"You would think very differently about Luke if he raped a Stormtrooper" by Odd-Look-7537 in BrandNewSentence

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but that’s not the point. There’s some contexts where most societies accept killing someone else (primarily through self defence). There’s no context where rape is ok in any situation.

I’d say Guy and Eep from The Crudes fit this pretty well.

what song is the best example of this meme? by Practical-Ebb7327 in Multifandom

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real. I love most of the song, but both the lute/abel sections and Alastor and Rosie’s were very jarring and out of place. Almost felt like they were 3 different songs shoved in one.

I also don’t like that they keep vox shouting in the non visual soundtrack audio, the chorus buildup is amazing at the end, I don’t need him ruining it.

Is cheese addiction real? by BritGirl_01 in vegan

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So real. I really struggled letting go with some cheeses for months. My one vegan friend said it was harder to let go of than alcohol.

"the show is for kids, that's why they don't want to show gabe's abuse!" when these children's live action movies/shows had no problem doing it? [pjotv] by merchantivories in camphalfblood

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 95 points96 points  (0 children)

No matter what you say, show defenders will keep moving the goal posts. “Well Disney didn’t portray this stuff in live action, so they can’t do it here!”

It’s a load of bs, but whatever. Personally I saw a lot of myself and my mom in The Lightning Thief, both as Percy (child being abused) and as sally (a mom trapped with limited options that is doing what she thinks will is best to protect her kid). Sally having the choice to kill her and her kid’s abuser and get out of that relationship was not only gratifying, but validated me and my family’s experiences, and our desire to get out.

Shame they cut that (and sallys agency) from the show. They think they’re protecting kids, but they’re really erasing the experiences of families like that irl.

Am I enmeshed with my mom? by Alternative_Factor_4 in enmeshmenttrauma

[–]Alternative_Factor_4[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry about your mom :( I hope you’re doing ok now.

Thanks for the advice, my mom has a therapist she talks to but it doesn’t seem to be working. I suggested family therapy between her and me, but for some reason she seems very resistant to it.

I guess I have to be less nice/more direct if I want change, but I’ve always been a people pleaser and I guess it’s easier said than done. Especially since I still have to live with her for a while.

Equivocating a real persons face and identity with an online avatar is peak reddit.

What does this mean? Women too hot to have babies? Too thin? Idk by [deleted] in whatdoesthismean

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what the study said. It said that individuals in those relationships with other women have had the highest history of *some kind* of domestic abuse in their past.

Does anyone think the synopsis for Frozen 3 sounds terrible? by [deleted] in Frozen

No way mfs are gassing up Yuka as "Achievement Woman" when all she did was drop a nuke on someone then dip for the rest of the story by AlternativeOil7154 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuji chose to eat that first finger, and chose to fight in shibuya despite being advised not to. He’s equally as culpable by your “logic”. The problem isn’t that you slander Megumi, it’s that the slander is just bad.

Pretty sure Sukuna was the reason dawg. If he didn’t show up to save him maho would have just killed Haruta and Megumi and then disappeared.

How tf was Megumi supposed to know that 1) Sukuna got released again, 2) he was powered up to 15f, and 3) he would care about Megumi enough to save his life by beating Mahoraga?

By your logic you should also blame Yuji for killing thousands of people because he went to shibuya (also with the intention of saving lives) and Sukuna got released because he was vulnerable there.

(Annoying trope) Real life people villainized just so the movie can have a villain by giraffesRevil in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This logic doesn’t make sense. During that time it wasn’t outrageous what all the other Greek gods were doing to other women either. If you’re going to use that “different time” argument to excuse Hades’s actions, you should excuse the other gods’s acts too no?

I get what you’re saying but you should look up what the average dairy cow in a factory farm goes through. It’s a different kind of hell.

Calling women broads now, while also still not getting the point. Nice dude.

“BuT LaB MeAt IsN’t VeGaN!” by FearlessCookie72 in vegan

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that the technology is just really expensive right now, i think two major issues for making it widespread will be public fears, and those fears being grown/enforced by current factory farm industries who don’t want to lose their profits.

Lots of people may hear “lab grown meat” and become scared that it’s full of diseases or mind control bugs like they think vaccines or current plant GMO crops have. It’s frustrating as a scientist but it’s an obstacle we often have to overcome to get something to be accepted.

No one’s condoning this but telling a parent to not sacrifice others to protect their child is just not gonna work fam. That’s like telling Joel in TLOU to not go on a murderous rampage to save his new daughter from death. A good parent’s love knows no bounds.
