"We HATE furries. We like anthropomorphic animals! It's nothing like furry culture at all!!"
:visible-disgust: They are truly lost, there can be no rehabilitation.
Lol TIL I guess this is the most fash thing about me bc I prefer dubs :big-cool:
dubs can be fine if they’re done well, but that is so rare. Like Cowboy BeBop has a phenom dub and some fans still dunk on it.
oh for sure, I hadn’t really thought about dubs being good for a background show
Always liked the Hellsing dub for doing accents, especially the Nazis with ze comical German accentz. The Japanese dub is really good too though so :shrug-outta-hecks:
Fun story is dubbing has two roots. One is in making film accessible to illiterate masses, which is good.
The other is entirely fash.
Dubbing is a brilliant tool for film censorship. Sound films began to appear in the early 1930s, a time when many countries were falling under the sway of totalitarian regimes. In Europe, these included those of Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco and the Nazis. Censorship had been a feature of film production and distribution in Italy, Spain and Germany since before these dictatorships took power, but it increased markedly after they did so.

VA's of other nationalities can't hold a candle to the agonized screaming of Japanese VA'S.
I looked through a few of their other communities and found this:
Feminism
A community to speak against the greatest threat to our world, feminism. Jokes and memes are allowed, but can be removed under Rule 8 : Forum Sliding if they are drowning out useful information.
also
flatearthresearch
A community for earnest students to engage in and learn about flat earth research. A haven for rational discourse and criticism.
Surprised American right wingers haven't opened up to feminism a bit more as an alliance with terfs. Seems like that's where the British reactionaries and TERFs are headed.
American chuds are still largely unaware of what a terf is.
To American chuds, trans woman = man, and terf = woman who hates trans woman, so terf is woman who hate man and so is feministm so chud hate terf bc woman hate man woman man grr mad
yeah I was gonna say, they don't currently link up for a few reasons. American chuds see trans women as some kind of lesser version of a man, while terfs see them as some kind of invading force to destroy the concept of womanhood. Chuds don't give a shit about protecting femininity or female spaces or whatever(neither do terfs though honestly)
I've had a hypothesis that British chuds get along with terfs more easily because of some weird oepidal relationship to the queen, but I might have to break out the Deleuze and Guattari for that one
the american right has spent 30+ years making anti-feminism a personality trait lol
They don't have to. The TERFs will come to them no matter how openly misogynistic and anti-feminist they act. When the beginning and end of your ideology is "protect [our] women and girls!" the bar is low enough for the right to walk over it without even noticing.
I don't think American transphobia needs ex-feminist boomers for support. A main reason TERFs are so big in the UK is that they're needed as an inroad into mainstream discourse. The US is reactionary enough that it can do without placing such a trojan horse in feminist and lesbian communities.
Conservative women define themselves in opposition to feminism, like its the Yankees and they're all Red Sox fans.
Aligning with TERFs only works when you can claim feminism created trans women and you're doing some "going your own way" clout chase bullshit.
Is that when a forum about a thing becomes about a different thing? Or is it more specific
A determined minority can control internet discourse by essentially spamming and bumping low effort threads and pushing relevant content off the front page. It's (supposedly) a technique that Stormfront consciously employed to pull 4chan right. Works particularly well on sites with chronological ordering. Irrelevant on reddit since low-effort posts are going to be upvoted anyway.
unique country and culture built by free white men
Can someone please explain white american culture to me cuz like
What is there lol
uh... really big pickup trucks... the NYPD... golf... wristwatches the size of grandfather clocks... muscle cars... hotdogs... and thinking that "jobs" somehow have intrinsic value.
Huh the only "watch guy" i know is a black guy I work with, is it more often a white dude thing?
maybe not. I was just kinda spitballing. but in my head, when I picture someone with camo, a hunting knife, work boots, and a watch so big it would make a sundial blush, I picture a white dude.
not so much "watch people" as the "tacticool" thing, if that makes sense?
Evil Hexbear be like: OctEagle, a right-wing antisocial platform centered around building individuality through monologues, high-effort memes, and withholding content. Mascot is, of course, an eagle shaped like an octagon.
Now you've got me wondering what the minimum amount of surface area necessary to make a vaguely recognizeable eagle silhouette is...
They spam a picture of a huge turd with two little pigs on the end of it.
Why do they have a sub for specifically this one town lol?! Is Ann Arbor just extremely fash or…?
my head canon is one dude got banned from the town’s subreddit and is just tantruming in a corner
Ann Arbor is probably one of the most pure concentrations of liberalism. This is in large part due to the university of Michigan - it is a college town after all. So I imagine someone got triggered by some performative action and made a sub. Ann Arbor used to be cool - the weather underground started there apparently :sicko-no:
'MURICA GOOD' I scream out the window of my 2019 GMC Sierra Denali at confused people on the sidewalk
It's just an arbor, Michigan, how much could it possibly cost, five dollars?
What happened to leftism in Ann Arbor is just tragic
The weather underground was founded there and the White Panthers were primarily active there. John Sinclair was sentenced to 10 years for having two joints (feds were illegally surveilling him ofc) so at a UMich arena there was a Freedom Rally.
John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Bob Seger, Yoko Ono, and Phil Ochs performed
They had Ginsburg, Bobby Seale, and a member of the Chicago seven speak
(Also, not saying this is leftist, but an Ann Arbor student in the 90's started a cathinone "epidemic" in Michigan which he defended arguing it decreased the violent, cartel-based cocaine business )
What it is now can probably best be captured by the opening of this comedy skit Latin Pop Star, White Audience
I feel like the Anthro community is driving away all the far-right furries. Seems self-defeating.
I've been asking myself that for over 10 years. I think, just from internet osmosis, furries are just humans with animal aesthetics. But anthros have like a whole primitivist/tribal thing going on, and the more realistically you can render the art to look like some anthropological museum piece the more clout you get. Furries, on the other hand, love stylization and variety.
Haha they have an anime sub specifically for people who don't read so good
“subtitles are hard” says the NT chud who hates hearing other languages
Is there also a femboy sub that has GAYS ARE ICKY in the sidebar
