2016 was a different time lmao, it’s so bizarre to see how humor changed over time. The fact that it’s all improv really puts it into perspective too
sorry i made you uncomfortable though, I didn’t mean to
No worries! I just hate seeing shit like that but you're right, its crazy how much things have changed in a few years although alt right/far right and thus neo nazis are making a come back again like back in 2016 and growing really strong again.
I am so tired of dealing with racism on a personal level, I experienced SO MUCH of it in high school because of being brown skinned and starting high school around when 9/11 happened, even though I'm in the UK too not USA!
I also originate from Africa too so that was like double barrelled ammunition for racists, bullies and anyone who just hated me anyway too. There was an African lad who joined my school and thus my school year some late years into high school but to try to gain popularity and avoid being racially bullied or just bullied anyway, he would hit/attack me as a "joke" and try to make me look bad to make himself look good by comparison and "one of the lads", "on their side" and such so the racists would think hes "ok" despite not being white too. I think there was just more hated towards Asians at the time too due to 9/11 as the other Asians I knew there gravitated towards bullies as friends and acted like bullies themselves at times to protect themselves too. They were much nicer on their own though.
I've also had harassment from a blatantly racist but never likes to admit it narcissistic psychopathic neighbour for years now who has tried to accuse me of all kinds of things, including feeding his pigeons some fucking curry to try and kill them?! Fucking insanity lol.
Hes literally still holding a grudge against me for years now that he still brought up recently based on something I said to him years ago after he harassed me so much and he keeps trying to falsely accuse me of shit I havent done and get me into severe trouble for nothing.
He's one of those typical white supremacist, nationalist and thus truly racist but never to your face unless he says by accident whilst drunk or running his mouth too much anyway or he feels confident enough to whilst hes aloen with you or so! A real slimy coward like Orochi, Spandam, Wapol etc.
Thank you anyway! I tend to prefer watching older movies and shows and the things I notice now make me so uncomfortable, certain things being said and not taboo back then, certain patterns and stereotype mocking and such.
Ray William Johnson brought back his cringy, midlife crisis, manchild band recently after years and seeing the shit they made years ago and trying to promote including some truly fucking awful and even I believe some racist stuff at one point just makes me cringe and want to crawl up into a ball, especially with how asinine and derogatory it is!
I'm really starting to become a grumpy boomer but I've always felt like a grumpy old man for years now haha. Just getting a lot more outspoken about it now due to my age and being so fed up and exhausted with so much BS in the world.
I was kinda laughing at it too, the video you send as it is accurate tbh, stereotypes do tend to have their accuracies, their inspirations after all but its not the stereotype that bothers me as much as the fact that a lot of racist people will use it as ammunition, they will be encouraged by it and such. It might breed more ignorance and cause more racism/xenophobia in more younger, impressionable and thus ignorant and inexperienced minds but I might just be paranoid and overthinking it lol.
I just got really traumatised by so much racial abuse when I was younger and also from my neighbour too. Even at some places I worked at and such, I feel I was probably being targeted by covert racists like my neighbour but people over here are so good at putting on false personas/facades and hiding what they think really think and feel about you and pulling an "et bu brute" on you when your back is turned and they especially have got enough people on their side against you.
I'm really rambling but I really hate racism almost more than anything maybe in the world. Hating people for the way they look, for their skin colour just makes me so fucking sick tbh. I saw a clip of American History X and "curbstomping" and that fucking hit me to my core, it broke me so much.
An The Office type scenario would be very funny though for here, especially with the staff here! I could totally see certain mods at least being like The Office except everyone is the "straight man" and TAC is the one causing all the shenanigans and such but TAC is still the protagonist?
I've barely seen The Office but a mockumentary type situation like that would be great for here!

I'm fine with elevators but escalators terrify me for some reason
Can't explain why but holy shit they make me nervous.
Going down on one is worse than going up
I think its because of the pull of gravity as you go down, you get that lurching/sinking feeling, like you're free falling or drowning quickly even lol. Like being pulled under. You're not fighting against gravity so much but moving towards it so to speak, towards the centre of attraction which is the Earth's core ofc and thus you will sort of "accelerate" as you get closer to the ground and gravity's effect is stronger on you.
I have exactly the same problem tbh. I get major issues with vertigo which doesnt help! (I have SO MANY phobias that I may as well just not exist because its so stressful for me hahaha! Doomer/MeIRL/Nihilism memes, ho!)
