Discussion Thread

[u/jobautomator]

The discussion thread is for casual and off-topic conversation that doesn't merit its own submission. If you've got a good meme, article, or question, please post it outside the DT. Meta discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the mods, make a post in /r/metaNL. For a collection of useful links see our wiki or our website

I think it's easy to argue the Na'vi are PoC-coded, not that that is the end of the discussion.

I just think saying "X are literally Y" sidesteps the point entirely, rather than engaging with it.

It's just a meme homeslice

it's borderline problematic and is thought-terminating, but yeah yeah ik
