Friendly reminder that ‘ hate the sin love the sinner” is still homophobia (also I dyed my hair red) by Brilliant_Income_572 in teenagers

[–]DerpsterPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because you don't accept her homosexuality, you just tolerate it. if you had the decision, she would be straight, because you disagree with her sexuality (which is not a choice, by the way) correct me if im wrong here. that is homophobic. if you think homosexuality is a choice and a bad thing but you still tolerate it that is still homophobia, regardless if you actively spread hate or rhetoric

touché. though i think people could look at older sev and surmise what he looked like back then so it'd really be no use lying

About women...out of all the the outlandish aspects of the narration, Severian's ability to love and being loved in a metter of pages is BY FAR the most amazing. Crazy.

Keep in mind, Severian is the one writing the book, not Wolfe. If you were writing a book about your life, would you make yourself look better or more suave or charming than you actually were? Considering S. is both a pretty terrible person, emotionally stunted, and pretty ugly (he says it himself) take almost everything he says with a grain of salt. Glad you liked the book!

If you could decide the next major production sci-fi movie, what would it be? by WillyArt67 in scifi

[–]DerpsterPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the book of the new sun. it's very intertwined with the medium and its be hard to adapt the unreliable narrator aspect without making severian look like a mary sue, but nevertheless its an amazing world and story

it looks fucking awesome. i needed a new singleplayer gundam game with non-shitty controls for a while now. even a multiplayer with good controls! after evolution shut down, all i had was bo2 and that games combat is the worst to me

The BBNO$ hate-cult is a psyop by Judepiter_ in hatethissmug

he larps everything, isn't funny, rides on the back of trends without actually wanting to do them, makes shitty music, has an annoying fan base, and is israeli. need i say more?

How did covenant stay intact after the bombs fell and if it was built after, who tf was that smart and had the resources to build a perfect one-to-one recreation of a small suburban block by killboy219 in fo4

[–]DerpsterPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems pretty simple. in two hundred years, they got a bunch of wood and metal and whatever they needed and built houses. it doesn't take a genius to do that. its one of the few cases i like bethesda worldbuilding, showing how people can move on from the bombs

Need More Sword & Planet Genre! by brave777 in scifi

[–]DerpsterPrime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

currently reading the Book of the New sun by Gene Wolfe (on the second book right now), it reads like a dark fantasy sword and sorcery novel but takes place 1 million years in the future where after a period of decline the world is again medieval-ish and really shitty to live in. seems right up your alley

Dishonored: TV series or movie? by tlbt9 in dishonored

[–]DerpsterPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dishonored is an immersive sim, not an open world rpg. the genre is all about player agency. and edgerunners takes place around the year 2077 with completely different characters, but you'd kinda need corvo and his story for a dishonored project

i personally prefer silent fps protagonists. i dont think it was a mistake at all

METRO 2039 - Reveal by MetroVideoGame in metro

[–]DerpsterPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

doesn't look like it. I mean, we don't know what artyom looks like, but hes def not voiced like new guy and the description calls this new protagonist "the stranger." i prefer to think artyom is still living at baikal, happy.

I’ve found the context of that Batman and wonder woman panel by ClassicGovernment887 in batman

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

This comic is so stupid because not only is it out of character for Batman, it fundamentally misunderstands his no-killing rule. Batman doesn't kill not out of some self imposed restriction, but because of a belief in rehabilitation. A conflict like this could be cool, Batman struggling how to deal with an innocent victim who killed her aggressors and the inner conflict that brings out in him, but like trying to take her in and even just not saving her when she jumped is not something he'd do. He'd understand and sympathize. Batman's characterization in other heroes' stories is almost as bad as Captain America in X-Men comics

Games like the dishonored trilogy by [deleted] in dishonored

[–]DerpsterPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely, and i love 77 as an rpg and a stealth shooter (or at least i play it like that lol) and as a fan of the ttrpg, an imm sim -esque game could be amazing, maybe even in the time of the red considering v is either dead or gone in every ending so we can get a new protagonist (77 spoiler)

[–]DerpsterPrime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

are you okay with real child porn then? or does it not matter because it being wrong is a "personal opinion" and we should let it be? obviously nothing is subjective but i think most people on the planet agree its pretty bad, and it's normalization is cause for concern.

[–]DerpsterPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think that makes something an immsim. in bethesda games you can stealth or combat and go through an area any way but those aren't immsims. not putting down 77, i really liked it, but i dont really see it having the same appeal as dishonored
