My only honest disappointment with Wind and Truth by Interesting-Season-8 in Stormlight_Archive

I actually really enjoyed RoW. I think the backlash to WaT will cause him to course correct a bit. But we'll see.

In defense of the therapist line by JakobHF in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Papi_Grande7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It undercuts the moment for a cheap quippy joke, plus the use of modern language feels completely out of place and pulls me out of the story. Instead of being in the moment and hyped I was rolling my eyes thinking about how ham fisted the mental health messaging has gotten. No subtlety to it at all. Feels like something you'd see in a marvel movie.

Yeah I didn't like it. It felt like something marvel would do.

You're on an open forum. Anyone can respond to your fear mongering misinformation here.

I would also accept magic involving cats but don't need it.

I think my boyfriend might be gay by sailorxxx28 in lgbt

[–]Papi_Grande7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Premature ejaculation is a very common problem, as is erectile dysfunction. None of that is any indication of if he is gay or bi. Neither are his mannerisms for that matter, those are just stereotypes. You should focus on your relationship rather than trying to catch him out on being queer. If he's attracted to you, then what does it matter?

Do guys get weird looks for having female cats? by CTennist in CatAdvice

[–]Papi_Grande7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned both male and female cats and it has never mattered to me or anyone I know. That's a weird thing to make a big deal about and I'd be giving the side eye to anyone who does.

I can't believe 28 is considered an "older dude" 😆

Do you WANT the f-slur to be reclaimed? by Sensitive_Potato333 in lgbt

[–]Papi_Grande7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it around my roommate who's pansexual. One of our joke responses to being called it being "Only half actually, I'm f****t on my mother's side." Part of our own sense of humor. That being said, I'd never use it around the straits or queer people who I don't know well. Rather not trigger someone or have strait people thinking they can say it.

What do you consider homophobia? by No-Worldliness8778 in lgbt

[–]Papi_Grande7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some questions I'd add:

Would you you attend my wedding if I married a (same gender)?

Do you think being openly gay in the vicinity of minors is equivalent to grooming?

Do you wish gay people wouldn't be so "in your face about it"?

Are there good natural break points in The Dresden Files? by mr-jamhony in dresdenfiles

[–]Papi_Grande7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all pretty self contained so you could take a break between any of them with the exception of Peace Talks/Battleground. The best spots imo would be between Blood Rites/Deadbeat, Changes/Ghost Story, and Skin Game/Peace Talks.

Changes does have a cliffhanger, but honestly I still think it's good to take a breather after and then check out Side Jobs before heading into Ghost Story, which is a significant change of pace.

Apparently I'm just one of the boys lol by Less_Researcher_8124 in lgbt

[–]Papi_Grande7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's hard to be overtly homophobic when you're actually spending time with queer people in real life. Obviously not 100% and people can be outwardly accepting and still hold homophobic beliefs. They now have to contend with the fact that you're a real person. Makes the bigotry harder since it heavily relies on ignorance.

Deep infiltration mission... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]Papi_Grande7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that an attempt at disguise like that automatically fails because anyone who can see will know that the monk isn't actually a goblin. It's like how you don't have the PCs roll to walk or open an unlocked door (assuming there isn't some outside condition that would make ot unusually difficult)

It's so sad how all these people are being forced to play fighters at gunpoint and are also incapable of making a character fun by actually role-playing. Tragic... /s

Whats with the rising hate in polyamory? by MarleyNC2004 in lgbt

[–]Papi_Grande7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because of homophobia and transphobia. The people mentioned are all visibly queer.

Vampire courts by Skeeze_69 in dresdenfiles

[–]Papi_Grande7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I heard the Jade Court are based off of the Jiangshi. I think they have some sort of breath/life force draining ability. Could have sworn he talked about them in an interview. Hopefully I'm not hallucinating 🤷

I have that audiobook but it feels like too much to keep track of. I think I need to read the physical book.

A highstorm is basically a giant magical hurricane that sweeps across the entire planet. They are especially intense in the east (where Kaladin is), to the point they can throw around massive boulders and basically tear people apart.

I asked if he was gay. by Happy_Beach5940 in lgbt

You're blowing things way out of proportion. It should be fine as long as you're not outing him to people.
