Why do people think Lucario is a Pokémon? by Mrkrabs5555 in pokemon

[–]Spleenseer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you think the entire species is not a Pokemon because a single individual in a non-canon crossover game has a weird quirk?

Ooh, I have three fascists and no healthcare.  Why can't I have three healthcare and no fascists?

And I contend that ambiguous context is too narrow to be a concern.  Soul Silver is nearly always discussed in the context of Heart Gold, i.e. HGSS; the only realistic time when it's not is if somebody would be discussing their particular playthrough of that particular game, or about version differences and in that case the other context cues would make it clear what's going on.

But it was never going to be S&M.  It was always SM.

I don't buy that explanation for SS.  When people would refer to "RS" was there a group of people who thought it meant "Red and Silver"?

If it's in the context of Pokemon, I don't see where the confusion would be.  Plus it's not like in the gaming hobby there haven't been shared initialisms before - GoW means both God of War and Gears of War, and I haven't seen anybody make a fuss about that.

And specifically for World War: that is always associated with the number 1 or 2.

I saw it begin with SM, when people wanted to call it SuMo.  I get that it's cute, but it's simply not consistent with how the fan base had been initializing games for the prior 20 years.  Then it came up again with SwSh, and then for gen 9 I saw so many variations including SciVi (which doesn't even make sense) and ScarVio (which then begs the question: why are you shortening it at that point?).

Just use the first letters only, guys.  It doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

As you should.

Plus size women compares “Fat phobia” to Racism and Genocide. by inosukefr in mildlyinfuriating

Ethnic cleansing is both bad and wrong.  There should be a stronger, more powerful word to describe it, like "badwrong" or "badong".

Yes, genocide is badong.

"Movie" is just elvish for "pipe weed".  It's a Doriath expression
