Pepe the frog is from the Boys Club, a comic or children’s book; I don’t know, it just had a couple talking animals. The first picture of him with the feels good man caption was very silly and took off from there. Unfortunately pepe became a hate symbol after 15 years.
Pepe has a weird history. I hate that people used him for hate because he’s just a silly little guy. I don’t know if he’s still viewed as such in popular culture.
The best bit of is I don’t think he even said anything? He said he didn’t play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn’t morally do it, that’s super dumb but I haven’t seen anything he said about the characters and no one in here is talking about it.
I think people have imagined how he probably feels and now we have to hear about that too!

How you play a video game is as much a moral choice as writing/reading about the same.
I’ve found it’s a huge red flag when someone’s opinions are always hardline and binary like this. It’s literally choosing to be unreasonable when you never consider nuance, context, etc. I would agree that some issues are black and white, but most things in the world are shades of grey…
But seriously it’s because she manipulates her body in order to keep her hips and torso on top of the bridge. She’s not just ragdolling. The bridge kinda pushes her back toward the middle too.
It’s like a Japanese show that was shown on TV. This show had a similar challenge. The player stepped onto a rickety rope bridge, but was prevented from reaching the end by two guys standing on the ground below, who were shooting soccer balls at him. The bridge swayed a lot, it was difficult to stand and there were many funny moments. A safety net was stretched under the bridge.
Its an easy target. Low effort, high reward. I have a colleague who is frantic about numerology and anti-vax stuff. It’s always a success to crack a joke about that.
As someone who went to the greater Tokyo area about a month ago. I can unironically confirm that pretty much everything does have subtitles. (in the form of text translation and most workers speak some sort of english/have someone available that speaks english)
Pretty much yea, the hardest part was the train but tbh that’s because I’d never been on a train so I wasn’t sure how the map worked. Took me like 15 minutes and a couple missed trains to figure it out. Google maps is actually amazing for this, assuming you’re staying in the greater Tokyo area.
As someone who lives in Japan, that is true as long as you stay inside the tourist bubble. Once you start venturing into places not meant for visitors, the difficulty goes from 0 to 100 real quick. That said, sometimes those experiences of struggling communication can be among the best you’ll have here.
I lived in Busan Korea back in the nineties before it was developed and before it was exporting its pop culture. I remember struggling to even get a Coke out of a vending machine. It was really difficult, but since I was young and adventurous, it was also super fun.
By the time I went to Fukuoka a couple times for visa runs, I had that expat sixth sense that allowed me to navigate around with next to no knowledge of the language. I was able to get cabs, take the subway, find my hotel, get food (though I didn’t always know what I was ordering) etc.
I still laugh to this day at my attempts to play pachinko when I stumbled upon such establishment. The people inside were particularly entertained with my nonsense.
Ye, I did go out a little bit of the Tokyo tourist area and it was a bit confusing with restaurants but not bad either. Tech really helps with all of that nowadays. DeepL did some heavy lifting there.
