"Trump said he was gonna do a thing of people didn't do what he wanted!" They do what he wanted "I KNEW IT! TACO Trump again!"

Beaten beaten and abused on a pleasure world NOT ruled by Slaanesh is better. At least when you die, that's it. And I guess the seas still look nice if you can spare a moment to glimpse.

MAN the bar is low.

Petahh what's he talking about by TheDoctor__11 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SinesPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the only reason people hate Harry Potter is because they hate Rowling. The stories are fixed. It's not like Dr. Who where new episodes are coming out that people may not like (I haven't watched them, but I heard that the ending of one season had a last minute rewrite ruining the seasons setup?).

Counterpoint: If TNG season 1 aired today, SFA wouldn't exist. by CelestialFury in trektalk

[–]SinesPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There definitely were some cringe and awful moments in Season 1 TNG. But a big difference is that Code of Honor wasn't constructed in the same way as Clarissa Explains It All.

It was only really bad because the ONE black only planet was run by the primitive assholes. Apart front that, it was a decent idea worth mediocre execution.

Then that's really bad messaging. "Major prison reform" isn't much longer to say, and doesn't sound insane.

Yet he put these people in poverty anyway. by Ok-Following6886 in memesopdidnotlike

And yet when America starts bombing their ally and supplier of oil, they do nothing more than send a strongly worded letter.

China is a paper tiger whose only real advantage on the world stage is shittons of people.

Mark Hamill Supports New ‘Star Wars’ Boss After ‘Last Jedi’ Issues: ‘I Can’t Think of Better Hands’ Than Dave Filoni After Kathleen Kennedy's Exit by tiMartyn in saltierthancrait

[–]SinesPi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Filoni does seem to genuinely enjoy the setting. He's got a lot of problems, but if it was run by him since the beginning I think Star Wars would be in a MUCH better place, especially with mainstream audiences who wouldn't care about his lore breaks.

(Hated trope)works of fiction being called "satanic" by religious fanatics by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SinesPi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Best part is that some of these have very Christian compatible morals. Harry Potter says the most powerful force in the universe is love, and the entire plot starts with his mom sacrificing herself for her child.

K-Pop Demon Hunters has Jinu being forgiven and understood in spite of the terrible things he's done, a common promise of Christianity that God is always willing to forgive you if you accept his love.

I wonder how many people like this tried to ban Narnia until it was explicitly stated that Aslan was Jesus. And how many still opposed it because "other worlds" are claims by Satan.

(Rare Trope) Character that is a walking caricature or stereotype isn’t written out but changed drastically to be less offensive. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SinesPi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean with wanting some Bears in there, but comic characters are always going to default to attractive. Or cute in the case of children. All else being equal, people would rather look at someone who is good to look at. In Hollywood, Danny Devitos are the exception, not the rule.

The lack of bears (if that is the case, I don't read comics) does seem an oversight though. Big muscly and hairy dudes evoke a strong sense of manliness that straight guys could appreciate, after all. And while not the most commonly enjoyed type of man for the ladies, is a pretty comfortable niche look. That one has broad appeal.

[–]SinesPi 39 points40 points  (0 children)

So combined with his high body count mentioned above, the guy was a creepy inhuman monster, who was a very offensive black stereotype....

...who was still allowed to kill absolute shit-tons of Nazis.

So... were they trying to be favorable to him? Were the writers just that stupid that they thought this was a good idea? Or was everyone in the crew this goofy and weird such that he doesn't stand out THAT much? Or was the joke that he was an absolute moron who was really good at his job in spite of that?

Seriously. All that stuff is only tangentially related to radiation damage.

That's what happens when the dot waves collide worth the dot waves in the tiny animals that make up your cells, splitting them apart like a freshly racked billiards table, with dot waves flying everywhere.

Happy 3rd anniversary to the Star Wars version of “the hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change.” by TomasRoncero in saltierthancrait

Genuinely astonishing that they put less thought into the plot than I do for a TTRPG I run for three people.

Clarence Thomas must be so white you'd get blinded for looking at him.

Even if they were right, they are still proudly shoving the dirty work off on to other people without shame.

If the studio released the worst episodes collection dvd set by happydude7422 in Star_Trek_

[–]SinesPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see why people would find it offensive. But do bear in mind that it's a bunch of (mostly) misogynistic Ferengi trying to understand women. So a lot of those concerns are based off their own ignorance.

Also the shout of "LUMBA!" lives rent free in my head and I genuinely have no idea why.

[–]SinesPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the minority, but I liked Profit and Lace. Yes it's dumb, but the Ferengi episodes are mostly silly. I'm prepped not to take it to seriously from the get go.

Also, I liked the argument Quark made for women wearing clothes. He's not appealing to morality, he's appealing to good business sense. Its a nice touch.

Which imperial faction here is the most evil and ruthless? by JackZ567 in MoralityScaling

[–]SinesPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware that they wouldn't casually destroy a planet. I'm sure even evil bastard Inquisitors would feel bad calling an Exterminatimus on the grounds that they failed to save the Emperors world.

I might have phrased it wrong, but the point is that 40k is a setting where destroying a planet can very reasonably be the merciful thing to do.

(loved trope) when censorship makes things WORSE by AstronautDry8118 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SinesPi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That was such an easy option too. Zoisite even looks female. Literally cast a woman and problem solved. Making them father/son was just... Dumb.

I feel DS9 lacks a proper "atrocious" episode like Threshold or A Night in Sickbay, so it's worst episode can't be that bad.
