Honestly any name that is "Breath of [X]" or "[X] of the Wild" is absolutely not going to happen. It's lame and inelegant.

Tattoos are very personal but Imo most of them look ugly and even seeing the ones that look good, I still don't have any urge to put them on my skin. I used to think it could be nice to have one, but I've never found anything I actually wanted on my skin forever.

if youtubers count then I can give more recommendations:
Innuendo Studios

Renegade Cut

Patricia Taxxon

I would also say shaun, contrapoints, and lindsay ellis. They tend to make videos about media mostly.

I can kind of see why you wouldn't be into david pakman, I sometimes feel kind of the same about him, and I get annoyed by all of the product placement he does, also. But I think he is level-headed and rational

I think you need to define "disagreeing" here.

The title confused me at first but it's clear from their post that they're talking about people who say "I don't agree with homosexuality" (or transgender or whatever else) meaning that they disapprove of gay people

A director's cut is an edited version of a film and video game (or television episode, music video, or commercial) that is supposed to represent the director's own approved edit

It seemed like they gave him free reign over the game, so what's the point of this? I'm guessing he's just decided to add some extra content post-release (and post-coronavirus) and wants to cash in on the people who get excited when you say the word "director's cut"

Ranking them doesn't make sense, they're very different sites depending on what you want.

people hate on twitter because they think of some of its political arenas, but it's easy to avoid those and just browse the good memes and art

People hate on reddit because the voting system rewards groupthink, reposts, and karmagrabbing, and quashes dissension, but it's often the best place to find answers to questions and also has a ton of small-interest forums you wouldn't find on other websites.

Facebook is lame because of its data-hogging, its only saving grace is if you want to keep in touch with people. Don't use facebook

gamefaqs is redundant for getting help with games nowadays. It's really just good for speculation and discussion of games, and then of general-interest topics on CE, without worrying about getting downvoted.

I am probably the same age as you but it doesn't make me sad.

In any case, the 90s kids' time is certainly not over by any means. I mean haven't you seen how much pandering there is to 1980s nostalgia now? It's because the executives and screenwriters are largely people who grew up in the 80s. People born in the 90s are gonna be in the workforce for decades making media, so expect nostalgia-bait for the next few decades.

But yes, cartoons from the mid-2000s are old enough now that they can be revived as retro!

"america" is too vague. It sounds like you're talking specifically about American politicians. In which case I'd say for the most part probably yes, or at least if they don't RELY on us being stupid they COUNT on it.

If the question is about American corporations? Yes, absolutely, probably nearly unilaterally.

American entertainment? Some of it yes, other forms no.

American news? --Ironically, for many channels, yes, because they profit more by running alarmist attention-grabbing news than they would by running realistic news. Which is why government-funded news like in the UK is so much more reasonable.

Then there are other parts of america you could analyze -- law enforcement, american colleges, american workplaces/work culture, american food industry, healthcare, and so on.

I would say that drag is an act of gay/queer men obliterating gender nonconformity taboos through a performance of over-the-top, artificial femininity. Although the ultimate aim might be for the drag queen to love or accept themselves, the act of drag itself is a celebration of that liberating power of radical artifice. At no point does it reveal an "authentic" inner self, a concept that I even have some objections to in the first place.

Ok, maybe kids aren't all dilettantes that overanalyze everything like this, but I think it is confusing to use someone who represents the epitome of the external as a spokesperson for the inner self.

That's true that it's performative, a persona, and a bit ironic. But even so, they still help deconstruct toxic masculinity and are icons of the gay community nonetheless who've put in the work. And have earned their occasional position representing the community IMO. Anybody who is so boldly breaking gender norms can speak toward being comfortable expressing themselves how they want rather than trying to conform.

So would you be ok with pride being more universal? "All races, genders, sexual orientations should take pride in themselves"?

Ok now this is just "why isn't it ALL lives matter?" but for pride now

Yes, everybody should feel good about their sexuality, skin color, gender, and other traits. Just like how all lives DO matter.

But pride is something marginalized groups do to explicitly reject the shame that's been put on them for centuries. the reason we call for gay pride specifically is because gay people have been systemically targeted by bigots and made to feel ashamed of themselves for those traits for centuries, and straight people haven't.

Pride isn't saying "straight people shouldn't feel good about themselves" because it's not about straight people, it's about gay people taking agency and refusing to feel ashamed of positive traits.

Straight pride doesn't exist as a movement because straight people haven't ever needed to reject systemic shame.

Black people are more likely to be the victims of murder in general, that is not just a trans thing.

the rate of violence toward black trans women is more dramatic than what you would expect even taking that into account

On top of the higher violence rates, it's also to welcome black lgbt people who have historically been isolated and subjected to racism even within the lgbt community. There's no harm in making a version of the pride flag that acknowledges and welcomes black people.

personally I like the original six-color flag and I also like the version with the triangles. I think they both look good and I like that both versions exist.

Drag queens upset people so much for some reason

they break gender norms unapologetically, and revel in it. They act boldly and confidently. The derision people have for gender-nonconforming people bounces right off of drag queens because they revel in breaking the rules and aren't trying to appear "normal" to appease anybody. This upsets some people because they have no "ammo" against drag queens when they realize drag queens don't care if they don't approve of them

idk particularly after adding black and brown, LGBT+ seems more and more like an organization defined by it's omissions

putting black and brown on the flag doesn't mean black people count as lgbt

it just helps shine light on the specific experiences of black lgbt people. we also use that version of the flag to make black lgbt people feel welcome in the community, to try to combat some of the racism in the lgbt community.

There are many versions of the pride flag, that's just one of them.

It does not mean that black people are now LGBT.

Why are trans people and queer/trans PoC the only groups specifically named in the lyrics even when they immediately say that "every letter in LGBTQ+ is equal"?

because the six colors on a pride rainbow were designed to stand for those things she said they stand for.

And the trans + black segment were added on more recently to specifically include those groups, as an alternative version of the pride flag.

Why did they cast a drag queen to deliver a message about "loving who you are on the inside"?

because drag queens are all about loving who you are on the inside, even though they also enjoy the aesthetic of glam camp (which you mistake for genuine superficiality)

And yes it means a lot

You don't have to wait until a kid knows he's queer to tell him it's ok to be queer. You can tell them before then, so that they won't feel scared when they find out.

So when we go to pride marches and we use the modified flag, it's just a way of trying to make the community more welcoming to people of color.

No harm done. we gay people love celebrating communities at pride marches and making flags, even if it isn't exactly for our own.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it

There are many, many versions of pride flags for LGBT people and this is just one of them.

It's recognizing the similarities shared between marginalized people, suggesting positive inclusiveness, and recognizing that lgbt people of color face unique issues of their own.

Moreover, the ways they intersect matter a lot which is why it's good to have a flag with both of them represented. A good example is the high murder rate of black trans women in particular. Racism is still a problem including in the gay community. There's nothing wrong with having a version of our flag that includes people of color to make them feel more at home in the community.

personally I like the original six-color flag and I also like the version with the triangles. I think they both look good and I like that both versions exist.
