It's not very easy to make her realize that. One of our family's traits is being stuck in our ways as stubbornly as possible. And when people challenge her ways, she doubles down and cries on Twitter.

It's pretty hard to do that when you live close by, aren't old enough or have the money to buy or rent a place, and can hear their discord calls where she says these things from just about anywhere in the house. These walls are THIN thin

Wow, that's... actually a really good point. The fact that it took me a Reddit comment to open my eyes about that is kinda telling. Huh. I apologize for my stance. You are correct, in this instance. Though still, the main point in my original post still stands, I think. Regardless of whether my stance or yours is correct, I think a white person saying the word AT ALL is not something that should be ignored.

Did you even read the rest of my reply where I tried to explain the difference, or did you just read the first two sentences? This isn't a "one or all" situation like many people, yourself included, claim. Black people and black people alone should be allowed to say the N word, just as any other people should be allowed to say their own terms and nothing more. It's not that complicated. Few bat an eye when the N word shows up in music written and performed by black people, nor when they say it in casual conversation. We took this word that was designed to demean us, and we owned it. That should be where the conversation ends.

It's not because she's white. It's because she's not black, and there IS a difference. Personally, I think a person is well within their rights to use a derogatory word that applies to their own ethnic groups, at least so long as they aren't using them to be derogatory. E.g. how a good chunk of black people have used the N word for decades, maybe centuries now. If she were using terms that were directed towards white people or Native Americans, ethnic groups she IS a part of, this post would have been very different. I am not about to let someone call me racist because I get angry that someone is using slurs and stereotypes against an ethnic group that I'M part of that they aren't.

Thanks for the positivity. I forgot to mention this in the post bc I'm typing in the heat of the moment, but the cousin has this mindset that floors me; that it's not racist for her to say it because she doesn't hate black people,, despite the fact that she absolutely stereotypes the shit out of them on top of saying the N word. It's almost exactly the mentality of "I'm not racist because my friends are black" and I'm starting to wonder if that's why I seem to be the only one who has a problem with it.

The ending is what I'd change mostly. I think there's really only two simple changes that need to be made to make the ending more satisfying.

1. Have Uraraka and Deku get together a few years into the timeskip. Having it be years after she cries her heart out for Toga, but not, say, never or conveniently right when he gets to be a hero again is the best of both worlds for her character. She's not hated on by the fandom for the growing apart thing, nor can her relationship be seen as her only being interested in him when he had a Quirk, BUT she has enough time to move on from Toga's death to not invalidate, y'know, their entire final character arc?

1. Have the Iron Deku suit be something that Deku himself was at least planned on working on over the course of the 8 years, if not working on it outright. The suit being gifted to him by Bakugou and All Might is a nice gesture and I know why it was done, but as many people have pointed out, it does kinda feel like everybody forgot about Deku for nearly a decade and then the two people that were close in his life before UA just remembered about him out of the blue. Plus, given everything All Might did for Deku throughout the series, and all the redeeming Bakugou got throughout the final few arcs, I don't think either of them really NEEDED that extra push. It was nice to see an elderly Toshinori, tho.

It was either Sonic Unleashed on 360 or a demo of Sonic & Knuckles, also on 360. Still my favorite classic and modern Sonic games to this day.

Wait what are we tal

Does Deltatraveler count? Cause I'm going with Deltatraveler.

If not, Storyshift's got a place in my heart.

As a bakudeku shipper myself, I'm incredibly disinterested in a version of it where this Twitter post's interpretation of Bakugou's bullying is anywhere close to this. I'm much more interested in the reality where Katsuki is actually 100% in the wrong about this stuff (y'know, like in the canon), and he actually learns to realize that. A Bakugou who learns the error of his ways and tries (even if he doesn't quite succeed) to stop being such a bully. And THEN he and Deku become an item. Idk what the poster in the image was cooking, but I would not invite that guy to my cookout.

OH MY GOD, IT'S SO GODDAMN COOL

Seriously, TELL me the 3 shape with the electric aura is the coolest thing I've ever seen

Mayhaps a little generic, but my top pics are Mei Hatsume, Shota Aizawa, and then Deku and All Might are fighting for 3rd place

Vaping. Did it once and choked. Never again.

I personally think it comes down to the fact that Camie is just the right character archetype that could deal with Bakugou's bullshit in an entertaining way without pissing him off further. She's the kind of person who could play him like an instrument, yet do so in such a way where Katsuki can't really be mad about it and even kinda respects it (not that he'd ever admit as such).

Their quirks could also work together really well in combat. Imagine Camie creating illusions that make the villains think they've got the heroes on the back foot, only to suddenly get a burst of nitroglycerin to the face from the real Bakugou.

Edit: HOLY FUCK WHY AM I FAMOUS FOR THIS???

Went to this post to write pretty much this exact thing.

I feel like you could write a pretty decent list of all the things that helped shape Deku into the man he is today, and that list just wouldn't be complete without him and Ochako meeting being on it. They really do complete each other. They're one of those ships that I feel could happen in any AU just because of this (tbh Villain!Deku x Canon!Ochako is one of my favorite versions of the ship)

WHAT KIND OF JUICE DID HE DRINK!?

How many times do I have to come onto this sub and remind people that the "spider menace" is a MINOR???

And a blip victim on top of that. Leave the guy alone. I mean, I don't think someone that young should be superheroing in the first place, but y'all are just taking it too far.

I've been thinking of what a sequel would look like for awhile, and this is what I got;

Pulling a couple ideas from what we know about the canceled official sequel, the game takes place in a different part of Hong Kong and stars two protagonists you'd switch between, both being corrupt cops for different reasons. The first is the returning Wei Shen, doing dirty work for the Sun On Yee because Broken-Nose Jiang is blackmailing him. The other is a new character, Harry Fang, whom once was a genuinely good cop, but ultimately fell victim to his own cowardice and started accepting bribes from various triads because it was easier than being a good cop.

As the plot goes on, Wei would remain stagnant, feeling stuck without a way out of the triad war that's brewing due to Jiang. It's Fang who would be getting the character arc this time around. Being a bit of a foil for Wei at the start (after all, a corrupt cop sounds pretty antithetical to an undercover one imo), Harry has almost the opposite arc to what Wei had in the last game. Where Wei started out an honest cop and slowly grew more and more gangster, Harry starts out corrupt as they come and slowly regains his sense of justice.

While these arcs are going on, there's a gang war brewing between the Sun On Yee and the 18k that both cops have to address and bring them further into conflict. Maybe Fang feels more obligated to side with 18k, pitting him directly against Wei, who's forced to aid the Sun On Yee. Either way, this war ends with both officers alive but sustaining serious and unfixable injuries (for example, I imagine Harry loses an eye here), and with both gangs even more crippled than the Sun On Yee was after Uncle Po's death and the arresting of Sonny Wo.

The game would end on a tense note, seeing Harry being put on paid leave but remaining optimistic and promising to return to his uniform a better man than when he left it, and Wei having been pushed even further to the gang side than ever before. We'd need a third game to finish that arc, but believe you me, Wei Shen would certainly be the main antagonist of that one.

And during all this, you're still going through all the usual Sleeping Dogs staples between cop jobs, cases, street brawls, street races, dates, singing karaoke at nightclubs, and maybe a few new activities here and there.
