As a father and a very rational person, I can fully understand you.
Especially if you don’t have any kids around you and/or problems inside your family anyways.
I’d lie if I said I wouldn’t sometimes love to have some alone time. But I would never go back to sleeping in every Saturday and missing out on my child.
You cannot rationally explain why it’s fulfilling to have kids. The payoff is largely emotional.
Sleeping in got old for me at some point.
So what?
What constitutes an artist?
If it’s just the execution then someone writing a screenplay isn’t an artist because they are Not filming and acting.
Double that for animated series. No one is an artist here because a lot of stuff is already automatically generated.
You’re not an artist because you can draw what someone else tells you. Maybe a craftsman at best.
AI is a tool. A pencil also doesn’t know what it made.
That doesn’t take anything away from the art.
Art doesn’t need a gatekeeper
It’s also that there’s no interest to adopt the culture of the host country and rather building foreign bubbles
I would disagree that Germany has not been welcoming.
The public opinion has just shifted after numerous incidents including rape, murder, terrorism in addition to the bad integration and clashing cultures.
It is also obvious at this point that it’s not refuge but immigration we are looking at, which changes the entire deal a bit and makes the aforementioned problems look worse.
Couldn’t have said it better
Look man, even if I provide you with 5 opinion pieces about it that say it’s okay would it change your mind?
Do you think black Pete or Belgium are the only ones with traditions like that?
What’s offensive or not is upon the people to decide and blacks in the US do not speak for the rest of the world.
You know there’s also black people nit offended by some or all of these traditions. What now?
Being especially racist also doesn’t make a country experts on racism. If it were the case the US wouldn’t be as racially divided as it still is. I’d argue it’s way, way worse then most first world countries to be honest.
That’s a bit farfetched.
Following that argument every single skill in life is dependant on literacy and I’m pretty sure illiterate people are still able to learn and analyze.
Even if not, technically illiterate people can actually read a button or menu item.
So your evidence is an American written article about why something perceived as racist in America is racist anywhere?
You’ve gone full circle, dude.
big part of why racism against blacks is such a big topic in the US is because there are so many more than in Europe
You know it might also have something to do with that tiny thing about the southern states and slavery and so on.
Let’s just agree to disagree, you are missing my point entirely and keep doing so.
It’s not a form of mockery, that’s just the US cultural interpretation of it.
If I put on an iron man suit I’m not mocking iron man. If anything I’m giving him credit for being a cool dude.
Context matters.
But the meme was about tech illiterate people dude
Essentially yes. The application of paint to one’s face by itself isn’t a racist act.
For some reason it’s seen as the epitome of racism in the US, but that’s a cultural thing.
Blackface is a very American thing that lots of people in Europe don’t give a shit about
Gen Z is probably as illiterate at least.
Tbh it wasn’t that bad and had some pretty fun moments.
Yeah, this literally never happens. Every fit guy in the gym is rooting for the fat guy to make it.
