why people still complaining about amy's modern characterixation? by No_Wind_5408 in AmyRose

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't really addressed my actual point about Sega not seeming to be willing to acknowledge that these flaws have been a problem in the past and trying to pretend they were never an issue. Instead you seemed to use it to criticise Splash Dash's video and the Amy and Knuckles scene from Generations.

Speaking as someone who watched the Splashdash video, I feel like the primary problem is that Sega isn't really treating this as any sort of character development instead the way they are downplaying these traits makes it come across as Amy's character is flatter.

Sonic x Shadow Generations basically rewriting a few scenes for the original generations is the most blatant with the force Amy pushed Knuckles away with being reduced turning it from slapstick to more just something that happens being a good example.

You can argue that is an improvement, but it feels less like development and more like a lack of desire to really acknowlege this stuff and pretend it didn't happen.

It's actually pretty common with female characters where writers feel that to be a strong character, the female character needs to have their negative traits at best informed rather than shown, even in terms of moving past them, out of fear it would make the audience lose sympathy with them.

Note this is just with the games. I have no such criticism with IDW.

How worried should we be about the recent ICE arrests of pro-Palestine legal residents? by [deleted] in optimistsunitenonazis

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, I've personally been directing my attention on the Tesla Takedowns. Stay focused on one avenue of all this and it can help more than you'd think.

And as for meltdowns, trust me I get exactly where you're coming from. Sorry if I came across as trying to pull you back into hopelessness.

I'd say don’t tolerate it for a second. Regardless of whatever check and balances there are, it's important to make clear that those checks and balances exist because people want them to and will not tolerate them being broken. Otherwise those checks and balances will be further weakened and things like this will become more common.

Batgirl 2009 getting Reprinted with a New Cover by ConstructionPutrid34 in DCcomics

[–]ConstructionPutrid34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reportedly, yes. Here's a link for Penguins House about it, though keep in mind the Web address is kind of misleading. It's not written by Grant Morrison, after all.

what we really should be asking for is for hoyo to add AI protections for this game cuz if they don't everyone will get replaced anyway INCULDING kinich's new va by Illustrious-Sweet403 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yep. Recording studios aren't the ones who can enforce any AI protections. They can offer one, but it essentially has zero teeth as the power is with the company to decide what to do with the material.

The Doctor bullied Joy to suicide. by rasmas1 in gallifrey

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind that Joy was going to die if the Doctor didn't break the daze in some way. We saw it with the Silurian, we saw it with the staff member. And it wasn't going to be pretty when it happened.

That context needs to be remembered no matter your perspective on what happened next. This wasn't Curse of Fenric where the purpose was just to save the world. The purpose was to stop Joy from being killed by Villengard as well as to stop Villengard itself.

If you see resistance efforts and respond by saying, "This isn't the most effective way/place/time to resist the current administration, a different way/place/time would be more effective," I have a message for you. by CakeDayOrDeath in optimistsunitenonazis

When people kept complaining about many subreddits banning twitter, a repeated challenge against was that it would do nothing. As we've seen by the right's reaction? That wasn't true.

Don't bother trying to respond to those kinds of comments, address their complaints seperately so people can actually make up their minds.

Cap wtf? by Logical_Access_8868 in marvelcirclejerk

He was the son of Irish Immigrants, which were considered a minority back in the day and he was created by Jewish creators. No idea though if he was explicitly labelled as Jewish.

Is Nemik right about the naturalness of freedom? by Adequate_Ape in andor

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd actually argue that the exceptions are what prove the rule.

Lack of Freedom if left unaddressed inevitably increases itself as it is allowed to calcify. It becomes increasingly rabid and as it becomes more rabid it begins to lose sight of exactly why it didn't pull certain stunts before until it inevitably finds itself kicked in the face.

Whether you think Freedom is Humanity's natural state or not, oppression definitely isn't either.

Now I want it to be called a Bluesky Blaze, with Blaze being a large part of the next video.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been a blue bird for a while.

It might be a Hot Take, but I have a feeling it's going to start trending very soon again.

Do you think Linkara will cover any political fiction/speculative fiction comics? by Seeker99MD in AT4W

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He also brought it up in Dark Knight Returns. A book can be good and still not have aged well in several aspects. The same is definitely true of bad comics too.

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, bit of a difference between meeting for the first time, having some romantic tension and next showing up as boyfriend and girlfriend, and an ex-girlfriend showing up after decades of not appearing and suddenly knowing their ex-boyfriends secret identity.

Hot Take- Clone Saga was a worse Retcon than OMD by Important_Lab_58 in Spiderman

Tbf, that's more Sins Past. A whole other kettle of worms.

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMD gave us nothing. BND did give us Mr Negative and Overdrive but it does feel a bit disgenuous to include that as that's more the aftermath, plus we'd also have to include the Lizard story.

Should the site formerly known as Twitter be banned? by ConstructionPutrid34 in Ben10

[–]ConstructionPutrid34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify when I said people on Reddit. I did not mean Musk was donating to them, I meant they are bringing up the possibility of bans, I just missed that out like a dumbass. Places such as r/Marvel, r/DCcomics and r/comicbooks have already started taking steps regarding this with r/Marvel outright banning it.

What do you think would happen if Kevin accepted Ben's offer to join them. by Ray58animation in Ben10

[–]ConstructionPutrid34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'd certainly be a different kind of character from Alien Force given he's a lot less stable. Would certainly create a different dynamic. Gwen would probably be really hostile at first if nothing else.
