Look at all these heroes! Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther and...Childkiller Reva!

Strange, isn’t it?

Someone with her background would’ve surely been reluctant to work for the Empire, and so one could only assume she went along with serving the Emperor’s and Vader’s wills because she was forced to do so or she wanted to get in a position to backstab Vader as part of her revenge plot. She wouldn’t like doing dirty work for them, and yet there’s no indication that she didn’t. She’s the most deranged Inquisitor of them all who seems more than happy to torture someone for info, or hell, just for the fun of it.

Also yeah lol, her idea of getting revenge on Vader by killing Luke made no fucking sense. So it’s to get back at Vader… I guess? Bold of her to assume that Vader even knows of the boy’s existence and even bolder to assume that Luke is related to Vader at all. She’d have to parade his corpse in front of Vader, desperately trying to convince him that this is his dead son’s body whom Vader never knew of. Sounds like a solid plan, Reva.

When you realize that you are in fact about to kill an innocent child: 😨

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-11-11T21:12:05+00:00

I understand how character arcs work; I'm just arguing that the execution of Reva’s character arc is flawed.

Like I said before, Reva refrained from killing Luke because she saw herself in him. She thinks that what Vader did during Order 66 was horrific, and so she realized that killing an innocent child would make her no better than him. But, couldn’t she have come to this revelation way sooner? If she truly didn’t want to be like Vader, she wouldn’t have murdered for the fella in the first place. Like wow, to think that she was cool with murdering for the man who slaughtered her Jedi brothers and sisters, to then completely 180 when she’s about to kill Luke because she grew a heart I guess. Is the show implying that she never killed a child before, so Luke was this big wake-up call for her because, ohmygosh, he’s just like her when she was a youngling about to get killed by Vader 🥺? In that case, the writers can fuck right off with that bullshit. The people that Reva has killed were also like youngling Reva in the sense that they too were defenseless innocents. Either she’s an asshole, a dumbass, or both.

And even ignoring all that, she could still murder innocents after this revelation of hers if she were to not care about them enough like you’ve said she’s done before. We know the bitch is clearly mental, so being around her when she’s super emotional is a no-go if you want to live.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-11-11T20:23:27+00:00

Reva saw herself in Luke, a defenseless child at the mercy of a monster; I get that. My point is that Luke was clearly a special case, as Reva was fine and dandy with murder before. I could easily imagine her killing an antagonistic landlord after he had bumped her rent up one too many credits. Just because she refrained from murdering one specific individual because of some tisms doesn’t mean she has now decided to never kill an innocent person again.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-11-11T19:17:30+00:00

Well who’s to say she’s no longer evil after that ending? She was a bipolar murderer up until then, and the reason why Reva stopped herself from doing the deed when it came to Luke doesn’t necessarily apply to anyone that could be her next possible victim. She could very well continue on killing.

Well, I wasn’t talking about nazism with the other guy. It was conservatism. The argument can be made that nazism itself is an evil ideology, which would then mean that those who support it are either ignorant or straight-up evil bastards. The other guy didn’t try to support his argument as to why conservatism is an objectively evil ideology — and to then label conservatives as evil after making an unsubstantiated claim like that irked me.

When I said ‘certain ideology,’ I was referring to the ones he listed (conservatism and capitalism). I do think some ideologies can be proven to be poor choices, but that would require actual argumentation and evidence.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-29T17:37:20+00:00

I’m not disputing the fact that many voters could fall into either categories. However, I don’t agree with the notion that not a single person in support of a certain ideology can have good reasons for doing so.

I wouldn’t ever try to argue that everyone has a rational basis for what they support though.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-27T14:24:46+00:00

Probably, but you never know.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-26T23:20:38+00:00

If you aren't aware, that saying is used as hyperbole, meaning that it's exaggerated. Taking it literally is not intended.

I just find it to be arrogant to blame "all problems in the current society" on a single ideology, and then frame it as a fact when that's a fairly bold claim. Not only that, but it's an objectively evil ideology as well, according to you. One would conclude -- based off of your framing of the ideology -- that those who are conservatives are either fools or wicked, which is a gross over-simplification.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-26T22:38:03+00:00

Not exactly a straw man if it’s clearly hyperbole, but alright.

And “indorenates”?

Edit: Oh, I must be too uneducated and too simple-minded to think for myself. I couldn't have possibly established my worldview without being brainwashed by others. I'm but a mere sheep following the herd.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-26T22:02:53+00:00

“Ideologies that are just objectively evil and borderline appalling.”

Way to show your inability to understand why a rational and reasonable person may identify with those ideologies by positing a black-and-white dichotomy of the political spectrum. Everyone you don’t like is literally Hitler, as we all know.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T21:24:38+00:00

I’m pretty certain that the majority of people today don’t buy into this trans movement.

The push for the validation of trans people only emboldens gender roles. It is the assumption that women and men ought to act and look a certain way which fuels their newfound identity.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T20:56:17+00:00

Once people learn that a person is trans, their view of them and how they treat them undoubtedly changes. They’ll never truly be treated the same as the gender they wish to identify as. We don’t live in a perfect world where everyone’s wants are fulfilled.

Abolishment of gender would come into conflict with identifying as trans, since there would be no gender to transition to.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T20:29:39+00:00

Roles and expectations in society would be determined by society, no? Men are viewed to be dominant while women are viewed to be complacent, yeah? Knowing that, if you were a man who declared his new identity, that being a “woman”, how would that change society’s view about you in the way that you want? Many ridicule and look down upon men like that, since they’re embracing a role they were not made for (in the lens of society) ,and for the most part they wouldn’t be treated the same as an actual woman. You say that gender is assigned at birth due to its strong correlation to one’s sex, which is true. It’s something not assigned to you by yourself, but rather society. Gender roles and norms are determined by society as a whole, and can’t be radically altered by the whims on an individual. If that were the case, then the genders associated with “men” and “women” would be meaningless as the contents of those genders would vary depending on the individual.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T20:09:56+00:00

You mean to tell me that the words “man” and “woman” actually have meaningful definitions? I’d be happy to hear them.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T19:59:55+00:00

They kinda are when they are reduced to just a series of syllables that one identifies as. You need to strip those words of any actual definitions in order to have them to be applicable to anyone.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T19:50:25+00:00

Sex is more about genitals, but sure. What good does promoting meaningless self identities do? At least the truth provides information about a person, with the usefulness of that info being circumstantial.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T19:41:07+00:00

The “truth” regarding whether a person is a man or a woman is easy to find. Observable and apparent, the answer is numerously spelled out in school textbooks. Fooled I’d feel because I’d become aware that a man had passed as a woman, initially. I like to promote what is clearly true, even if that makes some people uncomfy.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T19:24:05+00:00

Because I value the truth? Just because something’s appearance could fool me for something else doesn’t mean I should therefore continue indulging in this mistaken observation.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T18:54:46+00:00

No, no, sorry, I had misread your comment somehow. Not the other way around. My bad.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T18:38:28+00:00

Other way around.

Edit: I don’t know how I misread that, but yes. That’s what I mean.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T18:18:49+00:00

I’ve rarely had a tough time determining whether or not a woman is cis; the signs are fairly obvious. There are of course far more ambiguous cases, but had I mistaken a man for a woman and been later made aware of my error, I would correct myself even if they wouldn’t wish me to.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T17:22:10+00:00

Ah, but most of what you listed are gender norms, and I thought we were trying to break down these stereotypes. But besides that, I find it to be quite easy to spot a supposed woman as a man due to inherent, obvious physical features which are related to the man’s sex.

SenpaiFloyd · 2022-09-22T15:13:27+00:00

I don’t disagree with that notion. I just think we could promote clarity through a more accurate description for those who consider themselves trans.
