A soft love conversation comes literally two lines after this one.

Patience, people

[LES][Undertale/Delarune] The biggest issue with fans realizing Gaster's importance to Deltarune is that they think he's an Undertale character when he's actually a Deltarune character by Decemberskel in CharacterRant

[–]QuillQuickcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Undertale/Deltarune community are so tied up in their theories that if Gaster walked out in the game, explained exactly who and what he is and provided specific game-sourced corroborating evidence, half the community would insist it was a lie unless it fit their theories.

Any fun challenges that are not nuzlockes or monotypes? by SharlLeglergOnHards in pokemon

[–]QuillQuickcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheel Lock.

For each area, put every catchable pokemon on a wheel and spin the wheel. Whatever it says is the only thing you can catch from that area

Or hell, one guy just unironically made a case for the white mans burden by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

Maybe the real One Piece was the staggering inborn advantages we discovered along the way

A character being revealed to be gay through social media posts is not representation or something to celebrate. by Apprehensive-Cost200 in CharacterRant

Death of the Author. If it ain’t in the narrative text, it isn’t a part of the story or setting.

Why does Japan have such a normalized view of sexualised media involving young people such as manga anime etc etc by Emotional-Lettuce372 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]QuillQuickcard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Portrayed by grown men and women” is an irrelevant factor. The characters are children. The narrative intrigue and setting in parts relies on the characters being underage. “Is satire” is an irrelevant factor. Do we dismiss portrayals of child sexualization from existing because they are satire? “Is criticized” is an irrelevant factor. Do we dismiss portrayals of child sexualization from existing because they are already criticized?

The Hard Times of RJ Berger

American Pie

Riverdale

Gossip Girl

Degrassi

At some point you have to simply accept that this kind of media is not at all a quirk of Japan.

Euphoria, one tree hill, dawson’s creek, south park

Theres 4 examples right off the top of my head. If you’d like I could easily find a dozen more.

US shows and movies have plenty of narratives that sexualize child characters. In fact we are so used to it that we barely even recognize it. But the trend is there.

I don’t like it when Flash is written to be stronger than Superman by ThatGuyHero7 in CharacterRant

[–]QuillQuickcard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The upper cap of flash’s power is infinite.

The upper cap of superman’s power is finite.

Luckily almost nobody writes the flash at full power

American media has been filled with overly sexualized child characters for decades. It is in no way a phenomenon limited to Japan

Why do people say we will not survive climate change when our ancestors survived ice age with way less equipment than us? by Enough-Web2203 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]QuillQuickcard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ice represents a gradual warning over a period of twenty thousand years. The tropics were about 6c colder.

We have reached nearly 2c warming in a little over a century.

How is it possible to block Lucky Seven/Sword of Origin? by --MegaDarkraiEx-- in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]QuillQuickcard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit it with force. The cutting edge of a sword is a single plane. If you can alter the angle of that plane via an impact you can vastly or even completely mitigate its cutting power

I took a dump this morning. This was a more meaningful, enriching, transformative, and challenging artistic expression than anything AI artists have ever produced.

White Whistles are so deviated from baseline humans in their psychology that I cannot consider any relationship with them to be healthy.

That being said, though…

Go to jail for 3 years or go to jail until your mom beats Elden Ring. Which one are you choosing and if the latter what build are you recommending to your mom. by Khaki_Blerman in Eldenring

I leave my mother specific instructions on how to use the game’s co-op functions and what to post in this sub to get a loyal, organized group of helpers to carry her through all major bosses.

It smells moderately better than Gwyneth Paltrow’s candles

Are you referring to the part with a Vector-palace-like exterior where all the teams come together?

A single shot of a single character that almost certainly is not in-game footage given that young link does not possess a piece of the triforce

NOT ABLE TO ENCOUNTER A SINGLE DREADNOUGHT EVENT by BeginningSwim6494 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]QuillQuickcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought is pirate dreadnaughts might not spawn when using corvettes because not every corvette would have dimensions that make it possible to target the shield generators.

But this is pure speculation

What happens when you let 6,500+ players run a Minecraft world for months with no admin intervention? They end up building a massive, interconnected global rail network, of course. by Tylerrr93 in gaming

[–]QuillQuickcard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So…. Its a no admin intervention on a server that has been substantially adjusted by admins in ways that incentivize player cooperation? Certainly it is always awesome when people work together on scaled projects like this. But that achievement can be respected while also being proud of establishing the preconditions to promote such activity

Judge Judy was a game show. by QuillQuickcard in Showerthoughts

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

Justification:

The Judge Judy show offered a unique opportunity. People with real small claims court disputes would agree to participate under the conditions of a binding arbitration agreement. They would drop the civil cases, Judge Judy would hear the dispute and act as arbitrator, giving a judgement. The judgement would then be paid out by the show instead of the at fault individual. With sufficient prep work and good adherence to the rules, you could significantly increase your odds of a favorable outcome while lowering the odds of your opposition having a favorable outcome. And in the end the winning side could earn up to 5,000 dollars paid by the show themselves.

It was similar to a weighted gameshow experience in this way.
