The Media Villainizing A Woc For Publicly Speaking Out About Palestine And Standing Her Ground On Basic

Went to see “Snow White” again. Still holds up, still enjoyed it. My original review still stands.

If you haven’t see it yet, maybe give it a chance?

hello!! sorry to chime in suddenly, but i saw a lot of cool nickname analysis and wanted to add my own two cents! it's fascinating to me that floyd doesn't actually use "apex predators" as nicknames for any of the characters so far (other than sebek, but like if you DON'T look at sebek and think 'croccodile' then you're doing it wrong). (1/?)

[Referring to this original post!]

As far as I know, no official reason for this has been stated in the game or shared by other characters. If I had to make an educated guess on why Floyd generally doesn’t give apex predator nicknames, I would say it’s because of his own selfish need to surpass others in strength.

In his Beans Day Camo personal stories, Floyd reveals to Epel that he wants to take on strong opponents (like Riddle), because he finds it to be exciting. In the Lyreless Brawl event itself, we see that Floyd refuses to follow Vil until Vil demonstrates his own strength and executes a flipping technique that catches Floyd’s attention. From these points, we can see that Floyd very much has an interest in overtaking powerful foes and learning new things to improve his own combat capabilities.

If Floyd were to nickname others after apex predators, I feel like that would come across to him as “I’m confessing that this person surpasses me in strength” every time he speaks their nickname, which hurts Floyd’s own pride. As we can see in his Beans Day Camo personal stories and in the Lyreless Brawl story, he’s willing and able to learn new things if it means enhancing his own abilities--but in calling others apex predators, it implies that they are naturally “above” him (because it is “in their nature” as the top of the oceanic food chain) and that, no matter how hard he tries to catch up, he won’t be able to. In this sense, granting an apex predator nickname to someone else would be relinquishing one’s own strength and confessing to their inferiority.

I think Floyd likes to leave the possibility of surpassing others “open” by not giving names that acknowledge another’s power. That way, there’s always a glimmer of hope that he can train and overtake them. It’s a matter of pride.

Hey people on Tumblr, I have a question for you : do you contribute to your community ? Do you take the initiative to make things better for the people around you ?

I’ve brought up many times about Shahed Abumousa. She’s a 20 year old Palestinian who is studying dentistry and she is doing her best to survive a whole year of horror and violence. Since October last year, she has gone through the bombing of her house, the multiple displacements, the hunger and thirst, the shootings and diseases.

Despite it all, Shahed has dedicated her time, energy, and effort for everyone around her. She has volunteered as medical aid when hospitals were being destroyed one by one, distributed food with her family when she is starving, and taught children who couldn’t go to school in between her classes. Speaking of which, she continues with her education to achieve her degree while fundraising for her family of 7 people’s survival and supplies for her students. She is carrying a lot on her shoulders when she is only 20!

I am asking you once again:, what are you doing for your community? The truth is that most people are doing the bare minimum, if anything at all. So if you want to make a difference, please donate and share. Your contribution will not only help Shahed and her family survive, but it will also help give back to her community. So give what you can because she's stagnating at the halfway mark that she reached only recently after 7 months. She deserves all of our support.

A nobody who won a golden glove for her first movie? An entitled girl who spoke up against a genocide and a terrible Man being president? A 20 year old who said that a movie that is almost 100 years old is outdated? Oh yes SHE was the one who destroyed Snow White
