colony excuse.

Pretty major spoilers for Wheel of time if you somehow really care but never made it to book 6. Been a while but basically:
the aiehl and the TUATHA'AN are the same people, only the aiehl broke their vow of pacifism way back and banished themselves to the desert and became badass desert ninjas. Basically WoT’s fremen. They’re both fantasy Travelers. I don’t remember why the desert group became more pasty and red headed than the others.

Really hoping the show finds its footing. For everything it did right it did it something really stupid, and Thats before Covid and an actor leaving caused the finale to be a complete trash fire.
