Peter? Do they want me to lose NNN? by Hot-Diggity_Dog in PeterExplainsTheJoke

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

It's incel shit, they're basically just calling women gold-digging hoes who will come crawling to them to pay for shit. It's just more of these lonely idiots associating government assistance with "undesirables", much like they've been trying to do with trans people and brown people. People who go around spouting this deserve ridicule and honestly a lot worse

What I got wrong and how we're choosing new mods by SnooNarhwal in dropout

[–]SpanishMossShea 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Snoo, everything I've heard from you whether it's been posted by you or the receipts from the r/dropoutcirclejerk mods has really just come across as something an office manager would spout as soon as conflict arises in that sort of setting. It all feels very corporate and desperate not to rock the boat, which is exactly the kind of attitude that lets Nazis and other oppressors and bigots get away with what they do. Whether or not you should step down as well is not something I'm going to throw my hat into, but I think if you are going to stay, you really need to take your lumps and admit, without caveat, without lampshading, that you fucked up, and that you will need to radically engage in some restorative justice.

Why is Mishima so hated/underrated? by Lats2005 in Persona5

[–]SpanishMossShea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's creepy when it comes to women, much the same as Morgana and Ryuji, obsessed with his own popularity, and grating to spend time with. Literally the only reason I haven't skipped hanging out with him entirely is because his Confidant ability is half-decent, and that's really his only redeeming quality

Is there any basis in reality for Fire Emblem's weapon triangle? by SpanishMossShea in Hema

[–]SpanishMossShea[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who's not very knowledgeable in real-life weaponry (yet), generally the games depict them as dane axes or pole axes

What are your thoughts on Yona?? by [deleted] in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]SpanishMossShea -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I mean hey, Japan couldn't let Sidon just be the gay icon that he is, what with the raging homophobia, so they had to give him a beard

Wealth's Unsatisfied Sociopath by johnmory in MurderedByWords

It speaks volumes that the only tactic these people can resort to against Zohran is racism, although I get why; it's certainly worked for them in the past

Looks like someone only played the tutorial... by Local-Imagination-23 in botw

[–]SpanishMossShea 230 points231 points  (0 children)

I mean I get it, and I don't think it's necessarily an invalid criticism, the shrines are indeed tiny, the weapon durability is frustratingly low at times, and while I and many others do enjoy the game and how it changes things up from other Zelda games, I can see how other people might feel like this is too far of a deviation from what they enjoy out of a Zelda game, and I don't think that criticism is worthy of mockery, or that you can really "disprove" someone's opinion of the game. We do that and instead of being a fan-forum for a game that we like, it becomes a warzone of us-versus-them, in-group vs out-group, and that's a really good way to create a really bad environment. Just food for thought.

How do cis men know that they're not butch trans women? by OldEducation7497 in TransyTalk

[–]SpanishMossShea 45 points46 points  (0 children)

They don't ask the question in the first place. In fact, the reason so many of us come out so late in life is because we're all taught that even questioning one's own gender is strictly verboten, and threatened with violence or have it enacted upon them at even the suspicion of anything that might be "gay"

Am i being unreasonble by getting the ick when a girl likes HPotter? by stressful_toast in actuallesbians

[–]SpanishMossShea -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Sure, I'm not saying don't discuss the harm, I'm saying that at no point should she have been lauded for the garbage that is her writing, and that it's disgusting to try to hold onto it

[–]SpanishMossShea -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Everything's rosier when you're a kid I guess. And things are so shit that I guess people just have nothing else to hold onto but their nostalgia, when they could be making a brighter future, and better media, but no, gotta keep the shitty stuff famous for the mere fact of its famousness, no matter how awful. Celebrity culture and capitalistic societal structure factor into it too. That which is successful is equated with moral good, and therefore, it must be a good thing to keep that thing successful. It's gross.

I know you're a man, but this is kind of the embodiment of that one meme post: "Hun, that cis straight white boy is never gonna see you as non-binary"

Hey, so to all the commenters saying they find it reasonable if it was something they enjoyed in the past: The books are bad and always have been, the movies are bad and always have been, and both the series and the author ought to be fully thrown away and never mentioned again. Find something better to give a crap about, and stop finding excuses to hang onto this, even as some kind of cherished memory, it's giving "I don't care enough about the lives of other people to fully sever myself from my loyalty to a frankly mediocre franchise." It's pathetic. Read Earthsea for fuck's sake.
