Oh no, you might have to flick your thumb a couple times to scroll past a longer quote

perhaps lowtax should instate a character limit for posts. 140 seems reasonable

I think I assumed your complaint was the same as those from another thread where people were whining about quoted articles, so my bad.

It just occurred to me that, like the world of free-to-play games, the SA forums have a small subset of users who spend a disproportionate amount of money on the product, or "whales."

Lowtax invented microtransactions. :aaa:

I'm probably gonna get laughed at for agreeing to the basics of this post, but I do. GBS became the worst forum for a long time and it's only recently returning to a readable state, and even then every other thread is white noise garbage that should be gassed.

I still can't get over how he makes such a point about making sure everyone knows he's married by fiddling with his ring in his twitter avatar.

Yeah and it eventually became like, EVERY GAME, the same half-dozen idiots would tear their clothes off, eat everything in sight, and giggle while making GBS threads everywhere, smearing the poo poo all over themselves or others, and chasing down everyone not interested in their coprophilia to tackle them, butter them liberally with poo poo, and forcefeed them poo poo until they threw up.

You’re right; I am a foreigner that knows about ingrained cultural racism in Japan. Arguably I know more about it than most Japanese becuse I’ve experienced to some extent all sides of the equation, being treated as Japanese in some areas and deeply understanding the culture, while in other contexts been victim of it.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:

Solaire is working by his bonfire when he hears the booming voice of Darkstalker Kaathe from below: “Solaire, sacrifice your souls. Entrust thy flesh to me.” He ignores it. It goes on for days. “Solaire, sacrifice your souls. Entrust thy flesh to me.” After weeks of this, he relents, selling his souls. Darkstalker Kaathe says, "Solaire, go to New Londo.” He asks why. “Solaire, take thy souls to New Londo.” He obeys, goes to New Londo. Kaathe says, “Solaire, go to the deepest well of The Abyss and throw all of yours souls down into its infinite depths.” Solaire hesitates but knows he must. He's commanded by one of the Primordial Serpents, after all. The depths are the deepest blackness. “Solaire, sacrifice thy souls.” Why? The Abyss— “Sacrifice thy souls!” He demands something of Darkstalker Kaathe--to tell him if Ceaseless Discharge is an allegory for anything; he dumps some souls into the Abyss as he does so. He breathes easy. “Solaire, sacrifice all of thy souls.” What? “SACRIFICE ALL OF THY SOULS." He asks for another answer: Was the furtive pygmy a midget or a dwarf. Some more souls are sprinkled into the well. “Solaire, sacrifice thy souls,” the voice of Darkstalker Kaathe commands. I only have a million left! Solaire shouts. “SACRIFICE THY SOULS!” booms the voice. One more question, Solaire suggests, sprinkling more souls. The booming voice of Darkstalker Kaathe goes: “Hit your dick with a hammer, if you still have your foreskin it'll bounce off like it's made of stone."

Bell curves and all that. When you have literal billions of people you can find adult humans that just kind of...ended up that tiny. Sometimes the body just gets to 4'10" and 90 pounds and goes "alright, I'm done." Under normal circumstances yes a fully grown person shouldn't be all that tiny but it's really the opposite end from the people that grow over 7' tall.

My guess is that they also picked the tallest black guy performers they could find and then did some camera angle tricks to make them look even bigger. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were a bunch of like 6'3" guys that were standing on boxes behind her. She's also sitting cross-legged so she looks smaller than she is.

edit: Looking closer the dudes are also leaning forward which makes it look like they're looming. Your brain just kind of registers that as them being bigger than they actually are. The dude farthest to the right isn't leaning and is the biggest so you kind of just assume the rest of them are also that big.

The native american skins Pharah had though, those were rightfully an issue, until Blizzard went "Pharah is part native American on her father's side"
