@CravePillows @kyufufufu @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors please refer to the texts

People will scream to the top of their lungs that the fetus-shaped parasite the female protagonist was unwillingly stuck with that can only be removed by a doctor hated by the religious society is 100% literal and totally not a metaphor.

@CravePillows @Platinuro @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors if it's only a critique of religion, then please tell me which religions have made people work on factory lines to produce valuable commodities the workers do not themselves have access to in order to earn small amounts of money, like the guy in the image above

@CravePillows @Platinuro @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors it's both a criticism of capitalism and religion :)

@kyufufufu @updarabbithole @CravePillows @SomaticHorrors this is true, but religion and a) crude accumulation and b) involvement with market forces have a shared history of thousands of years, and both of those forces are intrinsic to modern capitalism

@updarabbithole @2niposting @CravePillows @SomaticHorrors Capitalism is a modern phenomenom dating AT MOST a few centuries lmao

@CravePillows @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors literally nothing you've said contradicts it being anti-capitalist lol

@CravePillows @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors no, it's a jab at capitalism because of many of the reasons I've already mentioned. it's also a jab at following leaders and in people having lost free will. these are entirely compatible with an anti-capitalist reading. it's both anti-capitalist and anti-(organised) religious

@Dantethebanned2 @BAmorfa @CaleoKathline no no I'm of the opinion that some people definitely should kill themselves. but if you were part of the hate mob that drove him to suicide, you're telling me you wouldn't feel a thing? I have difficult feelings even about those I actually think are better off dead

@2niposting @BAmorfa @CaleoKathline Not caring about a random asshole committing suicide is a nothing burger and not an indication of anyone’s principle. You’re literally making up an argument to be as performative as possible. That’s a great principle you carry

Leffen is the Kevin Durant of fighting games: -A bully -Carried to first place -Constantly jumping from place to place trying failing to attain the trophies the honest way because he know he was carried -Unable to win by his actual skill -Unlikeable -No friends -Rich

@updarabbithole @CravePillows @SomaticHorrors exactly lmao

@2niposting @CravePillows @SomaticHorrors Capitalism and religion are so intrinsically tied it’s ridiculous. It’s been that way for thousands of years.

@Marmik__ @Courier1138 @Alison_is_lost it's shot gorgeously, the drama is gripping, the characters are so wonderfully layered and three dimensional. it's also happy to accept its identity as primarily a detective show and psychological drama rather than trying to force an action formula.

@2niposting @Courier1138 @Alison_is_lost I would say it's peak fiction. They have female protagonist with genuine relatable flaws they gracefully implemented mind control, free will David Tenant and Kristten Ritter nailed their roles as well

Icl if you told me all this time there was a genuinely progressive woman-led tv show with consistent POC/queer rep attached to Marvel IP I would've called you a moron

@CravePillows @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors hoarding money/rosaries? encouraged by capitalism. an inability to ascend in the hierarchy and reach the *literal and metaphorical* top of society? lack of class mobility. and marx talks extensively about how capitalism harms the bourgeoisie and creates its own destruction

@CravePillows @updarabbithole @SomaticHorrors it's both. it's both at once.

@BAmorfa @CaleoKathline so you have no principles to speak of, cool. bullying people to suicide is Based so long as you don't like the person dying

@2niposting @CaleoKathline Deserved

@CaleoKathline genuine question, if leffen killed himself over accumulated guilt and bullying over the death of hax, would you care?

@TSM_Leffen If that fills the void of bulling a man to death….

@Courier1138 @Alison_is_lost it's better. Jessica Jones season 1 is the cream of the marvel crop. the rest of it also exists

@Alison_is_lost First season of Jessica jones is as good as Netflix daredevil and that's an insanely high bar

@moejomma @AmadeusBolshev also lame boring sectarianism jerking off over arguments from a hundred years ago. we get it you don't like Trotsky can you find a new bete noire already

@2niposting @AmadeusBolshev this is not true because trotskyites have no understanding of anything

🚨BREAKING: Sabrina Carpenter when asked if the USSR was socialist: "how can an institution preserving the commodity-form and wage labour be socialist? Evidently it was state-capitalist."

@moejomma @AmadeusBolshev I'm not saying anything about Trotskyism Vs mlism. just that MLM Sabrina's take is factually, not interpretatively, wrong. lenin did wait for Bolshevik popularity before the October revolution. the people were not - and are not - ready!

@cloudyyygems @fishstickwsauce if a character in a piece of media has been a slave, that piece of media is not immediately endorsing slavery. in fact, it's usually the other way round. it's a more responsible and woke piece of art for acknowledging the struggles of black people in 60s new York than ignoring it

@cloudyyygems @fishstickwsauce yes, because I am able to see how different depictions of things depict different things differently. because context matters, the way it is presented matters. they may do it correctly, they may not!!

She absolutely NEEDS to be black it’s not even a request. Melanin brings her design together with a bow and as some1 visually impaired the white sparkles on dark skin sells the unicorn thing better. Plus this game is about subverting tropes. How awesome is a black unicorn??
