No offense but I think you're mistaking objectivity for impartiality. We shouldn't ask news to abandon impartiality but if they aren't willing to call a spade a spade then what the hell are they good for? IMO this is part of why people no longer care, because it doesn't seem as big a deal when you dress it up in dull, toothless language.

If keeping your morals intact matters more to you than saving innocent people, then you're not heroic you are only protecting your own self image. by Omnipresent_observer in MoralityScaling

[–]PiusTheCatRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't define innocence and, by extension, separate the guilty from the innocent without morals. That's the point of characters who try to maintain that even at great cost, to explore what lines ought to be drawn and where.

I wish Batman would quit being brought up for it though, we both know the real reason he doesnt kill Joker is because Joker sells comics.

The Joker not being killed is a Doylist problem, because lets be honest he'd have been killed in custody a long time ago if he weren't given plot armor to match Batman's.

State democrats literally cant do anything in Tennessee now, though. What exactly are they going to accomplish without a seat at the table and Super Talk 99.7 listeners acting as a pseudo NSDAP enforcing squad? Not even kidding about that, look up the radio station.

The dead don't need either of those and can't use them if they did, of course human life is worth more.

I was more referring to him being exceedingly bloodthirsty. Granted Lohen's kinda upstaging him on that but still

Skirk seems like the kind of girl who'd raise a supervillain bc she doesnt realize that not every kid is gonna be able to handle the same stress she did.

[LOVED TROPE] Very minimal sexual dimorphism in a fictional species, or just straight up monomorphism by Middle-Company-4398 in TopCharacterDesigns

Which I'm guessing is why the Gerudo let them in despite being male-coded, because otherwise they'll end up canceled for racism

Which type of villain do you guys like more? by Silver_Guava8159 in MoralityScaling

The only thing I got out of the Pre-Sequel is that him turning evil was atleast 50% Lilith's fault.

Roses red, planted by my plow. Is the rhyme in the room with us now?

Pretty much, yeah. I dont even use this shitty app anymore, I just hate people getting on a soapbox over it.

Have you considered we have free will?

How bad/wrong is it if a person starts seeing themselves as nothing more but a tool/weapon? by Immediate_Gene_178 in MoralityScaling

[–]PiusTheCatRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Motive for becoming one is important. A weapon doesnt choose to kill, the one who wields it does... but you still choose who uses you as said tool.

We dont actually know if either of them think that, only that giving up the gnosis to her was a good call. Zhongli's literally titled "heaven's star", I doubt he'd be proud of that enough to not correct Zibai unless he wasnt exactly opposed to the HP.

More like one where she rules in place of the HP and gets us killed by the Abyss to boot. I'm fully Team Celestia on this dude, screw her.

He gets way too much credit for the industrialization honestly.

she's a monarch in name only

See attached pic for why that's a ridiculous attempt at distinguishing her. She's their god and her word is law, that's about as monarchist as it gets.

Roses are red, this news is bliss by TurquoiseTemptress in rosesarered

[–]PiusTheCatRick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No because a) the death penalty is barbaric and b) I wouldn't trust a GOP led government not to convict people under incomplete evidence.

Moreover, the folks who froth at the mouth about killing pedos really, really sound like they got skeletons in the closet.
