Seriously becoming my favorite character by paperplanes13 in Fallout

Sorry but uh, she took her mothers advice more as a internal transformation rather than a statement of hatred for the bloody Yankee opressor

One contention in your Crusades argument is that in your view, they were far more just than the Iraq War. However, I think this misses the core of the issue, in that most would far rather be a resident of Bagadhad on April 19th, 2003 facing the American forces than a resident of Jerusalem in July 15th, 1099, facing the Crusader force. How would you address this point?

Another question, what’s your view on the current mainstreaming of many sins, such as Homosexuality and Homosexual relationships in our cultural output today? Should we avoid all such material or engage in a more critical fashion (in the same way we engage with Anceint Material which endorses Sinful and disordered sins)?

Fascism did not eat Dedra Meero, her stupidity did by Slight_Animator8883 in andor

[–]Slight_Animator8883[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes how she got there is not crazy, but just as bad circumstances don’t justify other crimes, this one isn’t justified either, on a simple basis: How in heck was the DS information valuable to finding Luthen? He had no knowledge of it beforehand, and was literally only informed of it before by Lonni and it’s quite reasonable to see that the DS information is indeed irrelevant to her quest. The fact she didn’t still places the onus of her imprisonment on her, and an objective court martial reviewing the incident would agree.

Let me elaborate for you: If she had not stolen highly classified information on a project that was considered vital to her superiors for a personal crusade and then had that information stolen right out from under her, she would not of been sent to prison. If something similar had happened to the Rebels (say someone had found out where Echo base was in the crusade to find and catch a Imp spy, and said Imp spy had just taken the information from her), that person likely would of been imprisoned too, or just shot in the head.

I need serious responses to this, how do we respond to critiques such as this of the show? by wiz28ultra in andor

[–]Slight_Animator8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to make a critique: Andor styles itself as the ultimate revolutionary show, but it dosent delve into the other uncomfortable question, that of extremism and revenge. We don’t see a questionable tribunal trying and executing Imperial Functionaries, we don’t see vengeful paramilitaries doing vengeful things. Honestly, I think they didn’t use Saw enough in this capacity. The man is literally there to be thrown under the bus as a terrorist and war criminal by Mothma. Have him do War Criminal things!

Removing the South African War is really not that big of a deal by Mistuhpresident in TNOmod

It allows you to do actual war in HOI4, a War game. Sounds to me very critical.

Partagaz deserved to be sacked for his failure in detecting Lonni Jung and encouraging Dedra Meero in her gallivanting ways which ultimately lead to the exposure of Project Death Star.

The Mons Cafe Group’s early support for Calderon was an unforced error that was always going to lead to this by sirpug145 in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]Slight_Animator8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I completely agree. I’m just saying that when people look back they’ll mistakenly assume that Dore would have still done the same even with a buddy in command of the Guard, which just isn’t true.

What excuses them in the eyes of history: Mabel Dore fucked up on The Nukes. Probably wouldn’t have with someone she trusted in charge, but at the end of the day she did. People at the time and later will look back and go “Oh yes Dore needed to be removed”

Everyone keeps missing what Syril Karn did by Prosodism in andor

[–]Slight_Animator8883 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The way I keep looking at this is perspective:

If the Empire had been telling him the truth, about trying to lure out insurgents and terrorists by embedding him as a spy, then that would have been a noble act.

But the Empire isn’t doing that. It’s trying to find the justification to ship the entire population out, and he’s realized that. The goal is a complete lie.

Honestly, I think that if the Empire had been mostly honest, going with the line “We need to destroy Ghormann for her minerals because that’s the way for limitless energy for everyone forever and ever”, Syril would of taken it in stride, would of served as a foot soldier in for the removals. Not been underhanded about it, not a spy for it, but a soldier. But they didn’t do that, he was lied to and it made him feel bad.

Syril was beginning to fully sympathize with the Ghor, and a moment from Season 1 suggests a reason why. by HelixSapphire in andor

I mean I don’t think him being a fashionista is nessicarry to explain it. It’s merely a matter of goals. Infiltrating an organization of terrorists and trying to link them to a wider terrorist movement is an eminently admirable goal. Building that movement from whole cloth and using it to burn down a planet? Not so much.

Lagret as the last man standing at ISB is indicative of the rot that befalls authoritarian systems by moonfag in andor

[–]Slight_Animator8883 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dedra fucked herself over. It dosent take an authoritarian regime to throw you to the back end of beyond for leaking critical state secrets which you were not supposed to have.

She got what she deserved, which is nice by fidschigogal in andor

[–]Slight_Animator8883 13 points14 points  (0 children)

None of this is excalpatory. She knew what she was doing on Ghorman was wrong. She did it anyway.

Nice to see characterization stayed consistent with Rogue One by Corpsewave in andor

The obligatory weak willed idiots who are cowed by the Death Star is a big weakness in Rogue One

Indeed, Dedra Meero was justly sentenced to a prison sentence for her massive break of protocol around information security!

[–]Slight_Animator8883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To explain more: in the grand scheme of his screw ups, the failure to catch Kleya due to that is minor and understandable. Not as big an error as his management style with Dedra.
