and now that I am finally back, let us resume the review of my grievances

The dude literally kept notes while "on break"

Have a few things I've been wanting to discuss so wrote it down.

[Boredfrom]

Not caring about “gambler” addicts is ableism? I put gambler in “” because is usually just complaining about gacha slop and the actual whales are high income idiots that waste their money in to get their waifu at Rank 06. Those include ERA, a lot of them bragging about getting 6 copies of Miyabi in ZZZ

Honestly, John, you were the best part of TFA and will argue you worked better as main character than Rey. So dunno why you are blaming fans about the studio and Rian Johnson decision of making you comic relief .  

Doesn’t mean there is no “problematic” fans that were relieved that you got paired with Rose while Rey gets to hang out with discount Vader.

Funny how B-Dubs gets away with the n-word but now RE pretends to be seriously upset by some Korean girls who sang the n-word more than 10 years ago in privacy

 Slayven bitching about a Korean singer not knowing about western racial slurs and their context in music. 

Also, being okay with data leaks as long he can bitch about perceived racists.

I'm going to guess tht "back from a break" is Echo's way of saying everybody ignored his dumb alt

Is really stupid because Slayven himself knows that East Asian people use english because it “sounds cool”, rather than they knowing the “intricacies” of western identity politics. 

damn already "they the lyrics" defense

To their defense, they waited like 6 posts before doing it. That's some exceptional restraint.

Hey guys, if you like to feel victimized by random Asian people at the other side of the world for something done 10 years ago, be my guest… but I thought there were more pressing matters in the U.S. to deal and discuss with than bitching about Korean music.

No one is mad there. doesn't change the fact that the posters defense is dumb as hell.

For full force ResetEra irony, we need Kyuuji to come in and call her a cunt too. 

[Boredfrom]

Not a fan, don't even know who these people are. I'm just a bit tired of being enraged by everything. If they wrote their own songs and added the n-word then yeah, it would be more upsetting to me personally.

You could always not engage the topic if you're tired of it. Like, look out for yourself and not these people you don't know saying the N word on camera with the explicit approval of everyone around them.

You assholes just trivialize actual racism. Your president is an actual racist that blamed a plane crash to DEI and views the world in the lens of a very stupid and incompetent medieval king, but somehow is worthwhile to bitch about random Koreans stars using the N-word in private while singing. 

 True, and I avoid it when I sing rap lyrics, but apparently they don't. So let's move on?

 move on from what, you pretending it's not a big deal?

 

Yes, is not a big deal, specially in countries where they are not at the mercy of western identity politics.

[Boredfrom]

I love how people censor themselves all day, every day, in every walk of life, but suddenly it's rap lyrics and they lose all sense of reason and cannot fathom how to possibly karaoke to Dr Dre

Ninja Scooter, drop the act. BCT is never going to get its power back, specially since Nepenthe  is going commie to explain her racism. 

it's very very easy for me not to say it when im singing along to songs i like
but personally i just never have had the inclination to ever use it

Is that bar so high for these people?

You know, to not be a piece of shit?

Who am i kidding

“I’m better than a random Korean girl”

[DavidCroquet]

I do like the increasingly common post genre of “welp, looks like we’re already getting the “x” defense!”

So fun and easy, anyone can enjoy it!

Uh oh, they’re trottin’ out the old “right to choose” canard again.
How soon til someone starts spouting off about “bodily autonomy”?  
Wow, that has to be the new record for fastest mention of “muh dysphoria”!

Okay, tell me why people should “discuss” that a random Korean pop star used the Nword 10 years ago?

[Boredfrom]

Reminds me of the video FD Signifier did a few years ago on the amount of black culture in modern K-pop.
Just like him, I'm not sure if it's racist but it definitely seems insensitive.

No shit it is insensitive… but you guys understand why is insensitive and not malicious to bitch about “stealing culture”

 There have been K-pop groups that braid their hair and copy the fashion of Black women down to the jewelry. I still remember back in like 2018 when that one boy group wore Crip clothing for a music video. Wild this doesn't seem to get brought up much.

Anyway, let’s talk about Yosuke and why is so cool to have a black samurai. 

Unsurprising, unfortunately. Too many instances of artists loving to hawk the products of black culture while hating the culture itself, and K-Pop as a genre is full of it.

Nice Boondocks avatar.

Get these fucking hair-braiding pieces of shit.  Get them!!

[SplendorOfStink]

WuTang Clan is OK, though, right? Chinese are honorary whites?

[HaughtyFrank]

It's so, so fucking easy to just not say it. It's one fucking word. You have to be completely morally bankrupt and self-absorbed to the core to still do it, and yet…

They were like 16 year old girls auditioning. They probably didn't even pick the song.

For a forum that loves to talk intersectionality they seem to have no idea that Korean girl would grow up in a completely different environment. To them its just lyrics

Hey, remember when Jaime Fox needed to apologize because he said something that people could take it as antisemitism because he had no idea of the Jewish/Christian context of “those that sold Jesus Christ”.

How many people that are bitching about this are the same that said “he didn’t needed to apologize” ?

Is funny because that avatar is from a Korean game appropriating Japanese anime tropes and contexts, most of the cast have Japanese names.  

But somehow, no one seems to give a fuck.

I just wanna say that I suggested a ban on discussion of this game here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/constructive-community-discussion-2024.859116/post-134856642

Hopefully if enough people feel the same way I do, the powers that be might forbid discussion of this game. It bothered me so much even before they announced the playable rapist.

If you really think Ronaldo is a rapist, surely having him as a playable (and bashable) character in a fighting game is a good thing. Set the fucker in easy mode and go to town.

[Propagandhim]

We know. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge (the Royal kpop) y'all fucked up and then maybe do something to help the folks you love to appropriate so much from? At least bring em along for the ride if you're gonna be a culture vulture, fuck sake

The culture appropriation of black culture in kpop is such a problem... It's one of the reasons I don't listen to kpop as much anymore. I appreciate the korean artists that actually collaborate with and lift up black talent.

It's theirs now.  Mwahahahah.  They STOLE the culture and are reaping all the rewards.  It's theirs now, bitches.  The black people who invented it all get NOTHING and the Koreans get it ALL.  ALL DONE.  The culture bank has been robbed, motherfucker.  And there's no way to steal it back.  Because when black people play classical music or EDM or play virtually any instrument that their collective nation of black people didnt invent it a) isn't appropriation, it's just sharing or b) was them that invented it the whole time.  We can't SHARE our way out of being robbed and if we invented everything anyway we are always getting stolen from.  We're always in a lose-lose situation here in the global south

This stuff always feels so vague. Like who are we even talking about? And is the assumption that K-pop steals from the small black artists? Wouldn't logic dictate that it's the ones who are already big? Cool, let's do a tour with Beyonce (if she lets us) now we're giving back

https://www.resetera.com/threads/who-is-your-favorite-founding-father-of-the-us.1149546/

Now that we are on the US' Death Bed who are your favorite US historical figures or founding Fathers?

To me it always been a toss up between Ulysses S Grant, Sherman and Alexander Hamilton

Ulysses S Grant and Sherman were both an integral part during the US Civil War

But I think the US would not have become the superpower that it did without Hamilton's influence

Another  thread. It's got Kunty posting cartoon trans pics of founding fathers too. Kunty is the type of guy that would have that shit on his PC ready to post at the drop of a hat.

Messy bonus

Who's your favourite coloniser? What a wild question!

Messo complaining about colonisers while taking full advantage of the colonised land himself. Go back to where you came from!

[books]

I'm boycotting Fatal Fury because I recently bought KOF XV and that means the nonexistent players will be moving to the new game. (Same thing happened when i boight Samurai Showdown. Never got to play online even once) Siuuuuuuuuuuu(cum).

The easy insult was right there, just call the old powder wigs slave owners. Colonizers is too messy considering a lot of them were born in America and literally rose up against a colonial power

I, personally, would like to know when the collective nation of black Americans will pay my people reparations for appropriating Greek culture? 

Zeus was the original absentee father. Black Guys just saw that and borrowed without understanding the cultural significance of abandoning your children and running off with another woman. And there they are, reaping the rewards of this cultural appropriation without even giving credit. At least bring Greek people along for the ride if you're gonna be a culture vulture, fuck sake

Speaking of cultural appropriation, when are black women gonna stop appropriating other women's hair? 

Since when did African women have straight hair?
