they have now revealed another character for ride kamens, hayate, and it looks like he's a kr jin homage? glad they confirmed that it's not only titular riders getting representation, but still, a pretty off the cuff surprise for me
yeah, Jin is a welcome pull, but a pretty weird one! I saw the post when it dropped (don't ask why I was looking at twitter at 3 AM) and the replies were. very confused. :') nice to see some Jin rep though! and if this opens the door to characters based on more deepcut riders, all the better!
of course, if they really want to stay true to the spirit of Jin, we know what he'll be like

The petit-bourgeoisie ideology of "small businesses = good, megacorporations = bad" keeps beating your guys' asses like a drum. All small businesses aspire to become big businesses and are just as willing to fuck over their workers and their communities as corporations with millionaire white men boards of directors. If you think there's something inherently more moral or pure about "small" businesses vs. "big" ones you're not a socialist you're a reactionary who yearns for pre-monopoly capitalism.

Not to sound like a gatekeeping asshole or anything but the amount of people on Twitter being all like “omg wnba players are paid so little why is that” just now is like… yeah that’s kinda how it is?? Obviously I wish the players would be paid more and they can def do better in terms of coverage but like the league’s only been around for 30 years and stuff out of their control has been restricting its growth (bad media deals lol) so probably not the best idea to compare it to like the NBA bc that’s been around way longer

Some of y’all need to go back and learn what domestication is and how long it takes cause y’all really are out here gushing over and defending videos of dumb white people keeping wild animals like tigers and bears as pets all because they’re being fed from a baby bottle.

it's always really annoying when you're looking for diverse voices in a craft and the Very First thing they do is say "I'm not like other the other (minorities in this field) I'm a Real (craftsperson) who does the same lackluster and plain work as the cishet white men in it. This statement is progressive bc it helps me sup upon the boots of the majority."
Like it's Especially an issue with women who want to insist they have girl power bc they aren't like Those Other girls (whose work is being seen as lesser purely because it was made by a woman), they do the Real work (the same exact work but modeled after the men in the field).

The franchise model is about offloading as many of the risks of opening a new location as possible on some "small business owner" while also retaining enough control withOUT having to take on any responsibility for the employees your new patsy has hired

I need people to stop buying into the idea that "small business" = "ethical business." Many small businesses are wonderful, and absolutely deserve your support, but plenty others aren't. If you're genuinely concerned about where you spend your money, you have to do your due diligence even if a business isn't a mega-corporation.
The lady who owned the small business I used to work at was horrible to work for, gave free coffee to cops, treated us all like shit, and got pissed if you didn't worship the ground she walked on for giving you a job. I would never work for her again, and if someone asked me if they should apply to work for her, I'd tell them to run for the fucking hills. The turnover rate was atrocious when I worked there, and I wouldn't be surprised if she still burns through employees at an unholy rate.
Small businesses are just as capable of worker abuse as big businesses, and they frequently get away with it because people refuse to believe that their beloved Mom & Pop Shop is run by rancid assholes who think Jeff Bezos has the right idea about how to run a business.
Small business owners CAN be better! They CAN be pro-worker and pro-union! But it's not inherent, and small business owners can be some of the most abusive pieces of shit you've met in your life.
