Yeah, unless you’re on the approved list of TTG harassers you can get the gently caress out I guess.

It’s still going, they just combined it with the good rpg stories thread because there was very little activity in the latter and the former was getting to the point of utter despair.

Also, I wouldn’t call those groups “non-vocal” as much as being groups consistently denied the means to be broadly vocal about these issues of appropriation. There are absolutely people discussing and writing about the issue with appropriating “spirit animal” as a concept that aren’t white people angry you’re not appropriating correctly.

I’m going to be honest, the reason I didn’t directly link to some examples in my post is because most of the discussion I’ve read about it, like a lot of ‘niche’ minority issues, were in Twitter threads which are good for a lot of people weighting in on an issue but absolute garbage for trying to locate things six months or so after the fact. I can take a poke around but I don’t have anything longform on hand.

What if Johnny Cage had no redeeming character traits is another pretty good summation I think.

I mean, extramarital loving is also a big no-no in most every Christian sect, and I have terrible news about how often people stick with that one. You probably shouldn't jump so fast into the subject if you're self admitting you don't know much about it.

He’s working at VIZ currently as an editor, I believe.

Japan occupied Manchuria in 1931 so depending on your charting that could honestly be a start date for the Second World War as far as China is concerned.

Hang on - Hitler shot himself. So doesn't it follow that to kill Hitler again, Jack Kirby must have been Hitler?

Man, talk about death of the artist.

He shot himself in the same way the younger sibling is hitting themselves.

I don’t think anyone is actually going to convince a person who labeled a black woman getting mad in a way they thought was incorrect as a sociopath but I for one really appreciate the efforts y’all have put in for providing sources.

There's the time he was afraid former BSS mod David Brothers was going to beat him up, which was doubly weird because there wasn't any threats or anything beyond saying "maybe white dudes shouldn't be so comfortable with saying slurs."

Yeah to be clear hermanos’ comments weren’t nearly as blunt or flip as my off the cuff summary. Its just equal parts amusing and telling to me that Piskor’s reaction to the mildest criticism from a PoC also working in comics at the time was “he’s going to beat me up”.
