Dude, you literally have a chinese cartoon body pillow on your fucking avatar. Your mom. *You're [hr] Also, I'm now compelled to watch Darling in the FranXX just to see what the fuck is this trainwreck about.

But framing it as punishing disobedience instead of punishing gendered thinking is just... goddamn vacuous. They're punishing disobedience w.r.t. to gendered thinking. You can't punish disobedience in a vacuum - disobedience of what? What was the act of disobedience, and what principle did it disob...

Longes.... stop being a fucking idiot? The point is that if you write a story about how the evil gay empire is oppressing the straights, that's pretty anti gay. So when the evil gender critical pans are the evil empire, and the cishets are the good guys, that's also bad for the same reason. He's no...

Narrative weight is indeed a thing. It's usually considered a combination of on-screen/in-story presence, impact on the proceedings, and strength/memorability of the character. Protagonists and antagonists tend to have the most of it by default, since they show up the most and (should) impact the pr...

Not setting of every metal/cyber-scanner in the vincinity. Not thinking like the Übermensch. Way more empathetic to the rest of the population. He is basically used as their conscience and grounding anchor. Nobody wants to play Ma-Ti. It's an important narrative role in an ensemble cast, but it's n...

Also pretty sure there's a bunch of wars going on right now where one of the sides leaders claims god is on their side and that gets them fresh recruits and money instead of being taken to the closest asylum. Sure, but even the craziest of the religious crazies are not proposing that any overt mira...

That is some hardcore fanboy, Gat. And say what you will about the tone or whatever, the system is kind of a shitshow. The game comes off as two chords and a vague idea, like a French Cosmic Bumfights. Which is cool for the 90s, but it's current year baby; pop nihilism is out, screaming terror is in.

Yes but as you’ll note that you quoted Mask saying it hasn’t been culturally true for a decade and you just used a 25 year old cartoon episode as rebuttal. Im sure there’s still some people who have some social stigma for glasses or nerdiness (like maglag) but it has waned a lot. Edit. Thanks for m...

Yo Dog, just because you self-identify with the uncool nerd thing super hard , given what I've seen of your posts (and your handle) doesn't discount the other examples given.

I just don't get why WWE insists on overplaying hands over and over again. They can't just tell AJ and Nakamura to have a great match, they have to build into perpetuity. They can't just settle for Roman being over-ish with casuals, they have to insist that he's an underdog who we should rally behi...

WWE managed to make AJ-Nakamura shit. How? Because unless people make like the crowd in the Roman/Joe match on a consistent basis and stop giving the company their money, WWE doesn't need to please the fans or do anything logical any more. It exists in a magical land of abstraction and cable networ...

The new Boner Soldier is Taiji Ishimori, who left the sinking ship of NOAH for TNA last year and was fishing for a WWE deal.

Yeah, I forgot Rhodey survived. But, like, yeah, a lot of white characters got ashed, too. But (virtually) all of the black characters who carry plots got ashed. Like, sure, Okoye and Shuri are still there, but... I would love to see Shuri and Okoye get to carry more plot. But they're basically bac...

I'm not sure you're trying to understand this conversation. Pilgrim does not just bitch about all the people trying to kill him, which is another thing that would not be slutshaming. He bitches about how he doesn't know if he can trust Ramona not to dump his ass, which starts with freaking out abou...
