i’m watching a british youtuber’s birthday stream and an aussie viewer sent in a comment saying “why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all? because he had no say in it, no say in it at all” which was received with confused existential horror, and this is how i just discovered that australian happy birthday songs are not universal
oops
do you not sing this in other countries?!?!??
NO we do not sing a lament for someone’s personal beauty wishing they’d never been born. That is some weird Greek tragedy shit.
what i expected out of The Punisher: generic, stereotypical hypermasculine white male revenge fantasy
what Netflix gave me: an incredibly sad and highly nuanced story about PTSD, loss, grief, family—blood and found, conspiracy, and the ways the government fails & betrays our servicemembers & veterans (with a heaping side of bloody violence)
