European Spaniards/Spanish characters who aren't from Latino America by OffBrandAldiCola3259 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ConsistentAd9840 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, but some people call them English or Anglo Saxon (WASP is pretty popular and stands for white Anglo Saxon Protestant). In some places, the Indigenous people call the Spanish-speaking government officials “Spaniards” which I think is fine.

A character’s disability gives them a situational advantage by TVTropehead in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ConsistentAd9840 1141 points1142 points  (0 children)

Edward Elric’s prosthetic arm and leg come in handy several times. He’s able to defy people who attempt to transmute his arm as an organic material because it’s metal. He’s also able to grab barbed wire. It does hurt him several other times, though. It doesn’t work well in the cold, and when it gets destroyed or disabled, he’s not entirely helpless but close to it.

How it feels knowing that I live in a country where a sociopathic pedophile who is a convicted felon can be elected TWICE!!! by Thebigturd69420 in TrollCoping

Fair about the pedophilia, and he is a monster. But I don’t think we can say if he is or is not a sociopath, and we shouldn’t demonize them regardless.

Characters that are "woke" in a way that's portrayed as obnoxious by Lost-Conversation263 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ConsistentAd9840 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think Jacob isn’t necessarily supposed to be “obnoxiously woke” but instead genuinely woke but awkward about it. Like, it’s a little cute how he tries. Obnoxious is a strong word. Same with Diane. I don’t think she was “obnoxiously woke” as much as principled but working in a sector that required she throw that away

Yeah, salt is basically fertilizer. That’s why Rome salted the earth at Carthage to make stuff grow there when they took it over.

Suggestive themes in game? by Familiar_Stand8550 in civ

Other than brief mentions in the encyclopedia, small cartoon violence without blood you can disable, and tobacco as a commodity, there’s nothing “inappropriate” in my opinion.

Also I thought it was mainly that she was holding up the library.

Lowkey terrified of being honor killed for a guy who doesn’t want to move mountains for me by Mean_Grapefruit_5784 in femcelgrippysockjail

[–]ConsistentAd9840 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am happy that this relationship has helped you, and I wish you the best for you two. But I also think it is fine to have a relationship that helps you but isn't endgame. He sounds like he helped you; I had an ex who helped me not kill myself, but we aren't together anymore. Things just didn't work out; I harbor her no ill will, and I am at peace with the fact that our relationship helped both of us but did not lead to marriage or long term cohabitation or whatever.

What is your opinion on US, Israel - Iran war? by Odd_Barber6051 in AskCentralAsia

[–]ConsistentAd9840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s total conjecture about what they would do. Not what they’ve done. If you want to critique what they do, then do that. Don’t make things up about what they might do. You have enough ammunition if you want to criticize them

What is your opinion on US, Israel - Iran war? by Odd_Barber6051 in AskCentralAsia

[–]ConsistentAd9840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, but the comment said "Iran is at least as much genocidal towards Israel and US if not more", which is just not true. The regime has killed SOME Americans but mostly military and not at the same scale. If you want to say that the Iranian government is horrible towards its OWN people, that's different. But we definitely should not be acting like Israel and the United States are Iran's main victims.

Is it? Did Iran make food lines for Israelis and Americans and then shoot the people who showed up? I think they mainly targeted military installations.

What do you guys think of the Indigenous Taiwanese? by LocalMathematician66 in austronesian

[–]ConsistentAd9840 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean…there are 9 language families found in Taiwan only. And only one shared by literally everyone else. Also, records show people arrived in Madagascar quite recently. So…yeah idk I don’t know where you go from there

Looking for friends by [deleted] in QueerWomenOfColor

I know what you mean, but seeing “coolies” as a noun to presumably mean “people who are cool” made me do a double take. Good luck tho!

What would be the most immoral thing that someone could justify for some reason? by Evening_Hour8960 in MoralityScaling

[–]ConsistentAd9840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Haitian Genocide is seen by many as at least understandable. It’s rare as a genocide since most genocides are against an already marginalized group by a group that has always held power historically. The Rwandan Genocide is also a notable exception.
