It's called Mainstream media
The worst instances of toxic masculinity I've ever received has been from women.
The worst thing is when someone who is a skeptic but still says like "I don't like North Korea but a lot of the stories they tell about it are made up" and not once do they think "What even are the reasons I don't like DPRK, and how many of them are made up?"
Like, they reject the propaganda but still come to the same conclusion the propaganda wanted them to reach anyway.
I like Taris a hell of a lot more than Peragus. At least there's quests and such on Taris, a bit of variety.
The DS9 episode was Badda-Bing Badda-Bang and it was Vic Fontaine's 1950s Vegas casino.
I always liked that moment as you said because it is someone acknowledging the problem created with historical programs in a world that has moved passed that history.
I like that Yates' counter-argument is that it might be nice to experience history as it should have been, rather than how it really was.
I don't really come down on either side but it's an interesting way to look at it.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was Avery Brooks who asked for the scene tbh. He was often vocally critical of some choices because he didn't want to be just another black character they were they often written. It's why he liked his relationship with Jake Sisko so much.
On a related note, the episode If Wishes Were Horses script was changed from a leprechaun into Rumplestiltskin because Colm Meaney objected to the Irish stereotype.
Writing a prescription for this lady's illness. It's a sheet of paper that says "LOG OFF" on it.
Edit - She already covered this, saying that logging off was "digital suicide". Holy shit. This is actually posting yourself into mental illness.
I'm not even joking. I genuinely think she should seek help because this is not a healthy way for someone to think. This is why you should genuinely "log off" lest your brain becomes wormed.
I always liked the Plinkett review of Crystal Skull for this reason. Stoklasa points out that both sides were doing what they believed would allow their ideology to win out in the Cold War.
He points out that the Soviet's actions in the movie basically mirror the American's, especially when Indiana Jones is actually harassed by the FBI for allegedly being a spy.
He points out that the scariness of a an alien mind control device is kind of lessened when one of the first things we see in the film is a America's superweapon; an atomic bomb.
The lack of real conflict and consequences hurts the movie.
There's also something of a "fuck you" about Americans making a film about the Soviets doing mind control doing the Cold War.
What part of "no excuses for the terror" is difficult to understand?
Anti-Chapo people once again proving themselves to be one of the most deranged segments of Twitter.
Most of the time they don't even understand what they're trying to say.
Okay, I get that the Stormcloaks are a bit sus, and clearly nationalistic but they're not Nazis. I'm just saying, the only side that has random citizens get sent to camps and prisons are the Empire.
They even let you join if you're a non-Nord so long as you respect their customs. And Ulfric himself is smart enough to not spark a race war in his city despite a huge population of Dunmer and Argonians.
Not to say they're good but more that they're just sort of a weird ideology and can't be reduced to "they're Nazis".
The actual Nazis though, the Thalmor, are given free reign to harass, torture and murder innocent civilians by the Empire. The Empire wags their finger but ultimately cave to their every whim. Several religious individuals go missing after an Imperial victory and are not seen again.
Despite their victories over the Thalmor they decided the war was too costly to their core regions and caved to grossly imbalanced demands. Hammerfell didn't cave and managed to win against them despite the whole-ass empire claiming they can't. Weird that.
Going past that the Empire are also horrid racists themselves. The moment they're given access to the holy Island of Vvardenfell they immediately plunder its resources and attempt to convert the locals to their own religion. Then, despite their membership in the Empire, the people of Morrowind are given no aid when the Oblivion crisis occurs and are left to defend for themselves. The Empire actively pulls legions out of Morrowind back into Cyrodiil during this crisis. Then the Red Year occurs and the Empire gifts Solstheim to the Dunmer... Oh wait no. That was actually the King of Skyrim. Weird that.
The Stormcloak holds of Riften and Windhelm even have accepted and integrated refugees from Morrowind as well.
tl:;dr Despite their reputation, the Stormcloak are not only less horrid than the Empire, but are honestly less xenophobic than most other of the provinces, despite some of their shortcomings.
This is one of those things that's just unknown and vague enough that it can't be cringe.
If someone asks you what it is you can just say "oh it's a cute bear cos I like them" .
