Since Ramen warned me, you have only yourself to blame for me continuing this.

Was that really racism?
Well since he called out specific traits and phenotypes, yeah? Dangerously close if nothing else. This also isn't the first time his racism has been called out either.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it soon, I want to have time to play it before I start school

Parents need to be more creative when naming their kids, how are you gonna look at a newborn and be like "Oh yeah, that's definitely a Ronald". Same old ass 1950s names, not me though I'd be naming my kid like they're a Street Fighter character.
Reminds me of highschool, where I knew like, ten different Graces.

I’m curious as to why/ if a lawsuit is gonna get
Filed again against discovery.

Their obvious racism is cause for a class action and honestly probably several other suits I wouldn’t know the technical term for.

So I don’t see why no one’s done it yet. If I was fired like that, I would not sign whatever **** they hope buried this and move forward with my attorneys. Even outside of workers, I could honestly see different support groups take action and blow up this case.

I really hope it happens to, Zaslav needs to ****ing go.

Twitter has been getting toxic about Chris Pratt voicing Mario. They also don't seem to understand recasting would result in another delay.

My thought? I can't have an honest opinion until I hear more than two lines but I've definitely heard worse voice acting for Mario.

Twitter never understands anything to begin with, don’t they?

Twitters made it pretty obvious that they don’t care about getting actual voice actors in. They just enjoying bashing Chris for no reason, other then kids think it’s the cool thing to do.

Here is something else I wish to say about what is cool:

But seriously, what is "cool"? Cool is something that is positive normally. Bashing a voice actor, or anyone or anything in particular; including fictional things; is not cool, as it is negative and does not fit with cool being positive. I am surprised people don't seem to know what cool is. Learning from anyone who is trying to be cool, but in actuality does not do cool, is not the way to go. It is downright bad, in fact, and mentally unhealthy to bash others, let alone continually. Why should it be so hard to grasp what "cool" actually is?

Those who people think are cool nowadays do not seem to be good role models at all to take from or copy.

Cool is the opposite of warm.

Finally, an MCU project that has my full attention
even if it wasn’t an MCU project, Spider-Man (a literal legend who has a ****ty comic book run going on to balance out the amazing Spidey strict movies and games) and Daredevil (the man who ****ed She-Hulk and lived to oddly piss off Twitter)
idk what to say due to whatever lead to such a good ending…so here’s a Gwen Stacy

Objectively Cool is the state of not being warm. But seriously, what's deemed cool and not cool is well... subjective. What people may think is cool is lame to others. And also, there's 0 role models, don't meet your heroes
I mean, I could be wrong, but yeah, some may think another person, especially that of a celebrity or a famous person on the internet, or whatever; is the objective way to be cool. Thing is, there is not an objective way to be cool. It is just surprising that it seems that some do not realize that.

Noipoi Noipoi Sorry if I was harsh on you on the be serious thing, by the way.
