gays help me out, also leave your answer + your orientation in the tags

Discourse about new superhero media I’ve been seeing lately is honestly so dumb. Batman and Superman didn’t pop out of their mothers wombs as full grown men in super funky outfits.

Yes, a lot of recent media only focuses on their more adult years but just because a new media shows them as young men doesn’t mean it’s ‘inaccurate’

My Adventures With Superman shows a new superman, one who is goofy and as awkward as any young person doing something new. And I love it! It’s a breath of fresh air!

And someone said that the latest Batman movie with Robert Pattinson isn’t Batman cause he looks like ‘a depressed teen’. Newsflash it’s a young batman he isn’t one that we are used to seeing in the movies. He’s new at his job! (And Bruce probably was a depressed teen, he literally witnessed his parents murder and dressing as a bat isn’t the logical option for someone with a healthy mind)

“This isn’t what the fans want!” Yes it is! It’s what I want! I want goofy superheroes! I want them to be kind to each other and have fun!

(Wayne Family Adventures is literally getting more reads than the recent Batman comics and that means something)

Just because a piece media doesn’t depict your favorite version of a character doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. I like these new stories, I am relate to a new Batman and a young Superman far better than what I saw in Batman vs Superman. I hate to break it to you but, they’re for young new audiences. And as a member of the young new audience I think I have the authority to say that It Is Good.

And just cause something is goofy or different doesn’t mean it’s bad

My bf studied japanese in high school and often says "gambate!" (not sure of spelling) to be like. encouraging. I think it means roughly "let's get this bread." However, as someone who took spanish in high school, it always sounds like a command to me. And as near as I can tell, in spanish it would mean "go shrimp yourself."

I'm definitely not a fluent speaker, so I could be wrong, but here's how I got there:

In Spanish, some (informal, I think?) commands are formed by dropping the "r" from the end of an infinitive verb. (Every infinitive verb in Spanish ends in r.) For example, "to run" is "correr." If you want to tell someone to run, it's "corre." If you want to tell someone to do something to something/someone, you append a little pronoun thing to the end. From "besar" (to kiss) we get "bésame" (kiss me). From "cocinar" (to cook) we get "cocínalo" (cook it). From "callar" (to silence) we get "cállate" (silence yourself/shut up).

So, "gambate" immediately reminds me of "cállate," which is a rude command. It would be formed from the verb "gambar" and the second person object "te" for "you/yourself." But "gambar" isn't a word in Spanish. However, "gamba" is a word. It means "shrimp." So while it isn't technically grammatically correct, in the same way we "verb" nouns in English, the noun "gamba" is being used in the place of a verb here. "Gambate" (or more properly "gámbate" to maintain the correct stress for both the Spanish and Japanese). "Go shrimp yourself."

Native spanish speaker. You're quite right about your linguistics here, and spanish speakers love to make up new words by conjugating existing words (at the very least, my parents do)

My confusion stemmed from never having heard the word gamba before. To my knowledge the word for shrimp is camarón

So i looked it up and apparently gamba actually means prawn. So it's actually go prawn yourself

iirc one of the battle royale actors is now a lefty politician and like, assaulted someone in diet or something

good for him

Reiwa Shinsengumi (Yamamoto's party) also 100% backs every (gay and) trans right measures and champions disability rights. The lawmakers that necessitated adding even more mobility measures in the Japanese Diet Building all came from Reiwa Shinsengumi. Few of the only trans candidates running for elections in the last few years have almost all (if not outright all) campaigned with Reiwa Shinsengumi. It's an incredible party that has moved JCP towards a more progressive policy for LGBT+ and disability rights.

Also holy shit that's the dopest name for a political party I've ever heard.
