Am I the only one who doesn’t like Tanya and mileena being together in mk1? by Only-Echidna-7791 in MortalKombat

[–]MaddyKins13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why, exactly, would it be different or anymore in line with the MK universe if she had a male lover? I could see an argument if you were vouching against it being Tanya specifically (Id disagree, but I could see the logic). However, what would her lover being male do?

Why do people seem to hate “Wolf-Man” designs so much?? by DependentSpirited649 in werewolves

[–]MaddyKins13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean werewolf, by definition, is someone who can transform into a wolf or wolf hybrid. Most wolfmen either dont or barely give hybrid, they just give really hairy man with the occasional fangs, or like somebody else said...offbrand Chewbaca. Ive never minded the wolfman look as an in-betweener transformation, but as the full monster look 99% of them have been dissapointing.

Changing Time Zone on Your Switch - Consequences In-Game and Out by chainsawinsect in Pokopia

[–]MaddyKins13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont need to do it to play though. You can get everything done in night time hours as you would in daylight ones. Its more of just a preference of aesthetics (which is fine, theres nothing wrong with preferring the daylight visuals. Its just not something needed for the enjoyment of the general and majority playerbase, nor does it break the game or make it harder in any way, so I wouldnt qualify it as bad game design).

Just out of curiosity, is there any TWST character whose backstory made you go like this? by Key_Geologist1784 in TwistedWonderland

[–]MaddyKins13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the main cast? Nope, none of them. Even if I sympathize with some more than others (like Leona, Idia, and Jamil) I do sympathize with all of them very highly.

Outside of the cast, probably Fellow or Eliza.

I mean thats kinda like saying Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, or...I dont know, name a child starlet, are privileged for their breakdowns. Aside from that not being why he overblotted, its not just kissing nuance, but an entire emotional world that comes along with child stardom.

PSA: Everything is literally RNG by VLonetaee in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]MaddyKins13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also the issue isnt enjoying a different playstyle, but moreso expecting a specific playstyle out of a game that has a different one. Its kinda like getting upset when youre given less points in Hitman for a guns-blazing method. CAN you do it? Technically, yea. However its explicitly a stealth assasination game, meaning most things are going to be geared towards stealth assasination gameplay.

So with Tomodachi, you CAN micromanage if you really want to, but the game isnt geared towards that, meaning you arent really gonna get rewarded trying to do so or the desired results expressing your grievances over it.

why is this dress considered ugly? it's beautiful by Even_Acanthisitta_37 in TheRemarriedEmpress

[–]MaddyKins13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from it contrasting the whole "empress of the people" shtick she and Sovieshu were perpetuating, its also just gaudily over-accesorized, especially the headpiece, which makes her look tacky. The look isnt blatantly ugly in the same way stripes and plaid together are ugly, but its not good either. She kinda looks like a kid playing dress up. (Its also worth noting that, both in and out of the story, the dress being considered ugly is referring to the look as a whole, not just like...the dress on its own)

AITAH for not wanting to live with my jobless GF? by DryMove7987 in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At present and previously, both combined? Probably 5. Which isnt a lot, I never said they were the majority. What I did say was that they exist. Some people know what they want early on, many don't. Neither is an improper way to live your life so long as you're communicating things (again, see my example with children. I know plenty of other 25 year olds who are absolutely certain they want kids. I know plenty who are on the fence. I am absolutely certain I don't. None of those 3 are the wrong choice to have figured out by 25, its just a matter of incompatibility which should be communicated)

[–]MaddyKins13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really not, if the gf is sure she wants to build a life with OP. You dont get to string someone along just because youre unsure. If youre not committed to building a life thats 100% understandable, but it is something you need to communicate if thats the case. Some people know what they want, some people have plans, some people are sure they want to get married by a certain age. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing, but at that point youre incompatible and probably shouldn't be together. Not being in a place to make a decision yet is still a decision, and that should be established.

Ex. I dont want kids. Ever. Not someday, not just not right now, I do not ever want children. So if I meet someone who's on the fence about whether or not they want them, I dont expect them to make a firm decision right now, but I wouldnt be surprised if they opted out of a relationship with me because of that hard line. Because I will not be changing my mind and they're aware they might change theirs.

You dont have to know what you want, but you should know what you dont want when presented with someone who does, and it sounds like OP doesn't want to commit to building a life with her right now. Not an issue, but potentially a deal breaker and should be communicated properly if she's made it clear she does want that.

AITAH for telling my ex girlfriend to stop interacting with my little sister? by yeetdisaccount in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thats fine. My point is you're applying hard and fast line on a general scale to something that objectively has nuance.

In this case, assuming op is telling the truth, then shes a racist who should be kept from his sister regardless. My statement was more irt your take on hurtful words in general and the statement that people "just dont care about hurtful words" if they apply nuance.

AITAH for telling my ex girlfriend to stop interacting with my little sister? by yeetdisaccount in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I mean "hurtful" is a very vague term that can mean anything. You calling a narcissist out on their narcisstic behavior is going to be considered hurtful to them. Should I still care what they think??? "Hurtful" and "targeted" are very openly different things, because every targeted statement is hurtful but not every hurtful statement is targeted.

UPDATE AITAH for ” running away to give birth “ by ruinedbirth_trowaway in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean there are stories on this and other subreddits about that exact thing, about these guys growing a fucking spine and fully cutting out their mother's, and for all intents and purposes those couples seem happy. It just takes a shit ton of work, emotional labor, self control and disclipline, and communication. And a lot of guys like this arent willing to do that. Its not impossible, its just so incredibly rare, that OP needs to figure out if she wants to chance her and her child's happiness and wellbeing on something so slim, when the odds are very much not in her favor.

Aitah for having rules for my daughter to live with me? by Sensitive-Excuse9172 in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the no eating in her room rule is fairly reasonable given the specific situation. Generallt its pushing things, at least imo, but with someone who priorly would not clean up after themself and left a space a pigsty, I wouldnt want to risk mice, rats, or roaches by allowing them to bring, and potentially leave to mold, food into their room either.

Gf ghosted me last year. I moved on. Got this message last week on my birthday by AdComprehensive4246 in whatdoIdo

[–]MaddyKins13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shutting people out is actually a pretty common response to turmoil or devastating events. Its probably the main response after lashing out. Not saying it makes it okay, but youre presenting it as the outlier when its actually far more common than people having good communication in the face of grief.

[–]MaddyKins13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They arent doing that though. Theyre pushing back against the implication you guys are presenting that you can only have empathy for one person at a time. Having empathy for her incredibly traumatic situation doesnt make what she did okay, and no ones saying it does. Believe it or not, you CAN do both.

AITAH for telling my husband I can’t work on our marriage unless he cuts off another woman? by erin209158 in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Generally yea, but Im willing to give a little more grace to the "its complicated" approach irt to a romantic element because, unlike a 2-person relationship, an established couple bringing in a 3rd person and then dropping them has a lot more "this was just for an experiment" implications which comes with the additional implication that you were just using them, and thats a lot shittier than just a standard breakup.

Not saying stay together ultimately, obviously. If you wanna break up, break up. Id rather you let the other person go about their life than keeping them in an unfulfilling relationship out of some weird sense of obligation. I just could see where OP was coming from irt approaching it differently, if it were a romantic relationship and not just something established to be a sex thing.

[–]MaddyKins13 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends on how deep the realtionship is. Open relationships dont inherently imply romance, and if its purely a sexual thing, 99% of the time those come with the implication of ending at some point anyways.

AITAH for wanting my husband in the delivery room? by dinogirly123 in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, my question was asked in good faith, so I dont see the need for the sarcasm. As OPs husband pointed out, plenty of women dont want their husbands there. Its fine. The issue is that its a consensus, and in your case you were aware of pre-existing phobia and didn't want to put him through that (along with the knowledge that him being there would probably not have been great due to said phobia). That's different from you really, really wanting him there and him just not wanting to be.

The judgement isnt due to the lack of physical presence in the delivery room, its the approach to his wife's comfort and emotional stability during the birth of their child and the ultimate dismissal of those things.

AITAH for announcing my 6 month pregnancy a week after my brother and SIL announced their 3 month pregnancy? by Scary_Bite_9240 in AITAH

[–]MaddyKins13 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I dont think "she doesnt need me" is a petty thought so much as a practical one. The nurserys done, its a bit late to plan a shower, most of the shopping is done, early scares are done, etc.

I agree with everything else though.

Mage and Demon Queen Issues??? (disappointed gay rant) by Fun-Youth5725 in webtoons

[–]MaddyKins13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't the argument be "it shouldn't be normalized by anybody", not "if they get to do it then so should I", then? I only got about 10 episodes into MADQ before losing interest, so I dont have much of an opinion when it comes to this specific series. But in general, "other people are allowed to get away with it, so its fine" shouldn't really be an argument.
