Miscasting the main characters. All of them are white, not Asian or black.

That's objectively wrong. Faye is Singaporean. Did you even watch the show? The ethnicities of the others aren't known.

All the characters have Chinese language ability since we see them reading Chinese at various points. That said outside Faye we don't really know if any are ethnically Chinese. Though Spike's involvement in the triads suggests some potential Chinese heritage. Ed has darker skin than the rest, but it's similar to the explicitly Amerindian characers and not the explicitly black characters.

It's written (eh-poe-nah) is the original Japanese versions and the name comes from this goddess:

Which is also pronounced similarly to the Japanese version. There is no case where it would be a long e sound.

In Japan it's basically just Netflix and Amazon Video. Between the two Netflix is better because it has more stuff and provides closed captions. American anime streaming was a mess. You needed Crunchy, Amazon, HiDive, Funimation, and Netflix. What a mess.

Does it account for position? Think the glass ceiling is a very real thing

Many studies that find a dramatic wage gape often combined unrelated positions (such as librarian and economist) into one category. The job a person chooses is influenced by gender and most of those jobs with a heavy female majority pay less than those with heavy male majorities (exceptions like Nurses and Veterinarians exist of course).

Making stuff up doesn't make it true:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War

The US administration had at first been indecisive with an "undertone ... of resignation to the invasion and even adaptation to it as a fait accompli" until the UK's prime minister Margaret Thatcher played a powerful role, reminding the President that appeasement in the 1930s had led to war, that Saddam would have the whole Gulf at his mercy along with 65 percent of the world's oil supply, and famously urging President Bush "not to go wobbly".[28]

Once persuaded, US officials insisted on a total Iraqi pullout from Kuwait, without any linkage to other Middle Eastern problems, accepting the British view that any concessions would strengthen Iraqi influence in the region for years to come.[77]

On 29 November 1990, the Security Council passed Resolution 678 which gave Iraq until 15 January 1991 to withdraw from Kuwait and empowered states to use "all necessary means" to force Iraq out of Kuwait after the deadline.

A coalition of forces opposing Iraq's aggression was formed, consisting of forces from 34 countries: Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Spain, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the US itself. It was the largest coalition since World War II.[96] US Army General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. was designated to be the commander of the coalition forces in the Persian Gulf area. The Soviet Union also supported United States intervention.

Although they did not contribute any forces, Japan and Germany made financial contributions totaling $10 billion and $6.6 billion respectively. US troops represented 73% of the coalition's 956,600 troops in Iraq.[97]

Okay, you can keep circle-jerking to the big bad US all you want. It's never going to be relevant to the Kuwaiti invasion being wrong and something needing to be done about it. The US wasn't even going to take part initially, other countries had to convince them to. Too bad they did take part, if the Soviets led it instead you would probably be praising them as heroes of the people for liberating the oppressed Kuwaitis

What if the U.S. could've stopped it beforehand by not funding saddam's country. Would this not be a better course of action than warfare where casualties are common?

The entire reason it happened was because they didn't have enough money and owed too much debt. Funding was the opposite of the reason why they did it. And once they invade Kuwait it doesn't really matter again. You keep wanting to go back in time to try to justify future events because something better might have been possible in the past. None of that mattered once Kuwait was invaded. It happened and sitting around whining about past actions wasn't going to help them. I'm glad you don't have power in the US because you would be an awful leader sitting around whining about every possible reason why a problem happened to justify it instead of dealing with it.

Knowing what contributed to a problem is great for preventing it from happening in the future, but it doesn't justify not solving a problem.

Another question is invasion of Iraq the only means to liberate Kuwait? Could something have been done sooner or was this the only means of said liberation?

Why don't you read at least a Wikipedia article or something because you clearly have no idea what was going on. Kuwait even tried paying them 9 billion not to invade and Iraq invaded anyway becasue they wanted more money.

So youre saying as long as the U.S. has the right intentions, it doesn't matter that they support most of the world's dictatorships, including saddam's. Good to know.

I am saying it doesn't matter who did it. Liberating Kuwait was the right thing to do, and guess what no one who liberates a country has pure intentions. If Kuwait was an enemy of the US they likely wouldn't have done anything to help them. The Cold War was full of people supporting sides for all the wrong reasons. That's how it often works, but when the world can get together to agree on something being wrong like the invasion of Kuwait it doesn't really matter what one particular country did in the past, because you have to deal with the current issue. I'm sure everyone in the UN could have sat around whining about bad things all of them did before, but it wouldn't have freed Kuwait.

It's not "the U.S. did bad things". It's more of "the U.S. supported saddam's reign, which would eventually lead to the incident in Kuwait" like what happens in areas of the world that the U.S. has supported. That's what you're missing.

I'm not missing that. I'm saying it literally doesn't matter, because it doesn't justify invading Kuwait and even if the US didn't take part in the coalition the world would have still done something because Iraq had no allies. Your entire hatred of it stems from the US participating. Why don't you complain about France participating since they were a much larger ally of Iraq prior to it than the US was? And what did you want to happen after the invasion? Kuwait to continue living under a foreign occupation that was looting their country and comitting crimes against civillians?

I'm talking about the latter because it feeds the former. You seem to be ignoring it and starting with Iraq invading Kuwait and I don't know why.

Because it doesn't matter what the US did, as it didn't justify invading Kuwait. Someone had to liberate Kuwait, the whole world wanted something to be done to help Kuwait, you are angry simply because the US took the lead. It's completely irrational.

I never said it did, did I?
We can't simply ignore the U.S. role in Iraq before Kuwait. It would be disingenuous to do so. Nothing about what I have said shows anger towards the U.S.. I'm simply speaking on it because that's where I'm at currently and I have the most influence.

Never said we had to ignore it. The entire argument presented here was that the Gulf War was somehow not justified because the US did bad things. You can try moving goalposts are reframing it, but the entire premise is idiotic and seems to stem from people not realizing the Gulf War and Iraq War are not the same thing.

It doesn't matter. You keep making these whataboutism arguments to try to say it's okay for Iraq to do bad things because other countries do them too. You seem like you just have an irrational hatred for the US to the point where even when the Soviet Union, China and Iraq's own allies all managed to all go "hey this is bad and you need to leave Kuwait" you still want to somehow side with Iraq. Both sides comitted war crimes in World War II, so are you going to call the Allies hypocrites for fighting the Axis? Many of those countries were even US allies not long before.

So because the allies of the U.S. went in with them to "liberate" Kuwait, they makes it okay? I'm not sure I follow you here. Furthermore the U.S. heavily supported Iraq and gave them military weapons with which you would argue they used to invade Kuwait. So, are you saying that the U.S. Should have done something because it was partially our fault?

The UN voted to have action taken to liberate Kuwait. It was a coalition of prominently US allies, but you seem to think that because some countries have done bad things, that means Iraq should have been given a free pass to do the same, which doesn't make sense.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm asking on what grounds could the U.S. Or its allies attempt to invade Iraq for Kuwait but leave the U.S. alone after what happened in several Latin American countries. In fact the un actually condemned the U.S. on what they did but action against us was vetoed by ourselves to what really is the un anyway?

That's whataboutism. I'm never going to justfiy US attorcities because I'm not an America apologist. They have done shitty things, and I don't live there or have any incentive to justify their bad actions. We're talking about Iraq invading Kuwait right now. Even if the US did nothing other countries would have still done something. It's strange you focus so much on the US and ignore all the rest of the world condemning Iraq.

Also why is "liberate" in quotes? It was occupied by Iraq and they were doing terrible things to Kuwait:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Kuwait#Aftermath

Also notice:
"The Iraqi invasion and occupation of Kuwait was unanimously condemned by all major world powers. Even countries traditionally considered to be close Iraqi allies, such as France and India, called for immediate withdrawal of all Iraqi forces from Kuwait.[55][56] Several countries, including the Soviet Union and China, placed arms embargoes on Iraq.[55] NATO members were particularly critical of the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait and by late 1990, the United States had issued an ultimatum to Iraq to withdraw its forces from Kuwait by 15 January 1991 or face war.[20]"

Not just the US and its allies. Every major country was opposed to Iraq's invasion.

It was liberating Kuwait and basically the entire world was on board with it, since Iraq attacked Kuwait because they wouldn't give them enough money (made even worse by the fact that Iraq actually owed Kuwait money).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War

Notice the lack of allies outside of terrorist groups on Iraq's side. They also comitted war crimes in Kuwait. You can disagree with a variety of actions during the Gulf War, but someone had to do something about Iraq invading Kuwait.

Good old Japan. Western feminism hasn't quite caught on to there yet. Globalization though is another matter.

It likely never will because of the way it tries to go about changing things being counter to the Japanese way of doing things.

They need to get hostess clubs in America. You guys are getting ripped off.

They actually do exist, but are a very small industry. The cultural difference between Asia and America seems to play a big factor there. I guess Americans are more happy with the boobs on strippers and the sex from prostitutes, rather than the status that comes with women paying attention to you, pouring your drinks, and asking about your work.

It's really a lot more than that. They are true masters of conversation. They don't just ask us how our work was, they talk about everything. Thankfully the coworkers I go with are all decent guys (and sometimes gals actually) and don't make dirty jokes the whole time. But I mean in general the attention I get from women I am dating and what you get at a host club are on another level. Meanwhile people in America are paying some streamer who has to pay attention to dozens of people at once and is about as good at conversation as a random person off the street. Just seems like a bad deal. I mean we know most of the hostesses are married or in a relationship or whatever, but there is no illusion you will be dating them. The whole thing is just so professional.

I don't think it's even remotely true that the average American's lifestyle is only possible because of the exploitation of other countries. That's some propagandist nonsense.

Where were your clothes made?

A country that has had a rapidly increasing standard of living and average wages as it has gained access to international trade and global markets. I assume you're going for the sweatshop argument, but in reality developing countries like Bangladesh that are associated with outsourcing and this type of labor have had their standards of living dramatically improve over the past few decades. Progressives are dead wrong when they push the whole "sweatshop labor" idea in the developing world.

I'm a capitalist, I think it does more to help the poor than any other system, but if you seriously think we could afford to produce the products we consume in the first world without exploiting the different legal enviroment that exists in other countries you are completely out of touch with reality. No one would make products for consumption half way around the world and ship them here if all markets were operating under the same legal environment. Economies of scale would not offset the shipping costs if labor costs were the same in the country the product is being manufactured for. The same thing happens with our plastic waste. China doesn't want it anymore and now all of sudden we don't know what to do with garbage we used to ship halfway across the world because we can't process it here economically without breaking our own environmental regulations.
