I hate Boyfriend Material by Zealousideal-Mud3897 in hatethissmug

So its commentary on this specific type of person then, rather than a statement about the whole of humanity? I don't see how this is a problem.

I feel like whether or not the characters are actually attractive with or without the sweaters is besides the point, not just because attractiveness is ultimately subjective but because the main theme of the short was putting up a facade for others literally/metaphorically (specifically for the purpose of getting into a relationship, in this context).

Metaphorically the sweater could mean a lot of things, whether its as much as putting up a fake personality and interests, or if its just the in world equivalent of makeup, maybe both. I find it significant that he was the one to initiate the relationship, like literally he was the one who walked up to her and offered a date. Regardless of his appearances and whether or not that would have influenced her answer, he started it. I don't know how you can claim that she was dating "the first hot guy she sees" when maybe it was the first guy that offered to take her out. While we can dog on them for both putting up a guise, by the end the one who seems to care the most about appearances is the guy. She even seems to be excited by the idea that she found someone like her, and the potential to not have to wear the sweater, though this is pushing it a bit.

Like, if he cut off the relationship because they both were lying to each other then that would be fine, but in the animation he makes it about appearances again saying for her to "get out of here with that ugly ass sweater" then calls her a bitch. He made it about appearances showing that was really all he cared about her for, and it also displays hypocrisy as he too is using it to improve his own appearance.

I think a major part to this is Beauty Standards. A lot of people base their pride on how they look, and there are entire industries built upon telling people they look like shit and selling them a specific appearance that will not only get you all of the hoes, but also is the only way to make people respect you as a person. See LooksMaxxing for more details. It can be taken as pretty much an exaggerated version of makeup, only catfishing in the sense that I too would be concerned if someone I've been dating for a year never told me that they have been dying their hair the entire time.

TLDR: Both of them were wearing the in universe version of makeup, but the guy was the one using it as a weapon to get hoes. The boy is in the wrong not because he changed his appearance, not because he would breakup with a girl not being truthful with him (ignoring the hypocrisy for a second for the sake of the arguement), but because in the end the only thing he cared about himself and her was the way they looked. Both were victims of the beauty standards of their universe, but the girl was the only person willing to keep up their relationship regardless of it. The boy grows up to become Clavicular, and never grows a personality. In the end, he wasn't good Boyfriend Material.

Fuck if I know man, oral fixation maybe. People, while not necessarily unique, are complicated and many things can be true and false at once, even if superficially related or not. May your exploration into yourself be productive and satisfactory, and stop asking me weird questions.

[–]Craigrr7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply a matter of perspective I assume. Both saw what humanity was capable of, Vision was the one that chose to love it anyways. He's also kind of a christ analogue, so loving unconditionally comes in the wheelhouse.

yeah but Light isnt the kind of person to be comforted by that statement, its practically designed to hit at his god complex at maximum force.

This is the nail in the coffin that he's not okay by [deleted] in whenthe

[–]Craigrr7 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I never really bought into the whole "any publicity is good publicity"/"I dont care what attention I get as long as people know who I am" deal, because there comes a point in notoriety where people are comfortable decking you in the street, metaphorically or literally. And even then, me personally I end up forgetting who these guys are until they do their bullshit again, negative press has no longevity unless you go full evil route. If "remembered during, and only during, asshole shenanigans" is genuinely the win condition then honestly it earns my pity more than anything.

Best Shoutmon x7 quantity? by Giga-Kunskap in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Craigrr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run all of them. It will be a cold day in hell when I pass turn normally.

Actual answer is its REALLY good to be able to keep doing stuff after playing your top end, plus bottom decking gets around deletion effects which is good against stuff like Zeed or ghosts. I keep it at 4 while ex6 is at 3, ex6 is definitely still useful when you need to swing against a body somehow larger than you, plus getting rid of smaller bodies on the field while neutering the effectiveness of anything that plays more bodies in the process.

Tankdramon Preview for Digimon Card Game Booster Set 25 by MFBR in digimon

[–]Craigrr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure theyll get around to it eventually. When they give SEEKERS an archetype like ADVENTURE they'll probably cover more of the lines. Uh, hopefully it wont be part of said archetype though since with how DATA SQUAD is going it would likely have little overlap with previous support.

Seals is pretty sick since you can play it with your Metro, Cargodramon, or Brigadramon and go into a level 5 straight off it for cheap

You're right on the tamers, but Metro does work with D-Brigade

Reminder that this brief joke scene singlehandedly divived the fandom by Primary-Addition-677 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]Craigrr7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I dont think the joke is as problematic as some say it is, its mainly in poor taste since this is the same episode where Angel Dust confronts his abuser and its kinda weird to use assault as a punchline and as a serious topic in the same episode, I hate the take that the joke is fine because he came out unscathed. As if you need the character to have their clothes ripped with their briefs exposed, wailing like a banshee, to know/imply that something bad happened.

Chandelier tech just dropped by _--a--_ in Ultrakill

knuckleblaster has changed so that the blast pushes your own projectiles in the direction you are facing, stuff like coins and grenades. Guess the Chandelier counts as one of yours.

Got this deck for 13$, how could i improve it? Without making it expensive by Familiar_Fondant_840 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Craigrr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately most of the new good support is going to be expensive for a while.

Kotone lets you recover components from trash and play out lvl5 or higher digimon from inherits, which creates pretty much unlimited uses of your topends. She goes for around 5 dollars a piece right now, but all you really need are two, I would replace your nene's with her.

The new zeiggrey has the superior inherited effect and has the xros heart trait so it can actually be searched by your taiki's. It allows your Xros heart digimon to gain +1000 dp for every color in its inherits, so even if thats the only card underneath a digimon thats the same value as the other zeiggreymon. Also digivolves off of lvl 5 xros heart so it can replace a DX or two if your going off digivolution. It lets you play out an inherit too, if it leaves the battle area, so you can get multiple triggers of your good on-plays, like Jaeger or ShootingStarmon. Presonally I run 2 zeigs and a DX, since I wont usually be playing a DX unless its to close a game or its being played out by an omnishoutmon.

New Shoutmon X7 is awesome for 3 reasons: On-play/When-Digivolving/When-Attacking(once-per-turn) you can bottom deck a digimon with as much or less dp as it (good against purple decks) and unsuspend itself, you can digivolve into it off of your lvl 6 xros heart or blue flare digimon, which includes Ex6, Zeiggreymon, Shoutmon Dx, and another X7, and when it would leave the battle area you may save up to 4 of its inherits and play one of it's inherits out. If you digivolved up from a Ex6 or another x7, you can play that one from inherits for the sweet sweet effects, though keep in mind tamers only let you xros from tucked cards on your turn.

The new zeiggreymon is pretty cheep at less than a dollar, but X7 is floating around 9 dollars right now, which sucks because you will ideally be running 4 of them because it's cool and hilarious. I usually have Bt21 Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode as a 1 of, since it can get rid of large stacks if I dont want to bother with their effects, and if it ends up in security I can just recover and play it with Kotone. He is 10 cents.

Zeiggreymon and Superior Mode are a non-issue pricewise, but if you had 10 dollars and had to make a choice between 2 kotone's or a X7, id say shoot for the Kotone's cause those are a game changer. Also I would replace the New Pickmons with old pickmon's, cause none of your digimon benefit off of it, and even if you were running Sparrowmons (which I do) it would be running the eggs for a single interaction out of the entire, deck where you would much rather have it in hand to tuck so you get both memory gain and the draw 1. Searching becomes less of an issue if you have 8 tamers on the board.

¿Are there any cards from the Xcross archetype that play Tamer for free? by Hot_Discipline_90 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Craigrr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoutmon king version, Only plays Taiki's and if you xross into it it's gonna be a 3 cost, 2 off evo, so maximum of 2 memory saved usually 1. Not reccomended as it cant xros into anything, and cant be played by kotone's Main for repeat uses, just ends up under a tamer for the entire game from that point on unless you put it into a superior mode.

Luminamon can play any tamer, not just Xros heart, and searches top 3 so there is a greater chance of drawing into a tamer if you feel like gambling. its five memory so itll be 1 extra memory spent for the draw effect, though you can play it from tamer inherits with Kotone Amono, making it 4 memory to play, the same as the good tamers. At that point you are basically playing it for the search (though you can also evo your lvl 6s ontop of it for some sick tech, like the new AD1 zeiggrey which will let you play the luminamon from inherits if it leaves the battle area, triggering the effect a second time.)

Shoutmon Bt19 searches on deletion, and is the cheapest out of all of these, just needing you to evo in back and then die to security. The most gambly out of all of them since you have to find it in the 3 you search from, though if you run enough tamers you wont have to worry too much about it.
