      Lack of exposure, poor education and indoctrination, mostly.

        and it just feels good to feel like youre better than other people for something innate. especially if youre a pathetic loser with no accomplishments in life. bigotry is a cheap way to feel good about yourself.

          I mean that’s why they fight so hard against actually talking about history. Because then it hollows out what little they can brag about and exposes the privilege they had with the rest.

            That comment from yesterday with Hitler malding about Himmler excavating and preserving prehistoric German mudhuts was chefs-kiss. Text of the image:

            Himmler had scientists undertake excavations of prehistoric sites. Hitler commented:

            Why do we call the whole world’s attention to the fact that we have no past? It isn’t enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts and enthusing over every potsherd and stone axe he finds. All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture. We really should do our best to keep quiet about this past. Instead Himmler is making a great fuss about it all. The present-day Romans must be having a laugh at these revelations.

            Some things never change.

              Maybe Germania wouldn’t have been so bad without Hitler’s vaunted Romans marching in and kicking them in the dick and enslaving them every time some senator or Caesar’s failson needed to prove himself.

              I mean, stone technology people built some pretty elaborate stuff, like networks of fish traps in coastal Australia, outrigger canoes in Polynesia that brought people to places as distant from their origin as Madagascar and Hawaii. Or Stonehenge if it must be whitey doing it. Goddamn the OG nazis were fuckin’ insecure.

    This isn’t even supposed to be the “Pokemon World”, it’s an animated series about kids playing the trading card game

    So, this guy isn’t just racist, he’s a fake Pokemon fan!

      Yeah. It’s pretty consistent that almost all of the bigots who spout this nonsense don’t care about the piece of media they’re complaining about. Some don’t even know anything about the games/shows/movies they complain about and then complain about wokism when they see a screenshot.

      I mean it makes sense why that is. It never was about the love or appreciation about a piece of fiction. If you’re looking at Pokemon as a way to escape black and brown people, you never really cared about Pokemon.

      I just hate that these shitheads invade fan communities and drown out valid criticism with their woke agenda.

        lol and they claim they’ve always been the true fans and claim us “wokies” are the newbie tourists raining on their silly little parade

        they 100% would’ve called me a fake/new guilty gear fan if they found out about my stance on bridget (before she came out as a girl i already viewed her as a woman - this was when i was just a kid mind you) despite guilty gear being my childhood lmfao

          I mean that’s kinda how colonialism does. Come in, stake a claim on a space, decide their canon is the only canon and then accuse you of being an invader when you were there all along.

          It’s so infuriating. The meltdown about Bridget was so fucking dumb too. It wasn’t even a leap in logic. It was all in the text if you paid attention.

          But if you did that, then you would have to acknowledge the idea of Bridget’s personhood.

            lol tell me about it. i saw people claiming that she was “GrOoMeD” to be trans by her opponents in the bad ending and that she continued to maintain her previous gender identity in the “good ending”. also the fact someone made an hour/1h30m long video essay whining about bridget’s current gender identity was just the cherry on top.

      Link to the first episode. Pretty cute!

      It’s really frustrating they don’t have closed captions available, though. I find it so strange that many videos put out by big corporations have the auto CC disabled but don’t provide their own, making them consistently less accessible than videos put out by individuals (many of whom also go through the trouble of providing high-quality manual captions)…it’s just a big middle finger to HoH/Deaf people. I can understand not wanting to lean on auto subs if they say something weird that will reflect negatively on your brand or w/e, but professional closed captioning would be a rounding error for any of these professional productions. We really ought to expand the regulations to capture this kind of streaming-only content.

      Can’t the sheeple just fuck off and play their Call of Duty? Normie scum can have their containment games as long as they leave the few non-dipshits in peace.

      I have found many Spanish rich people, so indoctrinated by private schools and toxic upper class life, that don’t realize they are educated into a class based, racist, homophobic, poor hating mindset. Yet if I tell them that, they tell me I’m a progressive person, as if that were an insult, they really are just a bunch of idiots that never questioned their morals.

        They are perfectly socialised into the most heinous social strata in western europe. You must surely be the problem since neither them or their loved ones are pieces of shit. That and they have some of the worst culture and fashion you will ever encounter.
