Uh, that's a really strange bit of projection.

What people are reacting to is the exchange "man it's hard for black people to get dates" → "well most people don't want to date close relatives (but lower class people do haw haw)" which... uh...

I realized Firefly isn't very good and the devotion that it gets from fans is massive unearned. Plus there's a lot of AUG in there





Also isn't it weird a show that has a lot of Chinese culture and language in it has zero Asians in it main cast? Actually I cannot remember a single Asian person on the show.

Metal is pretty fun, but it's fandom is sure as hell AUG

Agreed, but River and Simon are explicitly said to be half-Asian, IIRC. But yeah, very few people of Asian descent in the main cast. It wasn't the least diverse main cast ever, though.

Until that last post, I really thought the joke was supposed to be: "a sister" gets a message from "a brother" → "can't do it, that's like dating my brother" :haw:

I was going to make a joke, then I realised it would be a Dwarf Fortress Joke, and that making such a joke can actively cause a woman's entire reproductive system to dry out and seal shut until at a safe distance from the offending statement.

I bet he thinks he is an engineer becuase he's really good at minecraft. Though there was a time where goons would recomend Dwarf Fortress no matter what someone was looking for; "I am looking for a sci-fi mech game with an diablo style look system and an open world" "Oh Dwarf Fortress!"

AlbieQuirky posted:

And they found an actress of German decent that looks kind of Asian. But the issue here is that Chinese was said by the cast a lot and there was a lot of Chinese style decorations and other cultural motifs everywhere, it just feels weird that they took that particular culture and just ignored the actual people who have that culture. It would be different if they had future space culture have aspects of everything, but its specifically the old west and China. Anyways, this isn't the place to discuses this, I just brought it up as a aspect of the AUG of the fandom. It's almost like a cult, with dumber hats.

I like the idea that someone's entire life is about jerking off to images of people being swallowed up by assholes. Though I can't imagine that anal vore can be the subject of any deep conversation outside of "it's it hot that butt ate that woman?".

Is it time to go back to making fun of people with medical conditions yet?

I didn't think you were being racist, I can't date redheads because they all end up reminding me of my sister or old photos of my mother.

e: at the risk of springing a trap, there's a bunch of Chinese stuff in Firefly because China ended up becoming the dominant country on earth so their culture permeated everything.

You're right. I think people have mostly been saying that, given that exact aspect of the plot, they expected Asians to play a larger role in the main cast.
