I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.
it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"
plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.
anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

Of course post-canon odysseus and penelope love each other (they are a little bit insane about the other. Neither is allowed to leave the others side for months after odysseus gets back. They cycle between sobbing on one and another and aggressively making out. ) but it's true that they have both changed. It's been twenty hard years after all. So
Odypen courting each other again just for the fun of it. Odypen deciding to act like teenagers again and make elaborate plans pretending to sneak into the others room.
Odysseus sending penelopes 90 year old dad a letter challenging him to a race for penelopes hand in marriage. (This does not go over well but penelope though it was hilarious)
Odysseus begging Athena to help him win penelopes heart/hand again. (Athena: What no why you're already married I don't understand you ) (she helps anyways)
Penelope weaving all of odysseus's clothes. Penelope hauling out every tapestry she made of telemachus's childhood (she made one for every year. To gift odysseus on his birthday when he returned.)
Odypen leaving telemachus incharge while they go off on dates (to harssass, cause problems, and badger other people into giving them things). It should be fine Athena has been sticking close to the house lately. And it's only for an afternoon anyways (at first. Headcanon that penelope came with odysseus when he had to go plant the oar and call it a windmill quest.)

Like that patent seems broad enough that they could use it against the fucking Persona series. And I mean it wouldn't be infringement since it's Nintendo but you could argue Echoes of Wisdom violates it by having Zelda use her staff to collect creatures she can summon in battle. Nintendo is way outta line on this one. They could have had something of a stance on the design front if they could actually prove the models or other assets were taken from their games and only edited slightly but trying to say they own the concept of a creature collection game where you use an object to collect and battle with creatures is like SquareEnix saying because they made Final Fantasy the own the rights to the concept of a fantasy JRPG, like this is an insane president to set that will have lasting negative impacts on the gaming industry. I can think of like five hugely popular games where you collect and battle with creatures, like are you gonna go after Dragon Quest and Digimon now??
Like I am iffy on Palworld and the company behind it for the AI shit and I will admit the designs are uncomfortably close to Pokemon, like they are def dancing pretty close to the copyright line visually and it's on purpose, but Nintendo/Game Freak choosing to ignore all that and instead say they own the rights to creature collection as a concept and claiming Palworld made them lose money when Pokemon is one of the most profitable IPs in history and there is NO WAY Palworld could come even remotely close to pulling in the kind of money even one single generation of Pokemon games could is genuinely concerning.
I'm not trying to defend Palworld, but I am saying Nintendo is going way too far and pulling some legal tomfuckery here and you shouldn't excuse it just because it's against a game/studio that you already don't like. This is very quickly going to stop being about Palworld and I do not like most of the directions it could possibly go down.

Hiccstrid really gave me whiplash when I was younger
Like, I watched httyd 1 and was like “Hiccup and Astrid are definitely dating now”
Then came RoB/DoB and they WEREN’T dating?
Then httyd 2 and “now they are in a deeply committed relationship?!?!” Okay okay good that is what I wanted all along
Rtte… “THEY’RE NOT DATING!?”

Assen 2016: Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi talk about the race the year before and the final chicane, as well as resurfacing of the chicane and the track familiarisation laps they both completed. Later, Marquez, Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Alex Rins are asked about the Euros game the coming Monday between Spain and Italy. (See also Marquez cutting the final chicane in the warm-up session.)

Hana Yori Dango spy x family!AU where Tsukasa is a spy and Tsukushi is an assassin (so she is still poor) and they adopt Damian Desmond who isn't a telepath or anything he is just normal Damian. And he looks at Tsukushi and is like "She is not going to be my mother she is poor!" and she scolds him and he starts accepting her. Don't ask me how he gets adopted. You know what? Let's cut the spy and assassin stuff, just keep the adopting Damian part and see how it plays out. Follow me for more cringe crossover concepts 👍

#just some vent art idk#vent#vent art#...........................................................................................................................................#............................................................................................................................................#the initial start was unclear#i got ready for my class like usual and my dad's mood was entirely unreadable#usually in these situations i have an internal debate thats goes something like#“is he in a good mood? is he in a bad one? is his eye irritated again? maybe he's still waking up?”#its a 50/50 kinda deal#sometimes he's emotionless until right when im dropped off and he says “have a good day! love you!” in his nice way#today there was nothing#i just got out of the truck and just as i was closing the door i barely heard a “love you” in a monotone voice#i thought nothing of it bc i did some work before class and my mood lightened#afterwards i went to the lounge and they were doing another event thing that offered free food if you did it#the food was greek food so i figured it wouldnt hurt. i got the food#it was awesome ngl and it really made my day better#then dad picked me up....#he was still unreadable but i could tell his patience was low just by the way he was driving#its crazy and kinda sad that i can immediately tell what mood he's in even through the most mundane change#but about 5 minutes into the ride my mind was a racing mess. i kept asking questions#trying to gauge what mood he's in. he wasn't projecting or groaning like he usually does so o figured maybe he's just wanting to get home#to my surprise we didn't immediately gi home: we went to his old work (family owned business)#when we got there I can't describe the relief i felt to be with other people. especially my grandmother#i did some refund stuff while we were there. dad also seemed to lighten up and things seemed fine#but when we got back in the truck it was back to being tense. we still didn't go home- we went to the bank so he could cash a check#but otw there he mentioned his birthday is this Saturday. i said i knew and that I'd be happy to spend the day with him if he had something#planned. bc id loke to spend time with him on his bday instead of my Granny's Halloween party (which i still enjoy but yknow.. dad)#there's an awkward silence and then he just goes “i guess based off your silence you're not interested in what i have planned for my birth-#day?“ perplexed i said ”i am- im just waiting for you to tell me“
