  1. A couple weeks ago, I had to do a presentation on the topic of Native American stereotypes. Part of that was the prevalence of this type of imagery in sports teams branding. I think one of the bigger issues here is the constant negative portrayal of Native Americans. The average person today when thinking about a Native American probably still has the mental image of a savage warrior who rides on horses and wears headdresses with warpaint...even though that's a complete misconception. Media portrayal of this stereotype is a huge factor because of the common misrepresentation. When you see a Native American on your TV, it's most likely going to be of an old war movie or a segment on a history channel. Modern day representation is almost non-existent, and when they are shown, it's usually in a negative light. Imo, the Kings logo here feeds into this with the "war bonnet" as found by @solas and the overall warrior-like feel. On top of all that, you of course have the culture appropriation. Seeing the amount of racial and cultural figured being used as a mascot for profit is mind-boggling, and seeing how in a way we are using this logo for money, it's something that needs to change. if you'd like a fantastic website that can explain this stuff better than I can, I recommend this one: https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/native/homepage.htm there's a section at the end regarding sports franchises.
  2. And plus, I was found with Doctor invest results while Osens was found with HM results. He's either hexed or the HM and I'm either Doc or Disguiser as the PM is dead. Osens is the more logical vote here.
  3. Though here's the thing, why am I being pushed? A perfect explanation for the veteran situation was provided and it just goes back to whether you trust me or osens. We were all voting osens earlier but started to vote me because of Hatter's argument. But if that one was proven false, shouldn't we jump back to sens? Or am I suddenly less trustworthy?
  4. if you want to kill me, at least get my name right
  5. That's what I think happened as well Flex. HM with necro used an astral visit on Hatter and he is now hexed. I just know with 100% certainty that osens is lying.
  6. I was on omg last night. I will be self healing tonight Is there an updated list of roles? There's definitely something hidden around there, whether that's some vamps, or an arso, or maybe one of our experienced players is trying out the hidden SK strat.
  7. 1. Me, of course. They don't call me RJ "Points" Thatcher for nothing. 2. Uhh the Mighty Americans I don't know any hockey movies. 3. Probably Discord as it's easier to access for me. 4. New York Americans. 5. Rap, listening to Kanye and Tyler right now.
  8. Sure. Hatty the Doc N1: Eagles (claimed jailor) N2: (forgot) N3: Flex (tp chain??) N4: Flex (I trust nobody else) Vote 16z
  9. being transed switches who visits you, not who you visit
  10. PM might have the necro and chose to use a heal/invest potion
  11. before I forget, vote MATTY
  12. fun situation. Sixers could be exe, but I honestly doubt he'd wait till D4 to make a push. That option is still open though. more likely situation is that ya boi was looking mad sus yesterday because he was arguing with the jailor claim and a framer decided to be useful for once. Frames are always a bit unlikely, but it's a perfect storm for one to happen. @Devise can you post your full will?
  13. considering I was definitely not jailed by our jester, I was on Flex last night
  14. lefty is busy streaming an SBA event, so I doubt he'll be on tonight.
  15. yeah so um that voting was very strange. Nothing on Lefty but as soon as someone drops Barzal's name we have like 4 votes in a row for him.
  16. yeah lol lefty's evil vote lefty
  17. TP chain tonight bb? I'm on you, you on me, and no one can touch us. I doubt I'll be jailed.
