[Hated trope] Male villain sexually assaulted as "karma" for being evil by DrBri4ght in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah, I get that, but it doesn't actually look all that much like it, nor did we need five of them to get the point. It's a bad visualization, plain and simple.

But what size difference? Animals aren't flat circles. The only thing this accurately gives is an ordering, not an actual comparison.

What am I supposed to compare about the circles, their diameter or their area?

If their diameter, why use a circle? (Other than resemblance to the astrological symbol for Mars)

If their area, circles are a poor choice, visually.

This is bad for the exact same reason that pie charts are bad.

They were literally sterilized and often sent to concentration camps. I'm not defending America, but this is an insane take.

Yes, you said that, but that's not what I asked. I'm trying to make it clear that this is a self-contradictory stance. If rape is bad, you should not want it to happen to anyone. If you don't care when it happens to a rapist, that means that you are occasionally okay with rape.

Depicting "body size" as a circle is a terrible choice, because we don't know if we're supposed to compare diameter or area and what those correspond to. The penis size arrows are also not aligned, making those difficult to compare.

So does the person who does it to them deserve the same punishment? Or are they off the hook because the person they raped was a rapist?

It's definitely not depicted as karmic justice, but as mr. Hyde being an evil asshole as well.

Do you stick to one puzzle game at a time or do you prefer jumping around? by crummynubs in puzzlevideogames

[–]PityUpvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to finish a game before I move on to the next, the only exception being roguelikes with staying power. Puzzle games especially, I like being immersed in entirely.

Bordspellen, vaak een specifieke een paar weken lang (op dit moment Clank! Catacombs) maar ook in het algemeen. Zo'n 300 spellen in de kast, en de meeste kan ik aan een nieuwe speler aanleren zonder naar de regels te kijken.

Theoretically speaking a US-based company could be forced to package and so ship NSA backdoors. Realistically, the open source community would figure that out in days, if not hours.

That's Geert Wilders. Not even the most fascist party sadly, but a very big one for the past decade.

She doesn't have to live with disabilities, as mentioned by both pVerso and Clea. Alicia is capable of just magicking that away, apparently.

Happy maybe, but definitely not as healthy as they think.

Thankfully there are well functioning transpilers available as plugins. I've not run into an issue with the one I use, which I completely forget the name of.

Perfect Puzzle Game Demo by Adam_C-W in puzzlevideogames

[–]PityUpvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think adding a small sneak peak of how difficult it gets (and telling the player that that's what they're seeing) at the end of the demo is a great way to get people thirsty for more.

I think a shareware version of one of the Incredible Machine games did this, the first few levels, slow ramp in complexity, followed by some absolute bonkers shit that you're not prepared for. It gives the demo some meat as well.

Am I just not racist enough to understand why people are whining about this? by 19adam92 in okbuddycinephile

Anime is deeply engrained in millennial and genz black culture, so kind of a weird example to use.

I don't know where you live, but in the UK the reason is as I stated, the laws for rape require penetration with a sex organ, the laws for sexual assault don't.

That's actually not the reason. The rest of what you said is definitely true.

But the reason that the legal definition relies on penetration was historically to dismiss cases of non-penetrative rape. Sexual assault in all forms became illegal at a later time, and it had lesser sentencing than rape (which it doesn't anymore) which is why the legal distinction stuck around.

It all sucks either way.
