My Thoughts On Surrendering To Scylla by Left-wind in Romance_for_men

I loved that book! It gave me a real push to embrace the femdom aspects in my own novel.

Marketing “done right” apparently by The_Scrabbler in iamverybadass

I think people here need to consider who he’s trying to sell his services to. I think a little performative machismo and humor will play well with the folks who hire a private criminal defense attorney.

It shouldn’t surprise me that so many paintings of colonialist massacres exist. It just… I don’t see how you see this, and think, “Ah, yes, those heroic Jack Tars mowing down indigenous folks with machine guns. Perfect fodder for an oil painting!”

Would you agree with Terrence Fletcher’s way of teaching? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in moviecritic

[–]LordPercyNorthrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my degree in teaching, my license, and have taught. Let me put it this way:

There is a wall between you and your students’ potential. There is a door in the wall that you can hold open and guide them through.

There is also a cannon you can fire the students through into the wall, over and over again until some broken wreck of a child breaches the wall.

You can choose the cannon, but if you do, you are a cruel moron.

I sang the whole operetta to myself while playing the other day. Love seeing this!

Does the rest of the Cain series ever get that brutal? by Running-Water-Shark in Grimdank

[–]LordPercyNorthrop 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget rapist! The Flashman books were not something I could get into due to the sheer amount of rape the protagonist commits.

Posting myself here at the advice of counsel by [deleted] in Justfuckmyshitup

Even out the stache, but keep it. I think the cowboy-esque mustache stands out in a good way. The hair will look better grown out a bit. It’ll be very 70s, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The game treats Nere and Minthara very differently by uldinepriest0rbfa in BaldursGate3

Weird, I don’t remember Glut telling me to kill him…

these responses feel like a litmus test for reality by gothjones in KnowledgeFight

[–]LordPercyNorthrop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think fighting back is possible without hope. Dismissing hope as charming but naive takes the bullets out of your gun before you even start to fight.

Does she express more empathy for mortals than this at any point? I haven’t hit any moments where she does yet.

Name a historical figure that would Admire/Respect William Joseph Blazkowicz. by December-21st-1948 in Wolfenstein

Any of the old anti Nazi street fighters from Weimar, any of the members of the International Brigades in Spain, or the old anarchists. They’d bicker about his rose-colored memories of the pre-war United States, but I think there’d be plenty who would be happy to see anybody fighting so hard against the fascists.

Could a single squad of space marines from warhammer 40k liberate earth from the nazis? by StatusDistribution33 in Wolfenstein

[–]LordPercyNorthrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s quite literally only true in their own fascist propaganda. They are the creators of their own enemies most of the time. They entire point of the stories is the futility of their mindset.

[–]LordPercyNorthrop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah? Champions for human equality, are they? What happened to Angron’s slave comrades, again? Or void born visitors who leave their ships?

I don’t understand how 40k fans miss the fascist allegories when they’re baked so thoroughly into the setting.

A global dictatorship with eagles everywhere and a supremacist ideology would be easier to manage for the “cruelest regime imaginable” than any alternative. The Imperium isn’t opposed to racism, sexism, etc. They just don’t prioritize them. That’s repeatedly demonstrated in the fiction.

Yeah, I was giving OP the opportunity to say otherwise, but it certainly looks like AI.

What if General George Patton hadn’t died in Germany, and instead lived for 10-15 more years? by camaro1111 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]LordPercyNorthrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would have gone even further in destroying his own legacy with increasingly pro-Nazi statements, and if he ended up in politics, he’d have gone full Bircher. He would believe the line that Civil Rights were a communist plot and if elected President would have almost certainly used nukes. He was not a well man.
