This reminds me of my early Lemmy days when I asked if I had successfully commented and someone replied "No, I can't see your comment" and for a second my dumbass believed them

I have skills beyond your comprehension

This is a placebo meme.

Studies have shown that placebo memes are still upvoted even when users are aware they're placebo.

My old person trait is when someone tells me what they mean, they better damn well be telling me what they mean, because I'm not gonna play mind games with them. If you tell me you're not upset then I'll believe you're not upset, I'm honouring you and your words and trusting that you're being upfront and honest with what you want me to know. And if you secretly are upset, it's not my responsibility to know that, you did not tell me.

It started as one easy to read bean can and I extended the transcription with every update.

Also I'm magic.

Beep boo- I mean you're welcome!

No, no, they're right. I mistook a black actor with textured hair for a lighter skinned actor who's hair was made to stand up as an intentional part of the scene. It's easier to tell the racial aspect I overlooked in some of the other sources people gave.

Maybe he changed it a bit for the scene, maybe he didn't, but regardless, wasn't my best call to word it like that. This one's on me.

100% agree. I appreciate it being addressed. Was never my intention to put down black and textured hair, and I'm glad someone called it out so I could correct it.

I really appreciate you raising the concern! I didn't realize he had naturally textured hair the first time, since my hair isn't textured (but likes to stand up on its own sometimes anyway haha) it's not something that crossed my mind. I'm glad someone said something so I could correct it.

That said, now that I know, I'll keep it in mind in future transcribing work, too!

Yeah, honestly my mistaken assumption that he was white combined with poor image quality lead me to think the hair was just a bit messy (mine does that in the mornings when I wake up), and that it was part of the scene in some way. I didn't want to leave out something that might be contextually relevant.

Checking out one of the other sources on the actor, the moment I saw him, I realized my mistake. Definitely his natural hair, and in normal lighting it looks a lot more intentional. His hair type isn't relevant if it isn't intentionally part of the scene, and that very clearly wasn't. So it's best to take it out.

If I'm being honest, I was a little iffy on whether or not to include it in the first place, but I was tired and fed up with Lemmy not loading properly so I just slapped it in and went for it without double checking. Looking back, probably not my brightest move. I'll be more careful about that sort of thing moving forward.

Yep! I guess with the image quality, I kind of assumed it was a bit like my hair was this morning (which also stood up on its own, and speaking as a person with wavy non-textured hair, was undeniably unkempt haha)

Looking in the other videos, it's clear what I overlooked, and you're definitely right that it's a totally different situation. Mine looks like a total mess when it does that, because it isn't supposed to. Textured hair naturally does that, and as a result, looks good doing it.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I wouldn't have even noticed otherwise. My brain just saw fluffy hair and thought he must be in the wind. My brain is not very smart sometimes.

As a 21 year old I would be offended but then I remember I just admitted my exact age on the internet

If the character was darker-skinned, I would've used textured hair, 100%. (Edit: I think I got confused by the lighting in this scend, I thought he had lighter brown hair and lighter skin. In the other interviews, it's clear it's naturally textured hair.) Given what I could tell from the character, I wasn't sure if it was non-textured or curly hair made intentionally messy for the sake of the skit, curly hair blowing in the wind with poor image quality, or the person's natural hair type. Especially given the fact that he was trying to get into somewhere that seemed closed, my guess from context clues was that he might not have had time to brush his hair.

I'm not sure which side is correct, or if it's appropriate to use "afro-textured hair" on a person who's natural hair type may or may not be textured. So for the sake of simplicity, I just removed that part of the transcription.

Didn't mean any harm with it, sorry for the confusion! Personally I've always found textured hair a both fascinating and gorgeous with what it can do, so had I known, I wouldn't have put it. (I was also writing it while on hold with the doctor's office, evidenced by how I wrote "engaged" instead of "Engadget" in another transcription haha. So it was also rushed.)

To be safe, I removed the hair description altogether. Initially added it because I thought it might've been part of the character's appearance in the skit. Given the rest of the character's appearance, I wasn't sure if it was textured hair or just curly/frizzy hair blowing in the wind with poor image quality, and whether it was an intentional choice for the source material or just his natural hair type.

I thought it was messy or blowing in the wind tbh, since he didn't look like a kind of person who would have textured hair. Looking further into it, I think I was fooled by the scene's lighting.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

This sets a dangerous example, and we need to talk about it.

If you punch a Nazi like this, you're going to break your wrist. Remember, make contact with the largest two knuckles (index and middle finger) and keep a strong wrist. You want to hurt the Nazi, not yourself!

Stay safe out there and keep punching Nazis.

This has been a public service announcement.

[Two images shown side by side. The first shows a young man in a black shirt standing on a crowded sidewalk, his hand raised above his head in the historical "Nazi salute" with a lightly smug expression. There is a person's hand holding up their middle finger prominently in his direction visible from the right side of the screen, but everything past their forearm is out of the image frame. In the second image, the same man in the black shirt is shown with his hand at his side, as a second man in an orange shirt is shown in the middle of punching the taller black-shirted man in the jaw. The fist of the man punching is angled slightly upwards at the wrist, so his fist makes contact at the knuckles on his fingers rather than using the flat surface of a typical punch. The image is captured before the man in the black shirt reacts to the punch. The hand holding up a middle finger is still visible in the right of the frame.]
