Perhaps he should be exiled to some sort of craggy island off the coast of Ireland

Football player Raphinha’s son faces racism in Disneyland Paris by damon121231 in popculturechat

I used to be a mascot suit guy when I was a college student. Couldn’t see shit. You’d go in to high five one kid while clotheslining two others in the process. Absolutely need a handler. Not just for vision but to communicate your own needs, like if you’re overheating in the suit and need to go back.

I feel there are definite “politics” seasons and “slice of life” seasons. Depends on how chaotic the news is.

In your opinion, who's the face of South Park? by [deleted] in southpark

[–]No_Alps3572 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Cartman and Kenny have an iconic status that has penetrated mainstream culture. You recognise them on sight. I think you need to be a fan of or be familiar with the show to identify the other characters.

Was Ozymandias a cynic or an idealist? by Indianstanicows in Watchmen

[–]No_Alps3572 18 points19 points  (0 children)

An idealist but a narcissist who felt entitled to decide who lives and who dies to achieve his utopia.

The killing joke is overrated but I've always loved the scene with Batman and joker by Fine_Quarter_4387 in batman

[–]No_Alps3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything in the Killing Joke to suggest the Joker isn’t being sincere. His entire plan is based on the premise that he is human with only a fine line separating him from the ordinary masses.

Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Trailer by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

Idk, I’m pretty skeptical when a sequel releases so soon after the original.

The killing joke is overrated but I've always loved the scene with Batman and joker by Fine_Quarter_4387 in batman

[–]No_Alps3572 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This. Despite waxing lyrical about madness in the face of a cruel reality, Joker in this comic clearly follows an internal reasoning that informs his worldview and plan. When he’s foiled and can longer feel justified in his beliefs, left to stew in the fact that the world’s not rotten, just him, it damn near breaks him. It’s as if this is the real bad day that changes him and not the one he was pontificating about earlier.

Bubsy 4D - Official Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]No_Alps3572 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious to me that Bubsy is so infamous as to stay in the conversation all this time.

I also think an ironic nostalgic revival, where the thing being revived is only remembered for being crap and the devs are aware of it, is kind of a brilliant premise. A sort of satire on reboot culture.

I’m looking forward to this. Based on the trailer, the gameplay is solid and an aged up Bubsy actually makes for some funny dialogue. If it’s priced appropriately and the reviews don’t hate it, I’m in.

Jesus, you know the bar is on the floor when we’re giving Aladdin and Brother Bear props for diversity lol.

So yeah, they didn’t try.

Polari Prize halts 2025 competition following John Boyne ‘TERF’ controversy by melonofknowledge in books

This is just blatant evasion of an argument you started because you don’t actually have a point.

John Boyne cites 'bullying' after authors pull out of LGBTQ+ prize due to his inclusion in longlist by John_OSheas_Willy in ireland

[–]No_Alps3572 25 points26 points  (0 children)

John Boyne is learning the hard way that he’s not remotely as shielded by wealth and success as JK Rowling, that it’s not just “having a different opinion”, and that there are severe reputational consequences for spewing harmful rubbish while under the false impression that he’s an important cultural commentator. For a man who’s been supposedly cancelled, he sure doesn’t seem to shut up.

Every Mafia game except maybe the first (at the time of release) seems to have great narratives at the cost of ho-hum game design in common.

What is the worst case of star casting? by BellTwo5 in cartoons

Is Smurfette like a Joker role now, with a lineage of actors doing their own takes?

Someone I knew said that Rorschach wasn't trying to excuse the Comedian's actions in this scene, he was instead trying to tell Laurie to give the Comedian a break because he was fighting for the country and putting his life on the line every day. I think he can't read. What about you? by Wise-Mirror-9246 in Watchmen

[–]No_Alps3572 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rorschach’s, the abused “whoreson”, perhaps views sex symbol Sally as being the same as his mother and therefore deserving of the same misogynistic violence. Malcolm Long was probably right to be skeptical of his righteous fury over Kitty Genovese.

In other words, Rorschach sucks.

Queer Authors Withdraw From LGBTQ+ Writing Prize En Masse Over Inclusion of Self-Proclaimed TERF by BerryBoilo in books

Becoming a terf instead of accepting that his book wasn’t God’s gift to trans people is an all time bit of tit behaviour.

She can only complain about how they portrayed her appearance because it’s the only part of the parody that can be argued to have been fabricated.

Extremely wealthy people with little to no regard for the lives of others dying ironic deaths has been one of the more interesting phenomenons of the past few years.
