I think a common mistake people make about puns is that they often believe puns are meant to make people laugh. This is not so! The emotion that puns are meant to elicit isn’t joy, it’s rage.
“My next D&D character will be serious, dark, & intense” I repeat to myself as I create a lizardfolk bard named Oxford who specializes in dual-wielding sickles, adaptive camouflage, & putting evildoers to sleep.
A kama-kama, karma coma, comma chameleon, if you will. 😘
honestly the reality that there are full grown goyische adults who participate in the south park fandom really wigs me the fuck out
i feel like i really can’t explain to gentiles the extent to which south park specifically introduced my peers to antisemitism as children, which they then directed at me, a fellow child
like, in a very specific and particular way, south park did a lot of damage to me as a jewish child
“but we make trans headcanons about the characters!”
make trans headcanons about something else
south park was directly responsible for me discovering, as a child, that gentiles i liked and trusted would target me for being jewish
and south park was directly responsible for me feeling like i had to laugh and accept it when they did
this was an extraordinarily negative thing for me as a person
i love this post bc it really upsets specifically the most annoying gentiles alive
i love this post bc the notes are almost entirely either “jewish people sharing how south park led to them experiencing antisemitism” and “goyim getting really upset about that”
Did You Know: In Saarthal, when Tolfdir says “I’ve never seen this in Nordic ruins before. Look at all these coffins!”, he’s referencing the ceiling rather than the tombs on the walls?
never once in my life and hours of gameplay have i ever looked up in this chamber
you could probably write a paragraph or two about how they could have led the player’s eye upwards in some way since this is legit some cool environment design but they just completely failed to cause the player to see it
They could’ve done better certainly, but like, “Gamers Don’t Look Up” is a super interesting psychology/design problem that game designers have to work around. You have to try really hard to make people look up. They just don’t want to do it. If you’re gonna put anything at all above line of sight of your players you better have the equivalent of a giant blinking arrow pointed at it or they will literally never see it.
They could have made a statue of some ancient nord hero and made it so big that the player has to look up to see it all.
