Hyperlynx posted:In the context of people not knowing the comics, and in the context of "gee Tintin was kind of racist", it doesn't land that way. I imagine especially so for people who haven't read The blue Lotus in the first place. I haven't read the Blue Lotus and I got the point that they were supposed to be the baddies right away. It's very rare for even racists to paint that kind of bullying as something the good guys do: their power fantasy isn't using their social status to make someone they already have power over more miserable, it's defending themselves (using lethal force, of course) from an ethnic minority who has given them moral justification to escalate.

Can somebody post the picture of the middle aged white guy standing next to a bomb disposal unit (or whatever), smiling with his hands in his pockets?

What the gently caress is going on with that picture, those are hazmat guys not bomb disposal and it's the height of idiocy to stand anywhere near a hazmat crew working.

I think Lincoln was indeed looking for that picture but thought it was a bomb squad instead of folks dealing with asbestos or something that. Could be that they're undergoing training and there is not actually harmful material nearby. But this is the internet, sometimes things are better without additional context.

They don't even have their heads covered apart from the face mask so I doubt it's anything actually hazardous. Could be just something stinky down there, or they're rehearsing and took a photo as a joke.

Could also be that it's something where short exposure isn't dangerous but those guys have to work with it daily so they have to protect themselves. Like how having an x-ray taken is fine but the one taking it has to go behind a screen because they're doing it every day. Most likely a dumb "what's the worst that can happen?" boomer though

Yeah that’s the one. I hadn’t seen it in years and my mind had turned them into like The Hurt Locker guys or something.

IIRC the guy in the pink shirt found some space shuttle wreckage from the Columbia disaster on his property and the recovery crew turned up in hazmat suits because that's SOP when picking up space stuff, even if it turns out to be completely inert.

If that's not a dedicated pediatric truck and showed up if I called 911, I'd rather die. Same would go for if I pulled up to work and had to work on that monstrosity for a shift.
