I have finally—FINALLY!—gotten to see the first part of the new Dune movie. What a film. I was worried going in, but I'm very pleased.
Now I finally know what Dune memes regular people are likely to know—and, more importantly, which they do *not*.
Just noticed that I'll say "fant-four-stic" to myself when I want to say 'fantastic' but don't really mean it and won't expend the energy to use a sarcastic tone.
I've probably been doing that since that movie released and only just noticed it.
Never saw that movie, by the way.
What set me off on this was a reddit thread about L. Frank Baum having a newspaper where he often said that all Native Americans should be killed. I had no idea author of the Wizard of Oz *advocated for genocide*. You'd think this'd come up a bit more!
Naturally, from there, the thread turned into Famous Racists Fucked Up Beliefs Catalogued thread.
@WizardOfDocs I've had a few things like this lately, and have felt like a fool every time.
Thinking about it, I think where the line is gets determined by how likely the designer is to be wrong about their assumptions on what the user will expect/do--so, variable to both design and designer. It's the missed predictions and bad assumptions that mostly cause issues, I think.
