Idk what the fuck is wrong with people

[–] hansl@lemmy.ml 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lack of exposure, poor education and indoctrination, mostly.

and it just feels good to feel like youre better than other people for something innate. especially if youre a pathetic loser with no accomplishments in life. bigotry is a cheap way to feel good about yourself.

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean that's why they fight so hard against actually talking about history. Because then it hollows out what little they can brag about and exposes the privilege they had with the rest.

That comment from yesterday with Hitler malding about Himmler excavating and preserving prehistoric German mudhuts was chefs-kiss. Text of the image:

Himmler had scientists undertake excavations of prehistoric sites. Hitler commented:

Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past? It isn't enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts and enthusing over every potsherd and stone axe he finds. All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture. We really should do our best to keep quiet about this past. Instead Himmler is making a great fuss about it all. The present-day Romans must be having a laugh at these revelations.

Some things never change.

Maybe Germania wouldn't have been so bad without Hitler's vaunted Romans marching in and kicking them in the dick and enslaving them every time some senator or Caesar's failson needed to prove himself.

I mean, stone technology people built some pretty elaborate stuff, like networks of fish traps in coastal Australia, outrigger canoes in Polynesia that brought people to places as distant from their origin as Madagascar and Hawaii. Or Stonehenge if it must be whitey doing it. Goddamn the OG nazis were fuckin' insecure.

Kinda stupid too because the Germanic tribes were Rome's go-to for mercenaries. They were extremely well respected warriors during Roman expansion.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Good point, I forgot about that. Roman history isn't my forte, thanks for bringing that up.

This isn't even supposed to be the "Pokemon World", it's an animated series about kids playing the trading card game

So, this guy isn't just racist, he's a fake Pokemon fan!

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's pretty consistent that almost all of the bigots who spout this nonsense don't care about the piece of media they're complaining about. Some don't even know anything about the games/shows/movies they complain about and then complain about wokism when they see a screenshot.

I mean it makes sense why that is. It never was about the love or appreciation about a piece of fiction. If you're looking at Pokemon as a way to escape black and brown people, you never really cared about Pokemon.

I just hate that these shitheads invade fan communities and drown out valid criticism with their woke agenda.

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Link to the first episode. Pretty cute!

It's really frustrating they don't have closed captions available, though. I find it so strange that many videos put out by big corporations have the auto CC disabled but don't provide their own, making them consistently less accessible than videos put out by individuals (many of whom also go through the trouble of providing high-quality manual captions)...it's just a big middle finger to HoH/Deaf people. I can understand not wanting to lean on auto subs if they say something weird that will reflect negatively on your brand or w/e, but professional closed captioning would be a rounding error for any of these professional productions. We really ought to expand the regulations to capture this kind of streaming-only content.

There's always been black and brown characters in Pokémon, this scumbag isn't even a fan he's just a racist

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Can't the sheeple just fuck off and play their Call of Duty? Normie scum can have their containment games as long as they leave the few non-dipshits in peace.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

Muh glorious nippon fantasy world of h'wite people. Shut the fuck up chud.

[–] HighOnCopium@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

least racist EU flag in name haver

[–] YaaAsantewaa@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

There's lots of Brown and Black people in Spain, no idea what they're complaining about, the cartoon should appeal to them

[–] MarxFuryRoad@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh fuck, of course he has a spanish and EU flag om the username. As a spaniard, those people are the scum of the earth.

TFW variety in skin pigmentation turns your utopia into hell 😔

Lol racists are such fragile and pathetic losers

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

White people aren’t real.

They’re just normal people with light skin and many demons

[–] PetrusHyde@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago

As a fellow Spaniard, I hope that guy is trolling.

I wish this guy could hurry up and find another perfect world to escape to. I don't want him in this world anymore.

Charlemagne should have lost at Tours

It's a reference to this. Still kinda racist though.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

The Pokémon word was a perfect when it was just animal gods and their cults openly battling in the streets to flood/burn the world. Why did woke people have to show up and ruin this utopia

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

My question is who the fuck these animators think they are, disney, pixar, Gravity Falls? If they wanted to use cartoon style animation why not use images from the cartoon animation of the IP (with POC, that isn't the issue, the issue is artstyle changes lol).

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Homie doesnt deserve that Ichabod PFP, my lanky cartoon homie would never

The sad and corrupted weeb-mind falls to obscured fantasy.
