I get what you’re saying, but I guess I am just idealistic and expect more from people, like being honest about the sources and influences of their works
Look, I am not saying both of these aren’t great works with their own merits, I am just saying that people aren’t exposed to different things and then live with cultural and racial biases.
That wasn’t exactly my point. There are examples of Epic tales from other cultures which people often don’t get exposure to because the main focus of western cinema or storytelling is Greek or English.
Edit why does it make sense for western cinema or storytelling to talk about other tales from other cultures? It’s just the right thing to do if something preceded you, or your work was influenced by it.
None of this is a competition as far as I am concerned, the point is just to find great ideas and stories.
Yes, science is a tool, and it’s a tool for getting towards a fundamental truth or basis of reality.
Otherkin don’t need to be a part of gender identity to be accepted.
Species are species, species are not different genders.
We don’t know currently how to change someone into another species, but maybe someday we might. We also don’t currently have any understanding or consensus of how to define a dragon or make people into one, but maybe someday we might.
Tbh, I don’t care if someone gets hormonal or genetic therapy to change into whatever they want or identify as, but by definition other kin is not part of a gender.
That’s not gatekeeping, I am simply saying words like cat, tiger or dragon etc are not genders.
I don’t follow how any of that even applies, but really just because you can’t face a reality doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In fact, one’s avoidant behavior implicitly acknowledges it’s true nature.
Rather, I’m saying that we cannot experience the outside world based on our current understanding of neuroscience.
This is an unnecessary constraint, just because we don’t know how to fully understand or explain something yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a basis in reality
I am tired of western Cinema jerking off to same old stories, which tbh aren’t the pinnacle of literature or storytelling. There are so many cultural epics which are deserving of the big screen, but unfortunately this western culture bias keeps the general audience from being exposed to any of it.
It wouldn’t matter, but the issue is then you have utter fucking illiterates and philistines who believe that only western writers, thinkers or philosophers came up with anything good. New flash, many, many of the western writers took their influence from non-western sources.
I think the binary form of gender is a social construct, but the entire spectrum of gender identity has a biological basis because you can change aspects of people’s gender by affecting them on a physiological basis, like with hormones etc. Identity expression isn’t always related to gender or biology, I think, and it doesn’t have to be.
Oh, to be clear, just because you believe in something doesn’t mean it has the same biological implications as gender identity. I hope I am not being rude or anything :3
The only reason why I’d say society doesn’t need to cater to individualized pronouns other than a set of agreed terms for flexibility and inclusion is so that every single time someone interacts with a person, they don’t have to work too hard to collaborate and cooperate.
Remember that everyone is trying to self actualize, and and any one person is not here to cater to just your preferences. Some people have limited mental capacity, so it’s just kinder to forgo imposing all of your self expressing desires on them.
If you can express yourself and live and thrive, then that’s all that matters. It doesn’t matter that you convince every single asshole that your pronouns should be whatever/whatever.
Tbf, he’s probably saying a lot of this because he’s experiencing prejudice for being an outsider, kind of like Steve Bannon at Harvard syndrome. People like that just want to burn the world when they find out that conservatives really only favor an in-group of their own kind, and people like them will never truly belong.
That said, hard fucking lol. The only reason India gets so much support is because US wants to prop up a puppet in SE Asia. Indians also get ahead on political fronts in America because they’re currently the “safe minority” and not scary Chinese, Arabs or Latinos. He’s literally a DEI hire for white supremacists.
Also, America has most noble prizes than any country. But dumb cunts like him will never admit that the public education and progressive policies in America favored it a lot. All of these conservatives should FAFO, but their bad ideas will only make it worse for vulnerable people.
Tbh no, in “normal” bad circumstances rich people like Trump escape a lot of suffering because they’re insulated by money.
The only time the uber rich suffer is when other uber rich or powerful target them, like look at the state of billionaires in China or Russia and you’ll know that money doesn’t mean shit in those countries.
American uber elites who want to create an Indian/Chinese/Russian like regime in America will suffer when they get that wish because right now they’re protected by the woke liberalism they hate so much.

Edit here’s one of the inspirations for Homers odyssey, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh
