Anon watches The Expanse

and the numerous charity streams that independent but related to Destiny and Bungie streamers have done. And that’s just Destiny. I could do this for centuries in any avenue of pop culture you want to be upset about.

But y’all don’t wanna hear me, you just wanna dance.

The hell does that have to do with The Expanse or Destiny?

The belters made me racist towards belters. It seemed like they just wanted to be hated at every turn. Excepts a handfull.

[-]

EducationalCan2072@reddit

Did they though? Like they're demographic that has evolved under the boot of "home". It's not far off today where we out source the human suffering to 3rd world countries. Would you be shocked if those people are dumb and annoying af but still deserve a better life.

[-]

Guardiancomplex@reddit

A lot of the show belters are wildly short sighted, self destructive and petty.

Those that are that way come by it honestly, but it still is what it is.

[-]

EducationalCan2072@reddit

My man, you are just describing humans in general. We all struggle with planning out long term plans

[-]

Guardiancomplex@reddit

I don't know man, speak for yourself. I do not struggle at all with being more competent and forward thinking than the Ilus gang or the stumblefucks who run Black Sky.

For every Drummer there were a hundred Nikils.

sadacal@reddit

Ok dude. What do you think about climate change?

[-]

Guardiancomplex@reddit

?

I think the oil companies and mineral companies fucked us and lobbyists should all be in prison. Wtf does that have to do with this?

[-]

sadacal@reddit

You don't think short term thinking and lack of long term planning had anything to do with it? It appears the entire human race is struggling with climate change due to a lack of long term planning.

[-]

Guardiancomplex@reddit

The entire human race is struggling with climate change because of our unwillingness/inability to hold 100 companies and 1000 men accountable for their actions.

You're missing the mark by blaming the species for climate change. Like 85% of all emissions are entirely caused by about 100 petrochemical companies plus the US, Russian, Chinese, Indian and a few other militaries.

[-]

sadacal@reddit

And there is no political pressure to change that because people don't want to have to change their lifestyles in the short term in order to protect the environment in the long term.

Change can come from consumers or big companies. Covid showed that if everyone just decided to not drive as much we could see some insanely good things for the environment. People just don't want to.

CzechAkoPoleno@reddit

Who's talking about you?? He literally said humans on general not you specifically...

[-]

EducationalCan2072@reddit

Oh nah I wasn't talking individually, I'll spend months learning Spanish. I'm talking about a group of people such as the belters.

As a leader/council determining the best path forward whilst also apeasing the people following you.

Planning and following, with the long term outcomes and variables. Yeah we as a species struggle with that.

Never mind the the leaders selfish interests

[-]

SnakeOilPlagueDoctor@reddit

It was the martians for me. Belters made sense enough, give them the shit work, pilfer their resources for centuries, and treat them like shit, yeah it makes sense their pissed off.

The martians though? "OOOHHH RAEEHHH WE GONNA MELT THE EARTHAS NOW FELLAS OOOOHHH? WHAT? NOOO? BUT EART HAS TO DIIIIEEEEEE WHY ARE WE NOT DYYIIINNGG EART? WHADDABOUT THE TERRAFORMINNNNNN?" Fucking annoying cretins. Glass the whole planet.

BanzaiKen@reddit

How far are you in the series (both the original series and continuation on Amazon) or books? Because that entire rah rah rah jingoism is to prop up their massive bullshit mil industrial complex. As soon as the Gate is secured and outer worlds able to be colonized Mars turns into this toothless backwater that anyone with any common sense emigrated from. Mars is stuck relying on its rapidly obsolescing military tech and citizens it constantly brainwashes to accept even the shittiest quality of life to stay politically relevant even by the end of the Amazon series. Its probably the biggest FU to Russia Ive seen in most modern media.

Q_dawgg@reddit

Is this an expanse joke? I kinda want to watch that show but I’m scared of it being television slop instead of cinema

[-]

Daveallen10@reddit

The show is top notch, not slop at all. I just think people consistently have a hard time getting past the first 2-3 episodes since it's a bit slower and there's a lot of characters. Things kick off by episode 4 and then you really get a sense of how spectacular the show is. Follow-on seasons are even better.

Something this good may never be made again.

[-]

Buttchugger2@reddit

The first two episodes are famously the lowest rated in the entire series (still a respectable 7.5).

[-]

Daveallen10@reddit

It's funny because on a rewatch I love the first few episodes for that feeling of seeing the world fresh knowing where everything is going.

[-]

Q_dawgg@reddit

Are you uh, saying it left an…Expanse? In television culture?

[-]

Subjugatealllife@reddit

First three seasons were great, then it took a pretty big dive in writing quality.

[-]

blumpk1np1e@reddit

It's good watch it. I'd say it's 80% good 20% cringe but worth it. Especially first few seasons

[-]

5000gr@reddit

It's not cinema, but it's not slop either. First few episodes are a bit rough, but it catches on fast. Peaks in season 3, but 4 to 6 are still fine. Recommendable.

[-]

itsyaboihos@reddit

I liked the first couple seasons of it but it felt like the story dropped off a bit after that imo

anon discovers system racism

[-]

zombieGenm_0x68@reddit

context?

[-]

Le_Montagne@reddit

OP is a mongoloid with confirmation bias. It is explicitly stated over and over in the books that belters are sticklers for adhering to procedures that safeguard the group, never slacking on safety regs or maintenance. They are also not a monolith, as the belt is vast and many different socioeconomic classes are represented, with the description given by OP only applying to the absolute poorest of the original belters, whose situations have largely improved as time passed

[-]

SpottedWobbegong@reddit

Yeah, and overall the books are very sympathetic towards the Belters, and the main characters spend a lot of time trying to ensure a better spot for them.

[-]

blumpk1np1e@reddit

The accents seemed to be Caribbean except dawes who sounded like he was from hong kong. Then in the later seasons it was something in between

[-]

BanzaiKen@reddit

Belter towns are madeup of the languages of poor peoples that couldnt afford to live on Earth. They all have different accents as a result.

[-]

Sethleoric@reddit (OP)

In the show/book the expanse there's a culture of people called Belters who are treated like crap, have fucked up skeletons and like tattoos and speak a future creole dialect. Honestly i took this from a Drummer waifu thread.

Eh, It's archived and it's mostly just a general expanse thread but half the anons want to fuck the Belters.

[-]

Thendrail@reddit

So, even in the future, anon imagines a better man cucking him? Because let's be serious, this is where anon is eventually going.

[-]

Ssyynnxx@reddit

Its a show, idk what op is on about though

[-]

EducationalCan2072@reddit

Believe he's referring to the group of people from the book series the expanse.

They're seen as the slave labour for the rest of the solar system who are kept under the boot of the upper class.

hypoglycemia420@reddit

The show belters are more crackhead esque than the book ones. Makes sense for drama and tension and conflict but in the books they’re portrayed as fairly competent since they’re all basically combination nuclear physicists/astronauts/geologists/etc

God i miss the Destiny 1 days. Not because the game was amazing, but for the fun i had. Even if that fun came when others were starting to go out and build a social and sexual life.

[-]

DUBToster@reddit

Wtf is a belter ?!

[-]

buttcheeksontoast@reddit

Adding onto OP's explanation that the term "Belter" likely refers to the fact that the folks in question live and work in the asteroid belt region of the solar system, or other small rocky outposts

[-]

DUBToster@reddit

That make sense !

[-]

Sethleoric@reddit (OP)

Humans adapted to low gravity and space from the scifi nerd book franchisw: The Expanse. Often taller than humans, fucked up skeletons, have tattoos, often looked upon like dirt because a lot of them are stinky miners and they speak a funny future creole dialect.
