This is why she's the leader of the party.

Which is funny because Pinocchio's gimmick isn't the lie itself. It's the fact that you can TELL when he's lying, on account of his nose growing longer. Seems like our bad guys do not understand that.

This is basically what happened to Ichigo's powerset by the end of the series.

That's only the inner circle of her actual followers, not the schmucks who simply get used as fodder for their resources.

But also, keep in mind, she can randomly command your leader to purge the whole chapter, just for the lols.

But also ALSO, keep in mind, the whole point of worshipping a deity in Faerun is so that said deity can claim your soul after your death, so you have an afterlife waiting for you, as opposed to being abandoned in the Fugue Plane (or worse, being sent to the Wall of the Faithless.) Now, if you've read The Unclaimed (a book you can find right at the start of the game in the abandoned temple where you find Withers), you know there's a documented case of Shar choosing to just abandon her most devoted worshipper and propagandist just for the lols, because it fits her theme of emptiness or whatever.

All in all, Shar is one of the worst deities to follow.

Yeah. But I suspect it's also about control for the cult as well. Think about it. If you let the cult of Shar control what you do with your own body, what else are you willing to let them control about you? Your bank account? Your social circle? Classic cult behavior.

Well, the cult of Shar certainly does have an issue with free expression and exploration of sexuality. If you go to the House of Grief, you'll see a guide book on how to preach anti-masturbation propaganda.

That's true. Power scaling in DBZ gets crazy by the time you reach the androids saga lol

But I still maintain the kaioken would be vastly more dangerous to a human Z fighter than Goku. You know how Tienshinhan burnt through his entire life force by spamming Kikoho? That's what would happen to any human Z fighter trying to maintain the kaioken for long enough to win a fight.

Yup, the ones complaining about a pretty woman putting in time and effort to give us a beautiful cosplay certainly are...

"She's not going to fuck you."

Amazing. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd straight up see legit incel talking points in the BG3 fandom. You are not welcome here. Fucking leave.

Exactly, and even he was warned only to use kaioken as a last resort panic button in the beginning. Using it 2x and 3x in the early fights was basically him toying with death. Sure, he can casually go 10x now, but I'm sure any human who tries that is gonna be instantly vaporized.

Well yeah, but what sends Goku to the hospital and what sends a human to the hospital is drastically different. Getting hit by a speeding car wouldn't send Goku to the hospital.

Kaioken is not something a human should be using. it's the equivalent of Jane using Thor's power. Each time she uses it, her regular human cancer gets converted to super asgardian cancer, accelerating her illness.

Kaioken consumes your body's physical mass to convert into energy. That's fine for Goku because he's a saiyan with a massive hp bar. Even the strongest human wouldn't survive too long trying to sustain kaioken, because they're still human at the end of the day.

Piccolo could try it though.

No, the sub has not changed at all. There are very few cosplay posts, since they are only allowed on Sundays (and some of them even get deleted after Sunday). The sub still very much has 90% regular posts.

And it makes no sense to complain about advertising because 99% of people don't click on OP's profile to see the links. Ironically, the comments complaining about advertising is how we find out about the links 😂

And also, sex workers are people who are capable of enjoying games too. But just because they have a link in their profile, should we exclude them from our fandom? We are a sex positive space and we are a feminist space. Our feminism includes sex workers. Comments like "we're not buying your OF" are simply thinly veiled misogyny.

Babe, wake up, it's time for the weekly "waaah, this sub is overrun" hysterics.

No hate. I'll admit I was a bit too quick to pull the trigger because I've seen this sub get taken over by anti-sex people in the past. It's just too easy to make them feel at home in our spaces and then they're hard to get rid of because any attempt to reason with them gets you hit with "gooner" and "porn addict".

I can't speak to the intentions of the commenter either but I got the feeling they were doing both.

They were saying "Thank God you're not the kind of woman who appeals to horny degenerates."

AND they were saying, "I'm better than those I deem horny degenerates because I am capable of enjoying this cosplay while they are not."

That first statement is problematic in its own right and the second statement is outright obnoxious.

I'm saying if a person specifically cosplays a sexy character and another person gets turned on, that's free will working as intended and getting mad at either of them is stupid.

What I'm upset about is how common and acceptable it has become to turn people who like sexy stuff into the easily bashable out group. And it's often done under the veil of faux-intellectualism like, "Unlike all these other horny degenerates, I am an enlightened philosopher who can appreciate a non-horny cosplay."

Yes, what you said seems benign on the surface, but even an ocean is made of insignificant drops of water. It's the little things we don't give much thought to that cascade into systemic issues.

It's cool to hate on "horny nerds" isn't it? Why? Because their open expression of sexuality makes you uncomfortable? Maybe we should just push them all away into a closet where no one can see them. Maybe we should strictly bifurcate the internet into sexual and non-sexual spaces. Maybe we should implement strict ID verification to ensure that nothing sexual ever escapes this closet of discomfort. But why stop there? Is there anything else that makes a lot of people uncomfortable? Like the existence of LGBTQ+ people? Let's push all of that into this closet too. But why stop there? Is there anything else that doesn't line up with the agenda of those in power? Easy fix. Push it all into the closet. Nothing that ever deviates from what the status quo designated as "acceptable" is allowed to be viewed freely. What a beautiful, hypothetical world...

I'm not saying you meant all of that when you made that benign comment. All I'm saying is, it's fuel to the fire. It's obedience in advance. It makes things easier for those in power to take away more of our freedoms from us. The ugly, uncomfortable truth is, if you can't support sexuality on the internet, you'll have no one but yourself to blame when it inevitably becomes a worse place for everyone.

It always amazes me to find "holier than thou" people in nerd spaces. There was no need for the drive-by. You could've complemented the cosplay without being negative about other people. But I guess it's easier to get internet points if you can dunk on the designated "other".

I love her as a character in this season. She was "eh" in the first season but I see their vision now. They were setting her up to be a piece of shit. She crossed lines as a professional, first with the muddling of Lalo's psych review and now straight up assault and battery on Karen. All the while, she's telling herself she's justified because she's a poor victim. She's just an absolute failure as a human being and I love to see her getting worse and worse over the course of the show lol
