whenever u are playing a video game and u think “this sucks. why wouldn’t this npc trust my character completely? why would they criticise their decisions when my character made the best choice available to them? why would they withhold information from my character and act according to their own agenda instead of trusting them?” that’s because it’s YOUR job to make a character who kind of sucks. and it’s not the game’s fault you didn’t do that

anon vs my first impression showcases how people who grew up in different cultures could have different interpretations on the text and BOTH can be true (sorry if it turns out you're a native asian like me anon)

neither of those might be the authorial intention, but still a reading that makes sense

the thing about people calling laios white is that theyre somehow framing it with the mindset of real world's political and social justice context where white privilege exists but this is a fantasy world written by a japanese living in japan where most of the time white privilege isn't something you can utilize so is it any surprise that the manga doesn't discuss race by making it a metaphor for racism in the west?

the black skinned elves are depicted as royals, we've never seen kabru got shit for his skin color but he did got shit for having blue eyes back in his hometown, shuro was never depicted as a victim of anti-asian racism because hey. get this. asia as a concept doesn't exist in dungeon meshi's world. in fact im not sure colorism is even a thing in dungeon meshi world? most of the time we see it based on whether they're long-lived or not, and. well. the racial biases of fantasy races that have nothing to do with skin color.

laios is white in the sense that his skin color is pale, but he's not white the same way white americans are more privileged than poc

honestly also you can read shuro's japanese coding as criticism towards japan's (and a lot of other asian cultures actually) refusal to actually communicate your issues with your friends because it's deemed more polite to send signals instead of talking it out because that's actually my first thought when it comes to shuro lmao

that's actually a REALLY fair and justified reading that i didn't think of because i keep seeing it framed via us-centrism and because im a native asian living in asia so im part of the majority

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

‼️Please Read. After a discussion with my Cousin we decided to start up a pilot Soup kitchen in Al Hitana Omdurman serving lentil stew fortified with peanut butter to double the available calories in the stew as well as bread.

The kitchen has been running for 3 days now and has served on average 80 people a day, representing 80 households so potentially we’ve been helping 400 people a day.

Over 90% of those who have shown up to the kitchen over the past 3 days have been women and Children and for some it will be the only meal they get that day.

From tomorrow we’d like to scale up to making two 65 litre pots of stew a day which is 160 servings (households).

Currently we’ve purchased enough supplies to run the kitchen at full capacity for two weeks but we’d like to make this a permanent thing and that needs external support.

If you would like to support this project and help this kitchen to continue working, then please donate to this gofundme which will be providing the funding support

I'm sick of internet negativity, so let's combat it: reblog this and saying something nice/pay a compliment to the prev in the tags.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

every now and then (like. everyday) people would reblog my post about otta saying "i think they break up with her because she's just too immature for them because theyre more adult than her now because elves clearly mature slower than halflings" and it's basically the same argument by the long-lived races have about how short lived races are still a kid at 60 years old except the other way around

#dungeon meshi #otta #otta dunmeshi

[yarrayora]

#i'd say they totally break up with her because they outgrown her #imagine being 40 and dating perpetual 20-yo #so she's like. reverse dicaprio actually

people keep saying this but the idea of elves maturing slower than the short-lived race is really funny to me like. even if otta is the equivalent of a 20 years old tallman that doesn't mean 40 years old tallmen are inherently more mature than her. in real life we have a bunch of adults who are less responsible than teenagers and vice versa. the canaries are just their version of those adam sandler movies with a bunch of manchildren getting drunk and being jackasses

but hey i can combine the idea of otta being an asshole and the girlfriends dumping her into one. maybe she starts losing interest in them because they are getting too old for her taste and it's REALLY obvious to the girlfriends so the realization that otta is a short-lived race fetishist turn them off and result in their break up

it's so brave of ryoko kui to make a canon butch lesbian elf character but also makes her the leonardo dicaprio of dunmeshi

#dungeon meshi #oh my god i just realized #THIS ARGUMENT IS JUST THE SAME RACIST BIAS LONG LIVED RACE HAVE TOWARDS SHORT LIVED ONES BUT THE OTHER WAY AROUND LMAO
