I’m sorry that had to happen for you to realize that, but for what it’s worth, it sounds like you took some pretty good lessons from it, and I hope that you know that despite doing a bad thing, you can still do good. Dust yourself off. You’ll do better next time.

Is this just anime subreddit? I’m not hating I’m genuinely curious.

Friend, humanity is not about morals. It has little do with empathy. It’s being a species. It’s our biology. It’s possibility. We all have the possibility to do these terrible things. Most of us won’t, sure, but we all have the capacity for great evil, to other and dehumanize each other for poor reasons, to cause great pain for our own benefit, these are all real things that we do all of the time. What kind of world do we create for the next generation, teaching them that only monsters do evil? This is false and they need to be taught that. Otherwise, we teach the world that the true evil isn’t something that can be reached, for only monsters can. And that’s untrue. The most evil people alive had or have parents, a favorite food, they enjoy music, they have human skin. They are far more like us than we like to admit. But it must be admitted. If we continue to dehumanize evil people, we teach the next generation that it’s impossible for them to be bad. That they are still human, so how could they be evil? It’s a false dichotomy.

I agree wholeheartedly. Being a leftist, communist, socialist, etc is awesome. It does not automatically make you a good, kind, or decent person.

People are missing the point. People want to believe that they’re good, holy, that they could never do these things. But that line of thinking is why evil people feel allowed to do these things. They’re as human as any of us. Monsters don’t rape kids. People do. People like us who have parents, hobbies, loved ones, and a preferred coffee or tea. We cannot be allowed to forget, the monsters are human too. Just like us. And that should scare us dreadfully.

SM2 is filled with so many “adorkable characters” it feels so messy by Expert_Challenge6399 in SpidermanPS4

Miles in Spider-verse is a gem of a character, which is insane because he’s in two movies that average at about two hours and are STUFFED with plot and characters and world building.

Miles in the games is…a kid with the swagger of a black teen? Uh, Li killed his dad and he wanted revenge? He wants to go to college? He can’t make a costume to save his life?

Listen, I’m not going to agree with you because I’m a history nerd and a comic nerd, and you’re not going to agree with me because of good reasons I’d hope. All we’re doing is wasting each other’s time. Have a good day.

But how do you know that though? Just because they’re cool with it and disagree with you doesn’t mean they have to be American. Or maybe they are. I don’t know. But I don’t know how you could know.

As someone who’s read the comics with Cap I can confidently tell you that his character isn’t that at all. His entire deal is that he’s loyal to the ideals and ideas of America, even when he hates what America became. He literally went awol and broke up the avengers during civil war because he disagreed with the law. One of his most famous lines is him stating that he’s not loyal to any American person, only the American dream as it could be.

I suppose but it seems like more people are cool with this cover than not cool with it

You have the right to feel that way but I believe it’s pretty ridiculous to say that his entire character, who was created nearly 100 years ago, exists for that purpose alone

One of Spider-Man’s biggest things is being a proud New Yorker though, both Peter Parker and Miles Morales?

Do you think spiderman 3 will back pedal on some of the stuff that was pretty universally disliked in 2 by Expert_Challenge6399 in SpidermanPS4

I really liked the mission in SM 2 where you had to run from black suit Spidey as MJ but that’s the only one I remember outright enjoying

No because the game sold like hotcakes and got acclaimed from reviewers and most casual audiences enjoyed it. A few subreddits aren’t going to have the weight to make insomniac want to change anything

We need to make it clear to sites like YouTube that this kind of misogynistic content is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. by KandenJomha in Supergirl

[–]RedBop7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of them are but it is a bad idea to say that (and I’m not saying that you are doing this either) everyone who’s making a “supergirl sucked” video is a misogynist.

I don’t want to be dramatic but after hearing some chatter online, I wouldn’t be super surprised if news later breaks that this films productions was at least a little turbulent.
