The downside of this is that historically the token gay scenes they shoehorn into fucking everything had to be brief enough that they could be easily edited out for the Chinese releases. Now China's not a market option anyway they have free reign to go full retard and turn the whole film into a pride parade.
Yes but now when they flop domestically for their shit films, they can't remove a bunch of the shit and present it to Chinks to cover the production costs.

It is genuinely infuriating me how hard it is to give people money online in a reliable way without breaking anonymity. The personal details of the people sending me money over PayPal have never been relevant to me, ever. Why does PayPal even NEED to show you them? I don't care! Stop showing me!

The InvaderVie clip is the reason I stopped tipping streamers on PayPal and am INTENSELY hesitant of any method to tip streamers that isn't just superchat, members, twitch subs, or twitch bits.

I'm okay with it because doxxing someone because of their PayPal donations is something I've never witnessed before and would make you an instant pariah about as effectively as walking into a daycare centre and asking if you could buy one of the toddlers. But I can understand why other people don't want to donate because of how it works.

Also I just got my first cryptoscam twitter contact mere minutes after talking about bitcoin on Discord. How fascinatingly well-timed.

Intentionally doxing your donors would be a death wish, but there are several people I'd be hesitant to give my information to because they're prone to non-malicious negligence. The time Miori accidentally doxed a bunch of her fans comes to mind.

Crypto's probably the best bet for places like this where people are typically conscious of their privacy since even the less-secure coins at least have an extra degree of separation between the donor's information and the recipient. It's just frustrating that it's not as retard-proof as PayPal so the mainstream will never adopt it.

And Hollywood can burn into the ground quicker, and nothing of value will be lost.

It's been a bit of a project in certain sectors to bring Vietnam into the US Sphere of influence. The irony is not lost on anyone, but it's also probably important to remember there is a lot of Vietnamese in the USA for some very logical reasons. Rather than being a source of Communist infiltration, it's being used as a vehicle for Capitalist infiltration. Mostly because the Almighty Dollar still wins. There's been US intertest in big upgrades at Da Nang, which is a wild thing to say.

Though the war concluded 52 years ago for the USA. Things move on. It also doesn't hurt that it wasn't a uniform country vs country in the Vietnam war, so it doesn't come with the same levels of animosity. That's mostly reserved for domestic politics over the war.
Vietnam already let go of its animosity for the US a decade ago, all under the effort of 1 ex-POW named John McCain, we erected a memorial for him and he's widely regarded as a national hero. I can tell you any US citizen will be welcomed in here with open arms. If a somali copycat get shanked in here, it would have absolutely 0 to do with him being an US citizen and more of us being open to stabbing and slicing.


The height of US-Vietnam relation was during Obama regime, when he came here, people literally grovelled at his feet and begged for his scraps. The US wasn't stupid (before trump), they already tried influencing and taking Vietnam under its wing many years ago to check the growth of China.


But it went from "strategic partnership" into "taking care of a baby" after trump is elected. And I have 0 faith our impromptu babysitters can sooth of his current tariff tantrum. Our new president himself is already showing a lot of signs of dictatorship, he's already half way done at consolidating all governing prowess into the hands of the military.

I know you mean the 5 dollar clip, but when I read "the InvaderVie clip", I instinctively think of this masterpiece:

No the five dollar clip is NOT what I mean.

For some fuck reason I couldn't find the thing as a video on its own so I had to snip some ItsAGundam video, (7:53).

That clip made me swear off ever using paypal directly to tip streamers. I want at least 1 degree of separation whether that be Amazon, Google, whoever. Or I use Bitcoin for the few who want to receive it.

EDIT: turns out I should have searched on Reddit, rather than youtube.

Even back in the 90s, PJ O'Rourke wrote about how Vietnam was becoming a capitalist country and looking to move towards the US and away from China.

In current events, the Trump admin is setting tariffs for everyone who has come to the table back to 10% for the time being, and hitting China even harder.

I hope your president goes full dictator and puts people like you in camps.

The only thing Vietnam is good for us that they pay lots of money for you to marry their women

See ladies, even men make more when whoring out. Sad
