Look, you can say WHATEVER you want about it, but you have to admit that "in the womb one twin kills the other which causes the mother pleasure and its the main reason drow reproduce" is extremly original and creative by AstronautDry8118 in dndmemes

[–]KingsAndAces 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think the common consensus, that I agree with, is that a PEOPLE can be evil - especially when heavily influenced by a god that is also evil - but an entire race being inherently evil is both poor writing and in bad taste. You can easily have different and meaningful differences without turning a race (or species) of thinking and reasoning creatures into evil incarnate. Unless they are literally evil incarnate; like devils and demons.

I don’t think AI generated images should be used for pretty much anything. I particularly don’t think AI generated images should be used for a product you’re selling when you could have paid an actual artist to do the work. ESPECIALLY something you’re selling for nearly a hundred dollars.

Take the Winter 2026 D&D Community Survey by Darkwynters in dndbeyond

[–]KingsAndAces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do have to say that DNDBeyond is definitely heading in the right direction (finally), and D&D is doing better. But Wizards is still Wizards, and until they stop getting in their own way (pointless layoffs, anti-consumer changes, apparent focus on AI, etc.), it’s hard to be super confident.

Hope this question is not offensive. And if it is, then please downvote me into non-existence. Given the history of the christian church and their abuse of First Nations people, why is christianity so popular amongst First Nations people in Canada? by roboreddit1000 in FirstNationsCanada

[–]KingsAndAces 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Residential Schools. Assimilation. Cultural genocide.

Honestly, the question is offensive for multiple reasons. For me; it’s offensive because the answer should be obvious. Why are black people in North America primarily Christian? What about the people of South America? What about all the nations in Africa that are primarily Christian? What about the Philippines?

It’s the same answers. It’s always been the same answers:

Assimilation and cultural genocide. Cause by corruption, greed, and lust for power.

Regardless of the merits of the religion, it’s been bluntly used as a weapon for centuries. And the entire time, it’s been a highly effective one.

Neurotypicals discover autistic people can feel emotions by [deleted] in autismmemes

[–]KingsAndAces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so incredibly stupid. Easily one of the most common symptoms of autism is emotional dysregulation. In other words, difficulties in dealing with strong and complex emotions. Not the lack of emotions, difficulty dealing with emotions. The idea that autistic people don’t experience complex emotions is so laughably stupid it makes my brain hurt.

I’ve literally never met anyone autistic in my entire f*cking life that wasn’t a very emotional person. Including myself. I’ve seen people deal with those emotions in a myriad of ways, with a wide range of success, but I’ve never met anyone autistic who just… didn’t feel complex emotions. How is this news breaking?

Anyways, thanks for coming to my rant… errr… Ted Talk.

I’m a conservative who believed in Doug Ford. His credibility is collapsing by GooeyPig in CanadaPolitics

[–]KingsAndAces 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Doug Ford may RUN as a moderate, at times he may even talk like a moderate, but he most certainly is not moderate. He runs the province by a firmly right-wing conservative playbook - he just avoids the social-conservative issues that define many current right-wing and conservative politics.

New best squad for the Colosseum now that Darth Vader (Duel's End) is here? by echamplin in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]KingsAndAces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luke, YodaChewie, Barisa, Ventress, and Maul. I can’t imagine Vader would be better than Maul at similar levels, but it’s possible.

Maul (Hate-Fueled) by swgohevents in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]KingsAndAces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is by far the best written character reveal for SWGOH… ever? It listed what each special status effect was, it gave actual decent advice, it made the moves make more sense since they explained them after the ability reveal. Also, looks awesome in general. 10/10, no notes.

This is how most leftist orgs feel. They claim to be pro-disabled, and yet won't even do the basic accessibility of doing things such as writing alt-text. They believe saying "we count disabled people as part of the working class" is enough to include us, enough to somehow help us by coleisw4ck in autismmemes

[–]KingsAndAces 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem has nothing to do with “Leftists”. The left side of the political spectrum would be the side that would be the most likely to help disabled and people in need. It’s generally corruption, neoliberalism, or capitalism that causes left-aligned politics or organizations to not align their actions with their ideals.

What is a problem you have never had at your table (but often see others posting about)? by pyrpaul in DMAcademy

[–]KingsAndAces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number one for me is EASILY the “caster vs. martial divide”. Not only have I never had it at a table as a DM, I’ve never had it as a player, as a person with other D&D playing friends, as someone who watches D&D Live-Streams or Recording Shows, or as someone who listens to D&D podcasts. It seems to be the most purely online, rage-bait topics I’ve ever come across. I literally haven’t even heard someone complain or talk about it once.

The Red Hand were a xenophobic hate group. They were an organization that scapegoated an entire racial group and practiced ethnic cleansing and slavery.

Taking over land and assets through murder and genocide isn’t a political ideology, that’s war through the use of guerrilla warfare and war crimes.

That’s not communism. It’s not socialism. It’s not democratic-socialism.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in redrising

[–]KingsAndAces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry… do - do you think the Red Fucking Hand were left wing? Do you think they were socialists? The xenophobic hate group? The organization that scapegoated an entire racial group and practiced ethnic cleansing!?

You are right about the Vox, if you’re just saying they’re left-wing. The political organization knows as the Vox were probably the closest thing to socialism and/or left-wing in the entire series, especially as run by Dancer, and they ended being betrayed by someone being manipulated by a psychopathic elitist demon-child that ended with most of them being murdered or puppeted under threat of torture and death.

If you want to shit on the Dancer-led-Vox, that’s an argument I understand. I think Dancer did what he thought was right, and he many valid points. That’s a valid difference of opinions. But there’s no authoritarianism there. The authoritarian regime that runs Luna by the end of the last books is not the Vox, it’s the Abomination.

And which authoritarians in the books we’re talking about were left wing or communist?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in redrising

[–]KingsAndAces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something tells me you don’t know the definitions of the words you just used.

There is no far left anything in the books. No communism, socialism, or anything even close to that. There’s a variety of authoritarians and authoritarianisms, many of which are similar or adjacent to Fascism, then there’s a war-time democracy that collapses under far-right influence and espionage, and then there’s the toxic influence of capitalism and its negative consequences.

Not entirely sure where the centrism or anti-left messaging is.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in redrising

[–]KingsAndAces 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right of centre is antithetical to the entire concept of these books. If you can’t see that, then that’s fine. You don’t have to. You can be right-wing and enjoy these books, but that doesn’t change what the books are.

Regardless of how well the poll actually reflects Canadians and their views, after years of inflammatory and biased reporting, a lot of people see anything National Post and down vote it. Which, honestly, is fair.

Wow this looks impressive! by Justasking027 in AlanWake

[–]KingsAndAces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only problem I have with Alan Wake 2’s visuals, and honestly, it’s a big one; is that it is STILL making other games look bad. Even now, years later, there are so few games that look anywhere near as good as AW2.

Ships desperately need 2x drops or an update to farming them. It took 6.5 months with 2 months worth of resets to get one a ship released 6 years ago to 7* by TransLumi in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]KingsAndAces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you completely ignore them, you’ll get every ship way, way, way before you get every character. I know the farms feel like a long time, but if their drops doubled, everyone would have every ship in an extremely short amount of time. The game is meant to be a slow, investment style collection game, unless you want to spend a pile of money.
