With all of the Venom related rumours about Spider-Man 4 it seems kinda likely. I mean seeing Tom's Spidey in the Symbiote suit fighting Knull would be insanely awesome. It's all just rumours right now but with Knull being in Venom: The Last Dance trailer it seems pretty likely it's setting up Knull as the main villain in Spider-Man 4, the film is also rumoured to be called "Spider-Man King in Black", which is the name of the comic story with Knull. If this is all true I think that would be a really good time to give Tom Holland's Spider-Man the Symbiote Suit. What do you all think?

Yes solitaire counts but I'm judging you HARD loser!

If you like Uno, Pokemon or Cards Against Humanity lmk that too!

Betty Boop was the first case of cartoon sëx symbol who was used as a form of approval. Betty Boop is one of America's oldest cultural appropriations. Animators depicted Betty Boop as a white entertainer, but truth be told, the character was inspired by a black woman. Her vocal trademark, “Boop Oop A Doop,” and her contoured figure in a form-fitting dress trace back to a black woman by the name of Esther Jones.

Esther “Baby Esther” Jones was a jazz singer known for her “baby” singing style who performed at Harlem’s Cotton Club in the 1920s.

White jazz singer and entertainer Helen Kane allegedly appropriated Jones’s singing style after attending her cabaret act in 1928.

Fastforward years later and Jessica Rabbit became a sëx symbol but if you look closely at her features. She models features similar to a black woman then the so called "Veronica Lake" inspiration. If you look at her body, most often black women carry the big butt and breasts. If you look at her face, she has thick lips and her nose is flat even though animators almost blurred it out.

Everyone here keeps saying that the "monoculutre is dead" but it seems to some people that YouTubers, Streamers, TikTokers are the equivalent to Disney and Nickelodeon stars of the 00's and 2010's in terms of what pre-teens and teens are consuming.

I can't name any people who are popular on YouTube at the moment since I am no longer the target audience, but it seems to people that YouTube, TikTok, etc... are more global than Disney Channel and Nickelodeon ever were. Disney and Nick were premium TV channels in many countries in the 00's and 2010's, meanwhile smartphones have become affordable and are common in low-income developing countries and many people can watch YouTube, TikTok for free. I assume that these YouTubers and TikTokers are the monoculture for people who were born in 2009-2019.

I don't think someone like Ray William Johnson (who was the most subscribed YouTuber form the late 00's and early 2010's) was more famous than Miley Cyrus at the time (this was back when reaching 1 million views in 24 hours was A LOT), but perhaps as well known as Amanda Bynes but he did seem pretty popular from when I was in gradeschool. I can only assume that there are some YouTubers that have already surpassed what the equivalent to Miley Cyrus was in the 00's.
