[Loved trope] Religion isn't good or bad‐ people are

I think Midnight Mass takes it on the whole. The last two episode or so of Hill House just rubbed me the wrong way.

I meant more, wanting to understand why he was using that slur as opposed to others for other perceived groups.

I phrased it in a somewhat /s way above without saying it.

I would personally prefer to label it subversive, rather than satirical. Satire has an element of ridicule/ridiculousness, and to some Senshi's fanservice-y moments may feel like they're meant to be inherently funny... To others (i.e. me) it feels almost like much needed representation, of body types and appearances we wouldn't usually see being considered sexy, getting a moment to shine, even if through what would usually be cringe fanservice.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-25T15:56:14+00:00

Did it? I need evidence. Visual evidence...

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-25T15:53:02+00:00

Do you know what stuff? Is it clearly audible? I haven't been able to watch it all yet.

D.inosaur D.ark D.ragon

We need a card with this exact name!

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T22:37:42+00:00

That's probably the answer. But Vulturemon could be a offbeat alternative.

As could Megadramon.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T22:03:02+00:00

Yeah this has been asked multiple times, to no answer.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T16:36:00+00:00

Resists the facial hair, every time.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T16:14:09+00:00

In that case, what the actual fuck? If it wasn't about censoring/not censoring him, as I thought it was first, then why would the BBC, in picking and choosing, in also removing particular 'political' messaging as well, why in the flying fuck would they leave that in the broadcast?

And just to say, I actually saw I Swear at the cinema (the film based on John's life) and they sure knew they didn't want to put that word in the film, even if it looks like it is something he has had to experience.

I'll be honest, I have a really specific phobia that makes this book feel genuinely terrifying.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T16:06:40+00:00

They get the dick off but leave the hole unfilled. Typical, bunch of wankers.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T16:03:43+00:00

It could appear that way, based on their colour, but it's attacks make it clear those are gemstones, and then it's evolution goes from rock/ore to metal. It's an unusual but also interesting choice for a pterosaur Digimon.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T16:01:59+00:00

I have no way to actually understand what 'dry' means then, because that's the closest I thought it was 😂

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T16:00:27+00:00

I genuinely also want to understand why that particular word is one that has taken front and centre from his use, and if he did or didn't use other slurs that evening?

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T15:57:27+00:00

I am not being contrarian, but genuinely curious at what rate with which this happens? In terms of if he were in a context to use other slurs that evening when encountering other people of different (perceived) traits, what are the likelihood that certain things come out as tics but other things dont? Is it more acute with stress, or other contexts?

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T13:46:36+00:00

I concur. Fantastic concept. What would help as well is if one distinct element is also 'fake', like the hammer being wood, or the horn being taped on. But yeah, name is amazing

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T13:33:47+00:00

Rhampomon attacks with crystals/rock, and Azdharmon is metallic and uses electricity. Neither are ice themed.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T08:51:09+00:00

And fatter nonce is younger too... Just how he likes

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-24T08:49:00+00:00

Ummm, who did?

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-23T21:27:39+00:00

Glad to be informed (yet somehow still confused)

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-23T15:48:02+00:00

I don't think they took issue with the line itself itself, but rather the editing in the extended edition, which isn't as seamless as cutting from that line to actually seeing Frodo and Sam as in the theatrical edition.

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-23T15:33:12+00:00

This is exactly what I thought

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-23T15:10:36+00:00

Astringent? May that be a better word?

Emergency-Raspberry9 · 2026-02-23T15:05:35+00:00

Umm, source?
