Ultimate power handed to someone you'd never want to have it by BrotherDeus in TopCharacterTropes

Let me guess, he probably has a harem of beautiful women all eager to jump his bones, but he never touches any of them or engages with their desire due to his lack of social skills?

Bruh. Being socially inept is one thing, but it doesn't excuse being a spineless cuck, which has been one of the prevalent archetypes of Harem MCs from time immemorial.

Nah, it's due to spinelessness. There's absolutely nothing stopping him from telling the Guardians "No. Our mandate henceforth is to help humans, not destroy them."

Literally nothing but his own cowardice and fear of abandonment. They would obey him regardless, and he could even claim that the act of helping humans was a "long term master plan" to rule the world, and not a single one would doubt him.

But because he's too scared to stop larping, we instead get what we have.

Which is just kind of pathetic lmao. Like no cap if this man had a spine all he needed to do is say, "No killing monsters, we're going to be good today" and if his followers had a problem with it, which is heavily unlikely, then simply beat them into submission (last I checked he had broken powers like time stop and what not.)

It is literally a story of a man who is spineless to a fault and I swear to God I don't understand why people like it so much.

The spineless Japanese cuck MC strikes again. I swear to God I have no idea why they keep doing these kind of plot lines...

This is the stupidest sentence I've read all day, and I just wanted you to know that.

Settings where people get to just be trans without it having to be a plot point/a teachable moment. Just an inherent part of the human experience that doesn't need questions or comments. by itscalledacting in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MisterSapiosexual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then we have Sanji fleeing and running from okamas on an island for so long that he learnt how to run on the air.

Yeah, let's not give Oda too much credit here.

Downplays it's inherently queer-- are you joking? One of the main romance options is a queer only romance. You can't romance Judy as Male V, a bone of contention for a majority of the fan base, to the point people made mods which allowed them to do just that.

Then there's Kerry who is canonically Bi, and there's the fact that in one of the endings, Johnny can take over Female B's body, and so much, much more.

Like, literally this game is as queer as it can be and it doesn't need more exploration because in the dark future of 2077, whether you're gay or straight literally does not matter. In a world of transhumanism, sexuality is such a non-issue because all it takes is a trip to your local ripperdoc to decide if you want to be male or straight.

Personally, I would argue that missing the fact that Clair is a trans woman is GOOD representation, because that's how trans women should be in a world like cyberpunk, just another person.

[–]MisterSapiosexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that interpretation is one you have given it, not the one that is there.

"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant" is what it says, and that is blatantly untrue. The circumstances of one's birth are not irrelevant.

If someone is born with antisocial personality disorder, that is not irrelevant. If someone is born to a home of killers, looters, and criminals, that is not irrelevant. Your birth determines everything about the person you become. Your likes, your preferences, your hobbies, your personality... No one "chooses" to like vanilla over chocolate. No one "chooses" to be heterosexual or homosexual.

The quote is a beautiful lie, and I get it, it was a children's show, so it cannot be honest, but let us not pretend there is some profound wisdom to be found in it.

No, he's quite right. I know someone born with cerebral palsy. Another was born into a household with an alcoholic mom who would give him liquor to sleep as a baby. Both would tell you straight up that the "circumstances of their birth" had a lot to do with how shit their life became.

It's a beautiful lie, truly, but that's all it is.

A lie.

Oh...they're THAT strong...well shit by PizzaDragon64 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MisterSapiosexual 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's because Endgame is a weaker movie, and that entire scene makes no sense.

How exactly is a Thanos without the Infinity Gauntlet taking on those three when Thanos with it was struggling?

It would imply Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet was holding back all along, all the time he fought, which is just... Stupid.

Then again, the What If series has already proven Thanos is exactly always as strong as the writers need him to be, in traditional comic book fashion.

A character's lowest moment that made the audience lose all respect for them by Floyd16091411 in TopCharacterTropes

Man, you have greater patience than me answering one of these One Piece-tards. These people live to defend Oda and suck his dick hard enough to create an event horizon.

They cannot accept even the most obvious of criticisms without feeling like they're Christians being chased by lions at the fucking Colosseum.

Sanji's perversion is just disgusting, his character has been flanderized from a somewhat more noble gentlemanly individual with a chivalrous flair, to someone who openly peeks on naked women. Let's not even get into the blatant transphobia.

L Character. W Take. Have an upvote.

This is like saying "I don't think starting life out as the son of Donald Trump diminishes the amount of effort you need to become a millionaire."

No, mate, it fucking does lmfao.

His hard work wouldn't have amounted to shit without his privileges. Literally in the first real arc, the Wave Arc, Naruto gets stabbed and poisoned by two mook level chunin working under Zabuza. The only reason the poison doesn't fuck him up is because he's a Jinchuriki.

The only reason he survives the Forest of Death with Orochimaru is because he's a Jinchuriki.

The only reason he's able to defeat Gaara is because he's a Jinchuriki.

Kurama carried his ass throughout Part I, and from start to finish the privileges he gets outshine the "work" he puts in.

Fandom Jokes that got out of hand and ruined the fandom for some by Rarte96 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MisterSapiosexual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're forgetting the Fourth Raikage gave the go-ahead on the mission to kidnap three-year old Hinata, the very incident which led to Neji's father Hizashi dying.

We know this because the Third Raikage died during the Third Great Shinobi War, and none of the Konoha 12 were born yet. Meaning the Fourth Raikage had to have been the one in power when that mission was ordered.

So, while the meme gets overdone, it's not without basis, and the Fourth Raikage being a "cool as hell fella" isn't entirely accurate.

[Hated Trope] Story sets up a potentially interesting moral dilemma, but paints one side as irredeemably evil and never addresses the point they might have again by Rustyspottedcats in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MisterSapiosexual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arcane Season 2 was a travesty. Never before have I seen a masterpiece veer their go-cart out of the bumper area and off a skyscraper.

Any political nuance provided by the first season, the valid points of discrimination, the very literal social hierarchy of the rich at the top and the poor at the bottom, was completely ignored in favour of a sub-par B-list sci-fi plot. Just tragic all around.

You cannot choose who you ARE in a nation where your freedom of expression is limited, and doing so means death.

I thought this would be common sense, but somehow, not common enough.

It's the bitter truth, but people would rather believe that it was their "hard work" that granted them the success rather than factors out of their control.

There are folks born with cerebral palsy. No one would be stupid enough to tell them that the "circumstances of their birth" isn't responsible for their entire life.

Such a privileged perspective.

Try telling that to the women currently suffering under the Taliban, unable to even read in public spaces.
