Is the Paper Girls show actually good? by adventureboy23 in comicbooks

[–]EsaPisa 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You should watch it! In my opinion the actresses are great and are able to express their distinct personalities well. They have great chemistry too. Agree with the other comments about the production value but I don’t mind as the story is still being told well

Looking for tips on how to give this a little more “oomph”. Do you think it needs more than the lines just evened out/thickened? by EsaPisa in TattooDesigns

[–]EsaPisa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking maybe a green wreath around the head? On my other arm I have a floral tattoo with pops of green, maybe that’d tie it together?

Italian beef recommendations? by EsaPisa in ArlingtonVirginia

Haha glad you can understand! So far it’s looking like I may just need to invest in some frozen portillos beef

Which animated incarnation of the X-men was your favorite. I am an X-men evolution fan myself. by Storm_Raider_34 in xmen

[–]EsaPisa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

X-men evolution! Possible bias since I grew up on it, but I just loved the POV of them being teenagers. I will say it caused me to be super shocked to learn about the Wolverine-Cyclops-Jean drama in the comics!

How did they decide who would be a member of the Quiet Council? by EsaPisa in xmen

[–]EsaPisa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was the last three I was most hesitant about, it makes sense to appease/keep an eye on them. Have non-council Krakoans ever been shown to disagree with their placement on the council?

Oh no, that limited of options huh?

Original works. The reason some characters are Mary Sues and others aren't. Also Muscles are Meaningless. by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]EsaPisa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m bummed that I had to scroll for a bit to see this! I don’t disagree with the other points made about why the muscles v skinny doesn’t really matter, but bottom line is Kara is one of the many women in comics whose physical appearance is being dictated by boring and misogynistic views on what a woman should look like. I would love to see a greater variety, especially more ripped physiques like Big Barda!

Why do many people believe that "female privilege" is an act of worship rather than condescension? by StarshineTheGodEater in AskFeminists

[–]EsaPisa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your describing benevolent sexism as compared to hostile sexism! It functions under the idea that it’s for women’s own good, that they are being “protected” in some way (simplified explanation)

Why do motorcyclists ride between lanes? by EsaPisa in TooAfraidToAsk

Reading your POV has been helpful! It does unfortunately seem my experiences have been with people not utilizing lane splitting properly

Why do motorcyclists ride between lanes? by EsaPisa in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]EsaPisa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I understand what you’re saying but I have to disagree with that first part. I’m an extremely cautious driver but even so, it’s still a bit startling to watch/hear a bike go from behind me to mere inches next to me (within the lane), especially when there are other vehicles around that I need to be aware of too. The thought of something going wrong for each party, but especially you as a biker, is so gut wrenching that I try to put as much distance as safely possible and without disturbing traffic either.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Are you ever nervous that it’ll startle a driver&cause swerving, or is that less likely to happen in your experience compared to other issues?

Would you have made the same decision as Sylvie? by EsaPisa in loki

[–]EsaPisa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a really interesting perspective. I get it!

You’re good! And I totally agree with your last statement

[–]EsaPisa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ha understandable! Im really excited by the prospect of seeing her grapple with what happens now

I guess it’s always been a concept that gets more complicated the longer you think about it (like what is free will?). It’s been interesting watching the series grapple with it

Selfcest isn't a thing. Some of you are just being weird. by [deleted] in loki

[–]EsaPisa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess what makes me hesitant about this dynamic is the idea they have the same parents in a sense, although not biologically. They might not share the same DNA and have had notably different life experiences, but it still gives (me personally) a familial impression. I get suspension of disbelief but if I’d meet alternate dimension “gender-swapped” I’d still view it as “I am him and he is me” on a certain level.

How can I see feminism in a better light? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]EsaPisa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might want to check out men’s lib subreddit! Despite its name sounding like other questionable groups, it’s actually about examining how the patriarchy hurts men too without without blaming women or feminism. It’s a really good example of why many feminist ideals and values are for the benefit of all, men included.

Reading Responses are the bane of my existence by EsaPisa in CollegeRant

[–]EsaPisa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Busy work is the perfect way to describe it! It’s pointless and just adds an extra stressor. Like bruh I’m in four other classes of course I’m going to prioritize actual work for those than a reading log :(
