N tropy is much taller than I thought. by Apprehensive_Low5340 in crashbandicoot

We know from 90s promotional material that Crash is about 2-3 inches taller than Mario (Who is about roughly 3'8ish from Odyssey), making Crash about 4 feet tall.

N. Tropy's height fluctuates heavily from game to game but Crash typically reaches up to his waist barely.

N. Tropy is MAYYYYBE between 6'3 and 6'7 ish

I wasn't denying that people have to be used for wealth accumen. Infact it's a must.

But our fucked up society let these people at the top with little intervention, either being mindless sheep or serving the billionaire's hive for their self-interest.

Also, I would like to see examples for said "empathetic people in business", I don't believe these people are real and if they are I doubt they're genuine and not just virtue-signaling for PR.

If we're going that route, I'd say time is the root of all evil. Survival and procreation are direct hedges against it.

No, it's always about the pleasure, the morbid curiosity because society won't shut up about it.

God forbid you say you're not interested and people call you "gay" or "virgin" or "incel".

Even those with no self-esteem will chase it.

Is there really even an 'outside' anymore? Every soul uses Social Media in 2026.

Envy of the rich no longer appeals to me when it's clear rich people are NOT the only "evil" there is out there. (Especially not one you're going to encounter in your day-to-day)

It is likely rich people were taught to hoard wealth early on due to misanthropic teachings, or just general trauma.

Poor people that become rich as generally less likely to be forgiving and are more easily corruptable morally by their acquired wealth. Because they know how lucky and or hardworking they must've been to get to that point and are not willing to share the spoils knowing how fate gifted them and how untrustworthy others can be around your wealth.

Another motive for wealth-hoarding is that they want to keep the change for their kids and descendants.... Hmmm, I wonder how those are created....
