#little pet peeve rant#ive got an extensive background in dance and seeing the memes about the breakdancers in the olympics sucks#like it takes so much training to do half of the things they do and to see it minimized to 'my dog in the yard' and 'give me a drink and i#can do that' is just like. come on.#like realistically it doesnt matter but it irks me just enough#its like the modern art 'i couldve done that' thing#and i think its only bothering me so much bc dance hasnt really had a place in the olympics#and seeing breakdancing getting this opportunity is just so cool#and breakdancing also has an extensive history in african american latino and other immigrant culture#so to see it mocked like that just stings enough to see all of that carelessness for the context around it

*Comes in threw the window*
Fam you could not believe how big that dinosaur post is a pet peeve of mine.
Because people are FUCKWITS and SO FUCKING STUPID-
*inhale*
Why are they letting movies dictate what they think animals are like at all? Are they that stupid? I know these are the same people that think "aw racoons 🥰 i want one" when they see a cute movie with pet racoons, then turn the fuckers into invasive species (see Japan*)
Or how theres this misconception that wolves are mindless killers that thank GOD is slowly shifting (thanks in no part to Hollywood where representing actually matters)
But fucking.
Jurassic park was based of some white guy with enough money and short sightedness to create a dino theme park and the folly of hubris.
Those dinos AT THE TIME of the movie were peek dino intel. They did SO much for paleontologist. But do they think we should know what a dino acts like? Looks like?
NO CAUSE THEYRE EXTINCT and doing their best! They probably would have had a BLAST putting feathers onto the raptors! Just cause they didnt know THEN doesnt mean they didnt do shit for dinosaurs yknow? And on top of that, yknow fucking what that could have also been a point! Like oh it coulda been an extra detail that these dinos are underfed and under watered because they're DINOSAURS and taking care of them would have BEEN THREW TRIAL and error!!! AaaaaaaAAAA
Ahahsgdhdjdhdjsjsjdu I was literally contemplating if I was overreacting over that post lolololol.
It's even more annoying because they acknowledge it in the films! They acknowledge that they aren't real dinosaurs and that they were just what we think/wannted them to look like and a mix of stuff. And then there's the artist perspective like I'm sure some of the design had to do with the capabilities of what they were working with you know? And those practical effects came out awesome! Like why yall mad????!?!
And heykey, not going to lie, I'm a little miffed that they put realistic looking ones in the new one cuz I feel like that's going to mess with the story plus it's unnecessary.
Dino purist irk me so much. Lololol
