  • Pretty shitty in other ways but not nazi yea - I never listened to em much but I remember liking Deutschland from a few years ago. The music video had nazi imagery which caused some controversy which I thought was odd because…the entire song was about not being able to love the concept of “germany” because of all its horrid shit - hell the nazi imagery in the video had the band being executed in a camp. Didn’t strike me as an endorsement lol.









  • Oh he’s 100% a wasted character and an underwhelming plot device - wish he had more compelling ties to the story and characters, but purely from an aesthetic and action perspective he’s very well done IMO. Kid me was already on the shit that I currently love doing with fiction: I assumed he was just “some new dark jedi” that surely must have been doing evil somewhere in the huge expansive universe, and that his story had only started intersecting with the main characters’ now. Obviously it didn’t turn out anything like this lol.

    We never get any reveal about who he was or his race of people or faction or anything like that.

    On the one hand I love expanding the scope and feel of a setting by making it detailed and fleshed out but having a bit of mystery is key, otherwise you end up like a lot of new star wars, mcu, trek, etc. media that just has to explain every little thing you’ve ever seen on screen








  • Wasn’t my teacher but my brother had an AP world history class where the teacher couldn’t be fucked to pronounce Chinese names correctly - went off about “Zee Jinping pong [RACIST RHYME WITH PING PONG] who cares…”

    I had a libertarian history teacher in HS who had the class watch V for Vendetta and had the class do projects about it; she was convinced the regime in V was a leftist state.

    Maybe some people shouldn’t be allowed to teach impressionable kids.
