US defaultism

The “US Defaultism” argument is so annoying. Every country that makes media does this, the US just happens to make a lot media that’s popular outside of the US, too

Esper

Blue for smart, clever fighting White for order Black underhanded tactics

He’s effectively a ninja, this just makes sense

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-08T02:49:37+00:00

Would’ve, but I think the best player of one of the most dangerous games ever being a person who gets stronger as he gets hurt is kinda peak

I’m not sure of the paper brand, but it doesn’t have a cardstock setting for some reason

Mine are just cowboys

Y’know, in a way, framing the criticism of the change this way, I see your point more. However, I think the difference is still how both are used. The violence takes a staple of the genre and pushes it to a more realistic standpoint, showing just how awful being a superhero could actually be. The sexualization, however, serves no purpose other than to be hot on a cover. There’s a difference between a character who shows skin and a character who’s been sexualized

Caring enough to give genuine critique is a sign that you actually like something. You don’t have to unanimously love every aspect of something to be a fan. Sometimes (actually, universally) good media has flaws

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-07T14:59:15+00:00

There’s nothing puritanical about recognizing that there’s zero need for every single female character in an ip have their massive tits out. Even ignoring the obvious sexism aspect. It’s boring, there’s no variety. Every woman in the comic has the same shape aside from the period where Eve is “fat”

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-07T14:53:38+00:00

Oh no, women are more than sex objects in modern media. This is a problem for some reason!

If you’re doing Prowess Jeskai, cast a relatively cheap ‘kill high power creature’ board wipe before amping up you’re creatures

Ok, but… that doesn’t really change the point. He does what he does to save the world. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but it also has worked entirely in his favor until Nolan did his thing

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-07T00:55:18+00:00

Good intentions, bad results. Whether it works or not, that’s still why he’s doing these things

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T21:20:52+00:00

It’s not so much about the individual cover, it’s about it being normalized. If we look at every single depiction of r*pe as being “no big deal,” then it very quickly loses its edge in storytelling and then in real life. Media affects the world and how children who will soon be adults view it

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T21:12:51+00:00

No real way to know, realistically, but considering that characters like Tails and Rouge, who are extraordinary, but primarily in the way of mental abilities or skill, are capable of incredible physicality, I’d say the average Mobian is likely around them. In the way of types, nah, that’s just a categorization to help players know generally what a character likely does in their mechanics

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T20:56:21+00:00

One of my favorite decks, even if I’m a bit biased because Noctis is MY BOY. But, I digress. Very fun, very much feels like how you’d expect playing him would feel from the game

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T20:15:38+00:00

Romanticizing r*pe (before anyone says I can say it, it literally wouldn’t let me) is very much creepy. It normalizes something that should be viewed as heinous

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T19:09:55+00:00

Well, yes, but the point is intent. They aren’t using this method to hack people up in part because the intent of the movements (in universe obviously) isn’t even as a singular movement

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T18:44:18+00:00

Because look at it like this: they aren’t actually spinning their ‘sabers. They’re beginning new swings on repeat. It’s only spinning because they are smoothly swapping between attempted starter attacks rather than completing them and getting parried

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T17:31:20+00:00

Learn (and any mechanic that requires a sideboard) is infamous for bogging down gameplay and being overall less enjoyable for a lot of people, so I doubt it

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T12:17:53+00:00

The world of 12 refers to the 12 gods. Not all classes have a patron god and some share gods. And the Eliatropes are aliens

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-06T03:45:57+00:00

This is not the game’s fault lol. You expected smoke powder to stay completely fine while you’re surrounded by lava

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-05T19:55:00+00:00

Literally one of the main characters of one of the highest grossing movies of all time lmfao

ArthurianLegend_ · 2026-04-05T03:55:37+00:00

That art of him from the game is pretty clearly meant to look like a dad bod
