A lot of gravel beaches on the west coast of the US
I’m sure there’s a reason geology wise
It’s just funny
I watched a video that simply asked what year the US gained independence
Someone said 1912
lol

1776
My goat
...well
Then they asked, who did they gain independence from
Albania declared it's independence from the ottoman empire in 1912
SOME DUMBASS SAID AMERICA
Granted with how the ANC runs things, thank god because the ANC would have sold those for 20 bucks and a high five to literally anyone 
Was a mistake
It would be really funny though
mfw 54% of USA adults can't read past 6th grade level
No wonder media literacy is at an all time low
Sometimes they need to be left behind in order to catch up
Tbf That’s also parents substituting raising their kids by giving them technology
It was another nail in the coffin
Gotta let them catch a breath
our entire education system needs overhauled but good fucking luck doing that
Failure shouldn't be a death sentence
US education is a rotting carcass shambling around
lol
Aside from college level stuff
But US education makes it feel like failure is a death sentence
Thats a reference to something?
New parents don’t care about raising their kids, kids are becoming rude and ungrateful to teachers
So then they removed the death sentence part
Mister Torgue sold Torgue in Borderlands 2 for $20 and a high five
Those who care don't get enough
Those who don't will pass without effort
Instead of idk
Making sure that they actually get taught?
Adapting to the fact that each human being learns at a different pace?
Nah fuck that!
Haven’t schools also been moving the goalpost to what qualifies for graduating to make that graduation rates go up too?
We need them for the job market!!
Yeah and enhancing grades to those who fail
Started with no child left behind yeah
lol
The ANC nuking Namibia just to stop people complaining about the rolling blackouts
I hate modern politics so much
To be fair, reform education is beyond difficult.
But at the same time, we haven't even tried bruh
we just made it worse
We just went in the opposite direction
lol
Thanks Bush, I’m not mad I swear

Because this happened while I was in school
Problem is both sides want to use Education for their own gain instead of actually caring to educate
Making things worse is much easier than making it better
Also they added a high schooler to deadlock lol
I wouldn't call that reforming
Graves is deadass a high school sophomore or junior 💀
Thanks valve
For letting me shoot at children
Pssh education? You mean workforce creator!
Fun activities for kids?
Laughs in Bebop hook and bomb combo
Nah spend more time doing homework
Seriously they're removing recess
Explode the child
I hate autocorrect so fucking much
In a lot of schools
They're also removing shit like coloring time
and now I’m terrified
Legit some schools don't allow kids to do things like arts and crafts
I’m so scared now actually
Should I be worried Elite?
Which, aside from being fun, is meant to develop hand eye coordination and creativity
Of course
We can't have creativity
Not in this economy
I hate how easily stressed and scared I get
We need to shove in more math lessons
It'll be fine bruh
Twitter isn't automatically gonna rip you apart for a typo sent on one discord server
What did he say?
That you corrected within a second
I don’t even use twitter 
I'm posting his social security number, address, and credit card info
AS
WE
SPEAK
I get that’s a joke but I still get really nervous lmao
Oh yeah also unrelated meme
Seriously why does nearly every Chinese soldier we see fight us for zero reason
Like bro it's been 200 years.
No really what did he even say lole
I assume a slightly more function version of feral ghoul
Same reason the Norwegian ghouls in 4 fight you, wanna be left alone
Probably but General Zao* in FO4 was genuinely a cool side quest because he was a sane Chinese Soldier
And we got to see his perspectives, regrets, etc.
Genuinely one of the best side quests ngl
What goes through your mind knowing that you were one of the people
That helped pull the trigger that ended the world
I think what he says before the quest is over is probably one of the best dialogues ngl.
I always have a soft spot for The Silver Shroud in FO4 because Bethesda sets up a few totally villainous bastards for the quest
They banned those like 20 years ago at least
beer stays winning
Nvm even older
1971
I wasn’t even alive yet
Why the fuck do I remember seeing cigarette ads
"What will you do there (China)?"
"Anything Zao can do. If China is gone, I will build. House by house. And if no houses can be built. I will die. My jia... at peace."
I can fix her
Actually, she can fix me.
the face she makes before she ruins your life (you wanted to)
THE SCREAMERS HIT THE SECOND TOWer
I imagine Tzeentch is the one shouting that
While two other copies of himself are piloting the scramers

Scribes of tzeentch infighting
Just as planned...
Seriously though I always thought that Tzeentch should have more infighting than any other chaos God
Like his entire thing is sabotaging his own plans
And planning
I can imagine Tzeentch vs Tzeentch battles would be similar to JJBA battles where it's "Who can out bullshit the other?"
I need more settings with magic, except it has tactical gear and guns alongside magic bullshit
Honestly even the few settings that have both, usually have the magic as a sideline
I want like a near future or modernish/slightly older aesthetic as well bcs the settings that do have this combo usually are just sci fi
lol
Like Trepang2 outright has magic. Magic is quite literally an accepted part of the universe. But it is still modernish.
But yet we never have 106 do some force level bullshit. All of his abilities are due to him being a genetic supersoldier.
Even his time slow is essentially just his reaction speed increasing
Tbf that might as well be magic. But the fact that he never ACTUALLY uses magic kinda sucks
You ever play Delta Green?
Also I need to specify I mean I want someone with some random ass fantasy wand alongside someone with like an AR-15
Yes
Do you know how fucking cool it would've been for 106 to cast spells while shooting a fucking shotgun?
Big fan of that stuff tbh
I love me some delta green
Ooo
But modern day
Interesting
I think the only "tacticool + magic" settings I know are:
Trepang2
...
...
Trepang2

It doesn’t even need to be tacticool
So the Cataphractii Terminator set is coming out soon
Maybe SCP
I’d be fine with like
But that depends on the author
Techware street clothes
With like
Belts and pouches
And a gun
And wand
Idfk
This feels hard to vocalize
Secret World is tacticool+magic, idk if that mmo still runs tho
Same concept as delta green
What set would I need to chaosify the Heresy Cataphractii Terminators?
Also something that I hate is uh
Urban Fantasy settings where the fantasy part is a secret. Similar to like Harry Potter
Like bitch you just removed one of the most interesting elements

So of course it's like 90% of urban fantasy universes
The thing to make them chaosy would be trim and other chaosy bits
But trim is impossible without green stuff
Get some legionaries
They come with extra bits
Or just add spikes and say they're new

"Yeah uh they just joined/got turned on. They haven't fully grown in their chaos stuff yet. They got the spikes though!"
You can also just run them as is
And say their armor isn’t effected
Paint on some chaos stars
did tyberos ever face kharn or am i falling for fake ai lore youtube slop
World of Darkness mentioned
Don’t think so
Is Tyberos still alive?
he too cool to die
Then no
Kharn runs the risk of becoming the new Avatar of Khaine
Kharn has died like 4 times
I said runs the risk, not currently is
Do you think the imperium has stuff like bb guns?
I think they do.
But obviously they rarely use them because every training course always seems to be live fire
So might as well give little Timmy a lasgun instead
I think it's way more likely they just use real guns and condemned criminals as target practice
Yeah probably
They do also use actual people for target practice yeah
Lmao
Besides why have nerf or airsoft battles
When you can have the real thing outside your backyard!
They cart in fresh people for target practice in the schola progenium
Since gang violence is extremely common
Ffs
It loaded
Just like those gangers
Who are probably about to unload onto those poor bastards

And just slap them on the Cataphractiies?
Yeah
Cause I want to try and keep kitbashes to be mostly comp legal
Not all of them will be doable
They’re cosmetic
Who gives a shit
Ultimately if you want to make them chaosy trim wise
You’re gona need to learn green stuff
Which is
A whole ordeal
I like to imagine somebody like includes in their schedule
"Run away from Ganger battle (Cardio exercise)"

I mean that's probably the case but it'd be funny if the average hiver schedule is full of this shit
Lasguns have no recoil, making them ideal for child soldiers to use
And then afterwards it's
"Get daily rations"
Sounds like GW should make Schola Peogenium game.
ERHM askhually they are depicted to have recoil in animations and games-
Yeah but that's wrong
Mfw you get executed by the drill abbot/abbess
Yep.
Honestly I can imagine it being a fucked up version of Mario Party or Warioware.
"Chance Time!"
all players/students lined up with a drill abbot doing ennie minnie minny moe
Recoil is what happens when mass is pushed out of a barrel and generates an equal force back into the shooter.
Lasers are just light, they have no mass.
Ergo, no recoil.
Whoever loses the most within a round gets executed for being the "lowest performer"
FS was holding back on how absolutely wild the hairstyles can be
Escher has some insane hair lol
Necromunda hairstyles were nuts
Oh shit I thought that was the wind blowing back their hair or something
Nah
Nah it just looks like that
I'm just wondering how much hair gel they're using to keep it like that

Maybe that's the goal.
There is so much hair gel it acts like a helmet...
Honestly I fw it
Idk, prolly got drugs in it though
That shit looks wild
The Escher juves are too high to be scared
In my opinion, 40k isn't 40k without a little bit of that aesthetic.
"I might die, but I'm too high, and too fly to care!"
It’s so fucking funny
Juves suffer less morale issues
If one of your gangers is smoking
Fuuuck I should play necromunda
but I have not the time
and I dont even play kill team
Reminds me of the Hussars but instead of feathers it's their actual hair
that I already have models for
There was a necromunda video game a few years back
They got em
It wasn't very good
House Escher sounds like the best gang.
Not because it'll treat me the best or whatever. But because at least I can look fashionable before I fucking die

And you will die
Tbf
If you last long enough you’ll die of a drug overdose instead
In the clan houses
Or if you’re lucky in the upper hive
Kinda harder to find a "won't" in 40k tbh
Either in battle or from the horrific chronic diseases they no doubt suffer from after the age of 23
I am
Escher are the drug addicts
Goliath are the steroid addicts
.
Heh. Yeah
It was only a matter of time tbf
Surprised he did it instead of Joe biden
Sleepy Joe wins again
They just like red
There's the bag wearing guys
commander in chief
"ARE YOU A KHORNE WORSHIPPER?"
"nah I just like red"
And steroids
humilates himself
Yeah the corpse grinders are the real khornates
before all of america
Generally
Tdf he humiliates himself quite regularly
Ok but what US president shat themselves on camera
name ONE
It's uh. Really sad. Actually
This is the second time a President did this ffs
Very well adjusted individuals
Donald Trump (2016)
Biden shat himself when meeting with world leaders
They’ll absolutely eat you
Oh, I was right
Apparently that was proven false
Would not be surprised if they said that to save face
This is kind of inevitable when you put people in their late 70s up on stages like that
Maybe but the fact that it can be questioned vs absolute confirmation is funny
Big news: Old people are old.
All I want from Biden right now is to rest and enjoy the time he’s got as he gets his cancer treatment. No one deserves cancer
All I can say is
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SPLATTER!

I like it
gotta go out with style
All the necromunda gangs have drip except normal Cawdor
Who’s main aesthetic is looking homeless
Redemptionists are great though
...
"My gang is kinda homeless"
They look like they’re going to crucify you or burn a cross in your yard
"My gang is kinda homeless."
"I live in the underhive I wanna help em out."
"Lord Helmawr, I see you trying to hold back your laughter. That is disrespectful."
I wonder if each gang shares some form of theme with a chaos god.
Not really
It’s just Escher and slaanesh for the whole drug thing
Tbh
But they’re not slaaneshi
They just make a bunch of pharmaceuticals
And drugs
You'd think Cawdor would have more religious iconography strapped onto their bodies, but this feller has like nothing on him lmao
They’re broke as fuck
What about tzeentch?
They have nooses though
Or nurgle?
Delaque have their own gods
They can make a crude two headed eagle from scrap metal Im sure
Cawdor are filthy and poor but not diseased
I think they're mostly just homeless people which is why they're also the most populated
Some do
Cawdor/Homeless/Scavenger KT when?
Yeah they are
Also
They strap bombs to kids 
Remember
Jesus Christ
They have a thing where they can blow up on death, including juves
Which are kids/preteens/teens
lol
Don't worry, it's just an early ticket to the Emperor

Yeah basically
Y'know Jojo Rabbit (the movie)?
There's a scene where a Hitler Youth Woman basically told a kid "Hey you see that American over there? Go give him a hug?" And she pulls the tab out of the grenade which was strapped to his behind.
And he runs to give the American said "hug".
I'm imagining something similar but it's House Cawdor
Here it is
Kids fighting a war are a great idea, yes?
Some people actually still think so. This was a great movie.
Ive only watched the latter half of this movie but man its a harrowing bit on how they treat the Hitler youth kids
Jojo Rabbit is a fucking great movie
Both harrowing and also absolutely fucking hilarious

A young boy in Hitler's army finds out his mother is hiding a...
Its very funny
But yeah, considering how the movie becomes more and more saddening as the Nazi Empire becomes more desperate and the Allies grow closer
It's 100% fully Jojo's POV
And it makes sense in a way
It's a kid seeing the world in propagandized but still naive eyes
Slowly turning into being more fucked up as he realizes how much he was lied to
With only bits of humor in-between (like Captain K's fantastic outfit)
laati
Yes
chicken
Yum
yes

I really like how the depiction of Hitler in the beginning of the film is playful and childlike and only slowly becomes closer to the actual Hitler as Jojo realizes what actually is at stake.
Its also really funny how Jojo's imagination thinks he actually just killed himself when he last sees his imaginary version of Hitler for the last time
Yeah I like the detail on how it's his outfit on his last public appearance
- the bullet wound in his head
It's symbolically representative of how his ideals are slowly decaying inside Jojo's mind
I also like several details such as the imaginary Hitler smoking and eating unicorn.
Two things Hitler hated. As he was anti-smoking and a vegetarian.
Waikiki says that he didn't research Hitler. But the details are so good that I genuinely don't think he was being truthful on that.
Also the movie is much better than the OG book

Didnt even know it had a book
Jojo rabbit was a fantastic movie
It's ass tbh
ur ass
whyre u a furry
i always was
Why green
You look like the hyenas from lion king
no
i modeled the backpack before the artist drew it
ammo drums are cool

Morning
God the political world really want to grind down the youth.
In France there are ideas for having the the possibility to underpay the youngest workers (under the legal limit) 💀
Does France have a youth unemployment crisis like UK supposedly has?
So apparently 12.3 %of the 15-29 year old are Neets ( no jobs, not schools or other stuff)
That doesn’t sound too bad, but yea, having a separate set of minimum wage isn’t likely to help things.
It'll help owners for stores, and other job giver...
Not younger people.
Woe upon France
Another 15 revolutions
Yea, sorry, I meant the statistics don't sound too bad, not the "lower wages" thing
I didn’t realize that they changed the Minotaur pet in terraria this update
It’s a faun now
the glow up
Yassification
They made the Minotaur a femboy!
looks better but yeah they did yassify it lmfao
Want to get it away from the original design as much as possible bcs Tobuscus is an ass
lol
they look pretty good
They look excellent
two teasers remain now
Compared to all their old minis
Mutilators are basically melee obliterators right
yeag
you think obliterators are next?
No
Not yet
Imo
They’re in a shared sprue which sucks
But no reason to replace them yet
i see
So these are newly released but I wonder what other chaos units have little specific lore to their existence? Similar to the Chaos Raptors https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/kwjvw02q/love-to-crush-maim-and-kill-surrender-to-the-warp-and-become-a-new-chaos-mutilator/
Mutilators have been around since 6e
So around 13 years
They just had the most ugly models in existence
So GW took them out back and had them executed
I see
Jesus christ those are very ugly
The obliterator at the time was cool AF too
I like the concept of their skin stretching out and mixing with the armor and turning into a resistant warp material and having their faces stretched but it looks ugly stilll
The thing is it’s just meat still
Btw are they supposed to be extremely mutated terminators ? Their bulkynizess and size makes it look like dreadnoughts a lil
Yeah basically just very mutated Termis
They're all super mutated termies yeah
Insane warp touched termis
Probably completely insane 
Very
Very fair
What is the most warp mutated/possessed character you can think off that is slightly sane still?
I need examples
Some possesed are less insane
Possessed
Esp the 1st Possessed
If you're interested on what's on making them that https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Obliterator_Virus
Read this and you will understand how the virus works
I still think Sara'am created it
Wow these look like shit
Names?
I fuck with it but they surely just look generic mutated marines
playdough marines, so peak
This is my issue yeah
Holy shit these new models BLOW
Sticky skin disease
the center is SO fucking clean
They do just look like Terminator with extra meat bits
Yeah
One of my other OC ideas are very very mutated (and considering making them possessed) and I wanted to know some examples on characters similar to that who are still kind of... mentally there
Not something like Uzas from the NL Onnibus who just comes and goes
And I’m the guy who defends kamadora’s blades!
Oh very nice
We the Word boys have alot
So
In 30k there were the entirety of the Gal Vorbak
Possessed but in Symbiosis with the possessing daemon
So very very sane
this is generic
Besides that
In modern 40k
Fair
I think this a recent GW thing where they make some stuff that doesn't look... "cursed" enough
Like you can see their faces and a bit of skin in their armor but compared to the old ones they were ugly cause they actually looked mutated
nothing you can't fix with greenstuff
We have Burias Drak'Shal
Yeah I was going to take them as examples
Ye
Its very much a modeller fault yeah
i have some people calling these "grotesque"
and im like-
Really?
lmao
Most Possessed will never reach the heights of the Gal Vorbak
But sanity is still very much possible
I could probably come with more grotesque than that
Fuck, an 8yr old could do something better tbh
They are bad man
if I ever get these I'm greenstuffing them
No
Yes
Not bad sculpts
Like an on and off relationship with the daemon possessing sort of
They aren't bad, just bland
"Im greenstuffing them"
Why is AoS the only system with good Chaos Chosen
why do they suck ass in every GW system
but AoS
Yeah I thought of that as well
Like a common ground between the person and the daemon
lol
Basically
I give you slaughter
So you no fuck me over
And some possessed can turn back to "normal looking marine" too
Shout out to my ex’s conspiracy that they sent all of the good 40K modelers to AOS so more people buy AOS
Yup
The Gal Vorbak and Vakrah Jal in its entirety could
In 40k
I thought it was a permanent affliction
Burias could
For the lesser possessed, as always uh it depends
I could see that but I feel like this is levels of insane that is too much
So it just depends in how powerful you are
Or the daemon
nah AoS had its own sculptors from the start
you can tell
based on how AoS sculpts feathers and banners
I know dw, I mentioned it like a year ago and we all made fun of it
its very distinct
I think its more of how the possession ritual was handled but those are probably factors as well
Also uh
smooth armor
thats another thing AoS does differently from 40k
anyways hope the new Defiler looks good
WAUT, are these models supposed to be uh
That also makes sense- I wonder if it would depend on the origin of the daemon and even their mood
yeah the mutilators are replacing the playdough dudew
Mayhaps, the mood does affect as the daemon seems to gain more control the more restless/unappeased they are
Oh okay
to say they have aged poorly
is an understatement
because they were hideous when they came out
they were bad even when they came out
but there was no excuse for how ugly they were
when they came out
This came out 6e
So on theory (going as if there's a particular rule on how it works), let's say a possessed marine goes for too long without appeasing the daemon with slaughter or booms it would slowly start to get angry enough to where it takes full control of their body?
Sounds a bit like what happened to Vandred
The Exalted
cmon this shit came out the same edition
Theoretically yes
But generally a marine should know to appease his daemon, if he wants to live
Vandred iirc chose to die as he hated how the Exalted changed him
I mean yeah he does choose death over it but I mean how the daemon is in full control from most of the story and Vandred is just there stuck in his own mind unable to do anything
Maybe the reason he didn't have fully control of it is because the daemon got bored of how he operated and took full control
Possibly
Or maybe he got the short end of the possession, or he did not expect that to be how the daemon operated
mfw I see another guillivrainne meme
Did yall see the new chunky steroid bois
Jesus Christ
Btw
Mutilators be praised
Thank god they updated them wth are those things
Oh gods
I see
Can't we kill the Ultramarines instead
Idk he still looks a bit lacking in actual mutated look but he's cool
We kill them too
Is my point
He has a sick 14 pack
My whole point is the 6e mutilators
But its harder to put a daemon in a dead xeno
Are awful sculpts
I like to think that isn't his face but a "cancerous" thing that grew to look like a fucked up face
Ye possession is a funky thing
Seems like most things are just written to be funky to leave the authors or anyone in fact to just write how they wish to
It's left as vague as possible to leave room for people to do their own sthick, almost
I think youve hit the nail on the head, doesn't help that Chaos is also "endless possibility"
Also not letting authors fuck around too much has its consequences
Like the Fidelitas Lex somehow existing in the Abnettverse after being struck down in the ADBverse
Yeah from what I've seen doing research to write my own homebrew warband is that you can do kinda what you want?
So much is left as only concepts to be created upon almost freely
I mean it's probably for the best? Leaves enough space so that other authors can use it in a different manner for plot or to people to just customize their own homebrewd stuff freely
Almost, just stick to the core precepts and the CSM codex established stuff when in deepest doubt
Its a lot more free and fun imo
It's bad that leaves a lot of stuff not fully explained and doesn't let official authors to do what they want to their full extent but leaves freedom to the next ones or their customers to do their stuff using it as a fundamental concept
Yeap i agree
I mean a lot is explained
Its just that other interpretations and explanations are also possible
True which is fineee i guess
Because later if they feel like it they can move that plot in almost any way they like
Same
Bro got the Gmod face morph treatment
Oooh I remember this, my brother had the original kit, I remember I was very impressed by all the details and quality of the sculpt back when it was first released
Both the hellbrute and the named character lord
IIRC hellbrute was a named chaos dreadnought back when they were still a thing
To this day my bro still has the hellbrute but he replaced the face with a skull
Aging amirite
All his dreadnoughts are custom tbh
Is it odd that they remind me of the centaurion suits?
This one is pretty funny looking ngl
Fuck yea
that monopose hellbrute is a really great sculpt
the multipart one is just kinda t-pose
the new mutilators look good, they missed a trick not making it a dual kit tho imop
An up-and-coming hitler is gaining traction in my state and is endorsed by drump, fuucckkkk
Good luck
yeah its getting very hard for me to avoid the "let it all burn" state of mind recently
idfc what happens in 2028 the US must not be allowed to retain any geopolitical power or even presence after this clown show
Unironically hoping for the US century of humiliation
If the only alternative is keeping on the current track
crazy that jerma did that
the only superpowers i want is flight and being able to breath in space
so i can just fuck off this mud ball and never come back
But you will free to death in space...
Also, breathing is an action, you can always do it in space, but there is no air.
Just wear a thick jacket it's fine
Fuck, I'm suck as a genie.
better to be dead in space than on this shit shithole tbh
What's the different being dead in space and on a rock?
no other people around
I think im gonna talk to my dad about how trump shat himself a few days ago
You can already do it here.
you know the one thing wrong with earth, humans
(But don't, serious)
no you cant
because then someone has to do something with your body and that costs a shit ton
Waiting for an altruistic god to manifest and purge all scum on earth
Is God real yet
Eh, there are many isolated place on earth. Also, it is no longer your problem.

yeah but im not selfish enough for that sadly
No we killed the idiot
Do you want the video of it 💀
Or better, some scientists can do something with it.
It’s awful lol
So audibly hear it
nah they cant get nothing out of my fat ass
They made people GTFO
Even when you think that you are worthless, your meat sack is still valuable.
As a servitor
Be positive!
the real problem is the media never said anything about it
Lmao I'm trying to be
if it wasnt Trump they would have jumped all over him for it
I wanna lay down for a few more minutes then crawl outta bed...
What a peculiar world, I remember thinking Bush wasn't so bright as a young lad. I had no idea what the future would be like
Y'know the most depressing part?
It is already afternoon, Sus.
About all of this?
Pizza gate
Qanon
They were all right in suspecting.
They just pointed the fingers at the wrong side
that was the intent
It was all a fucking psyop
Yeah
The conspiracy theorists got manipulated
the best way to cover up something is to make everyone think someone else did it
lmao
Still though. I feel blind
hwat in tarnation is this
wtf is this
What fucking vn is this
LMAO
Wait wrong channel
LOL
wtf
endfield?
ah ok
Do you want the image back lol
nah
Yes
its a gacha
lol
Lmfao
Oh sweet
anyways racism is fine in animes it's ok to have an ethnostate as a treat
You can clear the whole game with free stuff
Nah they get treated like a bunch of racist assholes lmao
But they have guns
It's just as a treat it's fine
😭
I need to get out of bed..
Lmao
"Y'know having an ethnostate might mean you're racist."
so an antagonist ethnostate, hate to say it but that is like the most common anime trope out there
They’re not an antagonist
oh
"Wait really? I didn't know. I just wanted all the filthy [INSERT RACE BECAUSE I DON'T PLAY ARKNIGHTS] out of our country!"
That flavor of racism
(yet)
They’re the flavor of racism who just screams “leave us alone or else we’ll kill you”
(For now)
Ah yes, the french nuclear strategy
there is only 1 flavor of racism, everything else is just being quiet about it
There are multiple flavors of expressed racism
nah there's different flavors
it's like how soda is technically carbonated sugar water
but soda has different flavors regardless
racism is the same
do you prefer sprite racism?
they all lead to the same outcome and thats all that matters in the end
coca cola racism?
I like ginger ale racism
💀
Don’t worry they can agree with the majority of other countries that the people with super rock cancer deserved to be oppressed
💀
Why is that a common theme among anime
FFS One Piece also has a similar thing
And HSR planned something similar during it's development
slavery and genocide are the only outcomes of racism, doesnt matter what path is taken to get there
Untrue, you’re forgetting total isolationism lol
Which can happen
Just not in the modern day unless you count the north sentinaleese which I don’t
that is because there are other non racist paths to that outcome
HSR planned it likely bcs Arknights had it.
And Arknights is huge in China
Keep that goal post still friend
i am
Oripathy in Arknights is explicitly based on Tiberum poisoning according to the devs
lol
Except there’s no benefits to having Oripathy
You just grow crystal/rock tumors and die eventually of it even with medicine
cultural and political isolationism can still have multiple ethnicits so long as all members follow the monoculture or political faction
And then your body decays into more rock cancer crystals
and not all ethnostates are isolationist
Japan is technically an ethnostate, right?
its like 96% japanese though right
For reference. Be prepared for yapping.
One Piece context:
Trafalgar Law's backstory is essentially that his home city mined an ore simply called Amber Lead, with a shiny white coating. It turns out that over a century ago, the World Government discovered in the geological surveys that the ore is harmless left unearthed. However, when bare skin gets exposed, the ore slowly erodes the body from the inside out. Along with the disease being passed down to children.
Due to greed, the World Government withheld this discovery from the public, as all infected people showed no noticeable symptoms until it's final stages. However, the disease also appears earlier in the lifespan of each subsequent generation, and causes the symptoms to appear earlier. As a result, it caused all the citizens of his hometown to fall ill at the same time.
In response to this, neighboring countries imposed a quarantine on the town, incorrectly believing the disease was contagious. Killing all infected citizens attempting to escape. When people fought back, the countries responded with of course... GENOCIDE! Only one survivor remained. Trafalgar D. Water Law.
HSR Context:
In the beta versions of Belobog, it originally had it so that the rocks that gave warmth to people... in their raw form. Basiclally just gave them super cancer. The underground miners were basically segregated and slowly dying to the disease while surface Belobog benefited from the processed rocks. Which allows them to live through the eternal winter that plagues the entire planet.
Of course, in the final, they removed the super cancer part. And just had the underground suffer from segregation and poverty instead.
Some of the politicians seems like they really want that right now
Don't know what their fucking problem is
Wow the HSR one is literally just Oripathy lol
heard their politicians are homophobic as fuck
Xenophobia
Oripathy can only be transmitted from the natural stuff being “active”, consumption of it or cutting yourself on it, or your parents have it
Also it’s xenophobia
That's probably why they rewrote that portion. They probably realized it was way too similar.
For being a terminal disease none of the gacha characters with it have died from it yet lul, they have just straight up killed them though.
I guess death via cancer is too inglorious lol
Also honestly it makes more sense considering Belobog is literally the only city on the planet. Population isn't exactly that ibg
Yeah if the miners are dying from a terminal disease constantly
Not really sustainable if the population isn’t huge
Yeah considering Belobog suffers from a Stellaron problem and an eternal winter.
lol
Adding super cancer on top of that would just be
I love eternal winter
Mmm rock cancer
Least you can cut off the rocks growing out of your body
Ah yes, the Imperium solution
They're isolated from the rest of the galaxy though so uh
...
Like their city is the only city because everywhere else is dead
It’s an easy campaign platform to run on
Tbh
It's like Frostpunk
Being racist is easy
If there was no other possible cities
It let's you get a base
a base that is probably also stupid enough to uh
get money from
"I need 1 million dollars to own the libs fr"

I've heard a bunch of them run on it and then do nothing, it's just to get votes
Still, it's wack. Just incentivise tourists to go anywhere but Tokyo and Kyoto if they're causing so many problems 4head
Honestly, the worst part is that their population is decreasing
partially because lack of immigration
and partially because well
work culture is ass
this goes for South Korea and China (on a lesser scale cause there's still a lot of people)
Yeah a lot of it is all bark no bite
In short, why would you make babies if all your time is spent making sure you can pay rent
Tbf work culture is awful
It’s also expensive as shit to raise a child
Even if the government literally subsidizes it
Why would you raise a family if you're spending two fucking all nighters to complete a job
japanese actually aren't as monolithic as they like to pretend they are. they do try their best to assimilate any outgroup though. there's even indigenous groups in japan that are heavily targeted by racist attacks and it's sad
Who's going to have a kid when you have a full time job and still need to sleep overnight in internet cafes just to not sleep on the street
just look up the okinawan language too
I find it funny really
Aniu moment
yeah well you reap what you sow
China and Japan both trying to exterminate languages and dialects that aren’t the “big” ones
lol
yeah it's
stupid
to say the least
"Look at all this wonderful culture and different languages-"
No matter how hard the CCP tries to come down on it
"Welp, time to exterminate them!"
gotta remember there's still some progressive people in these countries and their life is a living hell
Happened a lot in Europe, preserving it is a modern thing
Yeah
irish language nearly died
Well in China “standard” mandarin is still mandated to be spoken in all non college schools
No local mandarin dialects or other things
Culture Revolution gives me a bit of physical pain.
Mainly because a lot of valuable ancient history
Basically got evaporated
Yet another Maoist L
there's tons of dialects in france alone that never got preserved so they got lost to time
...
it's crazy how complicated language can be
Bro almost got executed
