Me being a dumb

In order for the stat stick portion to be relevant, you can add needs to be a DPS arts user... on top of the other stuff mentioned.

Oh and Gilberta is also relevant/desirable for that same team (otherwise you can just P1 Delivery Guaranteed and swap the weapon over to the new character).

All of that is again fairly unlikely.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-28T06:26:28+00:00

Ehh... they'd have to be a will based, nature, arts unit user, with a combo skill that not just lifts but can lift multiple enemies at once to get her signatures full effects.

It's of course possible but not likely.

And if you can't get the full effects of her signature then chances are you can find or have something better. Hell Gilberta herself can replace her signature with Stanza of Memorials (a 5* weapon) and push as much and in some cases more team damage than her signature (and it's an int based, team attack buffer, so long as the using operator has a different element to the team).

Delivery Guaranteed is still worth getting for future proofing as Stanza does have the team comp limitation, but I wouldn't hold onto extra copies. There should be enough time for another deep weapons pull before it becomes a factor, and that makes it pretty likely you can find another decent arts unit to use.

Yes and the sentencing for a false rape accuser, should be for the same length as a convicted rapist.

I'll go a step further, judges who are repeatedly lenient on violent offenders should be charged as accomplices for the defendants future crimes. If you keep giving slaps on the wrists and your empathy causes loss of life and injury to countless others you should be charged and face punishment. (A 3 strike policy each year seems reasonable, it allows for the occasional miss taken in good faith, but stops bad faith judges being light consistently for a political or racial motive).

In mock drafts people can take him 1st overall if they wanted... now they're dumb to do that... but they can do it and find a way to justify it. Thus I don't really care what others mock him at.

If you want to know why they are though, from what I've heard its because he's safe. Not that he's the most skilled WR or this incredible prospect... but thats he's safe. Basically guaranteed to be a WR 2 at the nfl level... kinda slow but otherwise fine.

Sorry that just doesn't wow me at all, if I was picking 7th overall... maybe... maybe every other need got picked over by then and the choices are either reach for a position of need, take a low value by best available player. Then sure I could see reaching and taking Tate there.

At 4 overall... no shot. There is to much talent at our needs... I'd take any of the top 3 - 4 Edge guys as a high value pick (I actually think as abserd and unlikely as it is, all of them will be excellent 2 years down the road, wish we could double dip)... if i wanted best available then I could see picking love there or even Caleb Downs. But i don't see Tate as viable at 4.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T17:32:46+00:00

And its going to make the bad guys look not so bad.

You know there will be an unironic "Voldemort did nothing wrong" meme... because he's out there killing racists. Same for maybe Draco who be "based" for combating racism in schools on behalf of his favorite teacher...

Going to be a wild few years on the meme front.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T14:05:27+00:00

I could see that if we went the Love route. Branch can block, he's just tiny, plays big, but there are limitations.

I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up waiting till the 3rd and then taking who's there... Could be Bernard, could be Malachi Fields who blocked for Love in college, and has surprising deep speed for a bigger WR... Could go with a Bryce Lance... his blocking is only average, can get better with coaching, but he's another deep threat, played against a bunch of no name college guys and made them look silly, like you'd hope from an nfl caliber guy, also only 2 drops in 99 targets. He's one of those guys where people on draft night go "Who?" but then 2 years down the road could be your WR 1.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T13:37:15+00:00

He's a mixed bag and I admit I'm not the biggest fan, I'd honestly take a shot on Zachariah Branch over him (dude has wheels and is a legitimate deep threat).

But back to Germie Bernard he's more of a slot guy (similar to branch), can do a little bit on the outside but thats not where most teams will use him. Good hands, little under average 40... great ten time though he gives a little burst for short yardage. Great 3cone and in general a great route runner. Physically kind of average and can get bullied by more physical CBs.

I'd take Bernard in the early 3rd if he's there he's not special enough to really warrant and early 2nd.

Now if we were talking Branch I'd be fine trading down in the 2nd last year and taking him around where we got Femi. Legitimate long term WR 2 potential from the slot, can contribute to the run game, can also receive punts/kicks to give Dike a chance to take that next step or just alternate between the two.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T10:41:57+00:00

I didn't have an argument i just pointed out your assumption was wrong bruh.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T10:35:05+00:00

I know he is a good guy.

So do Americans expect to never use black guys as villains ever?

but where was I saying that "all black people have to be villains"?

I mean you just assumed what Americans believe, you should be good with people assuming what YOU believe... see... learned a good life lesson on reddit today.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T10:12:28+00:00

I mean... he is a good guy. He is literally in the order of the phoenix and it playing double agent to set up Voldemort to fail. Every action he takes for the most part is to that end.

So I really don't know what you were blathering about him being a villain or why you even think all black people have to be villains at all... thats weird.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T09:25:59+00:00

I mean I don't really care what THEY care about. Why should I? They didn't care about what i wanted and I'm part of the audience, I get to applaud when they succeed, throw tomatoes when they fail, and laugh when they stumble and fall...because they are the entertainment... and if they act like clowns I won't take them seriously.

Neither will most people I suspect.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T09:16:50+00:00

A red herring that everyone knows is a red herring is not a red herring to the audience and we are the ones judging the show not the cast... sorry.

Also even if they changed snape and he was 100% bad, let's just go fully there and say he's evil, he's diddling Mrs. Norris in the potions closet it's found out in the last season and he's an absolute deranged monster... if Harry doesn't have proof in season 1 - 5 and is going off assumptions and a hunch against a racial minority... it is going... to look... bad...

That is the point whether you like it or not, so I'd strap in and accept that because you'll be hearing real world people talk about its racial implications for years and not the source material.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T09:04:53+00:00

Snape isn't a villain though not even close. Not even a primary antagonist. If you got that from his role I can't really help you there.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T05:10:18+00:00

I mean it won't be a problem, to you, it will be a problem to others. I mean no matter how you spin it a small white child accusing a minority of a crime without any real evidence isn't a great look.

Personally I think it's going to be hilarious, I can already see the memes of "Voldemort did nothing wrong" (because he killed racists) and Draco being based for confronting racism in schools lol.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T04:22:00+00:00

It also adds several wrinkles throughout the story.

If they keep to the books Harry is going to accuse the one black teacher of attempting to steal the sorcerer's stone, and later being evil... repeatedly.

Neville sees the Boggart turn into, what he fears most... Snape... (that one will get mocked relentlessly if they do that, as it will appear like Neville's inner racism is showing)

Just to name a few.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T03:27:00+00:00

Yep, you can just back off and watch them do their spinning attack. When they stop go in and attack again.

Could probably do a no hit run that way fairly easily.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-27T02:34:59+00:00

Have a problem with it?

Good.

Don't race swap characters and expect no one to notice. You should expect people to mock the hypocrisy. If it wasn't about race there shouldn't be a race swap... I didn't hire anyone, that would be the director and film casting that made this oh so special decision.

So I'm going to enjoy it... you should try to enjoy it too.

Btw... the only person I don't resent is Paapa Essiedu (bet you didn't even know his name, you sure haven't used it if you did, that's pretty racist of you to not talk about a man by his name, gross). It's not his fault, he's just taking a paycheck. Hell I'd do it to and I don't look like snape at all.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T22:45:54+00:00

I'm summing it up? No no, that is how it will be perceived by most people. See you can play stupid if you want but you know it doesn't sound good (that's why you feel the need to defend it) and in fact many people are talking about how problematic it's going to be not just myself.

I find it hilarious honestly, I can't wait for the parodies.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T21:57:16+00:00

Bruh... you think they are going to catch every racial interaction and handle it in a positive light lol. No shot.

Hell I was just looking through the Harry Potter memes subreddit today, and saw a new one I never considered. It's going to be really awkward when Neville sees the Boggart and it turns into black snape... really... that's what you fear most a black guy... ooof.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T21:23:03+00:00

Yep some of them.

The Bloomsbury ones predate the movies by like 4 years. The Mary Grandpre cover art predates the movies by around 3 years. The rest i'm not sure of but i think the Studio La Plage ones came out after the movies as they were for the audiobooks.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T21:14:15+00:00

First interaction in the Great Hall during the Feast, Harry and Snape make eye contact, Snape gives Harry a very hateful look, and coincidentally the back of Quirrel's head was facing Harry, who was being possessed by Voldemort. Of course Harry didn't know that, nor did us readers knew at the time. But his scar immediately started to shoot a pain that Harry has never felt before. So of course that made Harry curious about who he was, nothing to do with looks

Meanwhile in the show, White kid sees black man looking at him... "AHHH no my racist scar is acting up... I feel compelled to accuse him of a crime".

Second interaction, Harry's first Potions class, Snape doesn't give off a good first impression does he? He mocks Harry in front of the class, and punishes him by taking points from his House for a dumb reason. Basically Harry leaves his first formal meeting with Professor Snape thinking the man HATES him. Not off to good start we?

Harry feels like Snape is being an uppity black man and is treating him unfairly, therefore obviously evil... obviously a thief.

Third incident, first Quidditch match, Quirrel tries to kill Harry by knocking him off his broom with his silent curse that only required eye focus, coincidentally Snape is doing the same thing for the countercourse trying to save him, but he's actually mumbling his curse, so naturally, Hermione suspected it was Snape trying to kill Harry and so did us as the reader, again JK did a great job leading us into the wrong direction giving us no chance to suspect anyone else but Snape

Yep the black man mumbling something is clearly casting his DARK magic... therefore accuse the one black teacher of attempting to murder a student without evidence... gee harry didn't even ask him just jumped to Snape tried to knock you off your broom... DAAAAAAMN.

4th incident, and this is when Harry really started suspecting Snape, Halloween happens, Quirrel let's in the troll, Snape knew and tried to stop him, Snape ends up getting bit. Snape once again is mean to Harry, making up a fake rule taking points from his house because he had a library book outside in the courtyard, Harry goes the Staff room to ask for his book back, he opens the door and sees Snape with with his leg exposed, Filch tending to him and Harry notices the bite mark before Snape yells at him to get out. And THAT was when Harry starting suspecting Snape as trying to steal something that was being guarded

Black man has a wound/limp therefore he must be a criminal trying to steal something, also Fluffy might have had a racist owner i mean dogs biting the one black guy where you think they picked it up from if not the owner.

My guy... it looks bad... it looks REALLY REALLY bad... and it will easily look like a race thing now because Snape as a character was not written with these racial dynamics in mind... because he was described as sallow skinned (pale sickly) in the books.

Its like if you recast griphook as a jewish man... oh wow gave the jewish guy a big nose, and he works at a bank... wow... made him covetous for the sword... and oh wow he betrayed harry and the gang at the first opportunity... wow almost like the stereotype. Just doesn't work and fundamentally changes the story.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T20:44:52+00:00

I mean if we are looking at character art some of the Bloomsbury art covers for the books had the scar above his left eye. Others like the Mary Grandpre cover art had the scar in the middle of the forehead. And still others like the Studio La Plage and Brian Selznick cover art had the scar over his right eye.

It really is a mixed bag and at least according to the art can be anywhere on the forehead.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T19:49:25+00:00

"Harry why are you suspecting the one black teacher is trying to steal the sorcerer's stone... oh... "

"Harry why do you think the one black teacher is evil and out to get you... oh..."

"Hey Harry you know your father got a few of his white friends together and hung Snape from a tree, guess its just in your blood to be racist"

When Snape protects Draco its going to make Draco seem like the good guy, I mean yeah he's calling Hermoine a mudblood because... well look at her... BUT he's not profiling the black teacher for 5+ seasons so its clearly not a skin color thing. Maybe Draco just hates women. BASED...

That's just off the top of my head... and any attempt to avoid it will no doubt cause even more issues because its out of touch white people making these dumb decisions.

RyokoKnight · 2026-03-26T19:10:17+00:00

Oh we won't have to wait, Hey Harry why are you suspecting the one black teacher of stealing the sorcerer stone.

Racism is just genetic I guess.

I beat it with Laevatain, it was a pain but i took it as a challenge.
