  • Oh you're saying that this is about right wingers who think the Last Samurai is okay (while Ass Creed isn't).

    ... That... makes sense. Huh. I hadn't seen it that way.

  • That's presumably the beginnings of an awareness of why that narrative is problematic. And also of the importance of historic accuracy. His role in the narrative was that of a saviour though. (Also, he survives.)

  • And even then, there were people who were uncomfortable with a narrative of some heroic white dude coming in to save the exotic natives. Just wasn't a very popular opinion.

  • There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it's not a current movie, but saying that it's "okay" suggests you they haven't looked for criticism.

    Also, weary.

    Edit: clarity.

    Edit2: I have since been made aware by @SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world of a different perspective that makes a lot more sense, see comments below.

  • Those two people just need to agree on one way to express a thought, whether that way "makes sense" or not.

  • Bad argument, what counts is how a term is actually used, not what it meant originally. (No I'm not saying OP is right)

  • Pssst, don't let Elon hear.

  • Well... Yes but... oh go post a letter. ;)

  • What are you talking about? There are now six (6) parties in the Bundestag, that's a long way from 2. If anything, it might be a bit much.

  • Yes but how many of them are Blade Runner's car?

  • I'm going to watch so many people play that. (I am abysmally shit at first person shooters, not to mention too socially awkward for multiplayer)

  • Wouldn't you guys just be getting that other fucking face instead, even more than now?

  • Kids these days will be easy prey for the Goblin King.

  • Doesn't work, "20th century" as a term is synonymous with "modern". "The xx00s" is automatically "a long time ago".

  • Thank you for pointing this out, I shouldn't have just skimmed the nonsense.

  • Which is probably why they do still sell these dictionaries, just not nearly as many as they used to.

  • Let me guess, you don't watch リック·アンド·モーティ.
