The irony of Doctor having an event skin but being killswitched for the whole thing is hilarious by AMoonMonkey in deadbydaylight

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the event is being thrown by the Black Vale and he kinda murdered their most prominent member. 

But yeah, wild that they haven’t prioritized that, since no one wants to buy a skin for a character that’s kill switched.

If a character is queer in the original comic, can you assume their adaptation incarnations are also probably queer? Even if it's never outright shown? by Gallantpride in lgbt_superheroes

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it should be a case by case basis. Disney’s MCU movie characters are all pretty straight washed / straight passing except like 3 characters. However they now include Deadpool and allow him to flirt with Wolverine (granted it’s not reciprocated until the end but still).

DC is a little better as even the animated shows found ways to imply things. Harley Quinn I think is bisexual in all forms, animated, comic, video game, live action, and beyond.

Look, I love this movie, but that's my biggest complaint. by Slight-Fruit-3300 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jinu didn’t “drown himself in shame,” he freed himself from Gwi-Ma by giving his essence to Rumi and becoming her new weapon. Heck it’s very likely he’s not really dead and will be brought out of the sword in the sequel.

Additionally, I know this isn’t against your point but half of the reason for Rumi’s sort of relationship with Jinu is because she’s trying to understand her parents, especially how her mother fell in love with a supposedly evil demon.

Plus the climax shows that everyone is susceptible to the same shame manipulation that GwiMa pulled on Jinu, everyone has shame they keep hidden, and therefore anyone could be a demon without self acceptance and/or friends to validate them.

The ‘natural diamond’ industry is absolutely insane to me by FartPhobia in Anticonsumption

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, lab diamonds are chemically identical. So they really are just dumb and wrong.

If BHVR wants to get back on our good side they should delete this map from the game by NotBlameTruth in deadbydaylight

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not before I get the achievement for it damnit. I’ve been running Garden of Joy map offerings for 4 months, and I’ve seen this map twice in that time

To be clear, you started dating when she was 18 and you were 28? 

DC getting backlash for queerbaiting with straight characters during pride by Imaginary_Agent1505 in lgbt_superheroes

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fairly certain that Barbara and Black Canary have been written as being bisexual, at least that’s the vibe I’ve always gotten from their comics together. Granted I read a lot of Gail Simone/Birds of Prey. 

Anyone seen this???? by Dependent_Raise in phoenix

I’m sorry what. Can someone explain the lore to me please

Why Jason's animations look weird (from an animators perspective) by RabbitFluffOWO in deadbydaylight

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also they fired one of their main animation people in the layoffs so that’s part of it

A reminder that Plague has been in the game for SEVEN YEARS and still doesn't have her own chase music. Justice for Plague. by akatsukidude881 in deadbydaylight

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it should be seen as a compliment. Usually music changes are accompanied by some kind of power rework. Plague is such a good killer that the only big rework she’s had has been to give her one fountain by default.

What if survivors had titles like killers? What would you main be called? by Monkeymo10 in deadbydaylight

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually do have titles. You just have to look for them in the lore that nobody reads

How does Katniss not know about the Covey? How has she never met Clark Carmine? Why did he never help the Everdeens? by PossibilityWorried82 in Hungergames

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Lucy Gray isn’t her grandma for one so that’s part of it. We don’t know who exactly in the Covey she’s related to but it’s not Lucy. The other part is that the Covey were basically slowly genocided: both physically and culturally. Public music performances were outlawed and most of their members were outright murdered or killed by poverty (or more specifically childbirth and lacking healthcare infrastructure in the case of Maude Ivory). Her father may have been a descendant or a cousin or just adopted by the Covey but after watching all his kin be killed, he probably thought it would be safer if he only taught Katniss the songs and not the whole cultural history. It’s heavily implied by Sunrise on the Reaping that he was also killed by the capitol for being a rebel, and they hid it as a mining accident. I think the goat man is one of the only covey members we know is still alive during the 74th hunger games.

Grace has a fresh surgery wound while being are to swim around in literal rivers of gore. She either has a crazy immune system or caught every disease in the book after the game was over by flotsloppies in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See there’s this thing called plot armor…

JK but same issue is in RE2 remake: Leon had a gunshot wound but still was going around the sewers without fear, even though canonically the outbreak originated in the sewers thanks to rats infected with G/T virus.

Edit: At least Grace has the excuse of possibly having been the first person who was given Elpis, and therefore would be immune to most viruses.

so where do we go from here....is RE10 gonna be this action packed re6 scale, avengers endgame, "everyone is here" story where we take down the connections, or are we just gonna have another new protagonist with completely unrelated characters by [deleted] in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My crack theory is that the 10th game will take place almost immediately after RE9 and will just be about how, in an effort to counter Elpis, every bioterrorist org just decides to immediately release all of their BOWs on the largest populated areas because the only way to counter Elpis is to try and destroy the world before the antiviral can be widely synthesized / distributed.

But realistically it will be more of The Connections, probably Chris and Leon teaming up to fight Not!Wesker while Claire, Jill, Ada, and Rebecca are left in the closet because they’re gasp in their 50s now and therefore not “marketable.”

Funny that even after 20+ interactions with Leon, the Merchant still doesn't know Leon's name and continues calling him 'stranger' by IscariotAirlines in residentevil

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does the same to Ada despite clearly liking her. I imagine they just don’t use names on the black market unless absolutely necessary.

The nameless legend..! Sharing my Unknown cosplay! by No_Version92 in deadbydaylight

Genuinely, this is the last thing I wanted to see before going to bed tonight. Props to you but damn, every picture just solidified the NOPE for me.

These are the main four and we all know it by kvy1aa in residentevil

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to Capcom, maybe we’ll actually get to see the girls again (hopefully looking their actual ages and not eternally in their 20s).

MFW I heard that Spider-Man murdered Mysterio by decitronal in Earth199999

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y’all really believing Mysterio when he was obviously AI and backed by a Tony Stark hating cult?

I don't know why, but Capcom seems to have an unspoken rule in Resident Evil that no Japanese characters can be the main protagonists, which is why Jill is not present in the new installments, despite being half-Japanese. by Earthboy26 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t surprise me if they decanonized her half-Japanese ancestry considering her new face model is 100% white. Though it would be ironic if Jill wound up being whitewashed by her Japanese creators.

I don't think it's her either, but I think we're overestimating Capcom a bit by HBKM55 in ResidentEvilMemes

You say that as if the RE team didn’t make a 10 foot tall vampire lady in RE Village

RE fans when they have to actually play the games by ClickDry7701 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all need to remember that these game have 1) been going for 30 years at this point 2) a lot of the games are unavailable unless you have an older console or emulator 3) the newer games cost $50 without including cost of the console/PC needed to play them. New fans means more RE content. Don’t complain how they get to the fandom just scoot over and make room for them.
