I picked up this copy of a Tintin comic in a waiting room. My first time reading Tintin as an adult. These comics are racist as f**k. The coloniser gaze is everywhere. As a child, I felt it but could never articulate it.
Edit: I found this Wikipedia page about it. This is indeed one of the most racist of the Tintin comic albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_in_the_Congo

I remember one Tintin comic calling gypsies (the Roma in Europe) thieves and other names.

@rohini yeah, this hit different in school when we learned about the atrocities Belgium committed in the Congo. Really fucked, and in Brussel the statue of King Leopold II still stand, like he wasn't instrumental to it. -

@rohini yikes. That book is unacceptable in any era, but really should not be put out as browsing material in a waiting room today!

@mlncn well, most of the material in that waiting room was present-day Hindu supremacist stuff. So, the choice of Tintin kinda makes sense.

@rohini I have a set of Tintin books called “The Complete Collection” but this isn’t in it as they like to pretend it doesn’t exist. Not even a mention if it, “too racist even for us” or anything.

@aegir I remember another one in which 'gypsies' (the Roma) are called names.

@rohini Yeah, anything not Western European in the books is corrupt, violent and not to be trusted.

@mehluv well, 'explicitly fascist' clocks.

yup. they’re horrible.
i grew up in Puerto Rico, so my exposure to TinTín was via a kids’ magazine from Argentina called Billikén. at one point they added them as a mini zine in the middle of the mag. i’d just ripped it out immediately.
it’s so horrible, i use TinTín as a measure of how racist someone is. cannot tell you how disappointed i was when Stephen Spielberg went out and made a whole ass movie. then i checked the credits. it gets worse:

@rohini Belgium in a nutshell. They are still selling little chocolate hands in the shops and in you order a Lumumba in there, they bring a "hot chocolate with a shot" as if history was a joke.

@rohini whelp, that's a lot of "yikes" compressed into three pages.

@rohini Oof - that was your first one?! That’s the one that usually is banned along with “Tintin in the Land of the Soviets” for the same reason (I think).

@oblomov @d10c4n3 @lorcon @andre123 necessaria a finire il conflitto in modo volontario, immagino
Poi dove sta la volontarietà si può anche discutere, ma è altra discussione (quando ci si arrende perché sconfitti, non si ha più possibilità di continuare come guerra, per evitare distruzione totale ecc è cessazione "meno volontaria", resa)
E fino a dove è cessazione conflitto e fin dove ci si può spingere fino alla resa si può definire, ma la discussione verteva su cessazione conflitto, ok

I finally reached Tournai. The train controller announced a connection to Lille 5 min later. I boarded that train without a ticket. Luckily there were no ticket controls. Belgium was still in shock about the events.
I reached home half an hour later. My work laptop and my luggage would stay at Brussels airport for a month before I could make the trip to retrieve it. And luckily I live close enough to make that trip.
The whole thing made me reconsider my life.

While I was purchasing my ticket (with the money in the wallet I was supposed to leave on the plane 🤬) a lost Canadian begged for help.
He didn't have any euros and he had to go to Antwerp, which was a stop on the train to Ghent, as I told him. He tried to purchase a ticket with his card but it didn't work, so I paid for his ticket and got a 20 Canadian dollars bill in my wallet.
Luckily his company had an office in Antwerp, so he would be taken care of once there.
