  • You should go reread your previous comment. You did say those exact words, which is why I repeated them. And to be fair to me previously, in my highest level comment I did ask you to clarify your words and you refused to explain so you are leaving everyone else to interpret.

    In my interpretation, that’s what popular means: prevalent amongst the general public, in which case yes Hitler counts. You may be trying a different usage of the word, but you weren’t clarifying that. I would also like to let you know you are also coming off generally as a prick while being so antagonistic, hence why many people are responding the way they are in this thread.


  • When you say nearly as popular, you are losing me. Again, in my experience, I could talk to a random person on the street and they could probably tell me Superman’s real name is Clark Kent, or draw the symbol, or tell me he lived in Smallville, or any one of a number of random trivia. Even if they aren’t comic readers (myself included) Superman has firmly secured itself in the cultural zeitgeist. Meanwhile, I’ve never watched One Punch Man, couldn’t tell you what the main characters name is or what they look like, or tell you what city they lived in, etc. I think you may be hyper inflating the popularity amongst your own circle and projecting that into the world at large.


  • Many of those people did not turn into Americans? Colonists began arriving in the 15th century, America was not a thing until the 18th century. So for nearly 300 years of outsiders on Native soil, no they were not American. They would not have called themselves that, nor would the natives have associated that word or flag with them. I mentioned those other places because you brought them up? The colonists were intrinsically not American, and you were discussing the colonists. I’m not interested in discussing further as I feel I’ve made my point and have simply been repeating it over and over and really don’t want to engage with you as you do not seem willing to accept the details at hand and are seemingly becoming agitated.


  • I think I’m confused about what you mean now. When the colonists first arrived, none of them were American, nor using the American flag as shown in the original picture, because it didn’t exist yet. They were specifically using other flags because they were citizens of other colonial nations. If your point is colonialism and the treatment of native people was bad, then yes of course you are correct. But if your point is that it was U.S. Americans doing it with an American government and American policies in place, then you are incorrect. Other places are unfortunately bad too, not just the United States.



  • What do you mean by so popular in comparison? Maybe it’s a local cultural thing or an age thing, but I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of people in the U.S. could tell you who Superman is vs. who One Punch Man is. It could also be an age thing I guess: Superman has been around in the cultural consciousness in the U.S. since the 1940s, where One Punch Man looks like it came out in 2009.





  • Another question, you mentioned the blender files. I assume it does the same thing for blender files. Like if I have models of three characters and I go and change one then save the project again, it would show the original first two, the original last one, and the changed last one? Or does it save and update a copy of every file whether or not it’s been changed?
