@Fenrirtheicewo1 Important to point out that only a liberty minded society can achieve such progress. Compare the west, America especially to most of the world. The Klingons in Star Trek have the same problem.

Viltrumites as a society as advanced as they are makes no sense, it would if they were more medieval like and only have advantages because of their powers. Kryptonians are so advanced because they aren't born with theirs on their planet so they had to adapt and value other things than strength.

@StyxSetzke @WarWolf82521432 @jack_stargate @mobfighter63 @nhc1993 I'm glad its only a couple minutes walk to school for me

@WarWolf82521432 you see what I deal with 2x a day just trying to get to and from work/school. @jack_stargate @mobfighter63 @nhc1993 @Scidian this is the CTA RED LINE

@StyxSetzke @nhc1993 @jack_stargate @WarWolf82521432 @jujuman404 Cool visual concept, however It's a shame the song's a critique of America. A theme not uncharacteristic of Rammstein as its members are devout socialists and commie sympathizers.

@WarWolf82521432 @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke So you think Bats approves of the invasion of Poland, the war that ensued thereafter and the millions of deaths as a consequence, Auschwitz?

@Scidian @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke All the time..... he thinks Hitler solutions were correct.....

@WarWolf82521432 found your hw from 2003 @jack_stargate @scidian

@WarWolf82521432 @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke When did Bats praise Hitler?

@Scidian @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke You totally miss my point.... Bats is praising Hitler like he was some strong man yet the Soviets rolled over his troops and instead of facing his enemy he feared Hitler killed himself like a fucking bitch

@WarWolf82521432 @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke I don't need to glaze commies to hate Hitler. There's enough hate in my heart for all socialists.

@Scidian @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke Are you defending Hitler??????

@WarWolf82521432 @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke Go live in their country

@jack_stargate @Scidian @StyxSetzke These are the guys who crushed Hitler like the little drug addled bitch he was.....

@WarWolf82521432 @StyxSetzke @jack_stargate I only like him for the memes. If there are any who praise him as leader, I would disavow.

Yes but the hypocrisy is that people bitch about Lenin, Stalin, Mao etc were brutal dictators and killed their citizens sending them to the gulag & tortured people and the united states fought this people because they were brutal dictators.... but they fucking installed a brutal dictator who did all of these things and the same people praise him as a hero......

@WarWolf82521432 @StyxSetzke @jack_stargate The meme is that he killed communist.

I know who Pinochet, I wanted Scott to fucking do some research instead of getting his info from a fucking meme....was he was a brutal dictator the us installed during a regime change in Chile overthrowing Salvador Allende who was a democratically elected socialist....he killed, tortured and imprisoned over 40,000 political opponents, over 3,000 citizens dissapeared by his death squad.... he established 17 torture centers where citizens were subjected to electric shock sexual assault and beatings.... over 200,000 were exileddue to political oppression (he banned all political parties/political opponents)......

@lucas_legacy I will grant, it is abstract

@Scidian Maybe we should talk about this on a space because everything your saying sounds vague

@Scidian I think you’ll like this youtu.be/keul1vi8V5k?si…

@lucas_legacy Espec. with regard to the relationship trope, repeated exposure to trivialised instances of passiveness, lewdness, limp-wristedness, exhibited by characters that are made to be appealing will result in the viewers internalising these traits as cute quirks that need not be purged.

@Scidian How does this trope make kids in real life passive?

Come on, now we've gone past ridiculous

@lucas_legacy Amongst other things, yes. One of my critique of Anime is that much of premise is far too divorced from reality to derive any actionable principles. Added to that, is the glorification of such passive behaviors

@Scidian You think this trope makes kids into wimps?

@lucas_legacy It shouldn't be; too many children are taught to be wimps. Great art should motivate one to be an action man. Anime traps the mind with escapism and trains it passivity.

@Scidian I find the trope shonen manga/anime funny, I never saw it as something to get too invested in or make a big deal of. It can just be played for laughs.

@lucas_legacy I hate both. It's okay if you want to start with a premise and build up to a more functional status quo, but to have it persist is what I find indefensible. To w/media's credit, they tend to do the former. They also no reservations about having their characters kiss. See Avatar

@Scidian I always just saw this classic anime trope as a cultural thing. In a lot of western media the boy usually has a one sided crush on the girl so in Eastern Media like Shonen the girl usually has a one sided crush on the boy. I don’t know why anyone would be bothered by this.

@lucas_legacy @mobfighter63 @jack_stargate @nhc1993 @RickyDj0ne2r @_GunneR_AlphA_ No

@Scidian @mobfighter63 @jack_stargate @nhc1993 @RickyDj0ne2r @_GunneR_AlphA_ Really? I’m surprised you were into lord of the rings & game of thrones comparisons. Did we ever talk about it?
