Being the only one in my German writers forum, who educates themselves with stuff like cultural appropriation is exhausting. Because, hey, what do we know about misinterpretation in Movies? After centuries of being casted as: Bavarian Nazis, Nazis, evil Arians and off course, the fat, wurst-eating comic relieve, from Bavaria. (seriously, I've never seen a Dirndl or Lederhosen in my live, outside from movies and pictures from the October Fest ) this rant was brought to you by the comment: Your post was overly moral! *rolleyes* Edit, Next post: "OH my god, this is so ridiculous! I will answer, as soon as I stopped laughing!" In high need to strangle arrogant stupid little fucks. I can sympathise with this. I get really annoyed whenever I see a "Royal Guard" joke in movies. You know the one where the main character will be walking past Buckingham palace and will pose with the sentries stationed there. Yeah that's not a real thing. Firstly, those guards are on the inside of the gates, not the outside. Secondly if they think you're a threat, they will remove you. Those guns are loaded and they're legally allowed to shoot you for any reason.

OH, that's embarrassing, I just realized, I wrote centuries instead of decades... That's what you get for ranting in your second language ^^"

Oh, I thought you were just exaggerating for comic effect!
PS Nobody would ever guess from your posts here that English was your second language. It's better than a lot of native speakers I know!

Thank you! It does take some effort, I write in word, run it through autocorrect, before copy/paste for the forums post. And my dictionaries are sitting next to me on the couch ;-) But since I spent most of my time on the English speaking parts of the internet, I get better everyday. It used to take me 10 minutes to write a two sentence forums post, just to make sure I get the wording right *rolleyes* It is mostly my insecurity, making mistakes makes me feel horrible, I'll angst over it for hours to days, while everybody else probably didn't even notice *sigh* Fun fact, I started writing my first drafts in English, having limited vocabulary helps not to get to picky with the wording and just get the story done. Editing one of my stories, I realized, for the first half of it, I wrote "They went threw the door." every time, and there was a lot of walking

Bracelets that have those tiny as hell lobster claw clasps piss me off, you have no idea. I think I just spent fifteen minutes trying to put one on; it shouldn't be pretty much impossible to do it by yourself!

I just saw this on FB. Whoever lets their children go out in public like this needs to have those kids taken away. This is disgusting!

Argh!
Outing, I love Orcs, the Predator and the Qunari in the Dragon Age series.
And since that is not socially accepted, you will find people searching for wrongs. My favorite: You are fetishizing POC, when looking at Qunari Porn!
Fuck you, fuck you all!
Yes, fetishizing happens and that sucks, but not every white person who thinks a POC is cute has a fetish.
Not every Cis-Person who's fallen for a Trans-Person has a fetish.
And not everyone who likes Qunari, Orcs or other similar... beings, has a fetish. (besides, that would mean only being able to fuck someone in full cosplay)
I'm to lazy to wright fanfiction, if I did, it would be a lot of my Mary Sue doing stuff with my favorite characters = boring for others.
Aka: My Shapeshifting Half Dragon arriving at Skyhold with a bunch of orphans he's rescued, trying to get by, falling for the Iron Bull, doing interesting stuff like: repairing the roof, turns around to find the Bull helping him. Planning to make a cute dress for one of the older girls, asking Krem for help.
Oh, the fetishizing of the characters!
And a lot of angsting, how would the Bull react to him being a Dragon/Demon hybrid?
So please, unless you read my mind and find only the smut, that's happening too, of course, stop demonizing me!
Rant over.

I didn't watch the second video, I don't think I got half-way through this one.

Something that gets me mad? The very concept of unsliced bread. Why does anyone bother buying it? There's a reason the phrase "Best thing since sliced bread" was penned.
