Chiropractic strokes are a known thing, and Kevin Sorbo is one of the known victims. I think he was already an asshole before it, but it certainly didn't make him less of one if so.
So much of my emotional investment in FFXIV is enhanced by the music, especially in Endwalker.
IRC and ICQ chat rooms here. Then MMOs after. I don't type correctly(as in, finger positions etc), but I do type quickly.

God Awful Movies. They have other Podcasts too but I've mostly only listened to their comedy ones and not as much their serious ones. Citation Needed (not Citations Needed) is another comedy one from them, where they use mostly Wikipedia to research a subject poorly.

Makes her rich. She knows racism, as she's had to sue successfully in the past, but it's easier to get money this way. There's this podcast where atheists make fun of bad Religious movies (mostly Christian, with a few Jewish, Hindu, scientology, culty, and just plain weird Woo/conspiracy ones) and they are constantly surprised how bad they are yet still profitable.
They joke about just switching sides for the payout. Some people don't have enough standards to not do so.
A lot of people take humor as fact, either by not understanding it as satire or by thinking it's funny because it's true etc. So while a bit of a party pooper, I don't think some light correction is all that harmful.
Hmmm, on the other hand, he's a fragile man child with a gun, and historically that goes bad for people with my complexion.
I don't really have much on other native ethnic groups aside from the Ainu people, which as a minority group went through colonialist oppression similar to other native/aboriginal groups in other locations.

As for colorism, the culture trends conservative. I don't mean strictly politically, which it probably does too, but as in don't act out and stick with traditional values. Due to that, white skin is generally considered better looking and proper, and there is a negative stereotype for darker skin.
They are similar to S Korea like this, and there is a sort of blatant implied racism towards dark skinned and especially black people in the culture. There is of course some fetishizing of dark skin too, but mainly in a fling but don't settle down kind of way.
Some younger people are of course bucking some of these trends, and I'm not quite up to date as stuff in my own country, but it's definitely still there. There are people who have given personal experiences, some positive, some definitely not.
Some people never heard. I see a lot of people accusing people of not listening, but for the first couple years I heard anything about Musk I didn't hear any negatives. I wasn't looking him up, I'd just see a joke or meme, and since I didn't care much I probably didn't even go into comments. I think the first real negative news I heard was the sub pedo incident.
Maybe the Model E Model 3 S3X thing, but at worst I considered that an immature joke and didn't think much further about it, nor heard anyway say anything seriously negative about it.
It's not a joke based on nothing. It's based on how many of the people who want mass deportation will always assume someone is an immigrant based on looks, language, skin color. I've seen lots of right wing people talk about seeing illegals at an airport or non Americans. How do they know? Did they check their papers, passport, etc?
No. They just looked at em and knew somehow.
As far as I know she's cool and calls him out, but due to my entertainment choices (various podcasts calling out or making fun of grifters) I haven't really looked into her.
