Is that a screenshot of one of Uncle Tony Stark's scenes in Spider-Man: Homecoming?
Is Peter gonna come home and find Tony trying to treat Aunt May to a secret recipe?
My fault, but remove the food, Mikey. Folks still fasting..I'm an asshole.
At first thought I had was that all of her lent herself to the Jezebel stereotype. Her walk, her figure her whole creation is only there to represent sex.
As for the hair itself I can only sympathise with Ms.DePass. Her viewpoint is a valid one and the explanation to reach it is as valid. Unfortunately I do believe it'll fall on deaf ears and even more so on the gaming side.
Just a note, Twintell is a tanned Asian. Nintendo don't make any brown/black characters.

I...think I'm going to step away from the internet or something. I just read these things and feel so out of touch when I read things like this. Nevermind the fact she isn't even the only character who doesn't attack with her actual arms (Mechanica) or the first instance of "weaponized hair" in a games/anime (there are literally dozens of them).
This feels like the author trying to fit her grievances with a much larger issue onto a game only slightly tangentially related.
Not to mention she seems to miss the fact that ARMS fighters are seen as stars. Twintelle is literally a celebrity, in her own right, AND is celebrated for her hair powers. Look at her fan variant. They literally adopt her hairstyle.
end of the day you got to have enough love for your self that you're not making your self crazy just to be with someone else. yo can have your reservoir of love and patience and understanding for other people, but once that love of self gets tapped you know something is up, someone is taking too much of what you have to give.
I fucking knew it. Goddamn tanners.
tannas?

She speaks French too. Don't do this to me Faustek.
She might not be black, but she's certainly not Asian if any of the other characters are. On the map the only person from anywhere near the part of the world she's from is Master Mummy.
Add the French and yeah, probably from some part of fictional Africa equivalent.

I like the character; her hair powers are portrayed as stylish and cool
The issue about black hairstyles needing to be included more is legit but this character doesn't feel like part of it
See kids. It's just Japanese street culture. And not the fact they're just openly contemptuous of us. 😒

Nonsense. Japan shows the utmost respect to other cultures and people's.

Looks at the thread title, remembering Inkling thread. Wonder if people have a bad memory or perhaps I'm super in some way?

Damn I had a hard time with Chocolove. On one hand I loved the character, minus the overt banana love, but I so detested the drawing of him.
The background was rather well done. If I remember right it could have been a tribute to Biggie and he was endowed with powers rivaling the best and an attitude that just sat right. Chill as hell.

What in tarnation
Regarding the hair, the white hair trend aside, I thought it and her design overall looks cool as fuck. Frankly, I'm surprised this even came from Nintendo. So I see this article, and yea, it did not cross my mind that someone might consider it to be a "blunder". But I'm not a woman of color though, so admittedly it feels easier for me to look at the new WoC character and love it, and not really think too much past that unless it's blatantly problematic.
I dunno though. I can definitely see the points of an earlier discussion someone brought up in here about Nintendo giving the one WoC character a... noticable butt, but I dunno about the hair. I don't really get the impression that she's being other'd here. Well other than being one of the only two characters that have normal arms lol
But I see this part of the article:
And I guess I can see why that could be seen as suspect though. Ultimately I don't think this example is a good one though.
Nah I figured as much. I am surprised that seemingly for once, no one is really objecting to people associating her as such. I bet it's because she speaks French.
see? Tomi Lahren served a purpose after all.
she's probably through though. Time to get murried and pop out the next generation of racist youtube starlets.
few Japanese girls got bubble like that though. So Twintelle's not Japanese. Could be of the Blasian Persuasian(rest in peace awesome nickname...)

I remember some dude on the Coli got stole on by Wale at a WWE RAW show, funniest shit I read in my life
Yeah that didn't sit well with me. Not everyone of us in the states.
Ergo why I have trouble with the word nigga. Yes I was born there, my mom grew up there but my parents took me away, thankfully to Sweden, so the walls I had to climb was so different. Yes me and my family, now in San Jose and all over(earlier from Orleans), called each other every form of Nigga. Depending on what was hot but I never had to grow up with those hardships. So while I do understand why we use it and respect black peoples usage of the word I don't really see myself having any right to it.
Plus that word was only ever used by white people around me here in Sweden and it wasn't until Latin Kings(music group here) made it something else as it was always used...yeah it wasn't to recognize anyone. It was only to make sure I knew my place in society.
ok....so everyone with any kind of love in their chest loves Satchmo and if they could they would pay tribute to him....but what the hell is that?
Associating her as a tannas? Or a woman of color?
Woman of color. But then again, it's not like I've been specifically looking out for posts like that. Just the few times I see it brought up, I don't see any of that tanned nonsense. That being said, I sure as hell ain't gonna make a thread like the Splatoon one where I give GAF a chance to

"On Friday, Ms. Smith said her use of the racial slur was no big deal, and she should be entitled to use it whenever she wants. She suggested that comedian Eddie Murphy made a career out of using the word, and added that she grew up hearing it on television in the 1970s show All in the Family.
Now, all of a sudden, I cant use it? Ms. Smith said in a phone interview on Friday. SorryI live in a black neighborhood. I came here and didnt see color.

It's a skill game. You wouldn't be interested.
Selena talked shit to Pam after she almost does Harley in.
hmm, is season 3 of Kimmy Schmidt worth it? I remember feeling nothing about it in the end of season 2.
Why is it always just they that don't see colour?

Guys, you gotta watch this pixel art animation I found on the web, it's so good.

If you did not enjoy Season 2, you likely won't like this one. Was bored out of my mind for the most part.

I totally forgot that was even back for a new season. Shows how much I care. Ill end up catching for some background noise some day.
It's really sad that Injustice 2 has a story that hangs together better than any of the DCU movies.
