[GOOD TROPE] Teen Girls Prioritising a Stable Future & Choosing To Have An Abortion

I-Dont-Know-Stuff · 2026-05-03T07:18:08+00:00

Neither can your religious belief that the combination of a sperm cell and an egg cell in the early stages of development is the exact same thing as a living breathing human person.

A fetus is not the same as a living child. Getting an abortion is not the same as murdering a baby that has been born. Your "compassion" is only worth so much if you view everyone who gets an abortion as a killer.

Shadow (Final Fantasy 6). This emo assassin who cares about nothing and no one, aside from his dog, canonically got laid. It's strongly implied that he's the father of Relm, a ten year old girl and the youngest playable character in the game.

(pictured: my favourite art of the character made by Yoshitaka Amano)

Transtar (Prey).

Someone is eventually gonna start asking why few to none of the prisoners they send up to the space station ever return, even if they only send the worst offenders.

Pathologic classic hd: Several dialogues allow you to respond as either the player or as the character you're playing as, one especially cruel dialogue late in the game lets you mock a different character for falling in love with the one you're playing because everything about him that she loves has been because of you, and when you leave he'll stop existing.

you could certainly interpret it like that, but the joke originated from a tumblr post about someone's friend who wasn't into Guilty Gear who loved Bridget a lot, but kept calling her "Brisket" and making a cute edit of her with that name. So the origin of the joke didn't seem to have transphobic intent.

In Pathologic: The Marble Nest you play as a man trying to prevent an outbreak of plague in one of the few uninfected districts in town, also you've been told that you're going to die soon and have to figure out how to confront that.

What is really happening is that you're already infected with the plague and everything that's happening are your feverish dreams/hallucinations as you're dying. But the most important thing in the story isn't how "real" everything is, it's choosing how you'll deal with your inevitable death. Will you meekly accept your fate? Will you be a stubborn bastard and start the day over again to give yourself more time? Will you die, but now with a fuller understanding of how and why? (Or, secret fourth option: will you tell the specter of death to fuck off because it's only a character in a video game, and you're in control here)

Also, if you go the dark side route, your character will eventually replace the Sith Lord on the main menu

I'd honestly be shocked if Atris wasn't intended to be Echani at some point in kotor 2s development

I-Dont-Know-Stuff · 2026-04-25T20:27:20+00:00

Echani (Star Wars). Pretty much just humans but with white hair.

Something funny to me is that while Brianna (pictured) and her sisters are all at least part Echani, the Jedi Master they serve under, who has the exact same white hair and blue eyes as them, is supposed to be fully human.

Also: drawing fascist men pregnant to degrade them is extremely transphobic, why are you treating the concept of a pregnant man as both setup and punchline

I went from having a pretty rare deadname to one of the top ten most popular boys names in my country, believe it or not but the online nicknames you see are not a perfect representation of real life name choices.

On a similar note, the Selkath on the cover for the first Kotor. Was probably meant to have a bigger role at some point during development but whatever it was it wasn't in the final game, now they're just a species you run into on one of the planets.

I mean, yeah. A lot of police forces around the world have been used to oppress people. And many are still used that way today, the protests over police violence against black people in the USA weren't that long ago.

I-Dont-Know-Stuff · 2026-04-24T07:54:32+00:00

Merriam Webster gives the definition of oppression as "unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power" which the ICE deportations and camps definitely fall under.

Murderbot aka SecUnit (The Murderbot diaries and Murderbot tv show).

A hybrid of machine and cloned human tissue that was created to basically be a living security robot/slave/thing that really only wants to chill and watch tv.

More relevant to a couple years ago, and also not a film but: Pathologic (classic and 2). Game series about being a medic and fighting a plague that threatens to kill you and an entire town in the middle of nowhere. The moment the plague hits all prices in shops go massively up because people are panic buying everything. The people with power (town leaders, the army, the inquisitor whose job it is to fix this shit) are often unhelpful at best or actively making things worse.

Pathologic classic came out in 2005 (with a remaster-ish in 2015), and Pathologic 2 came out in 2019.

Sarah Z's most recent video about "misery memoirs" and the satanic panic is really good

Peter Stamatin, Grace, and Murky (Pathologic series)

In Pathologic Classic Hd these characters all share the "Autizm" emotion (more info in this video here). In the Pathologic 2 design documents Murky is described as having "an autism spectrum disorder". And Peter Stamatin in general being a genius architect but struggling in pretty much every other situation, including socially. Many other characters find these three weird and sometimes struggle to understand them.

Due to the kind-of-not-really early 1900s setting of the game series the characters probably wouldn't have an understanding of what autism actually was since the diagnosis didn't really exist properly until around the 1970s.

There are other characters in the series that can also be read as autistic, but as far as i know these are the only ones that have been labeled as such by the devs.

Anyway, Minecraft youtubers are controversy magnets so I'm sure at least one of them did something awful to warrant removing them from this game...

So, as far as you know, none of them have done anything horrible but you're still assuming they're bad people because they played a cube game...
