Yeah no that would have been a bad idea
I don’t
Are you doing a bit? According to my Miranda Rights you have to tell me if I ask directly
I may have, so I put it under the spoiler tag as un-ordered thoughts, since I want to discuss it and this could be a good thread. Sorry if it came across as too much
Is that ambassadorship? I’m not really familiar with how it would work outside nation state/embassy/foreign rep functions that I associate with the term, but that’s a shortcoming on my end definitely. I guess my thought is that speed doesn’t appear to be acting in any larger representative faculty at this stage, and his impact/reception in China is mixed. From the commentary I’ve read on wechat and xhs is that he’s seen as a streamer novelty first, a black person second, an American third. This is different to how China Daily and official state media have clipped amd promoted his visit. There are definite flaws and considerations that need to be gone over before upholding him as an official ‘envoy’ or ambassador as posed by OP
un-ordered thoughts cw: descriptions of racial abuse towards ishowspeed
He’s a young guy lmao, not an ambassador, imo. I wouldn’t make it out to be more than it is. Ambassador is taking it a bit far. And if he were, Who is he an ambassador for? Gen zedders? The USA? The amorphous west looking into and ‘discovering’ China? He also cops a /shit ton/ of racist flack from chatters and ‘fans’ irl and as far as I can tell it’s not adequately pushed back on by his community, I’ve said it previously but there’s a whole swathe of Chinese kids who now think it’s funny and cool to shout the n word at black and brown people because of the plausible deniability they’re saying a near-homophonous Chinese word. There’s been people immitating monkeys at him and a girl in cosplay who straight up came and said ‘Im racist I hate n words’. The comments on that video were a mix between “This paints the otaku community in a bad light”, “otaku are just like this” and “yes, I’m racist too so what of it”.
We can’t lay that at all at Speed’s feet, but likewise we shouldn’t lay some weird ambassadorship at his feet either… I’ve said I’m in two minds about it. His stream has also shown some really touching moments like meeting his shifu, meeting the girl from shaoxing on the boat in HK, but these are person to person moments not person to country moments.
From the commentary here, I’ve got some reading and watching to do re. minstrelship in the online era. Fd signifier was willing to give speed the benefit of the doubt and I am too, but I can’t tell whether his overall impact re. the China trip and perceptions of black people in the country has improved on the balance, or if it’s making inroads for western anti-black internet culture to continue to proliferate. The flip side benefit appears to be that more people outside China are seeing it in a relatively unfiltered way, but that’s a trend that was already happening and is hopefully accelerating.
“Oh shit, I just ate some [IBS trigger food] but, I seem okay, maybe I’m over that one and I can eat a bit more”
“This person seems cool and understanding, maybe I can tell them about my GI problems and how it affects my social life and ability to commit to things”
Kinda fucked up that the seasons are the opposite in the northern hemisphere tbh
I found youtube, just typed it into the search bar and it came up
I don’t know if this is in reference to a particular post kr anything, I’m guessing it’s regarding the long-form video game analysis? But i did notice you were gone and missed your posting. I don’t think it’s cringe at all
If nico nico niii is so good why isn’t there a nico nico san
Nah, their description of cop work seemed too superficial imo like theu described it as standing around at protests and ignoring calls in their cruiser. They also said NYC is woke and they’re not permitted to rough up civies :do-not-laugh:
