i didn’t wanna reblog this just cos it doesn’t deserve to get seen but:
a) dwarves don’t share the gender binary that humans use, heterosexual versus homosexual is meaningless to them
b) gnomes have such a predilection towards illusions that gender is primarily based on presentation. because of consistent interaction with humans, they tend towards visually hetero relationships just for sake of public ease but gnomes all know gender is an ilusion
c) halflings are super community oriented. they would be incredibly accepting of homosexuality because frowning on someone for liking a particular gender is counter to community building
d) goblins don’t believe in sexuality they believe in food
e) orcs are 100% butch lesbians and bears. they are totally gay with a small side of being attracted to muscles and soft hairy bellies “but if they’re all gay how do they reproduce?” magic rituals motherfucker it’s a fantasy world
f) tieflings never have a predominant culture and tend to ascribe to human values, with a bit of “i’m already an outcast, so anything goes”. i don’t wanna say tieflings are super gay just because there is a lot of baggage that comes with the evil demon race being super gay but tieflings are super gay
g) dragonborn carry a lot of draconic values, one of the most notable being vanity. if a dragonbron is gay, they will literally be the embodiment of that “move, i’m gay” video. taboo my ass just try to stop that dragonborn, they’ll show you the meaning of flaming
bottom line here is really that if you thought the dnd races were straight you were so wrong. i am going to find you and rub my gay ass on your player’s handbook
These sites will save or sink a film, regardless of quality.
So go out, after you see the film, and give it a honest rating on what you think of it and a short or long review. Do your due diligence because many of you are like “don’t let white people do this or that to the movie” it’s in this area that, if they were so inclined to do so, they could do the most damage.
I have been wanting to make a meme like this for a very long time, I hope you guys like it
listen if you dont think i’m preparing to drop the beat as SOON as that riptire shows its fuckin face then you think im a quitter and buddy, Momma Didn’t Raise No Quitter
I honestly believe the whole “adults require less sleep” thing is honest to god probably a myth created by capitalism
It is.
i honestly believe that sleep deprivation is the biggest ignored/neglected root cause of health dangers that prematurely kill adults
ask me sometime about the role of sleep in the leptin ghrelin cycle and how its interruption destabilizes weight homeostasis
or about the new research showing that heart disease is not caused by fat, like we thought for years, but by inflammation in the circulatory system whose root cause is unknown but one of the prime suspects is, you guessed it, sleep deprivation
but nobody wants to hear that lack of sleep is killing people. employers don’t want to hear it. and god knows that having sold their waking hours to capitalism to survive workers don’t want to lose the only time they have left to them to live their lives, mostly stolen from sleep
i mean even i don’t want to do anything about it and i love sleep, i just love overwatch more
this this this this this
our society places almost zero value on sleep
on enough sleep
on uninterrupted sleep
on regular, predictable, cycling sleep
all the evidence we have suggests sleep is really, really, really important to the processes of the human body, including both mental and physical health, and yet when was the last time you heard somebody suggest that people had a *right* to sufficient, regular sleep?
Reminder that
– Humans are not meant to sleep for extended periods of uninterrupted sleep.
By this I don’t mean “humans shouldn’t have 8+ hours of sleep a night”; I mean that we are supposed to sleep for four to five hours (ish), then get up and do something relaxing like reading for a half hour to an hour, then get another bout of four to five hours. This is what our bodies were designed for.
Sleeping the whole night through was a fad started with the advent of the lightbulb. Sleeping the whole night through is so recent (and artificial) that First Sleep and Second Sleep are mentioned in Dickens’ novels.
– Lack of sleep for even a single night severely compromises your immune system.
If you’re planning on getting little sleep or pulling an all-nighter, make sure to eat lots of fruit and veggies/take vitamins that day. Or even better, get yourself some bee propolis. It’s a natural remedy used for thousands of years in Latin America and is insanely good for boosting up compromised immune systems (if you get the drop kind, put 3 to 4 drops in a spoonful of honey and mix well with a 2nd spoon to mask the strong taste). It has no side effects and is all but impossible to overdose on.
– According to several government bodies around the world, chronic lack of sleep is literally tied for 1st place as the worst kind of torture (the other is solitary isolation)
– Expecting a teen to get up for 8:30 classes is the equivalent of expecting an adult to be at work at 4 am.
After babies, teens are the age group that needs the most amount of sleep. Puberty is exhausting, and the body needs time to recharge. Ideally, a teen should be getting between 10 to 12 hours of sleep at the bare minimum. Most teens are lucky if they manage to get 8. And that’s a gigantic problem; not only does lack of sleep affect mood (which is extra significant when your hormones are already riding a rollercoaster to begin with), but also has massive effects on growth, which is kinda what the whole puberty thing is supposed to be about.
– Humans were not designed to have the same sleep cycle across the species. Much the opposite in fact.
Night owls and morning people are an actual thing. Because we’re pack creatures, Nature came up with a clever way for our ancestors to always have someone on the lookout for predators and threats: make people naturally alert at varying times so that there’s always someone alert to keep watch.
Forcing night owls to follow morning people’s sleep cycle means night owls live with what researchers have referred to as “permanent jetlag”.
Who actually thought this tag line/concept was a good idea?
hi yes what the fuck
Hi, yes, I’ve seen the trailer for this and Snow White is still designed to be very cute, in spite of what is written above. Keep in mind this is a movie by a South Korean studio, in a country where ideals about beauty standards are EXTREMELY skewed in favor of skinny, light skinned, big eyed women, so much so that plastic surgery is a norm for young women who want to get jobs. Also I’m 90% sure that whatever that tagline might have meant originally was lost in translation. I have not had a chance to see this movie, but the story of it is described as being about the princess’s journey of discovering how to love herself and her body, so I’m still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
In the end the problem here is about the cultural clash of marketing ideas, story subtext that works better in a society with more dystopian-level ideas of what constitutes beauty, so therefore a moral that got lost in marketing and translated wrong.
found it
@thewittyarsonist this is an AMAZING addition onto a post and thank you so much for clearing things up. I couldn’t for the life of me find anything about this movie other than the negatives and seeing the positive does actually make this movie sound like it has solid potential.
Like you said: it’s not an issue with the content. More with the MARKETING. Which I think, we can all agree, was done horribly both as the original and when translated into English. And to the point where their marketing did have a negative affect on them to the point of it being all people know. So hopefully that changes fast.
The good thing is, the ad was retracted and redone (though I have yet to find the new one and I’m sort of excited to see what they come up with!). This looks like a cute, well animated flick that I’m willing to give a chance.
I remember seeing a negative post about this and getting mega mad glad this cleared this up
As someone who works in marketing I can guarantee it was a marketing problem.
Remember Kung Fu Panda? The trailer made it out to be a feature length fat joke mixed with white people making fun of Chinese martial arts. Because of their shitty marketing campaign I nearly missed one of the best animated films in recent history – a beautiful story inside and out that has essentially been adopted as a national treasure by China itself.
So maybe this won’t be so bad. I’ll remain cautiously aware of it rather than my previous state of rage.
