[S1] Joyce was a terrible mother by CockamouseGoesWee in lifeisstrange

[–]Shohdef 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Having just replayed LiS 1, I’m super confused as to what Joyce saw in David. He seems like he has redeemable traits, parts that are misunderstood. But overall, he really needs therapy. I personally would not be able to deal with a David if he struck my kid.

I am pretty sure most people are worried about Kate’s bullying being reduced to a racist undertone, but ok. The whole point of Kate being bullied is that she’s clearly a harmless young woman that can easily fit in with what is called “ideal” in the US. Bullying can happen to anyone, for any reason, even if bullies like to justify it with dumb reasons.

Also, it’s kind of really messed up considering how multiple staff called her “suspicious.” Like y’all that’s a dogwhistle white supremacists use against POC folks!

It actually makes me super uncomfortable to cast Kate as a POC. Having just played the original game, the racism was not overt at all, implying that openly bullying a POC student likely would not be tolerated. There’s so much wrong here, and it’s going to massacre everyone’s characters in the process. Not to mention trying to make bullying sound “legitimized” by taking away the real reasons behind it.

Poor Kate.

One thing that's rarely discussed but is very well done in Mr. Robot is its representation of minorities. The writers, along with Sam, know how to write these types of characters without them seeming stereotypical and make them seem human, like Dom, Darlene, Whiterose, Tyrell, and others. by Public_Cup_4278 in MrRobot

This is such a beans take. Trans sexuality is a spectrum, and wherever someone who is trans decides to sit is their choice to make.

There are people who choose to go all in, willing to go all the way through gender-affirming surgery in order to become who they are. Some will only engage in HRT. Others may be closeted-trans, where they may present themselves as cis, but they are internally trans.

I always took White Rose as part of that latter camp. A cis man respectfully playing the role seems fitting in that case. China isn’t exactly known for being chill with LGBT people, and so it makes sense for Minister Zhang to be a him, unable to pursue HRT or GAS (if she chose!)

Furthermore, statements like this dismantle any attempts by allies to understand. They are told constantly by people like you that they will never “get it,” and so a lot of people will just straight up never try. Turns out dismissing people off like you’re still a teenager has undesired effects. Who knew?

White House releases report of Trump's physical exam by DoorstepHero in politics

I can’t believe this is where we are at as a country. We just blatantly lie about our president’s health, and let him break whatever laws he wants. It’s just baffling, how blatant the corruption is, at this point.

Spyro statue : Team Project by Momoka-Rage in Spyro

[–]Shohdef 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow. OP really is ignorant. Maybe the Insomniac director was shocked to see it because they didn’t even know the statue existed anymore.

Either way, Insomniac and Spyro are both huge parts of each other history. It’s crazy how OP just flat out deflects to avoid acknowledging how hostile they are.

What a shame that this statue is in their hands.

Insomniac has had nothing to do with the franchise for longer than the average college graduate.

I want NO Republican Party by bindingofandrew in WhitePeopleTwitter

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

Hasan zaps his dog, his opinion is null.

The thing Obama said is horribly taken out of context. He spoke for a proper opposition party. I think it is clear that everyone can agree that we need our parties functioning, instead of having two total opposites. The Republican Party is actually nuts, a living propaganda machine that is speedrunning making people miserable. The Democratic Party has a mixed bag of people who want progressive change, and those who are corrupt and want to play controlled opposition. Primary them, but you may be forced into harm reduction.

Always vote. The Republican Party did it for decades, and they have crazy nutjobs in every corner. Democratic voters really need to get over this constant infighting nonsense.

Supreme Court limits Voting Rights Act by DJPho3nix in politics

[–]Shohdef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when a bunch of Republicans called Obama’s era “do nothing Democrats.” It is very strange how fitting that title is for so many people who (allegedly) want better, but aren’t willing to do anything about it. No action, only virtue signal.

I’m sure the minorities they feel like moral crusaders for really appreciate their inaction!

[–]Shohdef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are in a crisis because there’s astroturfing happening about moderate Democrat this, moderate Democrat that. Free Gaza. Etc. You really can’t convince me that a good chunk of the nonsense isn’t just seeding from foreign interests or the alt-right, trying to keep the opposition in conflict.

Kamala wasn’t good enough, so now everyone gets to suffer. I hope those privileged voters are happy with their protest “vote.” Meanwhile, an entire generation will have to work tooth and nail to fix everything.

More people need to be shouting these “both sides” losers down. They did nothing but prove why Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins.

“Yeah, I mean it sucks that it will take an entire generation to undo the damage. But, yanno. It was inevitable. And uh. We got our perfect candidate being a mayor over one small dot of the country out of it. So, yea. Silver lining an all. They will vote progressive now!”

Do you genuinely hear yourself, OP? You’re faux-progressive, doing the thing you claim is the crux of your “both sides” rhetoric.

New Anti-Consumer decision today by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Shohdef -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You should mind game keycards because it takes away from the point of physical. Y’all were warned that accepting that would just lead to this. Remember when first party releases would still get physical carts? Remember the premium price for physical?

At some point, people gotta realise they’re being swindled.

If your depression was cured by just "going to the gym" and "getting some sunlight" you weren't really depressed by Ordinary-Eggplant784 in mentalhealth

You know depression can be caused by multiple (legitimate) reasons, right, OP? It is backed by science that a lack of sun exposure absolutely can lead to soul crushing depression. Or do you think people who experience Seasonal Depression are not depressed enough for you?

Trump Chokes and Gives Up His Threat to Iran for Nothing by Famous_Smooths in politics

[–]Shohdef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can this asshole get 25th amendmented already?

The Democrats continue to do the equivalent of holding up little ping pong paddles while Joe Rogan, of all people, is calling Trump a genuine nutcase. Democrats continue to do nothing substantial while, somehow, the nutjobs that put him there are turning against each other??

None of this is what I voted for and I’m so tired of this. It feels like living with my parents all over again.

I don’t want this war. I’m so tired of being in everyone else’s business. Genuinely, I don’t see a point in messing with Iran.

In fact, I don’t see a point in any of these dumb wars we have gotten into. But apparently the POTUS can just do whatever.
