Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Did you realize that there was a time long ...long ....ago when people paid for every thing with cash or a check
1·3 hours agolol. Real question then, did you know about the existence of Breakfast at Tiffany’s because it was a classic film, or because the song by Deep Blue Something made it relevant again in the 90s?

1·4 hours agoI knew it was Mickey Rooney because I’m old. Even before social media it was criticized. Like John Wayne playing Ghengis Khan it’s been ridiculed and brought up as an example of Hollywood racism for decades.

Also, when your committee looks like the Crypt Keeper’s family reunion, maybe don’t post profile pics.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's with black superheroes and lightning powers?
1·6 hours agoNot sure Thor counts as his origin is based on real world mythology that predates comic book superheroes by about 1000 years. Marvel may have fit him into their fictional world, but his powers and persona were established. Like DC using Lucifer. Their comic version isn’t quite the Biblical version but most readers are passingly familiar with the fundamentals of his character without needing a backstory.

That’s the rogue. They’ve already slipped their bonds but are waiting until the trolley is blocking the mage’s path to the rod so they can steal it.

2·9 hours agoHmmm… on this one I can only speak from personal experience but I would say that the bias of assuming men are into sports and using “catch last night’s game” as a conversation starter still holds. I think that just like with other cultures there’s context clues about the person that would also factor in to whether you thought the person might have caught the game. For example, I’m bi and my bff is gay, neither of us are effeminate and I think most strangers would assume hetero if you saw us hanging out in a bar. But we’re both punk rockers, and for some reason people rarely, if ever, bring up sports, usually a conversation starter is music or politics. I can see why people might assume an effeminate gay guy isn’t into sports however, since enjoying them does have a gender bias towards masculinity, even thought there’s plenty of CIS women who are deeply invested in it.

11·11 hours agoThe innuendo is not lost, and while pop culture plays up the stereotypes of fashion savvy twink or mustachioed leather daddy as the two options, there’s plenty of very average guys who do what we think of as average “guy” things, like watch sports, grill burgers, drink beer, go fishing, work on cars, do nerd stuff, obsess over dinosaurs and medieval history. I have no data to back this, just personal experience, but I’ve noticed hockey and pro wrestling tend to have a lot of gay/bi males fans. I’m sure gay NASCAR fans exist, never met one.

7·12 hours agoRight? We all know wars only end when the President dresses up in a pilots outfit and lands on an aircraft carrier to announce Mission Accomplished. The decades of slaughter after that are don’t count as “war”.
