#lol he looks like an important politician or something #barcode tinnasit isarapongporn #barcode tinnasit #pucci x barcode #kp cast

[kaltacore]

it's the year 2023 and people still believe that media is somehow feministic/has no problem with that kind of representation if the number of women in the main cast is significantly smaller than the number of men but there is a bunch of female npcs that have no relevance to a story nor any writing whatsoever

#oh yeah. the bunch of npcs is a lot more relevant than well-written characters with compelling stories in the main cast #like do you hear yourselves sometimes. just sometimes #I don't give a fuck if female_character_28292 is the best politician of her time and the queen of the world if i can't remember her name!

How does the meteor itself work? And also because Roxy seems to be accepted without a lot of confusion in a public space, how does that work? Did the meteor affect everything really widely and so there’s a lot more various creatures (affectionate) roaming around? Or are they just a part of the setting normally?

Gonna answer this now before I dive into the SB CDs I've... just not looked at for some reason yet...

The Meteor is a large question mark in universe generally speaking. As it fell, it was only detected very shortly before the impact, and when it hit, the quake was huge.

It sends blue waves of energy out at seemingly random intervals, with the first one happening seconds after impact. These waves spread out around the entire planet. Scientists don't really know what it's doing, it freaks people out and all they're figuring is mostly inconsequential. They learn within about a month that the energy in the waves hones in on whatever's moving at the time, so new guidelines tell people to lie on the floor whenever it's possible to stay as still as possible. They've set up a detection system and can now send public alerts shortly before the waves hit, but this is about it. In terms of what it physically is, the general populace has no idea.

What it's doing is generally interesting. It starts off very much overlooked and unnoticed. It makes very tiny changes that would never be noticed by anyone but one or two individuals. A nudge here, an opening there, or maybe a little glimmer of hope and magic over there... it's not clear what it's doing exactly until the more obvious stuff starts to happen.

A man has a cat tail. A woman has a three headed dog. A child's teddy bear made sure they didn't get lost. There was a report of a unicorn sighting on Thursday and a carousel pony whinnied at it's cheerful rider. Most importantly to the story, animatronics previously thought to be mindless and glorified action figures, have started to come to life.

Now, as with everything, this isn't met with no resistance. People are of course, scared of the changes and scared of what could happen. The Meteor has not harmed, but what if it did? What could it do?? Where did it come from and how do we stop it??? There's pushback, because of course there is! This shit is scary!

But more and more, opinions are changing from the lack of people actually getting hurt and the overwhelming positives they're experiencing. By the time the story starts, it's been going on for a while now. People are irritated by the waves more than scared, and how they treat what they create and what changes is almost entirely individual. There are some protections and support for those that are changed by the meteorite, but its effectiveness, how it's applied, and the specific criteria to receive it is uh... kinda varied? The criteria is more solid but generally, it's a fragile support system that's been developed for the general human populace and is being applied onto people that are more often than not, not human.

All this to say, that the meteorite has not changed individuals or society on a large scale like that. It does effect people and the world, but it doesn't go into a sort of 'perfect world' kind of thing that forcibly makes the world better. What it does is generally small. It doesn't really effect anyone that isn't directly involved, hence how before big visual changes started happening, what it was doing went largely unnoticed.

So, when this story would start, things would be in a sort of normal. How Roxy is treated by general society after her change is largely based on who she's interacting with. I've not really spoken too much I don't think about what Roxy's experiences outside of Eddie and Cassie are, but they're fairly mixed? I haven't really put her in many situations yet where she would need to interact much with other people honestly, and the few times I have? It's been one of Eddie's friends, part of Cassie's family, Vanessa, Fazbear staff or a general employee somewhere that isn't paid enough to care anyway. The only other interactions of interest she has at the moment, are like... with animatronics that wouldn't care what she looks like and random animals like the neighbours collie dog she plays with at the park sometimes.

I suppose the long and the short is, there are some people that are used to this stuff by now, are enthusiastic about it, fear it enough to avoid it, wary about it, and some that are too busy writing angry Twotter threads about how the government doesn't just explode the meteorite and stop this nonsense or something. Roxy is accepted in public spaces, but her experiences vary depending on who she actually encounters and what not.

In terms of the Meteorite, I've told you about as much as the general populace knows in this setting. It's changing things, making things real and giving little nudges here and there. Ultimately, these changes effect no one but the individual, and many people have come to realise that now. The Meteorite is not a public threat, but it certainly could be, and a lot of people want it gone, while a lot of people don't. It effects the entire world and it's opposition and defence ranges from location to location, but largely, whether everyone likes it or not, this has become the new normal.

Whether it stays the new normal, is anyone's guess, but this is just what they have to deal with now.

#meteors au #pop rox answers #yeah uhh I THINK I got the important stuff here? #the meteor is not the focus and none of the main cast are like... studying it and shit #researching? probably. #but they're limited to what they can find and are not able to get the full story #cause officials don't even have that lmao bit hard to tell the public when you've no idea #but then again... /eyes politicians/ #lmao no we're not getting into that #but YEAH #Roxy doesn't have a lot of permanent contact with a lot of people yet #if anyone wants an explanation on why I can give one cause I'm not doing it in tags #okay byyyeeee

hate how scared modern liberal movies are of making characters of color into antagonists of any sort? like i know it depends on what kind of story you want to tell, but if it's a "colorblind" story that's just like, "regency era, but diverse" or whatever and all of the people of color are the kind supporting cast, just go fuck yourself I'm sorry

#persuasion 2022 was sooo dirty w this #like... let actors of color play rancid people too? idk man i want to see characters. #i dont want to see you did the bare minimum and hired a few actors of color #like. in THE BOOK persuasion lady russell was lowkey a mean classist bitch #and they just.... didn't make her a mean classist bitch and just made her a kind mother to anne for nooo reason? #like also. sorry i didn't really super like gl*ss onion #(censoring just so it isn't in the tag) #bc like i get they wanted to critique billionaires. but... i dont think the movie was very smart to be honest #like it has a lot of nice funny details. but like. its all very on the nose and the pacing wasn't that great #and tbh i was like 'woah ballsy move to make leslie odom junior play some guy whose a complete suck up to a billionaire' #but like. he really was theeeeeee most harmless of them like. #this man was so insignificant to the story he was only needed to give exposition like 3 times #same w the politician woman like she had no fucking purpose to the plot #but especially with his character i felt like this could have been a great role but I think the director was too scared #of coming across racist to do anything interesting with the character at all? like what was he there for? #and like ive seen this man act this man is a fucking powerhouse of an actor you know #i was soooo excited that he was in the movie and he played like 'lowkey unimportant character number 3' like i was sooo mad abt that #like did viola davis perform her soul out on god knows how many seasons of how to get away w murder #just so that mainstream now is too scared again to cast people of color in non-'kind supporting cast 🥺' roles??? #like i hope i dont sound insane but i am sooo tired of this

three countries, different meanings for “middle class”.

united states: the bulk of families. office jobs and college education, able to live comfortably. live in suburban homes far from the city centre.

united kingdom: skilled lower class, urban workers. will never be upper class, not even through economic ascension (unless marrying up i guess). live in modest suburban homes with limited space.

brazil: the top 5% earners. not only able to live comfortably, but can afford additional expenses, such as travel, private healthcare, private education. either college educated or a public servant. live in wealthy vertical suburbs near the city centre.

#upper class in the us just means rich #like wasp rich #rich in brazil is middle class #other than middle class we have politicians #and 'empresários' which is what we call ceos #so like millionaires and billionaires #but i mean upper class is often synonymous with middle class here #the government tried to push middle class as the bulk of working families but in the common sense it still means rich #as for the uk #upper class status is hereditary so #you're either middle class working class an aristocrat or #noveau rich? i guess #nouveau #what is it really #but anyways like out of the social caste system #like a pariah #but different from the indian meaning #positively

[exemplarybehaviour]

I keep seeing people say things like this: "You know what does matter to the politicians, even more than us voting for them? When we DON’T vote for them."

No, absolutely not. This is not how the US electoral system works. Under the current system, only votes cast matter. Only people who are going to vote matter to campaign strategists.

The last election, less than 20% of my district voted. The 80+% of the people who abstained? Their opinions on the results don't matter. The system does not take them into account. They gave up their right to have a say. Some strategists for future elections might look at the numbers and say: wow, why didn't those people vote, and can we GET them to vote? But ultimately, the system is designed so that if only one person votes, that person gets to decide the winning candidate. You get the representatives voted on by whoever shows up to the poll.

If a candidate thinks you cannot be swayed to vote (because, for example, you've joined a weird anti-voting movement), then ther campaign is not going to cater to you. Their strategists won't care about you. Someone in the next cycle might try for your vote, but you are giving up your right to have a voice for this cycle.... and voters with a history of voting are more promising targets for any campaign strategies.

(Your actual vote is a secret, but they DO monitor that you have voted. This will affect how much annoying campaigning materials you will get, because they do target active voters.)

Also, "if I don't vote, that will make a point!" is just a stupid take in general. If you don't vote in November, and then Trump wins, what have you really done? Do you think the Biden admin will care, as they're leaving office? Do you think the Trump admin will care, as they enter office? Republicans want fewer people to vote! Your abstention will be nothing but a footnote in history about how Trump won.

#'is this vote shaming?' this is a made up and useless term #voting is your RIGHT which i encourage you to USE. i will never encourage you to give up your rights. #i would yell at you to vote even in a less important election #i yell at coworkers and friends every november!! #(actually i just write up a voting guide for our area. but same mood) #greatest hits

I sometimes wonder if a lot of people on the left just don't let themselves be consciously aware that yes, the people who back authoritarianism, fascism, and generally n*zi bullcrap will be voting. On all levels, local to national. All the time.

Because like, people who aren't authoritarian in leaning will argue. Will point out that there's cons and be depressed sometimes easily that there is no perfect candidate.

But- the very point of being an authoritarian is that once they choose their authority, they do what they are told.

They are told to vote by one politician they decided is on their side to vote for another one and will do it without many, if any, questions.

They're told to vote (illegally if it's during a service) by their pastor, by their boss, by their parents, by their spouse, by someone in authority over them that they have accepted as the authority, and they'll go out and do it.

Some of them can snap out of it if it really goes too much against some spark inside, but the whole thing of their wanting a simplistic us vs them world view where they can just sit back and do what they're told and feel better, comfortable, or even superior for doing it means that they'll go do as they're told and then feel good and superior about doing it.

This is how they've long-gamed the GOP to where it is today, that's what is meant when people say "the Republicans just go out and vote". They do that! And they vote without putting any thought into it, without stressing much about imperfections.

Non authoritarians/non-fascists are more likely to give up, or argue against candidates, or just be contrarian, and thus might rather shoot themselves in the foot when it comes time to just doing what is a civic duty to try and prevent the rise of what the other side will always, always turn out in their full numbers to back.

Even if they live in an area where theoretically they would be outvoted 20 to 2, they will show up 'defiantly' and cast their votes for the person they have been told by someone they have decided to trust told them to vote for. Even if they don't know a damn thing about the candidate other than two talking points from a campaign ad or that were talked about at the church social.

This doesn't make any voting at all useless, it doesn't make anyone who votes sheep. It makes voting absolutely required by anyone opposing them. Not 'instead' of community action and protests and letters or whatever the fuck else, but along with.

It means as long as there are any elections, yes, to avoid fascists winning elections 'fairly' (not gonna get into gerrymandering here,) people have got to show up and vote against them, because the fascist voters aren't going to take a mental health day or write in a joke or go third party. Some person whose authority clicked a little circuit in their brain on, who maybe got them riled up about <one thing> told them to vote for <whoever> and they are going to vote for <whoever>, regardless of whatever <other things> are out there being ignored as less consequential.

Ask an older generation of white South Africans when they first felt the bite of anti-apartheid sanctions, and some point to the moment in 1968 when their prime minister, BJ Vorster, banned a tour by the England cricket team because it included a mixed-race player, Basil D’Oliveira. After that, South Africa was excluded from international cricket until Nelson Mandela walked free from prison 22 years later. The D’Oliveira affair, as it became known, proved a watershed in drumming up popular support for the sporting boycott that eventually saw the country excluded from most international competition including rugby, the great passion of the white Afrikaners who were the base of the ruling Nationalist party and who bitterly resented being cast out. For others, the moment of reckoning came years later, in 1985 when foreign banks called in South Africa’s loans. It was a clear sign that the country’s economy was going to pay an ever higher price for apartheid. Neither of those events was decisive in bringing down South Africa’s regime. Far more credit lies with the black schoolchildren who took to the streets of Soweto in 1976 and kicked off years of unrest and civil disobedience that made the country increasingly ungovernable until changing global politics, and the collapse of communism, played its part. But the rise of the popular anti-apartheid boycott over nearly 30 years made its mark on South Africans who were increasingly confronted by a repudiation of their system. Ordinary Europeans pressured supermarkets to stop selling South African products. British students forced Barclays Bank to pull out of the apartheid state. The refusal of a Dublin shop worker to ring up a Cape grapefruit led to a strike and then a total ban on South African imports by the Irish government. By the mid-1980s, one in four Britons said they were boycotting South African goods – a testament to the reach of the anti-apartheid campaign. . . . The musicians union blocked South African artists from playing on the BBC, and the cultural boycott saw most performers refusing to play in the apartheid state, although some, including Elton John and Queen, infamously put on concerts at Sun City in the Bophuthatswana homeland. The US didn’t have the same sporting or cultural ties, and imported far fewer South African products, but the mobilisation against apartheid in universities, churches and through local coalitions in the 1980s was instrumental in forcing the hand of American politicians and big business in favour of financial sanctions and divestment. By the time President FW de Klerk was ready to release Mandela and negotiate an end to apartheid, a big selling point for part of the white population was an end to boycotts and isolation. Twenty-seven years after the end of white rule, some see the boycott campaign against South Africa as a guide to mobilising popular support against what is increasingly condemned as Israel’s own brand of apartheid.

rpf tier ranking

tier 0: actors. too easy. actors fall in love all the time due to proximity and amount of time spent together, especially if they are playing characters who are themselves in a relationship.

tier 1: bands (post-80s). writing songs together is incredibly intimate and requires emotional vulnerability. tours are great opportunities to spend a lot of time in an enclosed space together. sometimes they will sing into the same microphone at the same time so their mouths are close together which is basically making out if you think about it.

tier 2: bands (pre-80s). see above. however this requires slightly more mental fortitude because a lot of their fans will insist on their heterosexuality and get really mad when you say simon and garfunkel were kissing on each other or whatever.

tier 3: contact sports team. sports can be emotionally intense if you care about that sort of thing and obviously there are a lot of opportunities for intricate rituals wrt touching another's skin and locker rooms and all that. but this requires more imagination because there is less text (i.e. songs or correspondence) to use as evidence.

tier 4: solo artists. this is where things can fall apart. you have to choose both figures in the ship wisely and exercise a decent amount of creativity because they are not compelled to be together all the time (see above). you can cast a wider net but that lack of specificity may hurt those with weaker imaginations. also they don't always write their own songs.

tier 5: historical figures. this varies a lot both in terms of plausibility and social acceptability. depending on how old the figures are you could legitimately turn this into an academic dissertation if you wanted to commit that hard to it. however you may also come up against a lot of opposition among your colleagues. one must be intellectually prepared to present concrete evidence and argue one's point. (however, you are also more likely to convince people b/c the figures are old and dead and can't deny it. and probably didn't know what rpf is.)

tier 5.5: historical figures who have been fictionalized in media. this depends on the tone you take but unfortunately you will always be up against thomas jefferson hatsune miku binder as the starting point for the general public's thoughts on your hobby. so good luck.

tier 6: racecar drivers. if you are into racecar rpf i assume you are capable of seeing colors that are not visible to the ordinary human eye. they are literally in cars. the creativity required to wring a [romantic] narrative from people driving cars around a track is beyond my comprehension.

tier π: living politicians. you are a pariah among even your most deranged peers. no one respects you. you are categorically a weirdo and beyond help.
