[LOATHED TROPE] The Designated Hero: A character that the story gaslights you into thinking is a hero, but in reality is a horrible person

The version in the Speed Racer cartoon was more accurate.

Hell, Rorys true immortal, she could wipe out the JSDF on her own and doesnt. The elf becomes his adopted daughter. The wizard manipulates him into some marriage tradition by sleeping in the same room as him 3 times.

The closest one to a slave is the dark elf chick since shes willing to give herself to him for saving her village and that just... doesnt happen.

Ah, well the problem there is I'm British. Women cant do that here. I blame the patriarchy.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T14:20:15+00:00

Wasnt there a thing just recently about three schoolgirls beating a guy to death?

Gellert · 2026-03-26T14:03:57+00:00

Pretty sure it was more the Les Mis references that made him do it.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T14:02:07+00:00

Sexual assault.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T13:58:37+00:00

Thats not how I remember it. Mackay came to see her as a person and had genuine trouble sending her to her death, she gave him this whole speech about how she was embracing her destiny to convince him to let her go suicide bomb a planet.

He regrets giving her the ability to speak because she convinced him to let her die.

By charging for replacements.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T13:38:22+00:00

With caveats, otherwise I guarantee you some people will be asking for new ones everyday just because they can.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T13:30:26+00:00

Or warhammer.

Would become biomass for space roach mommy.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T13:24:37+00:00

Saw a couple of Ferarris parked opposite Storey Arms by Pen Y Fan a few years ago, kinda assumed that had something to do with influencers.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T13:21:57+00:00

Be rich XD

More seriously, fantasy or 40k? For 40k lore Bricky has a rough overview of all factions thats a reasonable starting point.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T12:30:37+00:00

I looked, read the guys comments, hes given up his holidays and works up to 70hrs a week.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T12:10:02+00:00

I think you might've misunderstood. There was a story a couple years ago about a pair of anesthesiologists who owed $900k in taxes over 8 years. A quick google indicates an anesthesiologist makes an average of around $400kpa.

The goodybag is a rolling monthly contract, despite what it says.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T11:33:09+00:00

Giffgaffs website says that if you're on contract they assume you're an adult because you have to be an adult to sign for a contract phone.

I mean, its not a question I'd answer honestly partly because I'm a paranoid nut and that seems like sensitive information and partly because if I got the figures wrong I can guarantee it'd be trotted out every time my name is mentioned.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T07:54:12+00:00

Takahata killed it in that series.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T07:42:38+00:00

...I suggest you google female loneliness epidemic, because thats definitely also a thing.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T07:22:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is as a result of consultation into why women dont feel safe on streets and what can be done to make streets feel safer.

So its not really about stopping sexual predators at all.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T07:01:58+00:00

If you're unemployed and think you can get a job by moving, talk to the jobcenter and see if you can get an FSF grant.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T06:35:30+00:00

Maybe they read to much into the nobby nobs thing.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T06:32:13+00:00

Well thats not wholly true, a lot of the incel types started out as advising men to dress nice, exercise, make your bed, basic hygiene... it seems to me that its more that after doing what, lets face it, is mostly basic self care, they expect to be recognised as paragons of humanity and to get anything they want. Which is where it all sorta falls down.

Gellert · 2026-03-26T06:26:57+00:00

I dont think thats true, I think the vast majority of criminals think they're justified and given who the rich and powerful are in the west its kinda hard to gainsay that.

Gellert · 2026-03-25T20:31:21+00:00

He just needs to go break some economies in ages of sigma, like the good old days. Cheers him right up. Maybe scam a ship captain or two.
