To be fair, I’m not opposed to memorializing Confederate soldiers since a lot of them died and I’m sure plenty were decent family men. Japan and Germany do the same thing with their war dead from WWII, but I’m sure Alabama is actually memorializing the Confederacy so, as you said, “Fuck That Shit.”

Indeed. I recently watched this clip of Eisenhower, and he lists Robert E. Lee as one of four top Americans. This is the same man who integrated our schools.

What are you supposed to be researching for your paper? What is it about? What are these sources that he doesn’t want? What kinds of sources does he want?

Star Wars fandom and its increasing strangle hold on Star Wars. and most of my sources are from here.

That’s pretty vague. Maybe try looking at The People vs. George Lucas?

I can post random images too. I don’t care about what anyone thinks of anime, I just think the hypocrisy is astounding.

The images I posted are from some of the most popular series among anime fanatics.

I’m no anime fanatic, but I think I would’ve at least heard of these if they were really “some of the most popular.” As far as I’m aware, action series’ like Dragon Ball and One Piece are much more popular.

You haven’t delved deep enough.

As someone who has been to an anime convention, those series are considered old school.

Remember when everyone gave me shit a couple years ago for saying that I don’t automatically respect other cultures and for saying that I don’t tolerate really shitty stuff just because it’s valued by other cultures? How come everyone shits on a Japanese art style purely because it’s a foreign art form but then everyone balked when I said I don’t respect cultures that subjugate women or practice honor killing?

I recently just watched the redlettermedia star wars reviews and loved them. But then I saw some of their “out of character” videos (half in the bag etc) and eh, lost me on the channel. They seem really smug and self righteous, and just generally were unlikeable to me. I might try some more of their in character videos sometime.

It definitely took awhile for me to get used to them after the Plinkett reviews. And they were definitely not that great when they started out, but after awhile they’ve grown on me and improved substantially. I would recommend their Star Wars Holiday Special Best of the Worst.
