Western Washing

When a Movie / TV studio changes certain aspects in history / stories to appeal the Western market. This usually leads to European and Asian works being disrespected and falsified to push a narrative the original story was never trying to push.

It has also been criticized by Western audience the shows are appealing to for being lazy and disrespectful to the original work.

Some examples include: Lord of The Rings, The Witcher, Cowboy Beebop, Queen Cleopatra, The Little Mermaid and Velma

Person A: "Hey dude you gonna see that Cowboy Beebop remake?"

Person B: "Hell no, did you not hear their Western Washing so they can appeal to West? I'm just so tired of it"

Michael Jackson's early warning system

When you rig your home or place of work with a mechanism to identify if someone is coming to find you.

luckily I heard that squeaky door open when my mum came home, I was able to close all my pornhub windows and tuck my cock under my belt / cover it with my t-shirt. thank god for my Michael Jackson's early warning system.
