Something that's really funny about Amnesty caving to JKR's threats of lawsuits is that it shows that literal fascist dictators and corrupt politicians have better things to do with their lives than feel threatened by human rights orgs.

You might think that's bad, but when my older brother built his house, he insisted on having floating stairs leading up to his loft living room. Which technically was an improvement on his first idea, which was a spiral staircase, also without railings. And no, the loft never had railings either.
Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)we need to publicly execute the person or persons responsible for popularizing suspended stairs
When I went to college during the heyday of the 7th gen, opinions like this were treated like witchcraft and heresy among the teachers. It's really no wonder that I became severely burnt out on both games and academia after I graduated lmao.
VGCShigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...
I genuinely can't get over just how stupid it is to call this "orientalist." Taking inspirations from another culture and making something new isn't orientalist. *Misusing* something from another culture or introducing your own wrong ideas into depictions of that culture *is.*
Maeve!"I'm so mad that they're making up a new language for this show that shoved the Four Classical GREEK Elements into an East-Asian-inspired setting." Hey, did you know that the Wuxing has been around for thousands of years and unlike the Four Elements, it's actually ABOUT balance?
Btw, I'm not saying this to trash on ATLA or the new show and movie, both of which I'm excited to watch. I just wanted to add the context that this franchise has never been so "culturally sensitive" that creating a new language is somehow the orientalist straw that broke the sky bison's back.
Maeve!And the creators making up a fake language is so benign in comparison to them butchering Taoist morality and misunderstanding the Wuxing that being upset over it is idiotic. Creating a new language isn't orientalist, you nitwit. The entire franchise has been orientalist from the fucking start.
