Definitely agree on the "Europe is just racist in a different way." Outside of the obvious ones (like Middle East & Africa), I'd also add racism/xenophobia against "Eastern" Europe (like Poland), which might surprise Americans because they're still white.

It’s not just the US that has bland restaurants and/or is afraid of spice.

First time I hear this stereotype lol, I've only ever heard it about European countries (basically all of them that don't border the Mediterranean)

blacks

While we're on the topic, I think "black people" is the preferred term (in general it's adjectives over nouns, like "gay people" vs "gays")

If magic interferes and influences electricity, which means it can be measured, analyzed and manipulated as a new form of energy.

Unless it does so unpredictably / always exactly the way you don't want it to. It's magic after all.

This is some really good art, thanks for sharing! I like the facial expressions.

For the interested: the artist also posted a newer version to Reddit with a nightmare between the fridge panel and the "waking up" panel.

Lemmy is no better than Reddit in terms of sexism and media literacy

... just pass on the mother's name to your children? Eventually it matters as much as that your ancestor was a smith. (and that's besides the "not everyone wants to lose their name on marrying" point)

OP's comments don't seem very satyrical :')

It could give prettier results but that doesn't solve the ethical issues (and even for the prettier part I can see there being fundamental limits)

That might've gone over better if it didn't read like an angry rant against "idiots"/"adult children"/"spoiled little shits"

blahaj.zone is better about it, but much of Lemmy even just defaults to "he"
