Hey everyone, there's something that's still bothering my mind and I need to expose a said person:
This person is one reason why the YGO community causes me so much distress. Completely ignored and downplayed my awful experience to defend themselves.
I didn't realize mass poverty, hunger, severe increase in crime, and the fact that women with phds and CHILDREN had to be forced into sex work just to survive is a great thing.
The USSR collapse was one of the most disastrous things to happen to humanity.
@darlingube
It's like the most consumerist place in the world. As awful as Japan is with their imperial history and being a pawn of the US, at least japanese shame you for being very greedy and materialistic. While china is actively trying to ban flaunting wealth.
I had a suicidal patient brought in against her will. She was suicidal because of financial issues. She asked me if she would get a bill for her forced hospitalization, which is the case. She will likely be billed thousands of dollars. That’s American healthcare for you.

You're actually using the term East Turkestan which was coined by religious extremists in the region and believing in a "genocide" that's propagated by far right wingers?
@darlingube
I do want to note there are individual Chinese Capitalists who are exploiting African countries BECAUSE they realize the CPC doesn't have jurisdiction over them anymore. But that isn't a China issue, that's just greedy Capitalists. CPC backed projects have been excellent.

Beef consumption has literally no effect. It's all about proper nutrition, rest, and exercise. East Asian diets are far healthier so that gives East Asians the inherent advantage.

Why am I not surprised you're a YGO fan as well... Please leave the VGC community and hang out with your reactionary YGO group.

I'm on the opposite spectrum, I'm considered fine by BMI, maybe even underweight, but I'm skinny everywhere but a massive belly for some god damn reason.

I mean China is overally doing very well especially domestically. Most issues of theirs are in their foreign policy which is still well above and beyond better than the West.
@NiMingda_GG
Most Japanese don't care though? And the African Samurai isn't historically inaccurate at all. It's based off an actual person Now I'm not going to say everything that happens in the game is historically accurate, because duh. But the character is real.
@WhatAre89137327
It's not even being criminalized. A bill is being passed by reactionary folks, but it still needs to be approved by Traore himself. And yeah at the end of the day it just shows how harmful pinkwashing is.
Please take the Palestine flag out of your bio lib and you're literally parroting misinformation to begin with since GRS is already illegal for kids. FFS I hate libs so much.
@thebiglead69
I'm a huge supporter of the Uighur people and their rights to their own culture and identity. Which is why I support what the CPC has done for the region of Xinjiang and am against the terrorist movement known as the East Turkestan Independence Movement.

@kgleeb
I have mixed feelings about Mulvaney overall, but there's legitimately constructive criticism towards people like her and then there's just clear transphobia. For the record both her song and Katy Perry's California Girls are cringe and promote consumerism, no thank you.
@GrandLineGuru
@zukosmadre
So that just means you're going to vote for a candidate that says "Fuck Palestine" just to care about your own personal rights (Which keep in mind project 2025 is already happening under the Dems)? If you truly believe voting matters, vote for an independent to pressure Dems.
@KrebsVGC
it depends on context entirely. Yeah in that scenario the misses mattered a lot. But I've definitely come across more games where the player that got worse rng still played worse than vice versa. Likewise, positioning also matters a ton. Beyond all that, teambuilding is a big one
@MichaelderBeste
There's more mindgames to Hilligant yes, but isn't vgc in general all about mind games? Outside of getting extremely unlucky with sleep powder, I still don't feel it's at the same level as the other 3.
I dream of this day. Also make sure Japan apologizes for their past crimes, denounce fascism, and also join in with the group. All East Asian countries should share our common cultural heritage but also celebrate the differences and aim for peace.

My transgal friend who admittedly does have very strong features and is 6'2 went to an ultra conservative town in her province (Caroline, Alberta). She was wearing no makeup, and effectively boymoded. NO one misgendered her. At a pride event on the other hand, everyone did...
If you encourage someone to do sex work, YOU ARE A PREDATOR AND A PIMP FULL STOP! Sex work should be decriminalized and sex workers should get all the support and help available because of how dangerous the work is. But how the fuck are people encouraging others to do sex work?
@beanmaster79
If they do have a trans character I actually hope it's a well written and developed one, rather than just being eye candy, worse yet butt of the joke, or heck even if portrayed positively, but their entire identity is based around being trans and nothing else is a no thanks.

Then you should not support the Ukrainian state even more as their mindset is "fight to the last men" and they oppose every possible ceasefire opportunity given by Russia. Ukrainian state have also been genociding Russian speakers in Donbass.
Liberals when the Democrats don't do anything while in office: They're not powerful enough.
Liberals when a Republican is in office: They have emperor Palpatine levels of power and can easily be a dictator...
The Iraq war wouldn’t have happened if Gore won. Roe would not have been overturned if Hillary had won. You all just care more about your very boring political identities than about the sum total of human suffering. It’s stupid and disgusting and I judge you
@darlingube
At least with a place like McDonalds where it's predominantly in poorer neighborhoods with food desserts, I can have sympathize with people not boycotting. Starbucks is entirely an expensive bourgie spot, so not boycotting is just disgusting.
@darlingube
Gulf Arab chauvinists are the worse. It's good they support Palestine, but you bring up what's going on in Sudan and they act like the Sudanese people deserve it and it's their fault...
@Rocko64_
I do want to say while radlib vegans are shit, it is important to be exceptionally critical about the destructive practices of factory farming and the lobbying party tbeh have. Likewise, if you're privileged enough to live a comfortable life, try to reduce meat consumption.
This is something so many people don't understand. Most people in South Vietnam welcomed those from the North Vietnam Army. Most people that escaped from South Vietnam were labour aristocrats, petite Bourgeois, and actual Bourgeois.
Facing little resistance from the demoralized enemy, the soldiers and tanks of the Liberation Front entered Saigon, enthusiastically greeted by the city’s population. In a hurry, the US’ last representatives fled via their embassy’s roof.

Well Ukraine is supported by irl folks aka people who do have power, while Palestine receives little to no support. Also more than half the internet hates Palestine thanks to crazy Zionists running rampant. Whereas at least even unaware leftists support Ukraine.

If you actually care about Uighur people, you would be against the propaganda being spread regarding the lies in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has seen fantastic growth and a massive reduction in terrorism thanks to the efforts of the CPC in the region.

@oncloud_e
Because they fucking support Capitalism. If you support Capitalism, you can be the most progressive person on the planet, but you're still right wing. Besides even their progressive facade is fading with what they've been doing regarding immigration, policing, etc.
This is going to be an extremely unpopular opinion, but China is absolutely more of a free country for most people than the United Kingdom. The exceptions would be for people who are reactionary af. But bigots deserve to be silenced and outcasted.

Most so called "genetics" are just having access to better quality healthcare, nutrition, environment, etc. Yes genetics can play a role in many factors, but genetics only really matters for superficial shit like being dominant in specific sports, etc.

@HatokTalk
Well yeah most regions in Pokemon are social democracies, which means what happened to Jessie and James can still occur but at a far lower scale than irl.
You know as much as I fucking hate organized religion and my tyrant of a father, I am actually glad he introduced me to Buddhist music and teachings. Organized Buddhism absolutely has a lot of issues, but I love the culture and teachings overall. Not to mention the music.
I know it was called Saigon back then, but Ho Chi Minh City is the rightful name for it <3 Anyways, massive props to Vietnam for taking on 4 superpowers in the 20th century alone and winning against all of them.
On this day in 1975, the communist Vietnamese People’s Army liberated the Republic of Vietnam’s capital, Saigon, from the anti-communist regime and defeated US imperialism, ending the 20-year-long Vietnam War. 🧵
Hey everyone this is both a positive and somewhat of a vent sort of post, so bare with me.
Well I'm a month clean from Yugioh! It might not seem like the biggest deal to make, but the reality is, I'm glad to be slowly away from that cancerous community and game.

Becauze what if you don't have the time or funds to consistently go to every event? But the ones you do you always finish top 4. That clearly shows you're a skilled player who is hurt by external factors.

IMHO just being a cheater means he should have been allowed to change and improve himself. The fact that he is both a bigot and a cheater is enough to cut him loose.

Japanese nationalists aren't even the main issue. White supremacists are more likely to use the symbol as their "Honorary Aryan" bs than Japanese nationalists who make up a tiny minority.
