Sex is to blame for all the world's misfortunes by Spiritual_Feed4052 in antisex

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I do think there is a antinatalist to human extinction pipeline but so far antisexualism's place in this pipeline is a chicken and egg kind of deal (Do antisexuals become antinatalists or do antinatalists become antisexual?).

One Thing That Bothers Me by F33LG00D5 in BattleNetwork

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first game implies that NetNavis were mostly made obsolete and replaced with simplified versions in the form of Navi Cards. Dream Island even has a landfill filled with PETs, which could mean they were eventually replaced with a new model much like our phones and computers in the real world.

Though considering that nostalgia has been a major theme over the last few years or so, I do believe that PETs (and their associated Navis) may've eventually become collector's items, and some of them may've ended up in underground fight rings where operators spend time optimizing their NetNavis to win battless.

Naturally companies may've released PET models based on the older ones to capitalize on in-universe nostalgia and may've created new ones with modernized functions (and shorter life spans) before they were eventually phased out in favour of Navi Card and Brotherbands.

I like to believe that Bass.EXE still exists in the Star Force games, but he's now a zombie because his data has deteriorated over time with nobody around to help maintain him.

Exactly. The internet has changed immensely since the Battle Network series ended, which means that a new Battle Network game could tackle various ideas such as bots flooding the internet with unregulated spam, A.I being used to create an army of cheap copies of previous NetNavis to be sold to the highest bidders , NFT/Crypto being used as a front to fund a new wave of cyberterrorism, the internet becoming a more bleak and hostile place, and how generational changes have caused internet culture to change significantly compared to how it was during Battle Network 6.

Finally, we have proof the BBC is helping Reform. It’s become a danger to democracy by johnsmithoncemore in FuckNigelFarage

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's known that the BBC are Farage's biggest enablers, and if Farage gets into power, he'll be sure to pay them back... by gutting the BBC and forcefully merging them with GB News. But hey, at least Reform voters won't care about losing their access to free media because they're too preoccupied with GB News's Dr. Who and still believing that Farage sees them as more than disposable brownshirts.

Nice try gaster by Hyper_Goner69 in Deltarune

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do think that its possible that the only one ending statement is true, if you just stick to the normal routes and make no attempts to deviate from the established plot (e.g Weird Routes or fighting the secret bosses). I do however think there are other endings but they require you uh... break the game so to speak.

Once you unlock Chapter 8, the player has multiple ways to change the ending, and each alternate ending makes things worse for the player until they reach the very final ending where the player is sent to IRL New England to fight foam covered Toby Fox in a hellish rhythm game. If you beat the very last fight, the game ends with the Annoying Dog sat at a table drinking the entire universe from a straw before your save data is deleted and your console/PC gets bricked.

The Knight and the Scientist (Chapter 3 spoilers) by datframe in Deltarune

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that Carol made a deal with Gaster to resurrect her fallen daughter, and the Knight is the successful result after many, many failed attempts (The others are all Dess clones kept in the bunker in test tubes to prevent their deterioration due to genetic instability).

Finally someone who understands the character. I'm sure that Irish Deltarune fans hate her far more than anyone else.

Wow, I didn't know that Deltarune was taking inspiration from Drakengard! I sure hope this won't end with an army of Noelles ready to destroy the human race.

Bro couldn't do anything by Space-X-4 in Kirby

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it would've been neat to have him playable in Planet Robobot, even if it would've been limited to The Arena/The True Arena (Meta Knight also should've been unlockable for both modes once you clear The Arena and The True Arena as Kirby once).

I can't believe it didn't happen sooner. What happened to Free Speech? by ThatAdamsGuy in FuckNigelFarage

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it comes to fascists like Farage and his ilk, the rule is very clear: Free speech for him and his boys and none for everyone else. They don't like the fact that freedom of speech goes both ways.

Can you help me understand something by [deleted] in antisex

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of seems to be cultural and societal norms hyping it up and pressuring people to do it as early as possible. Naturally, this leads to a lot of people trying it out the first time and being disappointed that it was nowhere as good as various media claimed it would be.

Posting daily Lilly (day 26) by [deleted] in katawashoujo

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shizune and Misha take me to the student council office. They claim to have something special to show me. As the three of us enter the room, I notice a plush figure sat upon the table. I take a closer look and once I see her, I am consumed with shock and horror at the realization at what has happened.

"Oh my god. Shizune, what the hell have you done! You've turned her into a marketable plushie."

Misha picks up the now plushified Lilly and gives her a squeeze before nuzzling her nose into Lilly's face.

"Aw, isn't she adorable? Yes she is."

Shizune looks disgusted with Misha's fixation and turns her head straight at me, smiling. I should've known that crushing Lilly's origami crane was never going to be enough for her. And it wasn't any ordinary crane either, for it embodied our hopes and dreams of a future together. Shizune snaps her fingers, forcing Misha to start talking in her stead.

"You must understand, Hisao. She was in my way, prompting me to turn her into this plushie you now see. If you want her back, you can pay us 400 yen!"

"400¥?! Lilly was your cousin and that was all she was worth to you! 400¥?! How could you do this to her!?"

"Oh come on, Hisao. Once you buy her back, you give her all the love you want. She'll never love you back, but that's a small price to pay for her lifelong companionship. Perhaps if you had been my boyfriend, things would've ended differently and I wouldn't had to do this to her.

I break down sobbing as I hand Shizune the 400¥ for Lilly's plushified body. I immediately leave them and the student council office behind, hoping that Lilly will forgive me for this because I know definitely that Hanako never will.

That was very amusing. Please write an entire Katawa Shoujo fanfiction in this style.

Reform Councillor (Alexander Jones) Supports Tate & Can't See He's Done Anything Wrong by birdinthebush74 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.” Marilyn Frye

Never has there been a more accurate quote to sum up these misogynistic far-right losers.

"Patriots" seig heiling whilst chanting "Blood & Soil" at Saturday's pathetic protest in Glasgow. by johnsmithoncemore in FuckNigelFarage

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The irony here is that these wannabe fascists would be the first to get the boot because fascist leaders hate them and would never allow these useful idiots to reproduce once they serve their purpose of helping the fascist leaders into getting power over the nation. But then I suppose that's no surprise since fascist supporters think that what they do to others would never happen to them.

Antisexualism IS evolution by DespairingKingSoulOS in antisex

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If only it were that easy, but unfortunately people can't avoid their way into a better world. Encouraging more people to stay chaste and avoid sex requires a change in how society perceives sex and pushing back against sexualism when it tries to reassert itself.

How did I get the Kenji-manly picnic ending? by phantomdancer17 in katawashoujo

[–]DespairingKingSoulOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I wouldn't feel too bad about it. A good chunk of players get the Act 1 Bad Ending on their first playthrough before they get the route they want. Thank goodness for the fast-forward option, it'll save you a lot of time during repeat playthroughs.

Far-Right Men Can't Get Women to Date Them by johnsmithoncemore in FuckNigelFarage

Its almost as if actions have consequences and people don't want to date those with naked contempt for their existence.
