#also saying you're anti woke is like saying 'I'm anti anti racism' which means you coulda saved time and just said you're racist

12 hours after the amazing digital circus episode 2 airs, I see a video on youtube entitled "THEY RUINED JAX!!! 😡"

Like, chill! They literally haven't even finished SHOWING US Jax!! 😂 He's still only had a few dozen lines! I'm sorry about the Jax in your headcanon that you've been growing in the space between episodes, but I don't think there's been enough time to ruin that rabbit yet! 😅

Saw someone describe Mithrun as a "Disabled right wing veteran who is convinced hes just as capable as he was in his prime" and also that he would "complain about immigrants" and I'm very confused.

Where did this type of interpretation for Mithrun came from? There's nothing about him that indicates he's "right wing" or any more racist than the average elf and due to his condition he literally isn't able to care about that.

The sentiment of "Mithrun is a racist grandpa" seems to have gone from an absurdist joke based on him saying a "slur" into a real interpretation of the character??

First of all he's 37 in tallman years he is not a grandpa, I know it was a joke based on him being rough and the fact he's an elf (185 years old) but I'm starting to think some people really think he's grandpa age? He isn't, he's about as old as Senshi and Chilchuck, Senshi is actually older than him being 47 in tallman years if he's a grandpa they are too, it's going from funny way to call him into ableist territory pretty fast.

Second he doesn't have the ability to be actively racist anymore, racism implies a sense of superiority compared to someone else from another race, which all the elves have. (althought he still benefits passively from this racism as an elf even if he doesn't actively feel it) Let's go thru his anime appearance and what happens.

Kabru shows up and tries to speak to the elves and convince them to try his way. The elves think the short lived people are all ignorant and treat them condescendingly, even Tansu because they live more than any other race

Then they go from "Short lived people are too stupid to know anything" into "Oh my god this poor baby come on have some cake :)" which is ALSO condescending, nobody is taking Kabru or the governor seriously because they're short lived. These elves are RACIST they're treating Kabru like he's a confused kid "come eat some cake and let the adults talk"

Mithrun is the only authority figure that wants to listen to Kabru

He is a shell of who he used to be, right now he ONLY cares about defeating the demon, if there is a chance this kid (who has had experience with dungeons before) knows another way to get him what he wants he will listen to it, cause he *doesn't* have the capability of being like the other elves.

This doesn't mean he's anti-racist, it means he literally doesn't care, he lets the other elves mistreat Kabru in every other scene unless it has something to do with defeating the dungeon, cause he *doesn't* care. He's not gonna complain about immigrants cause he doesn't care he's not gonna treat short lived people like kids cause he doesn't care, he cannot care, he lost the ability to care.

Past Mithrun was the one that was both racist classicist and a bitch, but that part of him is basically dead.

He said the slur because they asked him not because he thinks is appropriate, the other elves aren't 'casual racists' and him the 'real racist' they are all just as bad he just doesn't have the "desire to be socially acceptable" I guess, they asked, he answered and that was it.

If it would make it easier try to think about it in terms of real life bigotry and how people keep going "you can't even say (...) because of the woke" they aren't any less racist they just worry about being socially acceptable racists.

Anyway, please don't just repeat what other people say as jokes as if they're true especially when you're saying it about a disabled character. Acting like he's worse than his peers because he doesn't have the capability of being socially aware is ableism, calling him a grandpa because he has had a rough life that made him look disheveled is ableism, saying he's past his prime is also ableist considering he learned how to fight *after* he became disabled.

Correct me if anything I said was wrong but I really got peeved after reading several people misinterpreting Mithrun as some sort of bigoted old man who must be taken to a retirement home as if he just causes trouble for people who care for him.

That poster is onto something - I do think there was some bigger player making sjw content to weaponize in politics. However, moids like Steve bannon who did do that didn’t think this through enough where you radicalize angry men so much they turn on them eventually. The quote “the man who mounts the tiger dares not for dismount it” is true here. They took the power of sjws and anti sjws, radicalize them then realized they (low level rightoids) can’t control it. It causes chaos which I believe was exactly what the high level elites wanted. The anti NWO rightoids and political conspiracy theorists practically gave the elites exactly what they had wanted - a quick and easy way to destabilize societies. I think also that’s why they didn’t create a world ending virus, just covid. It was enough to cause disruption but nothing like we were pre programmed for (ie zombie apocalypse) they didn’t need that. We were already fractured

You're right on the money anon

For people who see conspiracy EVERYWHERE, Conservative for sure seem to ignore how much of the 'woke' movement is actually a psyop which aim is to breed even more horizontal chaos and divert the masses' focus off their real enemy (NWO elites)

I mean look at them taking the bait at every Black washed stunt (I successfully avoided any discourse or post about that Black Cleopatra movie lol). Not one moment any of them ponders where the end goal of it ultimately lies on.

When a crime happens, the first thing to think about is WHO profits off it. Well, applying the same logic to the wholle 'woke' thing, anyone with eyes can see that in the end of the day, it does NOT benefit the demographics it pretends celebrating and promoting.

The way companies have been using Dylan Mulvaney bred even more transphobia. Those Black washing movies made people direct their anger at Black people when not a single of us ever asked for a Black Ariel or Black Cleopatra movie and gave them even more opportunity to spit their foul racism on social media..... I'm not saying racists didn't exist and that a fringe of White people will ALWAYS seethe at non White (and Black especially) getting more visibility, but it definitely bred a radicalization that wasn't there to begin with.

Society has never been more divided. Even in Christian circles, dissing "leftists" as the ultimate source of evil in society has become too common.

And what's crazy is that Jesus precisely warned us off about not letting our heart get hardened. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Hate, disdain, contempt have never trendier online. I mean, Christians are now calling some churches "woke" for not going hard enough on targets that are highly encouraged to dunk on (LGBT+, BLM, Liberals, etc.). Where's Jesus mercy and love in all of this? Instead of being a light in the darkness of the world, Christians/church community actually highly engage into worldly hateful behavior.

It honestly makes me glad I never belonged in any church congregation and learned to walk with Christ alone ; not cruel pharisees engaging in worldly chaos.
