Is Legend of the White Minority based off a fairly anime-ish cartoon series?

The comic was great, but Anxious Masculinity 3 practically had me freaking dying.

MAN GUNS!

"This car is basically my penis."

Oh man, did that get me. I've wanted to shout that at so many action-packed flicks.

It's amazing how much better you can feel about being a social shut-in obsessed with an international sub-culture when you see the grade-A crap that's being vomited outta Hollywood sometimes.

I think - and I am probably wrong here - but I think it is supposed to be a critique of the live-action Avatar the Last Airbender.

Anxious Masculinity 3 was my favourite too.

Great to see you're back Robin.

Haha, too accurate.

Glad to have you back with a new strip, although I did also enjoy the commentary on older strips. <3

Now Keonyn knows why I hate Hollywood. But I still wanna see The Expendables, at least, even if it probably falls under that penis-car joke. And I wonder if we'll be seeing any Scott Pilgrim parodies in a future strip.

That and nearly every other movie set in Asia that Hollywood has ever made...

I'm going to hop on the Inception bandwagon, and also add that this was extremely quality

Yup... That's how I feel about movies sometimes (although I do like explosions... lol). Good thing anime is always there for us, huh??

Great to have you back Robin... Wink

Oh yes, overplayed parodies for the sake of comedy in a weekly comedy strip is truly the most obvious example of reality for us to understand your bias against something. Hey, I saw a minority play a gangster on "Law and Order" the other night, I think that justifies racism too doesn't it? We know why you hate it, even if you've convinced yourself otherwise. Regardless, you're again trying to turn a thread in to something else and use it to soapbox yet again, so knock it off because I'm getting tired of telling you this.
