sega funded a game that makes people so delusional they’re defending the worst gacha game you’ve ever played en masse. the persona 5 sunk cost fallacy wins again
Eaglit 🇨🇩 - Finally playing P5X@GammaEaglit
when you realize the true reason true persona fans hate p5x is that it's the most accessible persona game (persona fans are naturally repelled to playing the games)

This doesn’t even make sense. What a simplistic view. You can condemn sacrifice without turning Indigenous civilizations into cartoon villains.
The “Aztecs were barbaric so conquest was good” argument always collapses the second you apply the same standard evenly. Human sacrifice existed in Mesoamerica. It should be talked about honestly.
But Europeans arrived from a world of inquisitions, mass burnings, public torture, dynastic slaughter, religious wars, colonial extraction, and industrial-scale conquest. The idea that one side represented “civilization” and the other represented “savagery” is mostly hindsight propaganda. Guess the propaganda got to you.
Also, the “Bronze Age” framing barely works here. Makes me question your understanding of the Americas. Mesoamerican societies developed under completely different environmental and material conditions. They had no large draft animals and simply different metallurgy priorities. Different trade systems. Yet they still built massive cities, hydraulic engineering, aqueduct’s, astronomy, mathematics, calendars, causeways, market systems, and state networks that stunned Europeans on contact.
You don’t have to romanticize the Aztecs to admit the “primitive savage rescued by Europe” framing is historically shallow.
🇺🇸 The American Culturist 🇺🇸@MericaCulture
The great fallacy of cultural relativism is that its adherents believe the technological wonders of our modern world were always inevitable. They believe that Western Civilization (Christendom) pushed humanity forward purely by coincidence, rather than because of anything inherently valuable about it. They look at the barbaric tribes of Mesoamerica, such as the Aztecs, and assume they could have had a Central American Wakanda if not for those oppressive Europeans. In reality, there was a reason the Aztecs hadn't progressed even to the Bronze Age, and if the Europeans hadn't forced civilization upon them, they'd still be ripping out hearts and practicing cannibalism in demonic rituals.

Bill Gates is now funding a company that wants to CUT DOWN 70 million acres of trees and bury them underground. Why? To stop climate change of course. This is madness.

Peter Parker being the self-insert for most of his writers is one of the biggest problems modern Spider-Man comics suffer from.

But that’s why he’s amazing. He represents stagnation. His death brought about change, he was quite literally the system

Arima is the worst “strongest” character in manga btw. Next time you reread TG, pay attention and look past the 437 layers of glaze that the cast and ishida pile on to see his utter inaction. All that power. All that washu influence. And still. He. Did. Nothing.

Saying only Nolan should "hire a better casting director" when there's not one Greek face in sight in the cast of both movies. The Greeks aren't Anglo-Saxons.
