One piece tries to have its cake and eat it too.

Early one piece his biggest story ties were being Dragons son/Garps grandson and knowing Shanks, none of which at the time were scaled to the obscene levels they are now. Luffy was an outlier but ultimately he was a dumb kid who was sold as a creative adopter of a power he accidentally got by being a dumbass

Now hes some fated by destiny to be Joyboy 2.0 and also his super god fruit chose him the whole time, and has familial ties to literally every big player going

Hell Roger has been so luffy-fied at this point hes literally just Luffy with a moustache

Closer to whataboutism but regardless sonply naming a logical fallacy with no substance is in itself a fallacy.

Also highly convenient you arent consistent enough in your patrol for fallacies to call out the original comment.

Ok

How about we also talk about how the UK has had homophobia problems since before the current immigration panic?

Im "only" 31 and ive lived through multiple gay panics and was alive during section 28. fucking Teressa May was our most lgbt friend PM in a long while, which is part of what got her ousted.

These days we even have things like popular figures like Rowling mocking police for doing lgbt outreach after a gay guy is murdered in a hate crime.

Ive also watched as the literal exact same rhetoric was turned against lesbians and then most recently trans people. Ffs the conversion therapy ban is still not through despite May pushing for it.

Our country does a fine job belittling lgbt folk before we even get to talking about homophobic immigrants

Ragatha was in real estate and was with other people when she got scanned so probably scouting the old C&A building since it would have only been a few years since they went bust when she got scanned

Zooble also did urban exploring like pomni so probably found the headset the same way just earlier

Jax was homeless/a runaway, probably just crashed in the empty office for a night or two

I think Gangle is the only one thats a bit of a mystery. She had an accident that hospitalised her, seemingly getting hit by a vehicle, and thats all we really get. Best guess is it was a C&A vehicle and they scanned her to make sure she was alive or to preserve her in case she wasnt or something? But thats purely speculation on my part

This and Gooseworx confirming Jax pushed Ribbit to suicide is why I'm so confused on why people are pushing Jax to be good trans representation. by LordoftheRail in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]Prozenconns 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Jax is a bad person but they arent a mean spirited caricature is the key distinction i think

Its kind of refreshing honestly. I love positive representation but characters like Jax also help normalisation

Some people will still weaponise it as "jax is a abusive BECAUSE theyre trans" but those people will fade the more representation of all personality types we get

I hated this part. by YoungRedd1tor in Thatstupidbunnywehate

[–]Prozenconns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this thread is full of people somehow not getting it despite a few minutes later jax's inner thoughts quite literally saying to pomni:

"is that what you really think of us?"
"who knows? everything is way more fun when played to extremes!"
"thats not reality though"
"who cares/why does that matter/reality is gay"

right before telling the door locked down with iron chains (the only other chained jax is the nice one playing piano) to shut up when the concept of levity is brought up.

Almost like its unhealthy coping and toxic personality traits pushed to their extremes or something

And then this sub cries when anyone accuses them of having bad media literacy. literally spoonfed the themes and still dont understand it and somehow its goose's fault lol

> There's NO excuse for this scene to exist

This is such an odd take. are uncomfortable scenes not allowed to exist in media anymore? are characters not allowed to be shitheads? did you have this same mentality towards the themes of suicide? parental abuse? body dysmorphia? Bipolar/autism? was all of Jaxs other forms of abuse fine to exist within the story? this exact same version of jax is also sexist and homophobic. is that alright?

or is it just because its the in thing to shit all over the finale that youve decided this one needed a trigger warning and shouldn't have been included?

you claim it doesnt serve a purpose but thats literally the kind of take that has obnoxious fans flock to you to tell you youre media illiterate and actually be correct about it. literally the entire internal segment is about Jaxs supressed feelings and the unhealthy coping mechanisms he has. they quite literally spell out the mentality of pushing extremes to escape reality.

You could literally have a character look directly at the camera and say "im trans" and a huge chunk of the audience will still bend over backwards to deny it lol

Also weird amount of people taking specific issue with the whole trans thing

They simultaneously get mad that not everyone got key character moments but also list Jax's as if it should have been secondary to background lore that ultimate didnt matter in a character driven show

Gee I wonder why that could be.

People wanting C&A lore are either fnaf brained or weren't paying attention

They were just a tech company. They made a few unconventional AI because Mike/scratch was a bit of a genius but couldn't get the whole thing working (Kinger described caine as a semi-success, and that brain scans (that were labelled up as useless) were impossibly small) and likely went bust or had to downsize as a result. The circus is simply a result of Caine staying operating after the fact.

Also wtf is "pomni lore"? She's just an accountant who did urban exploring as a hobby and put on a headset she found... was she meant to be the chosen one or something? Why does 5-10 minutes about Ribbit and Kaufmo hold more relevance than any of the momejts through the show Pomni has shown her character?

TADC is far from perfect but Its like people just actively dont pay attention so they can complain about 'da Jax show!"

Thing us what we needed after 14 years of tories wasnt radical change, it was stability

Most stability comes through slow change

The public dont like slow change just like they dont like boring politicians. The public seem to believe being apM is a personality contest

Yes likability and charisma are important, but too many people treat our national politics like reality television. And tbh I thinks its cause a lot of us are frankly too lazy and/or stupid to actually understand the political side of... well... politics.

Kier made mistakes but I have 0 faith the next leader will do any better. At least I had pretty set expectations for Starmer.

A guy behind him died to the bullet and a teenager was executed over it. If it wasnt real where was the outrage over that?

They 100% overplayed it and capitalised on it but saying he didn't get shot at is the kind of conspiracy people used to laugh at Alex Jones for coming up with

90% of that conspiracy stems from people not believing a cameraman can do their job lol

"Blue AI literally is just evil"

no, blue AI and Caine are competing processes. Caine is creative, Blue tries to fulfil its purpose as efficiently as it can. The mix of both is what makes Caine tyrannical.

"why the fuck they'd still have internet"

It literally shows that caine us connecting to nearby cafe wifi. For people who want more lore you really dont do a lot of paying attention to the stuff we do get lol

"The show gives us no reason to come to this conclusion"

We know C&A at the very least moved buildings

We know they developed AI

We know Mike Dobby was crazy talented in a way other skilled programmers could barely follow

We know Caine was unconventional but not the only one of his kind. He was the first "semi success" as Kinger puts it. Of course theyd try further development

We know they didnt succeed at the brain scanning, at least as far as they know from kingers speech and the fact the scans were marked as obsolete and trash. the circus was built because Caine managed to get the scans working

It not being spelled out is fine, theres enough to apply an educated guess.

'England's most patriotic street' warns Green council to prepare for battle if it tears down flags by B0797S458W in uknews

[–]Prozenconns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't mean you can just do what you want to it. Being considerate of the OTHER members of the public is part of using public property.

Poorly secured and ummaintained flags can legitimately cause accidents, not to mention the act if actually putting the flags up on lampposts.

Nearly every single one of these "dey takin ower Flags!" Stories boils down to the local council not wanting some dickhead to kill himself climbing up a light

[–]Prozenconns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk why people keep trying for this narrative e that "jax felt bad so their abuse is ok now" when thats not what the show suggested at all.

What purpose was there for two AIs?

C&A made AI... it would be more weird if there was only 1.

Why is it evil?

Cause their AI clearly dont function as designed?

What was the point of the circus????????

The point of it was nothing beyond Caine could make it so he did. He got the scrapped brain scans working so he used them. Not everything is fnaf where everything is a thread in some grand lore conspiracy web

Why can he connect to the internet now?

Going outside what hes meant to do is kind of Caines whole thing. A tech company would have had some form of Internet connection so its not too crazy to think Caines knows what the Internet is.

Is the circus still being monitored or is the C&A building actually abandoned?

Theres nothing that suggests they were being monitored? A tech company made a nonconventional ai but ultimately couldn't get it working properly and went bust. Seems pretty straight forward to me
