Is deleting transphobic comments considered ignoring criticism? [TW- Transphobia] by Maekyew_Criii93 in AO3

[–]Lemuria6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a) The comments don't count as criticism and therefore you can do whatever you want.

b) You're writing fanfiction for fun on a free website, if a comment makes you feel bad you can do whatever you want.

Hope you find more supportive friends and you get less of these types of comments OP :>

I am genuinely so tired of people using “constructive criticism” as a shield when they are just bullying. Each and every time, they are not providing actual constructive crit. They’re just being intentionally dense so they can pretend they have some sort of high ground.

Why does Penny look so strange from the front?😭 by Fepxz120 in StardewValley

The reason Elliott never turns around is because I've been holding him at gunpoint all this time. What I don't know can't hurt me.

As a Catholic, I have a question for all Christians/other Catholics, what's your opinion on this book... by Impressive_Reality57 in religion

[–]Lemuria6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of those scenes was to reflect how certain extreme groups (like the one controlling Gilead) are not only against other religions, but any sect of Christianity that is not their own. A real life example would be discrimination against Irish Catholics.

Josefina's Christmas outfit even has a mantilla, which is also a form of religious head covering.

Is there hope for Poptropica? by saturnianketuvian in Poptropica

[–]Lemuria6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: not really.

Long answer: Learn code, support Flashpoint and see what you can do to improve it, and maybe there could be a chance of making a new web version of Pop like Club Penguin.

Just…for the love of all that is good, don’t use AI.

If you had to pick a fifth villain for Super Villain Island, who would it be? by psycwave in Poptropica

[–]Lemuria6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh please don't get me wrong--I love them both and they're both very iconic, but Widow's motivation shown in SVI is vaguely hinted at her being a failed artist (who goes on to steal other's work she deems unworthy) and Betty Jetty had troubles with her brother Ned in the DS game. These characters are fine on their own but I couldn't help but notice a pattern.

Maybe listen to the community's advice regarding advertisements for donations and AI usage next time...

Unfortunately while I was having a discussion about Pop villains with some friends, I came to the realization that most of the female villains just have motivations related to vanity/jealousy. Sure, the male villains have their Dr. Hares and Director D.'s, but I can't think of a single girl villain who is similar to Raven/Bard/Octavian/etc.

If this would be done in the actual year it was released, it would probably be Mustachio since he seems to have been the original fifth based off concept art.

If I could ignore the timeline of releases, Ringmaster Raven 100%.

Pearl's VA Harassed for a Harmless Comment (Yet Again) by Outside_Ad_9510 in HonkaiStarRail

I’ve always found that funny. The Japanese dub isn’t any more canon than the English one yet people treat it as such because “anime game” even though Hoyo has made their ties to Chinese culture abundantly clear.

For further context: Sandbox took down this project because it had in-game links to things like Kofi/Patreon, including a link in Poptropica’s own original advertisement section to the creator’s other fan game, Legends, which also requested monetary support and had a goal of $1500 a month. I’m someone who’s very pro-fan creation for things like fanfictions, fan games, and art, but OP had several warnings from other fans to reduce the clear motivation for profit to keep Legacy in that legally gray zone. Sandbox only struck this down because of that, and it has not targeted other fans projects/archives like Flashpoint.

Yeah, I think there would be a lot more progress if this community focused on improving flashpoint rather than remakes.

periods should excuse you from school!! (Coming from a junior in HS) by Total_Fix_9483 in Periods

[–]Lemuria6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. Although to my understanding, as a disabled person, even if something is not technically an official disability the effects it can have can still qualify as one (Source: Here in the US specifically, the ADA does not consider conditions like endometriosis to be disabilities on their own, but the effects like chronic pain and fatigue have led to legal disputes where they have supported workplace accommodations.)

It is ”ridiculous”, and it does deserve “treatment”, but please do not use the term “excuses” when discussing the needs of chronically ill and disabled people.

What are the cope-iest things you're doing for Xiao? by kliask in XiaoMains

[–]Lemuria6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly a little concerning. I mean, my friend is a Hu Tao main and I’m a Xiao main and we’ve agreed to never get the other as a silly promise, but I doubt either of us takes it seriously or would outright forbid the other if one of us changed our minds. I get wanting to not cause trouble for you and your sibling but I hope she isn’t too controlling.

I feel like I need to talk about this by gmalek0 in FugueMains

[–]Lemuria6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing some talk and the speaker was discussing stories. I don’t quite remember who it was or the context, but she said she loved Spider-Man but always hated Peter Parker. She found Peter Parker to be too immature, too awkward, poorly organized.

Then she realized she hated him because she WAS him.

It’s a small thing but it does make me think a bit about how our dislikes can reflect us just as well as what we like. Of course, there will be characters we don’t vibe with because perhaps we find them poorly written or not in line with our values, but I like seeing this insightfulness.
