#native american stereotypes

[fandomshatepeopleofcolor]

Sorry to bother,I'm not sure if you're into video games or Street Fighter for that matter but what do you think of Lily's design?

https://youtu.be/iinUF7liyNg

I'm not honestly a fan of it,her design is stereotypical and not good.for context she's native American

so full disclosure I'm not native american I'm indigenous mexican but really mixed and I don't even know what my tribes are sooo.... I'm not an authority. I will only post this with my own uneducated perspective I don't play with many fighter games and I haven't played street fighter that wasn't at an arcade since like the 90's lol.

one thing to know about the street fighter franchise is that they're ALWAYS stereotypical. its like they want the most offensive stereotypes. that isn't to say I'm excusing this but just the opposite please be aware you're going to be offended by the trailer.

these are my first impressions:

she does several spread eagle leg moves with an upshot to her crotch.

she's basically wearing like these panties with a poncho type thing and some booties with fringe so.... its very fanservicey

please followers don't comment if you're not indigenous. I know I commented but its only with the expressed purpose of preparing my followers for the offensive images they're gonna see.

(like my kind of games are like stardew valley and sims and most recently I quit mass effect because I was dying at this one planet and didn't have to spoons to keep trying lol)

mildly entertaining pjo fandom curse (mostly in that you can make games out of it):

everybody draws Piper showing skin. half the time Shel as well. literally almost EVERYBODY. go look at Piper fanart. is she wearing a crop top? i bet she is. or if she's wearing a dress hers is gonna be one of the most revealing. bonus points if they gave her a belly button piercing. and it's almost always only Piper and/or Shel. i thought we had a whole discussion about sexualizing young indigenous girls back in like 2021 but i guess nobody processed that part cause pjo fandom acts like if they dont have Piper show her stomach or have her shirt ride up they'll die.

the curse is that you will never unsee this. have fun with that.

Mikusona Monday!! I tried to do a native themed one, most of my references based off of makah outfits and my own experience seeing and wearing native dance outfits!

grit my teeth and hold myself back from fighting someone every time i see the sentiment of "wow can you believe people actually think nightheart is sexist? and that liking nightheart makes you a misogynist? how crazy is that lol" out in the wild. nooooo that's not what the discourse actually was. you have fallen for the dismissive surface level takeaway people had from a genuine discussion about wider trends of misogyny in the writing, that makes said criticisms out as irrational and hysterical as possible. you will now associate any criticisms of misogyny in the series with this hyperbolic strawman

There's a lot of bigoted, very specifically racist movies where white people are like "lets remake/rewrite x movie!" Like i don't know how to tell you that if you tried to do that, the rewritten version would be completely different & unrecognizable because it's central plot/themes/etc rely on racism at their core

pnf revival hope: no more of this shit

hey so has anyone else noticed how the fandom has shrunk boothill down to "redneck who hates the ipc." or is that just me

[prettyboykatsuki]

hey fang! what are ur thoughts on the us? thinking of moving to nyc or sumn from sydney but im idk any americans and i’m south-asian and i wanna how the vibes are over there

in general this is hard for me to answer because the united states is so incredibly culturally diverse. like. dkhfhakjsf. the east coast is so so vastly different from the west coast which is so so vastly different from like my part of the midwest. like truly this is impossible to answer but ill say for the most part i am more fond of the us then i am critical of it. i am very thankful that i grew up as a diaspora kid.

if not for the constant thread of danger i would probably like it more hjshdjfsdj. i think the level of exposure you gain to different cultures and cuisines living in any major city is a really unique and good part of america that im deepy fond of. like the diversity and amount of places you can go rules and the sense of genuine individualism you are allowed to have is liberatin

depending on what kind of south asian u are though u will find a lot of community in diff parts which is cool. and also mexican food. like if you come for nothing else lol

ive never lived outside of the states but i have traveled to other countries and im always happy to come back home if that gauges anything. idk if i recommend living here permanently but it is worth the experience to live here for a bit i think

remember when archie sonic made the echidnas british colonizers and not only were n*zi echidnas introduced but the guys they were actively being racist against (the dingoes) were portrayed as pissy bad guys, "appropriated" the echidna's technology (despite the echidnas themselves appropriated their land) because they "couldn't create technology of their own" and also more n*zi caricatures too

and then the spirit of one of their colonizers banished them to desert superhell

i always find it funny when ppl describe sasappis as the voice of reason. i mean, that man has never said anything reasonable in his life. he is purposefully as unreasonable as possible. just for fun.

The Deadman Walking tornadoes are not part of any Native American beliefs, people just assume it is because it's spooky and associate that with brown people. If someone makes a post saying "I'm not sure which native american tribe says this-" that's usually a sign they are talking out of their a**

I'm so sorry I'll go make a note of it on the post! you're here because of this reblog

i had a dream that i opened a book and with the text there were printed photos, which played like videos with each scene when you looked at them. the videos were of a stage play about julius caesar, and it was called 'Great Braves.' one of the actors was ray stevenson (looking as he did when he played that soldier in BBC's Rome) and his line that i remember was an exuberant "We will be as great braves," in reference to some battle the men were going to embark on

I have literally no idea where this came from but it was a pretty rousing performance. quite Shakespearean

Really funny how More Fun Comics #73 introduced two of DC's most popular superheroes, both of whom had wildly different Golden Age origins than any other origin since, and yet both origins are on completely different axis of 'would be cool if they were an Elseworld story someday'.

To whit, Aquaman's Golden Age origin sees his father as an undersea explorer who discovers the ruin of Atlantis, and uses their advanced technology to grant his infant son the ability to breathe underwater and communicate with sea-life. I'd be really interested in a modern take on this idea - I did see a fanart a few years back that reimagined Golden Age Aquaman as a tech hero, old-school divers suit and all, and hell it would even be cool to have an Aquaman story not focused on Atlantis, but instead on Aquaman as Protector of the Seas.

On the other hand, Golden Age Oliver Queen is a white guy who has... ahem, ""gathered"" a huge collection of Native American* artifacts and cultural relics, which he keeps for himself and used to train himself in archery and the like, before all of the artifacts are destroyed when criminals burn his house down. Oliver seeks out a secret, long-lost Native American* city and runs into Roy Harper when his plane crashes. Roy has been on the island the city is buried under for years, with his only companion being Quoag, his Native American* ""manservant"" who talks like every racist Asian caricature from the Golden Age because I guess the writers were too used to writing WWII propaganda to be creative in their racism. Anyway, thieves show up, Quoag dies and is immediately forgotten, they force in some really painful references to Green Arrow and Speedy (like, if you thought the reasoning for Speedy's name in Arrow being 'Oliver's sister does drugs' was painfully forced...) and eventually Oliver and Roy find the Native American* city, which is made out of solid gold because... reasons. Rather than tell anyone about it, Oliver and Roy decide to dismantle the city, sell it brick by brick, and use the money to become wealthy, and also fund their superhero exploits because apparently they decided that was a good idea.

If DC ever brings back Golden Age Oliver Queen under any circumstances and the story doesn't end with Modern Ollie and Roy teaming up to shank him and redistribute his wealth, I'm going to kill someone.

*I say 'Native American' knowing that it's incredibly broad, but the comic doesn't offer a specific group. It also... doesn't call them Native Americans, which I'm pretty sure you can guess.

Been reading a book about the development of the English language that includes chapters related to English languages/dialects and their impact with class. Thinking about how much people freaked out and made it a meme/joke that Prime Wars Overlord had a US Southern/"cowboy" accent. About 🤏 this close to deciding to write all of my stories going forward with all characters speaking Texas-accented English as the default instead of Standard English going forward bc I'm annoyed about my accent family being treated like a joke and/or used as a sign that horrible things deserve to happen to them

I feel like the ai art convo can be really nuanced, but one thing I don't like (& this is more of the fault of the people using it rather than the extistence or concept of ai art itself) is how people have been using ai prompts to represent peoples & cultures in videos (& this is really popular on tiktok) or for posts & like half the time it feels like people almost believe the ai art prompt result is like, real or appropriate to use or reliable.

Like why use ai images to represent Native Americans when you could literally just use photos of Native Americans, or art by Native Americans?
