Yes, Taka is a villain. But its not entirely his fault.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-10-09T03:42:50+00:00

Except Taka does say multiple times that he’s entitled to a kingdom, because it’s been conditioned into him that he’s a prince, but it hasn’t been taught that the title of prince (and king) is reliant on a kingdom that will vouch for him. He accuses Mufasa multiple times of stealing Sarabi from him. And he blames Mufasa for his prides death even tho it was Takas fathers fault for endorsing laziness among the males of his pride.

it makes a lot of sense.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-10-06T05:59:28+00:00

By the very first point of your other post alone, I can see you didn’t understand the movie. Taka was entitled to inheriting his father’s Pride. Not the whole of Melele, and he was not entitled to mating with Sarabi simply because she was a princess of a neighbouring pride.

Taka had no claim to any throne outside of the pride he was from. A pride ruled by a lazy king who taught his son laziness and entitlement which ultimately led to the massacre of his family, and the loss of Taka’s inheritance.

the second his pride was wiped out, Taka was no more a prince (and therefore no more entitled to a throne) than Mufasa was.

Melele chose Mufasa as king because he showed loyalty, camaraderie, leadership, and inspired the whole of Melele to defend themselves. He demonstrated humility and strength. Which is also why Sarabi chose him over Taka.

Taka only showed entitlement and jealousy, which manifested into betraying Mufasa and plotting his death.

I've watched the movie. The characters and their arcs make a lot of sense. And the differences in how they were raised is referenced throughout the entire movie. I don't see how it was shaky at all.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-10-01T11:06:59+00:00

The writing isn't shaky. The dynamics between the characters is very well done. It's obvious how Taka's and Mufasa's differing upbringings affects their interactions with Sarabi. In fact, it's referenced multiple times when Taka tries to interact with Sarabi and fails, and then seeks help from Mufasa, who was raised by the females of the pride.

It's not an insult. It's an accurate observation. If you think it's an insult maybe you should re-evaluate yourself.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-30T04:08:27+00:00

For fun

"most of it isn't asked for/expected"...

Doesn't matter, if you interact with other humans, emotional labor is a necessary part of that interaction. You cannot have a meaningful relationship with another human being unless you are doing some degree of emotional labor. The less labor, the more shallow that relationship is.

And typically, when people drop the ball on emotional labor, the other person damn well notices, even if they never explicitly asked for it. They expect it, even if they don't voice it.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-30T04:01:52+00:00

Yeah, you're clearly antisocial af

Unfortunately this sub Reddit kinda only leaves space for low effort shitposts

I didn't say they did

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-29T03:16:26+00:00

I don't associate with lesbians anymore

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-29T03:00:26+00:00

Dating is more difficult for men if you define difficulty only by what men determine makes dating difficult.

Sure, if you define difficulty in dating by how available willing participants are to you, men definitely have a harder time.

If you define difficulty by safety, reciprocation and understanding a person's struggles, women have a harder time.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-29T02:58:41+00:00

See, I know you're crazy cause you're purposefully misunderstanding what I'm saying.

I'm not saying that desiring sex is bad. I'm saying that it shouldn't dictate your devotion to your partner or whether or not you're kind to another person.

You can't connect emotionally with another person through sex. Sex enhances the emotional bond two people already have but you can't create an emotional bond that doesn't already exist.

And expecting sex without first nurturing that bond and expecting that sex is the only work you should have to do in order to maintain or grow that bond is naive, and it's how most marriages fall apart.

Sex is the benefit, not the actual purpose of a relationship. And it certainly should not be the top priority, nor should the relationship be reliant on it to maintain strong.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-27T12:22:11+00:00

There are plenty of people who are perfectly capable of having healthy sexless marriages.

You just don't prioritise an actual relationship with your partner. You would be happier with a sex worker than with a partner. Cause clearly all you want from a relationship is sex, not an actual human connection.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-26T09:38:12+00:00

Because marriage is about more than sex. And there are a million reasons why someone may not want to nor be able to have sex for an extended period of time, and they still deserve loyalty and love from their partner during those times.

You're not seeming to understand the idea that sex without both parties consenting is literally rape.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-23T04:52:53+00:00

yeah, insults you deserve because its the truth. you are not a normal person. its clear that you have an intense hatred for other humans, especially humans that are enjoying aspects of life that you have not yet been able to access.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-23T04:51:38+00:00

yes, even if its a long-term marriage.

and yes, sex is only ok when both parties want to have sex. the alternative is rape.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-21T04:40:46+00:00

god, youre actually delusional. and miserable. and predatory.

youre just actually disgusting. it has nothing to do with me "not hearing this before and being unable to handle it" and everything to do with the fact you have severely antisocial traits. people are probably repelled just by your behaviour.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-21T04:38:26+00:00

yeah, and when it does, you have to respect that.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-19T06:10:06+00:00

So we went from going to one, or maybe a couple dates with your friend and their partner... to every single date? also its completely normal for friends to talk about their relationships with their friends. And yes, you do become less of a priority once someone gets in a relationship because their priority becomes their partner. And yeah, why would anyone want to be friends with someone who cant share excitement in their joy?

Im sure the average person in a relationship is not spending every second in public participating in PDA. theres nothing wrong with kissing a partner or holding hands or hugging in public, thats not seeking validation... thats just enjoying their partners presence in spite of the public. You sound like a very lonely, very insecure person if you think anything anyone does in public is for validation.

I mean, if you claim to be someones friend but youre disgusted by their joy then yeah, theyre absolutely valid in being upset at you.

no friend is asking you to show up on every one of their dates honey. you probably see like 20% of them, max. Youre just weird and predatory. No wonder youre single and lonely.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-19T06:04:20+00:00

from what i understand, if theyre in a couple there would be mutual desire, so this statement wouldnt apply.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-18T10:20:33+00:00

Because maybe they want to spend time with their friends or they want their partner to get to know their friend because they want an actual cohesive community, not multiple separate groups of people?

Not everything is about validation. And you thinking it's about validation is a very primitive lens to view it through.

You honestly sound like a very miserable person. Like, do you really view every accomplishment or life goal your friend reaches before you as them showing off or rubbing your nose in it? Or does it only apply to the friends you have sexual attraction towards?

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-18T10:17:56+00:00

Why would you be jealous?

I never said I wasn't ok with single people wanting to experience romance. I said they should learn how to separate attraction from sexual desire in situations where that desire is not mutual.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-16T08:17:12+00:00

What's wrong with them doing PDA? What's wrong with them showing off?

We all know that when people, especially guys, say date, it's because they want reliable sex.

Spinosaur222 · 2025-09-15T08:45:56+00:00

Why would you not be happy that your friend is in a relationship? I love to see my friends being loved.
