And if they did eventually put a white straight person in? I'm sure it would be a single mom dating a black guy or something.
Seriously, I get its more about demographics and money with these companies but do just a bit better.
It was an "icky" thing the nice straight white folks didn't talk about. It was an "immoral" ailment that surprise surprise was only a concern for junkies (who were always portrayed as brown), and gays.
And yes that perception has improved. But check out these HIV drug commercials. No white heteros
Younger folks might not remember, but it wasn't that long ago you couldn't even express support for treating HIV as a serious disease without a significant number of mostly straight white folks assuming you must have it, and be secretly gay or whatever.
Well, I finally found a thing that bothers me when they have no straight white couples in it.
HIV drug commercials.
Nothing but gay guys and brown folks. And I suspect its ad companies feel safest pushing an outdated narrative about who "irresponsibly" or "immorally" gets it.
"Send your kids to the Middle East. If they die, you're just protecting America!"
"Yay! You tell em! (Starts pushing their least favorite kid to enlist)"
Look I know that MAGA doesn't really give a fuck about dead soldiers and kids but this recent "your death is just a thing, deal!" tactic is just weird.
I'd almost appreciate the honesty but it's weird. Like they're just completely abandoning all pretense and not even acknowledging that.
Nobody with any sense is mad if the troops got high class meals. We just don't believe Drinky McNazi is competent and ethical enough to buy steaks and such without padding his pocket or "losing" some stuff.
He sounds scared. Like you can seriously hear it.
You deserve your feedback to be exactly as big as you and who agree with you are. If that turns out to be 15 mad racists in a Denny's? Well, than that's what companies should react to, not the small nation state you used bots to simulate.
Not hard to understand. And yet here we are.
Saw a random dude defending review bombing because "they don't listen without it! We aren't big enough to convince companies to change stuff without it!"
Huh. It's like running up and impaling yourself on the point.
"They're" my autocorrect was apparently drunk.
Of course the second most effective form of birth control in the US is our collective socioeconomic situation. Shit pay, rampant health care costs, education costs like whoa, housing is just...yeah.
I'm not saying no one should raise a child in this world but its not weird folks don't.
"It's so hard!"
Nope. Idiots pop out kids all the time. Doing it right might be hard, but that's true of a lot of things. You're not automatically some elite group because you had a kid. Or even raised one to not be a serial killer or something. Lots of folks do. Its not special, its a norm.
As in people who are frankly probably not great telling on themselves by claiming they were forced to adopt decent behaviors and morals out of fear of being labeled by their peers as "wrong." Instead of just not wanting to do bad stuff...like the rest of us losers, I guess.
"How can you be so selfish?"
John Cena holds the world's record for Make a Wish requests. By a lot. He doesn't want kids, but he's done more for kids than you, smug parent online.
These are the "why don't you rape and murder all the time if you aren't religious" comments of child raising.
Some notes:
"Kids make you compassionate, giving, and wise!"
I worked child services. I can say with authority they do not.
Also who kills the most kids? Parents.
Who whines the most and will even change jobs or hide to avoid paying support? Parents.
I am reasonably sure people commenting on an interview with someone saying they don't have or want kids is the most effective form of birth control.
Not sure why my phone added "ml" perhaps the sketch was measured in mililiters for some reason.
I don't want to drag the artist too hard. But pros should check themselves a bit before they start giving others grief.
My thoughts...
"That is a really tiny head and a long torso."
"Uh I don't think butts do that. Especially not in pants."
"Is that a 9 pack?"
So yeah, that'll show that dude showing his old sketch without being a "pro."
Lol, amateur guy posts an old sketch from a character he came up with. He's talking about the character idea and not really the art ml. Pro comic artist comes in and tells him he needs serious help with his anatomy. That's all he says other than to say he's a pro.
So I checked out the pro's page...
You too!
And I look forward to face Dom. He'll be great as one... when he actually acts like and becomes one. Instead he's calling out and blaming the guy who told him "I'm not helping you cheat, win the match clean." That's not a character who wins clean.
You said there was no reason. Those are all reasons. You didn't say "I need reasons I love and am excited about."
And Penta lost to Dom due to cheating. He's literally "Dirty Dom". He has "El Sucio" on his gear. You don't have to like it of course, but he's what it says on the labels.
Reason 1: Penta is absolutely worthy of being a champ who is over with the fans. Reason 2: Weasely heel Dom didn't have anyone to help him cheat. Reason 3: Dom was cursed.
Any of those reasons work given it's wrestling.
Sigh. Seems like it's time to remind folks why you do not want Trump funded politicians in your area it seems like some of the shittier PACs and Dem candidates are trying to tank some rivals with these claims regardless of accuracy. So you gotta research it yourself. And like really research it.
They did a really good job with him yeah.
Like sure, there's probably some comicsgate chud who could gotcha me with issue numbers (never been good with them) but as soon as stories and characters are in play? They should run off and let the adults talk.
But they rarely do. More's the pity.
This thread is also a reminder that the woke whine gatekeepers are know little dumbasses. You want to know stuff? Just read the comics or ask a real expert. You'll know us because we aren't defined by constant bitching and we're happy to talk to folks about the stuff we know and love.
And yeah, the albinism did make him iconic in a way he might not otherwise be. That's a discussion to be had.
But "oh they made the white guy black!" whining is just wrong. Lonnie Lincoln was always a black guy from Harlem.
