People are bafflingly stupid, especially when it comes to race. There was, I recall, a bit of an uproar on social media when the Hunger Games movies came out and a black character was played by a black actress.

To be fair, "jotun" makes more sense when read as "foreigner or something" instead of "giant" (as in "huge person").

The phrases "black crusade against the sun and all things which draw life from it" and "the hated abstract concept of literacy" have stuck with me since - holy poo poo, Helms died in 2008? Who even wrote that thing originally?

"repulsive backwoods celebrity with the curbstomp set" is a great one too.

There was another one that was pretty great but the only phrase I remember is "cargo-cult masculinity" and I googled that and got some misogynistic screed from some idiot blog.

So many of these dudes act like they are in some sort of masculinity cargo cult, where they sort of recognize the traditional signifiers of manhood but are unable to fully grasp or comprehend them so basically the strut around on a fake airstrip with bamboo fedoras hoping that one day Don Draper will be drawn back to their remote island and bestow upon them the secret of sex moves.

Lovecraftian sci-fi in space sounds awesome, though.

Everyone arguing about pronunciation forgets that British English has a lot more regional dialects than you'd think, and in one you would pronounce hovel as "Ee, t'int so grand but's raah'inuf f'rus, coo'nt do nowt wi'bigger."

Yorkshire? :haw:

People often forget that what we think of as a particular regional accent is often a gigantic group of accents and dialects along a spectrum from "says words like 'pillow' and 'there' a bit differently" to "I can't understand a word this motherfucker is saying, is he even speaking English?"

Most Americans know like, two British accents: an exaggerated Cockney stereotype a la My Fair Lady, and ultra-posh RP.

No doubt these ladies would be mistaken for Irish in many parts of the US:

This reads like Google Translate or a dialogue from an ESL textbook for some reason. Also why would two unrelated sports be a canned response? People who like sports know which ones they like. There is no case where somebody asks you what sports you like and you have to use some bullshit answer because you literally do not know how to respond.

Is it really that implausible that tennis and swimming are popular with Chinese sports fans?

Seeing as the next post in that thread was someone linking to an everydayfeminism article to explain why it's actually cool and good to get huffy about someone including chopsticks in their food pictures, I'd rate this a pretty weak burn

"Don't use somebody else's culture as a prop for your lovely food photography" isn't exactly esoteric. It's not even including chopsticks, it's going back afterwards like "oh better put some chopsticks in there, it wouldn't be authentic otherwise" that comes across weird. But no, don't bother reading the extremely easy to understand article.

People in that thread are getting super offended by something as innocuous as "hey try to be a little more respectful" and I just don't get it.

In response to recent controversy regarding how a particular scene in Last tango in Paris involved Marlon Brando actually, literally raping Maria Schneider on camera

I think you misread the article. He didn't actually, literally rape her. He forced her into acting a fake rape scene that he had not discussed with her beforehand because he wanted to provoke a genuine reaction, which is still loving gross and wrong but no, Marlon Brando did not actually anally rape an actress on camera.

As a squeamish lover of Ulysses I just ignore the letters. If legions of Lovecraft nerds can ignore his racism, I can ignore Joyce's kinks. The worst thing in Ulysses is public masturbation.

I think the current thinking with Lovecraft is that his racism was a product of his crazy overprotective mother sheltering him from the outside world and that he kind of got over it in later years and actually married a Jewish woman.

Oddly enough, that same fear of the unknown is what made his writing so good too.

Yeah so Lovecraft was racist as gently caress, I'll admit I was wrong about that.

I still maintain that his ideas of unspeakable horrors from beyond the stars and forbidden knowledge that would break the minds of mortal men were good, even if the execution was often less "things man was not meant to know" and more "unspeakable Congo secrets and savage negro sorceries".
