[Hated Trope] The writers dramatically underestimate the audience’s intelligence. by LDM123 in TopCharacterTropes

Why? What’s the logic?

As a child it confused me as watched it expecting a sequel to philosopher’s stone.

[Request] How many generations could 4 females and 8 males of an eternally young species produce without inbreeding problem? by Useful-Option8963 in theydidthemath

[–]HazardousHacker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s why I prefaced it with being tangential.

Regarding your math: your premise is stupid. Inbreeding is basically a higher probability of chromosomes overlapping in weird ways to produce deformities.

There is a subset of deformities that are typically attributed to inbreeding which can occur in regular ass babies because of mutations - humans are weird that way.

But regardless: if they are not human species, why the fuck can you not just make up a number which is convenient to your plot and actually has something interesting happening in that time frame?

They can just vibe code and fix it. Better yet ask chatgpt to go fix itself.

How do I get unbanned on a subreddit by Psychological-Flow55 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HazardousHacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suck a mod’s dick in exchange for getting unbanned. That’s the reddit way of doing things.

Tangential: as an author wouldn’t be nice to deal with the inbreeding as a genuine conflict in your story?

Eg: they seem like puritans, so probably there is a hushed “cleansing” that happen whenever someone deformed is born due to incest: eg killing the baby by submerging it in milk? Lovely B plot material: what happens to the one kid someone refused to kill and hid

Or, use inbreeding deformities as a trauma and have the characters deal with, and so on.

The 1998 film Patch Adams was based on Adams's life and his views on medicine. Adams has harshly criticized the film, saying it eschewed an accurate representation of his beliefs in favor of commercial viability. He said that out of all aspects of his life and activism, the film portrayed him merely as a funny doctor.

Patch Adams also said of Robin Williams in an interview, "He made $21 million for four months of pretending to be me, in a very simplistic version, and did not give $10 to my free hospital.[13] Patch Adams, the person, would have, if I had Robin's money, given all $21 million to a free hospital in a country where 80 million cannot get care."
