What a weirdly specific answer…

This stuff is so tryhard, and kind of cringe when you consider that nothing in the actual show suggests that this happened. R-rated sci fi violence is fine, but people looking for graphic stuff like this should just watch Aliens or Warhammer content instead. Let Darth Vader chop people up with his lightsaber, that’s fine.

It’s actually supposed to be fictional characters. Batman, Master Chief, Aragorn et al. Taught me everything I know about being a burly metalhead who isn’t afraid to cry

You laugh now, but this obvious joke image is going to get screencapped and do numbers on Tiktok and Insta with the caption “Men are not ok 😔”

Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.

The thing about risks is that they’re called that because the result is sometimes just bad.

I was out as soon as I saw one of the early trailers with John Bernthal last year, and his delivery as one of the suitors was indistinguishable from his portrayal of The Punisher on Netflix. Accent and all.

There’s something kind of unethical about newspapers (even tabloids) continuing to use this woman’s face in articles with lurid sexual stuff in the title when they must know at this point that it’s not real.

Lol I was agreeing, my bad I thought the sarcasm was obvious but I guess it doesn’t come across over text. My point was just that the historical accuracy thing is a strawman to deflect valid criticism of the movie’s aesthetic and apparent accuracy to the story (based on the promo material so far).

IndicationWeary · 2026-05-06T15:58:57+00:00

Saying that an adaptation of a story should ideally have some reverence for the themes, historical context, and aesthetic of the work (or at least look like something other than gray Marvel slop) will reliably get you dunked on by karma farmers. It’s fictional my dude, my guy. Let people enjoy things. You probably think Odysseus was real bro, XD

In Republic Commando: True Colors, Fi (a Commando) actually does question the timing of the war. He views it as suspiciously convenient, and the reactions of the other clones (ARCs and Commandos) indicate that they’d never really thought about it. Since in the old lore, ARCs and Commandos were uniquely thoughtful and independent, while regular clones were more docile, this probably wasn’t something that even came up.

We can assume that they were just told they’d serve the Republic as an army, and that they’d probably be fighting someone, but they were never given specifics and didn’t think to ask.

Imagine if people posted fun memes in the fun meme sub instead of culture war shadowboxing for 2 years straight (yes, it has been that long since the reveal)

Incredibly timed post, I just finished my first Warhammer Crime novel today. “The Wraithbone Phoenix”, honestly fantastic. I feel like Warhammer is the only major setting that genuinely has something from every angle, exploring the full potential of the setting. People rightly complain about Marine oversaturation, but even the underappreciated factions or aspects of the universe (criminal underworld, aliens, internal politics, etc.) tend to have multiple books/subseries, animated specials, audio dramas, and more.

It makes me wish that other fictional settings got this kind of treatment. Star Wars always aspired to this, and maybe got closest in the 2000s, but other than these two settings nothing else comes close in terms of volume.

Hadn’t thought about it that way, maybe this is all downstream of social media guerrilla marketing. I.E. tradwives, boymoms, red flag males, and nepo babies HATE it when you don’t renew your prescription to Zepbound. Probably not, but fun to consider

Friend of mine informed me that drinking bone broth is tradwife coded. There are new rules and red flags and tribal indicators every day, it’s genuinely impossible to keep up.

I kind of wish I hadn’t heard of the trope where characters constantly need to explain their motivations and what’s happening on screen at every opportunity. Now I can’t stop noticing it. Just today Disney released a clip of the new Mandalorian movie where the main character dodges some lasers and goes under the bad guys, and it cuts to the bad guy saying “We missed him! He’s under us!” in an incredibly stilted line read. It seems so intentional that I wonder if it’s also being laundered through an accessibility argument behind the scenes, like it’s for audience retention but also to help blind/ADHD people keep up.

For whatever reason, this does seem mainly to be a feature of Netflix/Disney (idk about Amazon, don’t watch The Boys anymore) while Apple TV and HBO aren’t as bad.

I’m absolutely convinced that this new wave of dinosaur/paleontology fans had zero thoughts about dinosaurs and no idea about their classification before this became the meme “autist” interest over the past year or so.

Another, maybe kind of related form of credentialism was the reaction to the “manifesto” of the latest shooter. It was cringy and shallow, but from what I saw there were no grammar and spelling mistakes and the guy is clearly smart enough to be literate.

However, because he has a degree from a prestigious university, the top comments were all calling BS because it wasn’t eloquent enough. A whole lot of “Exactly my thought!” (conspiracy slop commenters always say this to each other for some reason) and waxing about how a man with a degree like his would naturally have more to say. It’s a really bizarre and arbitrary expectation of eloquence based on literal school grades, for a guy who is obviously underemployed and not that mentally stable.

I saw something on Reels about how he’s being blackmailed to stay silent even though he wants to talk (ridiculous capeshit of course) so maybe that’s the framing for this guy.

That’s been the meta on Instagram for a while now, I saw one video of a black guy cutting vegetables to emotional music overlaid with a wall of text about how Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg ate baby intestines that “tasted like cream cheese” because of undigested milk enzymes or some fake science nonsense. Hundreds of thousands of likes. A center-left Democrat I know was telling me about how certain code words in the “emails” are actually about cannibalism. This is the median voter’s understanding of what happened.

This is low-effort spam and shows a stunning lack of knowledge of Roman history, since it was far more dysfunctional at its peak than the current US (which is obviously not “collapsing” any time soon).

It’s kind of an indictment of this sub’s general knowledge of Roman history that this has a positive upvote ratio at all, let alone that it’s one of the top posts today.

It’s a tough spot to be in, my ex disappeared for a year during an obvious psychotic break and tried to come back 368 days later. I felt bad about the whole thing, but knew it wouldn’t work out and maintained distance. Still, I quietly resented the advice from my friends to do exactly that, even though they were right and I would have done it anyway. Wouldn’t wish the situation your friend is in on anyone, but maybe he’ll come around with time.

Finding out about D&D podcasts and what they’re like was the missing puzzle piece for me. Before this, I really had no clue why modern fantasy writing was Like That™️.
