As someone who's never watched either of them, what on earth is the controversy surrounding Steven Universe and Star vs The Forces of Evil? I've seen SU called racist and put on DNI lists and SVTFOE accused of normalizing genocide. I have no idea what that's about.

I never understood why people made fun of Joseph Kony back in the 2010s? From what I know, he was a bad guy who turned children into soldiers and made them fight and do awful things?

(Not a Wicked fan, I've never seen it, I know at most vaguely what it's about)

So people edited the poster for the new Wicked in a way that the new Elphaba's (i think that's her name) eyes and nose are covered, apparently it's supposed to resemble the original poster more. The actress (a Black woman) who plays her spoke up about it and said she found it very disrespectful and offensive, and people online did too, calling it rude and racist.

I am genuinely not trying to be offensive, but I don't see why everyone is calling that disrespectful or racist? At most my belief is that it might be odd/potentially discriminatory if it was prompted by nothing but a desire to replicate the original poster (even if it is more in a joking way) is genuine. Also, even if there's no reason for it, I can't comprehend why photoshopping an actress's eyes and mouth of a promo poster is offensive and/or racist? I don't think I'd care about it if I was in her position, and I really can't understand why people are freaking out about thsi.

What happened over there at Game Freak? All I’ve been able to dig up is something about a massive leak and Typhlosion and lore surrounding it? Idk how it all connects

What does the comment "why is the video --- hours long?" mean? I've seen it be used on TikTok or Instagram in reference to videos that are clearly just a few seconds long and I feel like I am missing some sort of joke or is it just something random that people say?

Is there any real difference between soft blocking someone and hard blocking them? I always thought that when you block someone, you block them, that’s it. Nothing more nothing less, they’re blocked.
