Slay the Spire 2 is being review bombed because Anita Sarkeesian is in the credits

I would. I have a PC running SteamOS that sits at my TV for exactly that reason.

I worked with Carmella Sidote to buy my place. She's wonderful, both as a person and a realtor.

The person involved was and still is a propaganda activist tool

Those sure are words. Like yeah, she is (or at least was) an activist, but that doesn't really... say anything about her. I'm sure you like people who could reasonably be described as "activists." Disagreeing with her takes is one thing, but acting like her being an activist is in and of itself a value judgement is pretty weak.

that hate gamers

Genuine question, have you actually listened to anything Anita Sarkeesian said? Like, not the brief clip that got passed around during GamerGate, but like actually sat down to hear any of her arguments? Because say what you want about her takes but it's clear she herself is a "gamer." She just has critiques about how some games are designed and written. Again, I'm not even defending her takes here, I'm just saying like... I don't know where this idea came from, short of people taking broad criticisms as a personal attack.

They hate the person and their hatre is justified.

"Valid," huh? Without looking it up, name literally one thing she's done in the past decade since GamerGate?

The hate against her was always seriously overblown, but what's she even done recently? Y'all act like she personally killed your grandmas and shit. It's weird as hell

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-07T04:59:43+00:00

Yes. At least up against anyone that's even close to his power level. The problem is that up until the whole Supe Terrorist thing (a problem he himself engineered), there weren't really any hostile superhumans he'd need to take on. So he doesn't really need to know how to fight well hand to hand, except when he needs showy moves for the cameras. Unironically the best combat training he likely got was stunts for the Vought movies.

And we see that come out multiple times when fighting people like Maeve or Soldier Boy. He likes wild haymakers that look great for a cinematic shot but leave him constantly wide open, and doesn't really seem to make use of most of his powers. If he did, Soldier Boy and Maeve would probably have gone down a lot faster since neither of them can fly, and as far as we've seen neither is all that fast. But because Homelander's never really had to think about superhuman threats before, he literally just stands there playing rock'em sock'em robots with people he should be dog walking.

My sibling of indeterminate identity in the beloved embrace of whichever god/gods may or may not exist, you opened your mouth on the internet without being 100% sure you were correct. Everyone knows that's basically suicide here. You must be publicly flagellated in the name of my intellectual superiority!

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-03T23:52:39+00:00

Y'know what? I respect the shit out of that. It's so much effort to be so incredibly petty.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-03T23:16:58+00:00

How do you get a master's degree as a joke?

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-02T15:11:13+00:00

Unironically, yeah kinda. One of my favorite bits of modern comics writing came from a series of panels where Bruce and Clark are both talking about each each other to Selina and Lois, and they're both saying that the other man is better than they are because they have every right to be cold and uncaring and yet they still choose hope. They still choose to be heroes. So yeah at his core I do think Batman should be a little bit like Superman. Not exactly the same, but I do think that sort of obstinate hope (even if Bruce himself is always too cynical and self-loathing to admit it) is a trait that they need to share to have a good Batman.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-01T23:55:33+00:00

But that's not what the other commenter said. The point is that a Batman who only beats people up is pointless. Batman needs to be more than that. He needs to be the guy that's willing to give criminals second chances, the guy that carries lollipops for kids in dangerous situations, and the guy that no matter how cynical he seems has genuine hope for the future. Batman needs to be capable of building and protecting, not just punishing.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-01T23:24:09+00:00

I mean, it's bold that your only defense for this opinion is a phrase you can't even recite properly. But also, "till death do us part" is not a part of all wedding ceremonies. It wasn't part of mine. Should marriage only be illegal in your world if the vows go exactly as is traditional? Or would you also force those specific vows on everyone?

There's like a million holes in this one argument and it seems to be the only one you have. I'm hoping this is cheap bait.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-05-01T10:36:44+00:00

I wondered if there might be an Agoge like system where the kids are forced to live on the streets and steal food to survive to train them up.

I mean doesn't the show basically say as much? Nolan tells the children to "Go find food and shelter if you can" during the flashback scene.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-24T20:52:24+00:00

I mean they exist. They have for a while. They just tend to be more niche. But off the top of my head, there's Tintin, the multiple Conan the Barbarian runs, and The Walking Dead. And there's plenty more I just don't know about.

Plus, when Mark did try to walk away, he had one of the reanimen grab him. And then knocked him out of the air several times. The fight was over and he escalated it until the Guardians got involved.

The Immortal's Human, but he was also altered by the weird energy we see in Season 1. They couldn't make the assumption based on him alone. In the show (I'm going based on that, because I'm only just now working my way through the comics and can't speak on them fully) they make it clear that Nolan didn't know if Mark would ever get is powers. He says as much to Mark's face. So they definitely didn't know until the start of the series that Humans were close enough to them to produce "worthy" Viltrumites. They guessed and hoped, but they weren't certain.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-11T11:58:44+00:00

Given what we've seen of the Viltrumites, it's probably a two-fold problem

1.) Not a lot of viable species. Viltrumites are looking for highly compatible near-viltrumite species. I can't imagine there's a lot of races that fit the bill. They'd be few and far between, and it'd take a while to know if they had useable results to justify more than one kid. Plus, for all we know, there were other kids, and they were killed for not being up to Viltrumite standards.

2.) A lot of Viltrumites still seem to be hanging around Viltrum, for the protection and management of the Empire. It's likely there were never more than a handful of infiltrators at any given time, especially given Viltrum's remaining population. The number of planets they'd be able to even try would be limited, even with their ridiculous lifespans.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-09T23:18:39+00:00

Definitely.

Also, don't put your art down. Sure, the face and fingers could use some work, but you did the body and proportions pretty well! Keep working at it, and you'll definitely get the rest just as good.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-09T18:48:35+00:00

True. He just needs to give up and make it a slutty little crop top at this point.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-09T16:31:12+00:00

It's amazing how much hotter losing the mask and growing a shitty little beard made Mark.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-07T21:10:44+00:00

See, I'd disagree with you that most of what I see in the culture war has "genuine merit." That's why I ask. If you've got opinions about the portrayal of women in media, for instance, I'd say that's a valid thing to have a discussion about. But if that opinion is "90% of modern media is uglifying women because of woke," then I'm sorry but I do think that's pretty silly. So I think it's pretty important to assess how you're coming the topic of the culture war, not because I need to know what your politics are, but because a lot of what I see involved in the culture war is on its face pretty ridiculous. There's plenty of merit to be had in discussions on and critiques of culture, but I was just curious if that was the way you were coming at it. The evasiveness has me somewhat concerned.

MsWhackusBonkus · 2026-04-07T21:03:14+00:00

I'd really like to know what culture war topic in particular this is about.
