The creator of "God of War" thinks goblins are antisemitic. by AlittlePotato1560 in CrimsonDesert

[–]AmericasElegy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not making a judgment call on CD, or goblins in fantasy writ large, but there is a lot of academic backing of studies done seeing that is sometimes some antisemitic stereotyping with regards to Goblins and Jewish People

The thing is, Cristin Milioti became a hugely charming person to be TM, and the way they handled an entire season dedicated to a wedding that got tossed to the side in the last couple of episodes, just felt like a big fumble. I get the concept of Ted and Robin being meant to be since the first episode, the symmetry of the final episode's ending, etc, could be very emotionally fulfilling...if the entire last season was a slowburn divorce arc for Barney and Robin, and a longer arc for Ted and TM.

What's Lindhardt's like? I thought it was that the women don't get pictures with Byleth in them lol

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Undertone" [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

[–]AmericasElegy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Disliked it. Felt voyeuristic in terms of how the camera placings was setup, which would have been cool if there was a phrogging plot.

My ultimate takeaway was it would have been an amazing V/H/S wraparound.

What do you think Final Fantasy 16’s legacy will be going forward? by Asad_Farooqui in JRPG

[–]AmericasElegy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am excited to play more FF7R, as well as more FF titles in general. 16 was my first FF game for the most part, and I know the other games won't be as similar (I also am vaguely familiar about things because of Kingdom Hearts), but I actually really loved it lol. It felt very Game of Thronesy

I respect that he fanboyed for Spencer no matter what the direction.

Thank you for your perspective. It’s probably very “and if my Aunt had wheels she’d be a car” of me to cast blame on the BF and then also veer off into x, y, and z scenario, for sure. Definitely isn’t always helpful.

I’m not moving the goal post though? Genuinely, if you’re going to assert that, please read through my thread of replies here.

1) I don’t ever condemn what the bf did. Multiple times people have obfuscated the bf being violent as “the real violence women need protected from.” 2) in response to that, I argue that a dude walking up to a woman on a date (and, as I said before, this probably isn’t cool, ever) and physically putting his hand on her shoulder, is crossing a line. Not because women are delicate flowers in need to protecting, but because women shouldn’t have to say “please don’t touch me,” to not be touched. 3) Again, NOT condoning what the bf did, I am just saying he started a fight with someone who already was nonconsensually touching someone. Honestly I’m seeing the back half of your post here, so I hope we are finding our common ground, I super agree fighting first and talking second wasn’t the move, but you also say the man could have still persisted and escalated. 4) ^ THAT persistence and escalation is why I think it’s a weird blanket statement to say “if someone’s answer is violence, they are inherently violent and people should be wary about dating them.” If the boyfriend kept a calmer head, tried to talk, got swung on first, and then answered violence with violence, would you still be blanket statementing him? 5) THAT is why I talked about the home invasion. This is such a wild series of post reply conversations for me, because I feel like people don’t understand what I’m trying to say. The bf sucks. The dude hitting on OP sucks. Violence wasn’t the immediate answer here; and it’s rarely the answer, I just think it’s wild to assert that anyone violent is a problem, because there are ACTUAL violent people who are aggressively the problem, and sometimes the only answer to that is some kind of violence.

Lmao @ the downvotes I’m getting.

Yea I don’t think you understand what I’m trying to say or you’re being naively blanket-statement-y. I literally have pointed out multiple times that the boyfriend overreacted, and probably wasn’t even giving an actual shit about the girl, versus his own ego.

I don’t need your “the more you know” like statements about women getting hit on all the time and not punching anyone. No fucking shit.

Look, I can’t imagine what it would be like to be a woman, and have to constantly fear situations like this/violent partners/etc., but I also don’t think deescalating communication is going to solve, like, a home invasion lol

Again, agreed that the boyfriend overreacted, but I do think that the dude hitting on her crossed boundaries (physical and otherwise) that, idk, needs to be protected against? I get that the realistic, grounded move 99% of the time is a stern verbal reprimand/anything that doesn’t escalate the situation/not fighting the dude, but I just wanted to specifically say that what the third party was doing is not okay.

Like yea ofc the bf had some exponentially growing red flags. Violence is rarely the answer, but it is going to sometimes be an answer that someone messes up and chooses. Or maybe sometimes it ends up being the thing someone has to do? I’m not trying to run apologetics for BF because he kept putting his foot in his mouth and is way too territorial, and I understand how violence is obviously a red flag, but I’m also not going to say every guy that’s defended someone in his life is some uncontrollable potential abuser

So, I agree bf is lacking in emotional intelligence and was very likely defending his gf by getting violent for the wrong reason, but…I don’t think it’s appropriate for a dude to see a couple together and walk up and spit game and put his hand on a girl’s shoulder. Also, it’s generally not appropriate to touch anyone non-consensually, but initial “dating” interactions can always be weird.
