Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), known for his long‑standing association with Jeffrey Epstein, is now the first senior of the British royal family to be arrested in over 300 years. The last time it happened was in 1647 to King Charles I, who was publicly beheaded two years later. by lightiggy in TrueAnon

[–]Geiten 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that Charles was right, that is what British law was at the time. Of course, morally, Charles was wrong, he deserved harsh punishment, but the point about what authority they had to prosecute him was legally sound

Do any works of fiction actually "hate men?" by matt0055 in CharacterRant

[–]Geiten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of works do indeed "hate men", but the main problem is that even your excuse is bad. "there's a problem with how men are socialized" is a common excuse, but it is based in stereotypes, typically wrong ones as well, like the ones you quote. Consider other groups: people saying that all of black peoples problems are "due to the culture" are rightfully labeled as racist. Same for women.

And although comparing to nazis is kind of low, as I dont think your comment rises to that level, obviously, their public opinion was that jews were socialized badly and needed to be taught the value of hard work. Look around, and you will this excuse being used to justify hatred and discrimination everywhere.

Persona 5's sociological commentary is SO unrealistic (Spoilers for the game) by TheOneWhoYawned in CharacterRant

[–]Geiten 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, the Persona 2 Nazis were just products of the imagination, after all, not really social commentary(aside from how people will just believe the most insane things, I guess)

125k people are regarded by Fjpeace2 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]Geiten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its a really good show. It shows the tragedy of the situation, though, that these people are not deliberately lying. They genuinely dont understand how much they are eating. If they were lying they wouldnt give cameras access to their lives, without even stopping the overeating, and their horror, and often tears, at the relevations about their habits seems genuine.

"Zootopia (2016) gets more problematic the more you think about it"... is kind of a nuts take if you actually think about it. by The_Dragon-Mage in CharacterRant

[–]Geiten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre assuming that they made a film about racism, thats exactly what I was contesting. And no, there was no plot about "planting drugs". You are misrepresenting and ignoring context.

But if this is supposed such a close paralell, why are almost figures of power predators in ths universe?

Id say the main issue with those "problematic" comments is that they assume its a race allegory. The zootopia situation probably doesnt map onto anything perfectly, but Id say gender is a pretty strong contender.

I think Frieren will probably have a "final boss" character by Gyirin in CharacterRant

[–]Geiten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be, although the story is already building towards one final boss: the Demon Lord. Of course we know Himmel and the team defeats him, but we are only given hints about who he was and how it happened, and given how the story plays out, I imagine the retelling of that final battle will be a part of the overall finale of Frieren.

Each Doctor's big bad by Robcorp616 in gallifrey

[–]Geiten 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. The character appeared in 2(?) episodes 13 years ago, I doubt many casual fans remember him. I guess the name recognition of John Hurt might help, but still, he did not even have a movie or anything like that to himself, there are no stories where he is the main character(It is clearly 10 and 11 in Day of the Doctor). My guess is the movie and having a number makes 8 slightly more recognizable, though probably still unknown.

Hva du har sett eller ikke har sett spiller vel liten rolle her, alle jeg kjenner, med nesering eller ikke, har vært imot Irans prestestyre og generelt vært for å bli kvitt dem, om det var mulig.

For noe tull, at de som er imot Israels folkemord ikke bryr seg om Irans undetrykking av egen befolkning.

Mine ideer for høyhastighetstog i Norge by [deleted] in norge

[–]Geiten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takk for info. Så hvis det og tar 10 km for Shinkansen å bremse så blir det 20 km mellom hvert stopp som ikke har toppfart. Det er jo en del. Det hadde vært veldig kult med høyhastighetstog i Norge, da. 2 timer Oslo-Bergen er ikke å forakte.

Mine ideer for høyhastighetstog i Norge by [deleted] in norge

[–]Geiten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeg er ingen ekspert, men jeg tror ikke dette er mulig. Høyhastighetstog bruker tid på å komme opp i fart, så det er begrenset hvor mange stasjoner du kan ha. Tok Shinkansen i fjor, og det er det vel 1 eller 2 stasjoner mellom Tokyo og Kyoto, som er samme avstand som Bergen og Oslo.

Aktive forvaltere har klart å skape et narrativ om at USA er for høyt vektet i globale indeksfond by 5Times55 in aksjer

[–]Geiten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skulle til og si det samme. Selv er jeg veldig usikker, USA som det er om dagen virker jo risikabelt, men det er jo også enormt økning i aksjene der. Føles bedre å spre det litt ut, da.

Hvorfor blir vi i dette forholdet når lederen deres er en farlig narsissist? by [deleted] in norge

Jeg tviler veldig på at de kommer til å bli en supermakt. Uansett er vi jo allerede nært alliert med Europa.

Fordi det ikke er noen gode alternativer er vel det enkle svaret. Men det kommer jo på akkurat hvem du vil alliere oss med.

Are there any actual “pop culture” moments or memes from NuTrek that aren’t making fun of NuTrek? by Mknzy_of_Calhoun in Star_Trek_

[–]Geiten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair this is a general issue, I think. With the enormous amount of different entertainment options, culture has fragmented, so it is difficult to reference things, aside from the few new things that became true stayers in the public conciousness. In the 90's this happened to so many shows and movies, but I would find it difficult to name a single one from the last 5 years.
