"Ban all guns"
You fucking can't, because anyone with ill intent can get a gun illegally even with the 2nd amendment abolished.
but less of them would happen, which is the whole point nobody would be so retarded to argue that "banning all guns" would stop every shooting ever the point is that it becomes much more difficult for shooters, which is better than absolutely nothing

the american way of saying it has this pleasurable tintinnabulation about it that makes it preferable, if inconsistent

Some book pronounced it as the latter and the Americans acquired that.
Also, there is no true way to pronounce "gif". It's respectful towards the creator to pronounce it with a soft "g", though.
The guy who invented the word says it’s Jif
that's what he said

it really seems like you haven't spent any time reading about this subject at all, and are just talking shit like always
It seems like you have no rebuttal at all. There's nothing to read. It's a bullshit term being used by leftists, and it's the same shit "colored" used to be. That was the politically correct term st the time to label all races who are not white. That way of thinking should be obsolete by now.
and it is
because PoC isn't a revival of it, it's an active indictment of it
How is it an indictment when it's the exact same thought process?
how is it the exact same thought process when it is not the exact same thought process
It's just another way to say nonwhite. In what world is using a term like that NOT racist? Just use the person's race. Why is white the standard?
because they're the majority
it's not really a "standard," it just is what it is, i didn't decide that fact
the term obviously doesn't have the same gravitas outside of densely white countries
How does that make lumping everyone together a good thing?
it's not good or bad
its bad bro
yeah america is ruined
why are you so in the closet about supporting him

It's totally reaching. "Colored" and "people of color" are literally the same thing. learn what a connotation is, and maybe i'll take the time to read the rest of your post

>reaching this hard
By this logic saying "black people" is racist because you say people second and the color first. Fucking lol, the point is to not refer to people like this at all. Unless it's official documentation or a description for a suspect or some shit, what the hell? Why is "nonwhite" even a term? It implies white is the base, default, correct. It's all racist. There's nothing progressive or tolerant about any of this terminology. It's an outdated way of thinking about people.
not reaching at all actually, this is pretty basic stuff if there's one thing i'm always going to know more than you about, it's language nobody is saying the term "black people" is racist, it's just falling by the wayside as a politically correct term i'd still use it because that's what i'm used to, but if it stops being used that way it's not a big deal to me >unless it's official documentation or a description >unless it's being used the way it's always been used well at least you see where you messed up now

there's also a rather obvious difference between using a word like "nigger," which has a lot of baggage
and saying "color" which has no baggage and is relatively benign
"colored" is different because it sounds like an affliction, but "color" is just a benign description of someone's complexion
No shit. The thing is you might as well just call everybody who isn't white niggers if you're just gonna lump everybody together for no reason other than the fact that they aren't white.
"you might as well say nigger because they're the same exact word i mean come on guys"
the difference is that there are good reasons to be offended by words like "nigger" and "colored"
there's no good or sensible reason to be offended by "people of color" because the term was come up with specifically to solve that problem, and if you're genuinely offended by it, then you deserve to be offended by it
Please explain how it's different. It isn't. The intention and thought process is EXACTLY the same. "Nonwhite". Grouping everybody who isn't white together. It's just beating around the bush and sugar coating.
i already explained how it's different, and i shouldn't have to explain why using "nigger" is bad
"nigger" doesn't just mean "nonwhite"
"colored" doesn't just mean "nonwhite"
and there's nothing wrong with being nonwhite, so i'm not sure what your problem is
there's nothing wrong with being nonblack, either, and if "nonblack" became a widespread term i wouldn't care either
Nigger is just a messed up way of saying negro which is black. My problem lies with whites grouping everybody else as "colored" like it's the 1960's and then acting like it's cool and "progressive".
but they're not doing that, because "colored" and "color" fundamentally connote different things, because words are more than what they mean colorED makes it sound like being nonwhite is some kind of affliction or disability, that's what it sounds like "color" connotes nothing, it's just an acknowledgement that people of different races tend to have different skin complexions, but it doesn't have a negative connotation because, again, you're referring to them as people first, and their race second if the two words meant the same exact thing, and had the same exact connotations, then everybody would be on your side your choice to be offended by the term doesn't make the term offensive

trying to come up with a term that'll make everyone happy is a fool's errand anyway
people will choose to be offended no matter what you say
i say, fuck anyone who is unable to view the expression "people of color" as the gesture of respect and politeness that it is
i don't personally use the term because i find it cumbersome, but see no real issue with those who do

it's because the word "people" is being used first and foremost
that's literally the reason
Oh cool I guess I'll just say "nigger people" when I see a group of black people. That makes it ok
no, the word people is being used first so a better analogy would be "people of nigger" if you were gonna make that point

Is there an anime you think wouldn't be better told in some other medium? That is, were any of them enjoyable because they're anime instead of merely enjoyable despite being anime?
that's a very good question i think, of my top four favorites, grave of the fireflies is probably the only thing that i enjoyed where the fact that it was an anime did not inhibit or deter the experience of watching it in any way for me whatsoever i talk a lot about searching for shows that "transcend" the medium, and when i say that, the implication is that anime tends to consign itself to a lot of tropes that i find irredeemably shitty, and unless some very specific buttons are pressed in very specific ways, it's going to be very difficult for me to be able to look past them but that's just me stereotyping i would never say that anime doesn't have the potential to be a fucking amazing art form; it just isn't to me right now, because in terms of the garbage-to-worth-watching ratio, i've NEVER had to climb a higher mountain of shit, or swim through a vaster ocean of piss, to find just one fucking diamond in the rough, which makes it difficult for me not to make unfair blanket statements it's easy to find new music to listen to it's easy to find good movies to watch it's easy to find a book worth reading yet i've seen more shiny pokémon than i've seen good anime THINK ABOUT THATthat said, i think with devilman and golden boy, i'm only able to enjoy them despite being anime, where as i'm watching them, i'm having to overlook a lot of stuff that i viscerally dislike about the medium in order to enjoy myself the first time i watched devilman, my brain broke, because i wasn't sure if it was the worst anime i've ever seen, or the best (on top of having the most emotionally taxing climax ever) then again, between those two, devilman (which may or may not be my current top favorite, i'm not sure) is probably the easier of the two for me to enjoy, because even though there's a couple beats and tropes here and there that i can't help but roll my eyes at, the show presents itself in such a way that just tickles the sweet spot in my brain that says "okay, this is an anime, and it's actually pretty cool" but with something like grave of the fireflies, the fact that it's an anime is integral to its presentation, because it's a story taking place during the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki, and in my opinion, there's honestly no better medium than anime to tell that kind of story

The last few entries dropped the mean of my score down to 3.2 even, so we're back on track.
A few things MAL is recommending to me:
Your Lie in April - I don't know what this is, but it's ranked #22 right now, and it's made by A-1 Pictures (the fucking SAO and Eromanga Sensei people), so I honestly have no fucking idea why they're trying to recommend me this. It doesn't even look like something I'd be remotely into, but I guess I'll have to try it at some point.
Hajime no Ippo - That one boxing anime that everyone seems to like. I think it looks kinda stupid myself, but maybe I'll be surprised. Maybe. Madhouse tends to be hit-or-miss, but that's already miles better than most studios.
Mushishi - I was watching a Digibro video where he's talking about what the most boring 3x3 looks like, where you're just adding shows that everyone respects in order to get people to think you're super cultured and intelligent, and according to him, this is one of the shows. Hmmmm.
Monster - The only thing I know about this show is that Cat told Flee to watch it once, so I looked up a few clips on YouTube of it. It looked kinda weird, but not weird enough for me to go out of my way to watch the whole thing.
Haikyu!! - Why am I being recommended a sports anime? Literally two of my least favorite things in the world.
The Tatami Galaxy - Masaaki Yuasa (Devilman: Crybaby guy) directed this show, so I might actually have to check it out.
ERASED - More from A-1 Pictures. Looks retarded.
Hotarubi no Mori e - No clue what this is. Haven't heard anyone talk about it. I like the poster, I guess, and it's the same studio that made Baccano! (which wasn't terrible) and Durarara! (which I haven't seen but apparently is good).
Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day - Is MAL paid by A-1 Pictures, or some shit? Why are they shilling so hard for them?
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma - This looks stupid too, and doesn't really seem to pertain to my interests at all. What I'm gathering is that I shoudn't take MAL's recommendations too seriously.
I suppose of these, I'll prioritize Tatami Galaxy.
