I feel like I’m the only one here eloquent enough to attack this preposterous stance, so allow me to gather my wits to plead my convincing rebuttal when I say:
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (that was hard to type on a smartphone)
I remember when I was added to the wheel group. The change was immediate. It was small things at first: a nod from a cyclist, an apple falling off a tree, the quickening of a hula hoop. But then it got more intense. Bikers would show up outside my house at all hours asking for small change. Beach balls kept ending up on my lawn. Someone defecated perfectly spherically on my doorstep. Friends started noticing my midriff, and made comments about the equator. I finally caved in and bought a camera, only to notice that it too was round. I reached my limit when Da Vinci’s virtuvian man would roll by in my dreams and I would awake screaming. I moved myself directly onto sudoers and haven’t looked back since.
I don’t think they did always (e.g. they dunked on women a lot), but I think their intent was to be more of an absurdist comedy using some known tropes to bond their audience (e.g. in 2000s, where women were dunked on a lot in popular media or portrayed in anti-progressive ways) rather than to propagate the trope itself.
WKUK were very anti-authoritarian, so I give them slack if they messed up along the way and punched down from time to time.
WKUK really does look bad out of context. Or in context. Or whatever, I love that show:
This interface is laughably terrible. For one, everything should be tabs: you should drag files from one tab to another completely blind. For another, I can see the scrollbars which is just bad. Further, there should be a giant ad at the header/footer which shills bitcoin. Finally, the password field shouldn’t be obscured but synced to our online Safe™ for easy retrieval at just 12.99 a month.
We’ve sure come a long way since those primitive days…
Cartoons back then were a little bit sambo so to speak, but the intent wasn’t strictly malicious, just uninformed.
You use the words/concepts you know to express something to an audience. If society tells you that native Americans wear headdresses, then you will likely add a headdress when introducing a new native american character, not neccesarily realising the damage of the stereotype behind it.
