With the pistol emoji becoming the water gun emoji, I’m wondering if it would be different if it was a sci-fi ray gun instead. Better yet, if Nintendo wants to make their own, we need the Zapper.

@familyoftacticaldroids309

Жыл бұрын

See, I feel like sci-fi blaster (the more cartoony the better!) would be better than water gun as well. While I do love Star Wars, I wouldn't want a blaster from it as an emoji since they still look like a basic gun (even if they shoot lasers and not bullets). I mean, I wouldn't miss a gun emoji at all, since I don't use them in the slightest (aside from ones like the thumbs up), but I'd just want to be more considerate toward those who were affected by mass shootings (or gun violence in general). After it's happened, I'm sure it's been hard to recover. Even military vets may return home with PTSD, and fireworks and thunder trigger them, so some emojis are just better off not made, especially if it's based off a real weapon. Or if they ARE made, at least give the person the ability to make them invisible so they can't be used, or just simply delete them.

We live in a world of so much hedonism and passivity that a cartoon gun is offensive. Kok

I think a bigger problem with disability representation is how the story is written, Sia's movie wasn't just awful because of the actress not being autistic, another huge reason was the writing not understanding how autism works, especially with the restraint scenes. Even then, there are plenty of stories written about mental disorders written by people who did proper research, that are amazing. Authentic voices can help a lot of stories, but they aren't nessisarally a requirement. The bigger problem with Hollywood stories in particular is that they want to hire famous people in their films, so they hire them instead of a disabled actor who's a newcomer, they go with someone famous.

Exactly, you're right on the money. The problem isn't the casting, because, you know, acting is an actual thing, it's the god-awful writing that accompanies these movies most of the time. Which seems to be 99% of big Hollywood movies these days, actually minus the big indie hits like Parasite, Everywhere All At Once, and RRR. Sia's movie was the absolute worst example of this made by people who probably hate autistic people or something and want to ruin their reputation. Probably some secret plot from the hollywood deep state cult to diminish the value of the spiritually enlightened, since only autistic people are the only ones who can truly comprehend God and are the next natural stage in human psyco-spiritual evolution.

He has peach drawings on the wall and if you slash an art scroll it reveals an artpiece of the peach expanded into a full body, showing it used as the butt of a beautiful woman.

As an autistic person myself, non-autistic actors playing autistic characters has never bothered me personally. I view it the same way I view any actor playing a character with differences from themselves. The art of acting is to be able to become someone you're not, and I don't really feel comfortable setting a precedent that only actors that share certain traits with the characters they play can play those characters. If, for example, we decide that only gay actors can play gay characters, then logically the reverse would also be true, that only straight actors can play straight characters. But if that were the case, we never would have had Jim Parsons playing Sheldon Cooper, and he fits that role so well.

Harambe did not attack the child. The child fell/jumped into the enclosure while their guardian was not paying attention. The gorilla grabbed him and kept running from one side of the enclosure of the other, like it would trying to protect a baby gorilla, because it was getting riled up by the onlookers screaming and otherwise freaking him out. Human children bodies are not as resilient as baby gorillas', though, the crowd could not be calmed down so that the zookeepers might have a chance to go in and defuse the situation, and, with the compounding risk that hitting Harambe with a tranquilizer would further put the child in danger (either hitting him directly or the surprised, hurt, and rapidly uncoordinated with sedation animal doing something unfortunate), the zoo officials had to shoot and kill the gorilla. The child came out fine. The guardian was never charged. Harambe died. The zoo's public image was rescued shortly afterward thanks to a premature hippo named Fiona being born and raised by keepers.

According to news reports, he was shot because the zookeepers didn't want to risk having a child's limbs ripped off. Tranquilizer was too risky as this would not have acted fast enough. A gorilla is not as predictable as a human when a change is introduced to their habitat. I wonder how different the social media anger against a gorilla shooting would be if we also had a dead child because zookeepers didn't act fast enough.

Also, the (since I’ve noticed a common pattern with the color yellow in your videos) another reason that yellow is often used as a skin color to not show a specific race is because yellow is often used as a color in advertising due to how eye catching it is.

I suspect the problem is that it is a legally required symbol under ADA with very specific details (like the background *must* be blue, green is not official and therefore isn't recognized as compliant). If the design was changed then the law would have to be updated and everyone would have to update their signs or else be non-compliant and face fines. And the reason there has to be 1 universally recognized symbol is because otherwise people could not maintain the alert (letting the paint wear away but so long as there's faint blue they are ok) or could frivolously sue because "it wasn't what I thought it meant." It's probably more a "legal red tape" thing than anything else.

"Handicap" parking spots are probably the reason why there are "problems" (not "controversies") with the new logo. Here in the states public places are legally required by the Americans with Disabilities Act to offer close and wide parking spaces that are clearly identified with blue parking lines and the 1960s blue wheelchair symbol, and when discussing legally required symbols there is no wiggle room for how it looks since every detail has to match. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I know at my work where we have flammable and caustic chemicals they all have to have very specific hazard icons or else it is illegal.

For the water gun: consistency is extremely important for communication. Different platforms can stylize emoji in different ways, but they need to always depict the same thing. If one person picks the water gun emoji because they want to evoke playfulness, and the recipient sees the realistic pistol emoji instead, that us unnecessary misunderstanding and friction. The water gun strikes me as a very obvious example of virtue signalling -- when a party tries to appear to be more moral and to appear to care more about an issue than they actually do. Seeing squirt guns where others see weapons is not at all solidarity for victims of gun violence. I'd say it's quite the opposite.

The laugh you did while juggling was...my favorite thing I heard today.

I'm autistic as well, and on the topic of a neurotypical actor playing an autistic character, I disagree with the notion that an actor necessarily has to be a member of the social group they portray; it is acting, after all, and the whole point is to be able to portray something you're not. What I do take issue with (and I have no idea where the specific example pointed to in this video stands, I'm just mentioning this as a general statement) is when a social group is depicted in media content without having input from people who are members of the social group being depicted (for example, a movie that depicts Japanese society but has nobody in the writing room, cast, or crew who has any actual firsthand experience with Japanese culture); the reason for this is that, by failing to include people who are familiar with the culture they're depicting, the content creators run the risk of unintentionally misrepresenting the people they depict (to continue my example, they may fail to understand subtleties of customs and language, which could lead to something intended as positive or benign being interpreted as offensive; look up George H.W. Bush flipping off Australia when he thought his hand gesture would be interpreted as "V for Victory" for a real-world example of this exact kind of thing). It also gets particularly complicated when trying to gatekeep actors portraying characters with mental or neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism (or bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, or OCD, or a variety of others) because there are no definitive ways to test for those conditions; diagnosis is inherently subjective to an extent, and even when a diagnosis is present, symptoms may not be obvious. There is no way to say with certainty that a particular person is or isn't autistic. But again, at the end of the day, I personally don't care; all I care about is that the representation is accurate, and, on the specific topic of representing autism, that can be done by having an autistic writer and a neurotypical actor just the same as having a neurotypical writer and an autistic actor.

I hate how disability is universally perceived as a hindrance and that those who identified as disabled must abide to this conception of being impotent husks. You have to be insanely powerful to work around your limitations especially when the world is designed to further limit you. Speaking for myself, it's easy to work around disadvantages I do have because I'm already used to having to put up with them in other areas, either that or I power through it.

I have a couple of comments here: 1. Non-disabled people creating the new disabled emoji is not a big deal IMO. It's not like it would have made much difference. It would have been different, sure, but to an extent of necessity? I doubt it. Also, about non-autistic people voicing autistic people in shows, I don't really think it's a big deal as long as it is executed well. 2.

As a wheelchair user the debate over the accessibility icon is INCREDIBLY silly. It seems like the whole debate is the figure in the original symbol was just sitting there, and the new one shows a person in motion... Thinking about other simplified icons depicting people (bathroom signs, crosswalks etc) sometimes the person is just standing and sometimes they're moving/walking. I don't see a problem with using both and both the hatred for the new symbol and the graffiti over the old symbol are both pointless and don't accomplish anything. There's bigger problems facing disabled people than if the stick figure in a wheelchair is moving or not.

In my opinion, making the gun emoji into a water gun makes no sense when we also have emojis for other weapons and violent context. It comes off as blaming the gun for the violence and not the person. The term “censorship” doesn’t just apply to politics, either, according to Google it’s also the “suppression or prohibition” of any aspect of media deemed to be obscene. Here are some potentially violent emojis that aren’t the gun: 🩸💣🧨⚔️🔪🗡 Multiple countries have massive epidemics of knife violence. Does this mean that Apple should change the knife emoji into a blue rubber sword?

I think you’re amazing Strider. Your content is entertaining and informative…. But more than that, I love that you’re doing your bit to make the world a better place

My reaction when I found out about the pistol emoji swap: "Huh, that's weird." And I moved on. A lot of stuff I see that I don't like my typical reaction is "That's stupid" and I move on.

As a person with cerebral palsy this is the first time I've seen the new accessible emoji and i like it yet the reason for banning it for public use is just plain confusing indeed. On a side note I don't use Twitter as well since it doesn't really interest me.

Wait a minute, wasn't the killer clown thing just a separate thing from "It"? Cause, from what I remember, that was only speculation AND horrible timing

Peach butt thing is not just the emoji in Japan. You can literally buy peaches with a little underwear on them I'm unsure which came first. The emoji context or the underwear though Although personally, I'm annoyed by it because his group together with the eggplant thing which is extra annoying to me because I happen to actually like eggplant as a food and the shenanigans with it as seen in number 8 are just annoying.... But when it comes to emojis, what pisses me off the most is there is no representation of the asexual flag or the autism symbol.(a rainbow infinity symbol )We have plenty of the other sexual flags like the standard pride but neither my sexuality or my disability are represented yet. I want both damn it

I'm in autistic person too I really love the new disability sign unlike the original the new one shows the disabled person in action and in control I totally agree with you they should be having autistic actors playing autistic characters actor without a disability to play the part

Thank you for another amazing video strider! You bring so much positivity in such dark times

Thank you so much for answering my question! I've started walking regularly this week and it's actually really reducing my stress and depression. It's great to have an actual KZreadr that's helping me feel positive and give me some genuine laughter through non-vulgar and especially non-toxic humour. Oops I rambled a bit. (Oh and thanks for saying my username correctly! My partner still says Em-kay two).

No offense, Strider, but I never understood this argument of "Only people of [insert group] should play people of that group in movies." I'm visually impaired and don't need Daredevil or Ray Charles to be played by actual blind people. I just want them to be done justice which Hollywood tends to be better at when they focus on acting talent instead of labels. Which is of course not to say that I don't appreciate actual disabled people getting work in Hollywood. I can totally see why filmmakers would want to cast their characters authentically. But that should be a creative decision, not an absolute must, because then I would wonder where the line is. Can only shortsighted, black-haired orphans play Harry Potter? Who would play characters with early childhood autism? I'm not sure there are many actors with this condition. And what about the opposite? Wouldn't that logic imply that people who are on the autism spectrum shouldn't get to play characters who aren't? When people can only ever play themselfs, I wonder what the purpose of acting still is. Personally it feels like society is currently hellbent on coming up with just different ways to reduce people on their labels instead of actually normalizing them, which is why I am not a fan of this line of thinking. (I'm not gonna go on Twitter crusades over this though.)

As someone who considers them partly catholic, I just want to clarify that not everyone who believes in this religion is homophobic. My father is catholic and he's perfectly fine with homosexual people. Same goes with me. I myself get really pissed whenever people who like the same gender get treated like shit. Not to mention the fact that there have been cases of Christian people showings up at pride parades and being supportive. Also, the Pope himself is fine with LGBT people as well. It's not a sin to be gay. Any Christian who says otherwise is not a true person of God. I just wanted to say this since it was said in this video that Christians are homophobic. It's a misconception that I hate being brought up and I wanted to correct it.

You should be good. I'm no chef. Nor have I ever had culinary classes. But here's what I'm guessing. (I really wrote an essay for this stuff 💀.) I'd say that the amount/ type of ingredients that you use should dictate the placement of the cheese. Are you just using the bread, cheese, and meat? Well if that's the case, then just put the cheese where ever. Are you using lettuce, tomatoes, onions, condiments, and pickles? Then put the cheese on top of the pattie. If you place it on the bottom or in the middle of all of the other stuff, you might not be able to taste the cheese at all. Especially since condiments, onions, and pickles tend to either have a stronger/ sour flavor to them. Which can easily obscure the flavor of the cheese. Tomatoes and lettuce mainly keep those more flavorful ingredients separated from the cheese and pattie. Both of which. Add their own unique flavor to the burger as a whole. The pattie's salty and peppery flavor. The taste of the type of cheese that's being used. The hint of vinegar in the pickles. The sour flavor of the onion. The neutral watery/ leafy taste of the lettuce and tomatoes. Ect. They're all separated and placed in a way that allows their qualities to unite. No one ingredient over powers the others. And since the cheese being placed on the bottom. Runs the risk of not being able to taste it. I'm guessing that's what made people mad about Google's old burger emoji. But idrk.

Hey, Strider. Physically disabled guy here (wheelchair-bound since birth). I’m from the US, lived here all my life, and I’ve never actually seen that new disabled sign. I think banning it is weird, but it’s just another example of the people who make the rules not belonging to the subset of people who are affected by the rule. Also, I’m with you on the autistic actor concept. There are surprisingly few disabled actors who play disabled roles. I’d gladly take some of those roles in movies or TV.

My best guess for the ban on the new disability icon is because the character in said icon is hunching. I think the federation believes that makes the character either "too active for a disabled person" or "not disabled enough to be considered disabled", as the pose may suggest that the character is still able to move with its back freely, which is the opposite of "disabled" and may encourage people to pretend to be disabled in order to take advantage of areas restricted to disabled people (e.g. parking spaces). Yeah it sounds kinda dumb, but it's the best I can think of. Sometimes restrictions and bans are placed for stupid reasons.
