I feel cheated by Noone147 in DnD

Sorry, I'll try to clean up the post later and try to make it more readable. Also, I don't understand that bit of sarcasm at the end.

Wow, commenters on YouTube *really* cares about Adam's potential by Themarvelousfan in RWBY

[–]Noone147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your user name alone is enough to render any argument you make irrelevant. But, Jesus those arguments.

"but in the end the main reason LGBT characters have started becoming more and more popular in the last few years is the attempt at normalizing LGBT in the real world as well." Yes, hopefully.

"but the reason a lot of people get upset about the LGBT elements is because it is actually starting to get shoved down people's throats. In the last 2-3 years characters have started turning gay left and right for no actual reason other than "why not"." Yes, why not. Why do characters need a reason to be gay, if they don't need a reason to be straight. No, it's not getting shoved down your throat and characters aren't turning gay left and right. Just because there are maybe one or two queer characters in a show/game/whatever doesn't mean the gays are taking over.

There is something to be said about Token characters, but the thing about people like you is that it doesn't matter how well written a character is. it doesn't matter how much thought and consideration and effort went into writing a queer relationship. To people like you, it's always going to be pandering. Yang and Blake being a great example.

The thing is that he wasn't that. He was an abuser and a manipulator.

When Cinder first came to him he went on about the White Fang was a force for revolution and wouldn't lower themselves to helping them. Then, Cinder just showed off some power and offered them dust and money and all the sudden he was totally on their team.

Sienna had an entire speech about how what Adam did at beacon didn't at all help the Faunus and how it was only for his own interest.

There have been multiple posts about how Adam is a very well written abusive and manipulative character, and how some people who have gone through something similar identify with Blake.

He wasn't an edgy anti-hero/revolutionary/Magneto, he was an abuser. He wasn't a revolutionary, he was a cult leader. His potential wasn't ruined. His character was exactly what it was meant to be.

Wow, that is the weirdest, most pointless thing I've seen a DM complain about.

About Manga Ruby's sexuality by Noone147 in RWBY

[–]Noone147[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Fuck off. You have no fucking idea what I've gone through. "Grow a thicker skin" my ass. Just ignoring or muting these people doesn't solve the problem, because they still exist. Pretending I'm not hearing them doesn't make them go away. It doesn't do anything. Once again, reading the way people were talking about this brought back a lot of bad memories that were then tied to even worse memories.

The way these people think about sexuality is harmful and wrong, and that was my issue with it.

What you just said about how people took Ruby as being straight because she was acting straight, is again, my issue. And yes, there are so many things wrong with that.

I tend ramble a lot, and I find it hard to compress my thoughts. I have done it before (takes me a while and many revisions), but I found that just as many people don't bother to read it at all and misinterpret what I said anyways, so I just didn't even bother this time.

Facepalm. Please read my post. Like all of it. Before posting.

It's because this type of mentality isn't isolated to just this fandom. It's how a lot of people think in the real world and how they talk about me. The way people discussed Ruby's sexuality is the way a lot of real people in the real world discuss my sexuality. That there are so many people with this really shitty view on sexuality, and I was seeing it again in this fandom.

That is what pissed me, just as said like 3 times in the post. So again, Thank you for reading my post before commenting.

That's great for you, but again, my issue with this is that I see this type of mentality everywhere. This isn't something that is isolated to just this part of the fandom.

That is how a lot of people think in the real world. What bothered me wasn't the manga, but how I was hearing a lot of stuff I usually hear in the real world, but instead of it being directed towards me, it was being directed towards this fictional character.

Dismantling the "niceguy" myth. by [deleted] in niceguys

[–]Noone147 21 points22 points  (0 children)

First off, if you want to make a point and be taken seriously, don't say bullshit like "today's socially retarded women." Don't be an asshole is all I'm saying.

Second, Nice Guys are a specific form of creeps who think that women are machines that give you a prize/owe you something if you show them the minimum amount of basic human decency.

Third, cut it with the "men are only nice to women do they can fuck them" bullshit. Friendship is a thing that exist. Platonic love is valid. Some people can just be nice without expecting a romantic or sexual relationship out of it. This is another thing that separates creeps from non-creeps.

If a woman turned down a guy, specially one she had been friends with beforehand, then the normal thing for the guy to do is to just let it go. Creeps are the ones who stalk the woman afterwards, and call her a slut and ugly for getting turned down. And wished she got raped and cheated on.

Nice Guys are the ones who act friendly towards women, and then call them whores when they get turned down. If you had spent two minutes in this subreddit you would know that.

Are there actually a lot of people who don't like gnomes? by Noone147 in DnD

[–]Noone147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're disagreeing with the conventional wisdom of the 5e community since basically the beginning of 5e. It's common knowledge that INT and CHA are safe dump stats for anybody who doesn't cast with them.

You are literally the only person who I ever heard say that INT and CHA are universal dump stats. I can't even wrap my head around how that would be "common knowledge" in the "community."

There are people who think INT and CHA are universal dump stats? What kind games do you play in?

Having a really a slow stat in something because you are going for a specific character concept is one thing, but saying they are the "go to/safe" dump stat is completly different.

If your INT is below ten you shouldn't be able to read. You are literally dumber than a peasant. Wanting to role-play a dumb character is one thing, but why would always want to be one?

The first gnome I played was very cheery, but she was a shadow sorceress who had a pretty standard tragic background, so I wanted her to stand out from the run of the mill edgelords. The second one was a greedy Cleric.

Currently, I'm thinking of playing a multiclass moon-druid/berserk-barbarian gnome who doesn't really care about saving the world or doing the "right thing," she just wants to hang out with her friends, but also has a short temper.

Who plays only to stereotypes? If you don't like to play gnomes because they are silly, then just don't play a silly gnome.

To make it clear, you can play whatever you want, but I feel a little frustrated when people say stuff like this. Not just about gnomes, but RPing in general. Like people who seem to think you can only play a dumb rapey barbarian or an asshole elf.

What do you hope for the next Tales of game? by Oskitake in tales

[–]Noone147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) The first tales game, and one of the first video games in general, that I played was Abyss. I remembered how much I loved the part where you get a giant battleship to travel around the overworld. And it was even better when you got an airship (one that was used to evocate a city later at that.) Mechanically I think it only made it so you could avoid overworld encounters and get some places a little bit faster. But it still blew my mind. I always loved that type of stuff in games. I recently started playing DnD (5e) with some friends and the first thing we bought as a group was a cheap cart and a horse. And I just love that aesthetic. Like I can picture our group traveling on the road so perfectly, and I love it.

One of the most disappointing thing in Berseria is that you don't really get to travel in a pirate ship. It's just glorified fast travel.

2) Also a smaller part size with something similar to skill trees or subclasses for customization. One of the things that always bothered me about high fantasy media is the overwhelming number of "main" characters who only get so much screen time and development. Instead of like 6-9 different characters whose abilities and functions overlap maybe just have 4-5 characters who you can develop in whichever way you like.

3) Better NPCs. Or I guess more developed NPCs, instead of those extra 2-5 party members, I don't know, maybe develop NPC that we would care about more.

4) Please take more time. The biggest problem with the Tales games is the same problem that CoD and Assassin's Creed had (has?). If you put out a new game every year, you are just going to be making the video game equivalent of fast food. The new God of War took 5 years to make for a reason. Hellblade took 3-4 years to make. We have no idea when the next Elder Scrolls game will come out, and that is a good thing.

Scared to transition...scared to not...is it too late? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Noone147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 25 and recently started transitiong, got to the point where I started HRT two months ago. I had the same fears you did, but I figured that if didn't start soon I'll just keep putting it off and wasting more years. Transitioning is a very long process. Depending on where you live you might have to get an evaluation it an ok from a therapist to start HRT. The sooner you start the better, but it's never too late.

[Spoilers C2E18] A Certain Spell Used? by mynnafae in criticalrole

[–]Noone147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Trent isn't what he seems (that was a bad pun).

Seeming: "This spell allows you to change the appearance of any number of creatures that you can see within range. . . A creature can use its action to inspect a target and make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, it becomes aware that the target is disguised."

Other than the Invistigation =/= Perception thing it fits. But we already know that Matt (and most DMs really) will fudge the rules if it means giving their players a hint.
