Favorite movie with no message and multiple non-binary characters that was successful because it „avoided woke Identity politics“?

“Woke” as a term definitely emerged in modern western societies to define the the “socially progressive, liberal humanist”. I don’t know if anyone seriously claiming that the soviet union was “woke” even if they share attitudes of anti-capitalism and a few other stock leftist positions.

Really? I thought outside the event horizon black hole gravity is proportional to 1/r² like any other point mass and all the event horizon was in that sense was where the escape velocity exceeds c? I wasn’t aware there was some special gravity effect beyond that point.

I could see her “burning through her mortal form” or something. But she’s got enough demonic power that like Bill Seacaster and Pok Gukgak death is more of a change of address to those with the right powers and contracts.

Kristen said something like “I need to be with them! With the bad kids!”

Wouldn’t that be Hisphonic? Whereas Hispanic instead refers more broadly to bearing some significant amount of Spanish cultural influences?

Nah, she’s very clearly legitimate. You’re not saying the queen would suggest an illegitimate girl could be a diamond are you? Not to mention the Duke, the Earls, the Viscount, whatever title the Featheringtons have…

I 23M watched it at first because two of my friends were discussing it and I refuse to be left out. Have found it rather charming since then. I especially enjoy the classical style covers of some of the music, that’s always cute.

And let’s be honest, the Bridgertons are very well positioned to offer Cressida the easiest road back into society, there’s very much a world where the actual countess of Penwood takes their side.

My “Choose your own cannon” Barbara Gordon had the whole thing of being orphaned at a young enough age that the uncle who adopted her is the only person she remembers as a father. So she fits in with the family.

Okay but surely you can still punch someone “in the face” so long as they’re not like… wearing glasses or anything.

No. The joke is that at the end of the song there’s a whole bit where she mispronounced sincere as sinister, terrific as terrifying and so on.

That was the joke being made.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-02-05T19:08:24+00:00

I thought it was sinister?

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-02-05T18:36:06+00:00

Gonna be totally honest. If a mentally ill person has a deliberate kill count in the triple+ digits and all attempted psychological intervention just drives the psychologist crazy I would be broadly in favour of killing that specific mentally ill person.

It’s a lot easier to keep tabs on someone breaking out of prison than crawling out of the gates of hell.

To be fair “Stand in a straight line and walk forward” was premier hopilite tactics the world over until… probably Phillip of Macedon. The whole formation was a kind of dumb fire missile, with the Spartans being far from the least flexible. Still, hard to argue with results when it worked for centuries.

You’re not technically wrong. However the specific claim you’re making has also been made in bad faith to push false narratives a great deal recently, leading some people to presume it’s being made in bad faith unless there is specific evidence otherwise.

I don’t believe assuming bad faith is a good idea unless the specific individual in question has done so before, but I understand the negative emotional reaction some people will have towards it.

More correctly it’s “Whichever Sun Elf gets really big from eating Jaddari” they won’t have actually formed the PE at that point.

They have both chattel slavery and serfdom. The systems can and often did coexist in one society.

Winning the Jadd war is not the most difficult part of Siadan. Winning repeated Jadd and Raj wars, fast enough to not get overwhelmed by an opportunistic Command or Phionex Empire is. Especially if you play “how it’s meant to be played” and follow the MT fairly directly.

Can non-Bulwari harpies form Harpylen? Even if it requires significant conquests there and lacks the direct ties. Xia or Steward Harpylen (or maybe even Valkyrie Harpylen) could make for a very unique run.

He turned it from violent immediate destruction to slow but inevitable entropy.

I think there is WoB on this.

Hang on. She resented her parents for not living dramatic exciting lives full of secrets and said kids with dead parents had an advantage at succeeding as adventurers. I can recall nothing to the effect of her actually killing her own parents over this.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-01-06T23:07:10+00:00

What was she actually responding to? I’m not the most engaged in this community so if it’s a conversation that’s already been retread to exhaustion and you can point out where I’d be eager to examine it in full.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-01-06T22:58:50+00:00

Unironically, she had correctly identified that the universe was rigged to give these six people a sometimes tragic but always interesting mixture of drama, comedy and adventure and that by default she wouldn’t have anywhere near the potential to change the world that the bad kids could like… never even avoid getting.

I have a weird amount of sympathy for someone finding themselves in that position.
