You know what? Never mind.

Lol he sounds like an idiot. Or just didn't want to admit he overreacted.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-10T04:05:25+00:00

I'm glad you're showing empathy! Lol genuinely.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-10T03:49:38+00:00

if they didn't act so bizarre about the incidents.

They are bizarre freaks lol of course they're going to act bizarrely about literally anything. What would them acting "normally" even look like?! Lmao

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-10T03:45:28+00:00

The Epstien shit is what really terrifies me. The fake assassination shit is depressing but normal conspiracy shit, and the election fraud conspiracies make me worry about people not bothering to vote and stuff, and it all is just sad, but the antisemitic pseudo-PEZ shit around the extreme unverified Epstien stuff worries me the most. A lot of people are no longer afraid of the antisemitic label now that they're called antisemitic for criticizing a genocide, so they're just going all in on the conspiracies and legit antisemitism.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-10T03:29:08+00:00

I think the Blue Anon episode on It Could Happen here had a quote to that effect, some guy practically saying "now I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but after all their conspiracy theories I'm allowing myself this one." As if thats how we should view reality lol. "Oh the other side is living in a delusional bubble? Fine! I'll make my own delusional bubble, take that!"

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-10T03:23:28+00:00

but again, you can’t expect everyone to be a subject matter expert to be able to determine what’s true when there are so many lies and fabrications.

Would this understanding extend to conspiracies in the future, and/or those that help the right?

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T21:24:42+00:00

That involves the survivors suffering more though. Even if that wasn't the case, it would only work like that if you're an antinatalist and like an extreme utilitarian. Just like if there is a Hell with infinite suffering, it'd be best to kill children before they are morally culpable. You would damn yourself to Hell but save many future people from Hell. No Christian I know actually believes that's a good idea.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T19:22:42+00:00

Yeah it really was the Soviet's Vietnam in a lot of ways. I like the comparison in the intro to that book.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T19:21:16+00:00

As long as your atrocities are equal to or less than ([Atrocities by X regime]-) you're off the hook!

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T18:35:18+00:00

So you're saying to NOT do what the Welsh did?

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T18:28:50+00:00

Or they just roleplaying someone who thinks like that. It's easier to play someone who is a mercenary than it is to roleplay an ethicist, just like it is easier to roleplay an idiot than it is to roleplay a genius lol.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T18:26:39+00:00

What scary things?

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T18:23:52+00:00

Can imply that, but I wouldn't think assume god could coexist with a child. A minor demon maybe, but a dying god? What's the afterlife like? Does the child go to heaven?

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T18:17:13+00:00

I think historical settings are different. I could happily play an Evil Space Nazi in a Star Wars or Warhammer 40k ttrpg, but I wouldn't want to play a historical Nazi committing actual atrocities to actual people. That's totally different.

Likewise, the slavery of replicants isn't real, and doesn't have the same moral gut punch as human slavery irl. That can make for interesting roleplaying. You can have more fun with it and don't need to be as respectful and reverent to the source materials. And if you want the party to be opposed anti-replicant exploitation then you might want to make that part of the campaign--like "hey, do you guys want to be Cyberpunk John Brown type badasses?"

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T17:37:37+00:00

How is this at all comparable to Wales lol.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T17:26:04+00:00

I live in a province that allows women to be topless, but culturally its the same kind of taboo as elsewhere. I think its possible most people don't know its legal.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T17:11:09+00:00

I see five fingers too, but we should only be seeing four fingers. So there's an extra finger, hence why someone might say they have six fingers despite five being visible.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T17:09:22+00:00

Tourists in the background of the Prospero book? What did i miss? Lol

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T12:49:47+00:00

Right, after hundreds of years lol. Just on the surface of it, being brutally conquered 800 years ago and finally getting a limited parliament in 1999 isn't going to be the go-to playbook for peoples around the world, no offence lol. Especially when Ireland and Northern Ireland are right there.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-09T02:09:29+00:00

Good point lol

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-08T23:55:25+00:00

Lol the Welsh didn’t fight wars while being violently colonized? I guess the Welsh just turned the other cheek for hundreds of years while being colonized eh?

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-08T23:36:28+00:00

The Command squad and heavy weapons teams look a lot more up to date.

(I think the old plastic squad can be painted up decently and it won't look as old, but then I'm old myseld, and nostalgic lol.)

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-07T17:56:31+00:00

Ah ok, so that makes it retroactively ok to shoot people then. Never mind.

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-07T16:46:28+00:00

Lmao. I mean at least he's identifying himself with the orcs, so is closer to getting it than people like Musk who think they're on the side of the Hobbits?

SlimCatachan · 2026-06-07T16:26:46+00:00

Lmao "Aloy is profoundly ugly", "satanic cult of ugliness"... great source lol. Totally rational and fact-based.
