Israel is less a country and more the forward operating base of United States in the Middle East. Until the place runs out of oil we aren't getting off the petro-dollar which means we aren't getting out of the Middle East anytime soon. As long as we are there we need the foothold Israel provides.

>>10893271
As a follow up to my previous post >>10893685 although Japan is a country, it's also an extremely cucked country and has served as the forward operating base for the US in the Pacific since the end of WWii. Almost the entirety of the Korean war and Vietnam were ran through Japan. Again the phrase "US empire" isn't metaphorical. We have these kind of relationships across the glove to enforce our hegemony.

Anon is correct that modern Japanese pop culture wouldn't exist with the US being heavily involved in Japan. It's a weird blending US pop culture, anxieties over Japan losing their empire and sense of self, and rebranding for Western facing audiences.

I don't understand Anons schizo fantasy about the US not being involved in a Pacific war and the Soviets taking over Japan as if the US wasn't in the Pacific since the war in the Philippines in 1899? If anyone was going to take that island it was us. We called dibs when Perry opened up the country.

The CIA specifically wants to you do the job without thinking about the implications of the job. If that means being a irony poisoned weeb? Fine. If that means being college grad that is centering their oneness? Fine. Whatever cope you need to continue the surveillance state and motive the mentally unwell to commit mass shootings.
>>
>>10893701
You do get that most people who do these jobs are post military or college grads. Also very few people in the military law enforcement and Intel world are political belive it or not. Everyone just wants to get home safely at a reasonable hour, get work done, pay bills and engage with whatever hobby you like be it anime cosplay or games.
The vast majority of work is extremely mundane, but your so beyond help with your "glowie" conspiracy that you litterally cant fathom this work without some nefarious movite. Also the CIA and by extension the military doesn't control US policy despite what you may think. That power lies with the House, and I can tell you this much no-one in thsr world is a fan of congress fucking with pay/material support and putting people I harms way.

That’s just not true and you know it. AatP, AtePie, Putumayo, and even Moitie have put out wrist cuffs and they’re certainly not making OTT sweet dresses.
>>
>>10893713
i meant that it is really only an expectation in OTT sweet, not in any other substyle. not that other substyles don’t use it. other substyles obviously use them to a lesser extent, but it is basically expected you wear them in ott
>>
>>10893749
nayrt but agree. even classic brands have released wrist cuffs, but that doesn't mean they're commonly worn in classic, either. ntm depending on the design, wrist cuffs from brands like moitie can easily be used in non gothic coords. wrist cuffs used to be a little more common in old school gothic substyle; in modern gothic they're less common, and more often have longer and more elaborate designs than sweet wrist cuffs, which are typically rather small. some gothic wrist cuffs are almost armwarmer sized. even then gloves seem more popular.

Western women ruined cosplay.
It started back in 2015~ when random normies would come to cosplay cons to hook up with girls there. That's also when grils started putting on a wig and a bikini calling it a cosplay.
Nowadays the word cosplay is synonymous with porn. A word your uncle probably knows too. If you tell someone you cosplay they're gonna think you're an online prostitute or a real life one.

Seems about right for the furry fandom

I have a suit, I debuted it at a popular regional con about a month ago. I'm paranoid to post it here as usual since that'd be the same as doxxing myself, but I will say that if you got a picture with me, you would remember. I was the best dragon there. Everything about the con was great except for the heat exhaustion. That was not great, but I survived.

Pic related is not me, that's another fursuiter I saw at the same con. Some of you will recognize who this character is. If you guys are curious I can try to dig up more of my old con photos and think of some con stories to share. I like cgl and I wish this board got more traffic. I also wish the furry fandom was more open to imageboard culture and just chiller overall. It's all way too centered around twitter/discord/twitch these days and the furries in those communities tend to be hyper-sensitive and flip their shit over the most mundane things. So I guess it's up to me to be the change I wish to see in the world.

>>10891076
If this is your suit I really like it. If not, I still like it. It's cute and goes well with your camo t-shirt. Wish I had some suit photos of myself in the woods.

Because normies and attention whores will always goes for the easy and trendy stuff. Quiet could be a good way to justify wearing a slutty cosplay but she's not a FOTM waifu and the Haven Trooper design, or any tactical design really, is way to much work for these someone as lazy as them. Beside I don't think they'd be the kind to want to hide their face.

I would apply this to any trendy character that you might like, if it's a shitty cheap cosplay then that guy doesn't care too much about the character. That might be why all the new annoying cosplayers are going for Spider-Man because it's the new big trend and they're all aware now of how Deadpool cosplayers are seen by others.

I'm extremely conflicted if I want to drop from my Katsu room. On one hand I haven't really had fun there in years and it kind of feels like I'm just going out of habit.
