virginia beach is actually pretty damn liberal despite being south af geographically
when i say southern i mean like, rural deep south
I've heard some bull**** here honestly. I've lived in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the Beach
It really just depends on which parts of these places you go to

Though my perspective is probably a little different because everyone seems to be okay with making fun of Asians haha so I kinda just ignore it

If I had a dollar for every "Jackie Chan" comment bruh

True that. I meant like a villainous team that shuns anyone that tries to evolve their Pokemon and uses some Everstone-like technology to make sure PKMN never evolve. Sort of like a devout cult following.
God I remember when people actually had those complaints about Pokemon. Going on about evolution as if Pokemon was halfway realistic in the first place. Good old 90s.

At least the people who thought it gave you seizures were just kinda misinformed about the specifics of that story.

Wait, we oughtta combine both topics at the same time and make the worst pokemon game yet. Pokemon North and South.
That's what I was doing. That North and South business is really just an American thing. Well, America and Korea.

With Left and Right you can base the region on any number of countries currently tearing themselves in two.

Then why not just lock them until post game, like with past remakes?

I really think it has more to do with Let's Go being a game rushed out before development for the proper Switch title was complete.
**** if I know what goes on in the head of ol’John Gamefreak. I do think Let’s go was specifically trying to emphasise nostalgia more so than any previous title, and the fact that it’s essentially the start of a new form of Pokemon is what led to that Pokédex. That’s what I think anyway.

Aite, given the currently discussion topic, I'd like to gauge people's opinions (on Pokemon, not the South)

There's this website (click here) where you're asked to enter your favourite Pokemon of each type. There are similar-ish favourite Pokemon quizzes, but this one seems to be the quickest to fill in. Who are your favourites?

A few of these types I just kind of had to pick one. I don't give a **** about Dugtrio. Ground types suck.

If we’re talking about states we don’t like, I loathe California with a passion. One of the few places I’d rather not go back to.

Yikes. I live in the North and I hate Trump.

Also I thought Confederate Flags would be banned, but they are there? I do not know much about Southern life.
They aren't banned anywhere. They're protected under First Ammendment rights and are not considered, in and of themselves, hate speech. The deep south is littered with them, as well as statues and streets named after Confederate heroes.

I live right outside of Portland, OR and there's some ***hole who drives his truck around with a big Confederate flag hanging off the back everywhere he goes.

I’m desperately trying to ignore whatever the **** is happening over in Parliament. Starting to think Lord Buckethead should’ve become PM.

Hold up you guys don't get MAGA hats up North?

I mostly see them on the heads of elderly folk at Walmart, but they're still here in this peaceful, high Mexican population little town in Arizona I live in. I just assumed that you saw them everywhere.
The north isn't clean either, people here are talking about the south is, and yet, my most racist experience was up in Wisconsin. In fact, Tenessee was one of the most pleasent experiences I had (though stopping to eat at the Kentucky Tenessee border was terrible).

All States have garbage within them, it's just more notable on the south since it's more rural than anything else, and rural areas atrract that kind of people.

I found the same thing, but with ice: nothing against the type (even if it is terrible competitively), but there really aren't that many ice types I actually like. Also it kind of sucked having to leave out Sudowoodo, but my favourite rock type is Kabutops (who couldn't fit into the favourite water type slot, as Slowking was already taking that up, and Slowking couldn't fit into the favourite psychic type because ... well, you get the idea)

No thanks. Europe is already a cluster**** as it is, so as much as I appreciate the offer, I’m gonna have to pass on that.

You should come to Canada where the biggest problem we have is our proximity to more problematic countries.

Also roving gangs of beavers who loiter outside my favourite Tim Hortons and scare me.

Just treat people with kindness and respect and let people live their lives as long as they aren't toxic/harming someone.

And by that, I mean be nice to me, damn it

Yeesh. The Confederacy defended slavery. It is saddening that people still worship the Confederacy to this day.

literally everyone: "hey so 29 march is coming up a bit too soon to finalise proper legislation, maybe a 1-2 month extension would be best so we can sort this out cleanly"
may: "29 march it is"

It's weird and bad tbh, racism towards asians is like more "acceptable" then towards black people, brown people, etc etc

When I say "acceptable" I mean that everybody knows it's wrong but they still do it because people are less angry about it then towards others, which kinda has a reasonable explanation for racists?

I mean historically black people have had an awful history here, so people get way defensive over racism towards them. Same with brown people post-9/11 to an extent. Mexicans have faced racism quite recently too. White people are a majority here so it doesn't really matter. But since asians have just kinda been in the background throughout American history, people never really "care" about racism to them to an extent.

Not that I'm making an excuse for racism at all, it's bad in any form, but it's interesting nonetheless.
we just need a presidential candidate to be openly racist towards asians to get people to realize that it's bad

If you ever watch Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver, check out the Confederacy segment he does. It's on Youtube. It's startling how prevalent Confederate symbols are not only in the south but through the whole country. And how many people honestly believe that the war wasn't really about slavery. (It was. It absolutely was. That's a provable fact and people need to stop sugarcoating it.)
