Beloved UNC Mascot: Rameses Rameses, the beloved mascot of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, holds a special place in the hearts of students and fans alike. This regal ram has been a symbol of school spirit and pride since 1924, making appearances at sporting events and other university activities. **Rameses is a revered figure on campus**, embodying the values and traditions that make UNC a respected institution. The current Rameses, known as Rameses XXIV, is the latest in a long line of rams to serve as the mascot. This lineage adds a sense of continuity and history to the position. **The image of Rameses is iconic**, with his striking blue and white Ram horns and Tar Heel blue cape.
Cons : When it comes to manga, the editor has the ability to have huge amounts of influence in its creation. I feel that the unrestrained nature of Black Magic can be tied to Shirow not having an editor sit behind him asking him to tone dialog and elements back. Some humor is inappropriately placed before and after serious scenes, like when there will be a visual gag a page before someone is shot in the gut.

In contrast, the hadronic model could reproduce the observed spectrum at the tail by assuming a proton spectrum with a cutoff energy of 1 PeV for that region.
**The image of Rameses is iconic**, with his striking blue and white Ram horns and Tar Heel blue cape. Fans eagerly await his entrance at games, ready to cheer on the team alongside their beloved mascot. Rameses has become synonymous with UNC sports, elevating the atmosphere in the stands and bringing a sense of joy and excitement to every event.
(Magical Girl Site) I need to talk about Gordon
I like to think of myself as a person with taste. That sounds pretentious as fuck, I know, but what I’m trying to say is that I generally prefer to seek out the most quality stories to invest my time in. But like any other person, I have my guilty pleasures and I also occasionally seek out some hot garbage to hate-watch or read. And some of these stories can be genuinely fun to read when you turn your brain off. For this reason, I decided to read Magical Girl Site.
For those of you who have never heard of it, a brief explanation: Magical Girl Site is a magical girl-themed horror manga about a bunch of miserable high school girls who are granted magical weapons from a shady supernatural organization that’s connected to a future apocalyptic event. It’s kinda similar to Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but a lot more edgy and less… well-written. You may recognize the manga’s protagonist Aya Asagiri . She’s the girl from this meme .
I’m gonna be honest here, this manga sucks. I already heard from others that this manga was bad, so I went in with the lowest expectations. It’s pure edginess for the sake edginess. Rape, pedophilia, torture, depictions of little girls committing acts of over-the-top violence or being victims of said violence, this manga has all of that, with a dash of homophobic and racist stereotypes. And speaking of racist stereotypes, let’s talk about a minor character called Gordon.
Who is Gordon? Gordon is a minor character who appears in a flashback arc. He’s pretty much irrelevant to the entire story and only appeared in one chapter to be a thug-like antagonist to one of the side characters before quickly getting his ass kicked. So why am I dedicating an entire rant to a minor irrelevant character from a below-average manga? Why did Gordon have such an impact on me?
Here’s a close-up of Gordon’s face
Here’s Gordon trying to rape a child (NSFW)
Just… just fucking take it in.
I’ve been reading manga and watching anime for a long time, so this kind of thing is not new to me. Dragon Ball has Mr Popo , Killa , and Staff Officer Black . Pokémon had Jynx . Shaman King had Chocolove . The Promised Neverland had Sister Krone . Durarara has Simon . Hajime no Ippo had a gag where one of the main characters did blackface.
As a black man, this stuff does annoy me, but I can let it slide. We gotta remember that Japan is a very homogenous nation. The vast majority of Japanese people have probably never met a black person before and are not educated about American racism. So I can only assume that these writers just don’t realize why this stuff is kinda bad.
But Gordon… fuck this shit, man. This is one is just so… grotesque, that I don’t even wanna read this shit anymore. Not even for a hate-read. Seeing this shit legitimately just ruined my mood
Black Magic was originally a fan-made doujinshi put out in 1983, created by a mangaka and illustrator who many might recognize by name as the original creator of Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, and Dominion. Yes, Masamune Shirow, known for creating heavy Science Fiction manga that have had successes as anime franchises like those mentioned before, originally started in the manga fan creation scene of the early eighties. Black Magic was the story that drew the attention of a publisher, so one could say that Black Magic was Shirow’s first break when it was officially released in 1985.

Reviews for "From Sheep to Legend: How Rameses Became the Pride of UNC"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the beloved UNC mascot Rameses. As someone who attended UNC, I expected more from our mascot. Rameses looks worn out and tired. The costume doesn't look well-maintained or representative of the vibrant spirit of the UNC community. I think it's time for a mascot makeover to better reflect the energy and pride of the university.
2. Michael - 1 star - I had high expectations for Rameses as the UNC mascot, but I was sorely disappointed. The costume looks outdated and lacks the wow factor that you would expect from such a renowned university. The overall appearance of Rameses is lackluster and lacks the excitement that a mascot should bring. I hope UNC considers reimagining their mascot to better symbolize the school's spirit and tradition.
3. Emily - 2 stars - Rameses, the beloved UNC mascot, fell short of my expectations. The costume design is confusing and doesn't represent the iconic ram symbol associated with UNC. Additionally, Rameses' movements seem stiff and awkward, lacking the enthusiasm and energy that a mascot should embody. It's time for UNC to invest in a new and improved mascot that truly represents the university's spirit and heritage.
4. David - 1 star - I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by Rameses, the UNC mascot. The costume appears cheaply made and lacks the attention to detail that one would expect from a reputable university. The mascot's lack of enthusiasm and limited interactions with the crowd make it difficult to rally school spirit during games and events. It's time for UNC to consider retiring Rameses and introducing a new and more engaging mascot to represent the pride and legacy of the university.
5. Jessica - 2 stars - Rameses, the UNC mascot, left me feeling unimpressed. The costume design seems dated and lacks the vibrant colors and appeal that would resonate with both students and fans. The overall appearance of Rameses is rather lackluster and fails to capture the energy and excitement of being a UNC Tar Heel. It's time for a mascot revamp to bring the university's spirit to life and create a more memorable experience for all.
