one of my favourite recurring bits of Leverage is when someone mentions Parker and the other person's reaction is "Parker? THEE Parker?" never gets old

Not to be dramatic but since hiori is blasian in canon I need black x readers asap🗣️ like we are DEF not getting any cultural background on this kid (because they just slid it in there like we weren’t gonna recognize in the first place)not that we have any background on any of these children’s parents but I think he should explain how he feels being mixed in Japan because it’s just really funny having these two in the exact same anime, and they are both black 
This is ABSOLUTELY hilarious 😭
Edit: so I’ve noticed a pattern of EVERY character looking like their mother and barely sharing any resemblance to their fathers so ig he gets a pass for being pale BUT there’s even more melaninated characters so let’s give him some sun too!!🥺
Respectfully; come the fuck on

Your rape comparison is dumb because it gets exactly to the point that you're missing. I come from a place in Nigeria with a history of arranged between young women and older men. A long time ago this practice was not only common, but largely an expected process when it came to joining two people. Today most people in Nigeria acknowledge this to be immoral and some even consider it to be sexual trafficking. I would be inclined to agree. Yet only a few hundred years ago it was not questioned. Not because rape wasn't looked down upon back then, it simply wasn't considered rape. I have a traceable family history to men I would consider to be rapists by today's standards. Do I consider them heinous men? No. It was simply the expectation and the culture of the time. Marriage was considered a unification of families rather than individuals. The opinion of the girl being married off was seldom considered. I don't think every slaver was a heinous human being either. For a large amount of time in many cultures having slaves was simply how large amounts of work got done. Yes, it required the belief that humans could be relegated to property. But that wasn't an idea they culminated on their own. Just like most of the belief systems they held. The same is true for us. Everyday I go to work for someone else to provide for myself and my family. In modern society, if I don't work, I don't eat and I die. I believe in the future we will have considered it a barbaric slavery to hold a man's basic needs hostage behind working for someone else. Maybe it will be "UBI" or something else, but I do believe that in the future most people's basic needs can and will be met without the systems of work we have now. And I don't think we'll consider every person who ever owned a business and made people work for a living, a heinous person. If you judged every person from 1000 years ago on their actions and dispositions most of them would probably be "bad men". At that point calling someone bad in that context becomes largely meaningless and renders the exercise a complete waste of time. Even a peasant from the late middle ages would likely be a terrible misogynist with them engaging in catholic traditions that gave them complete control over their wives, which I think we would agree is bad regardless if they treated their wife well or not. What people like you are too stupid and self-centered to understand is that, 200 years from now, people who look back at certain practices you supported as barbaric. No matter how convinced you are of the morality of certain practices, now, in the present, a different society in a future era, might consider them destructive. Something like lobotomies were viewed as compassionate and medically supported in the 1950s. What are society's views on lobotomies now? Does that make these people bad if future generations do something different?
first of all I have literally no idea what post you're talking about, second of all this is fucking unhinged lol!! I hate you cultural relativism freaks so much why are you so obsessed with defending rape and pedophilia?! just because it wasn't punished in the past doesn't mean the men committing those acts weren't still bad people. a person should know intuitively that holding down a screaming crying woman or child and painfully forcing yourself on them is wrong. would you argue that the Nazis weren't bad just because slaughtering jews in the place and time they lived in was a totally normalized & encouraged practice? you can try to excuse the most heinous acts with cultural relativism but that doesn't make them less heinous. this is such a fucking pointless discussion to have
also I'm literally a commie so I do in fact believe the robber barons holding basic necessities like food water shelter & healthcare behind a paywall are fucking evil

So i'm doing Pjo redesigns for my rewrite and i was debating wether to have my Annabeth look like the og version or like Leah and was leaning towards og because i love token white jokes but then i realized if when with Leahbeth,that combined with my hcs for the rest of the girls it would mean Percy would be a trans afrolatina who has all black female friends except for two brown girls(Piper and Reyna)and i was like

*sees that Disney finally started promoting that 'scifi Nigerian series' they teased way back when*
*sees that they didn't learn their damn lesson from Wish and went ahead and shoved a marketable-toy-character into the narrative like a square peg in a round hole*

now you might be thinking hey casey don’t you find it odd that ted lasso wrapped up half its arcs in one rapid-fire epiphany montage? and that despite the increased runtime, so many important moments informing character arc happen offscreen in a way that feels more lazy than artful? and yes. yes i do find it odd. ok moving along

Babs Olusanmokun is having an incredible year. After returning to the “Dune” franchise as Jamis in “Dune: Part Two,” the actor will next be seen in Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”, which opens in theaters on April 19. The Nigerian American actor is also a cast member of the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” series, portraying Dr. Joseph M’Benga. One of the perks of his job is filming on location, he told us: “For ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,’ we shot in Turkey and England. Turkey was so fun and welcoming. It’s such a huge country.”
