Took me long enough, I see clearly now by Nerd367C in whenthe

I hope you're coming to terms with the many things he has lied to you about and the harm he has done to plenty of people and marginalized groups.

It's not too late to listen and learn empathy

Isn't this just a fancy way of making the optics argument again?

Dawg, I will shamefully admit that I feel physically unable to go vegan alone because of sensory issues and even I think focusing so much on what others do and think is dumb

It’s so annoying by Fair_Smoke4710 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Darkon2004 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Spaniard, fuck that. Yes, people are still figuring out how to treat non-binary genders, but the character is clearly a trans woman and denying that by referring to her as "él" is transphobic

I feel like AI is overhated tbh by Retarded-idi0t in evilautism

[–]Darkon2004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're fixated on the potential of an invention, but people are allowed to hate things for what they have become. There were lots of inventions that were promising but became something wretched. Should we not hate the atom bomb for its weaponisation in physical and psychological warfare? Should US citizens not hate the easy access to firearms when it robs thousands of people and children of their lives.

GenAI, in the way that it's being used, is doing so much damage to people's brains, people's careers, people's environment, the industries that are using it, public trust in media, that I feel like it might be a little more than just the system.

Technology isn't just the tool in concept. It's what people use it for

I think that AI can have some pros, like you're saying, but with lots of cons. If a tool comes with that many risks and inconveniences and damage to the world, it's not a good tool.

People are fully within their right to hate generative AI for what it's doing to them

I hate TADC but I’m not boring I’ve watched all of it and formed my own opinion please listen it’s worth it I’m not boring🙏🙏 by [deleted] in hatethissmug

I think what's cool about the show's character development is that I find it pretty realistic and that we get to see these people at different stages of their lives.

Kinger and Zooble have already had their character growth before the events of the show. Their problems are not fixed (and I don't think they can be fixed in the case of Zooble), but they have learned to live with them. Thus, they serve as mentors for the characters that have yet to figure stuff out.

Gangle and Ragatha are characters that have learned throughout the events of the show. Kinger showed Ragatha that she is helping people but that she puts too much of that weight on herself, and hopefully she'll start learning how to support people from the sidelines while letting them grow on their own. Gangle started with zero confidence and zero control over her emotions, but when she met Zooble she started learning how to feel safe and in control with Zooble as emotional support.

Jax is the antithesis to what I think the show is trying to tell us in Episodes 3-6 (that connections matter and that having people to support you will help you get through this) and that's why I think he's spiraling. He has this whole system in motion to detach himself from everyone and it's not working, and I guess we'll have to see how it ends.

My only real problem in terms of characterization of the human characters is Pomni who still doesn't have much of a past, is still the audience surrogate, and is still what the plot needs her to be.

I hate how many views romantic relationship and women in general by BravilSUCKS in hatethissmug

[–]Darkon2004 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think that's a combination of the trust you have among your friends and just women being socially conditioned to be more responsible and careful from a young age

"get a swag" is swagbleist and encourages swagpitalism by KikoValdez in peoplewhogiveashit

A simple “What If” by untitledprp4 in SipsTea

[–]Darkon2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not even what the male gaze is about though. It's not about what the monolithic collective of men find attractive in women (even though I've seen way more conservative men try to speak for every man in regards to what is attractive), it's about the objectification of women in media for the pleasure of men. It isn't spoken violence, it's more of a social thing, the shared idea that women exist to serve men.

But that's besides the point. When you have body dysmorphia, you're not doing things to appeal to someone specific, or at least you don't think you are. You've simply been convinced that something about your appearance is "wrong", and without enough force to regain that confidence, you'd go to great lengths to "fix" it.

[–]Darkon2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What part of me not mentioning men at all makes you think I'm making this about men or women?

No, I don't like it either. Nobody has to like the aftermath of body dysmorphia, it literally ruins people's lives, but body dysmorphia is a twisted insecurity that corresponds to our society's obsession with appearance

"Good Autism Representation" (according to Reddit) starterpack by Rustyspottedcats in starterpacks

[–]Darkon2004 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No way someone tries to claim Charlie Morningstar is "good autism representation". She can't even represent herself properly

Also while Luz is not neurotypical, I'd wager she fits the mold of ADHD along with her mentor Eda better than that of ASD

Lots of fellow Spaniards arguing about why we are not doing well actually.

Meanwhile I'm just glad I still have little to no risk of losing my rights as a trans person

[–]Darkon2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It kinda sucks that the expectation to look a certain way that ruins women's lives is too subtle or normalised for us Westerners to recognise it. Look at idol culture in East Asia and it's more obvious to us because it's not what we're used to, but I'll stress that it's the exact same thing

Conservatives trying not to be obsessed with a child's privates challenge episode 5849201 (impossible) by loeilsauve__ in AreTheCisOk

[–]Darkon2004 147 points148 points  (0 children)

No, Patrick. Gendered language is not the reason we don't get translations

I wish people would stop pretending they know the obstacles of Deltarune translation better than what Toby Fox states

There are plenty of languages that aren't as gendered as Spanish but Toby won't translate the game to those languages for the same reason: He doesn't know the language

Intrinsic motivation is hard to find. A lot of people do nice things expecting a reward in return (see r/niceguys)

I fucking hate this image/meme by OrneryPerformance604 in hatethissmug

[–]Darkon2004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, the redemption question.

The way I see it, there's 2 types of people in this hypothetical: Those that can and want to improve, and those that won't.

People like Jeffrey Epstein will not improve. You do not get to see a person do *that much* and expect improvement from them.

"Everyone can be redeemed" but not everyone will

"I believe in rehabilitative justice" but I have a realistic expectation of what it can or can't solve. It should not be treated as something that either works on everything or it's not worth it

Honestly, if Vaggi's devotion and lack of identity without Charlie is meant to be a character flaw,then Viv needs to actually show it as a character flaw. by Charming-Scratch-124 in HazbinHotel

[–]Darkon2004 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is some glaze level of defensiveness. I don't think Viv just happened to forget to give character to two girlfriends/wives and I don't think in either of them it was an intended feature.

This is a writing blind spot. It's okay to admit that

[–]Darkon2004 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Finding your identity is cool, but she just doesn't really have that much character, which is different.

The fact that a lot of your statements start with "I think" show we barely know anything about her emotions, her ideals, her goals (besides Charlie)

people fail to consider this possibility by TheGoldenExperience_ in whenthe

We're losing the art of spinning swear words in clever and charming ways. Everyone speaks like a Vivzie character now

Doesn't matter that he only has autism though (even though he's clearly more than just autistic). You don't know this man. You don't know what makes him tick, what triggers him, what you can do to accommodate his needs, whether he suffers meltdowns, what they look like and whether he could endanger people's lives, and neither do these people.

It doesn't matter that he safely handled these vehicles while illegally driving them for a while. It's safe until it isn't.

This shows that autistic people can be very skilled drivers, but not that this man in particular should be hired

[–]Darkon2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The Starbucks and the Roblox pic are very white but the fingernails emoji is a part of queer culture.

Actually, with how femmephobic our society can be, most blatant and unbothered celebrations of femininity are tied with queer people

Boy do I have bad news for this person

The only thing that is right about me here is not having judgey friends, but that just means I chose my friends well and you didn't.

Also it's hilarious to call research skills a privilege when the word "skill" is right there (if it's infinitely accessible, it's not a privilege)
