That Street Fighter: The Movie actually passes the Bechdel test.

There are some surprisingly pandering and schlocky things that pass the Bechdel test!
Some of which shouldn't be discussed in polite company.

It's almost like it's arbitrary bullshit!

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

It'd be hilarious to see porn movies marketed with a tag that states "Passes the Bechdel Test!"

Or like it's not meant to judge the quality of a movie, but meant to be a reflection of the status of women in Hollywood! But it's more likely just arbitrary bullshit from radical feminists.

I'd watch a porn called the bechdel test.

Also, let's be realistic here constantine, the bechdel test is completely useless for judging the merits of an individual movie. In that sense it is absolutely arbitrary bullshit. It is only useful as a as reflection of the etc, etc, when you have a pattern of several movies failing the bechdel test.

That those things you see in media where water runs through a stick of bamboo and makes a knocking noise, establishing that you're now at a Japanese shrine, are called "Shishi-odoshi" or, "Deer Scarers"

They're used to scare away birds with the noise. In some parts of Japan, they're called "Lion Scarers", because apparently lion attacks are a problem in Japan.

You never hear of any lion attacks at shrines, so it must work.

"What's this thing?"
"Oh, it's a little fountain. The water runs in, fills up the hollow bamboo, then it tips over and makes a konk noise."
"...why?"
"To scare away birds."
"Oh. Well, what are you going to call it?"
"Deer-scarer."

I've always wanted one. I called them "those things that go 'donk'."
