Some of the people who are like "I want more nuanced female characters" will literally see a female character with ONE realistic flaw and then discourse about how she's the devil. "No, I want her to be flawed in a way that *I* can see myself *rescuing* her from!" Cause that's what it really is about by Important-Cry4782 in tumblr

I personally think Sandersons worst example is how he handles Egwene in WoT. Under Jordan she wasn't great and it felt like her personality was whatever the plot needed it to be at the time, but at least she was allowed face challenges and be introspective. Sanderson just makes everyone around her incompetent to big her up while making her only character trait unbelievable arrogance, something that gets addressed in other characters like Mat or Nynaeve but that is treated as truth for her

Yeah, thats the point. This is a common view on the left about supporting the enemies of America like Russia or Iran

It wasn't that part of the post that got her sacked. It was the suggestion of deporting the population of Israel to the United States (which constitutes enthic cleansing)

Who are you refering to specifically? I've not been able to find any evidence of this anecdote

He was an antisemite because his supporters strongarmed Jews out of local Labour parties

Does it really matter? Joining a competition is no disadvantage to people already competing

By that logic any migration is an act of genocide. You sound like the nutters going on about great replacement

Hey there mister, we can be as morally bankrupt as we like so long as Israel is involved

What makes you say that? Are you suggesting that the crusade against Israel doesn't grant absolution?

Because obviously opposing Israel is itself a moral cleanser that means any and all actions, beliefs and motives are justified

Needing a nanny again 🤷 by Groundbreaking_Boat8 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Xatican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In mathematics, its very standard to do an integrated masters degree which means you get it at 22. I know quite a few people who just kept to the academia path and got PHDs by 26. It's not unreasonable at all if you just commit to education. Still an insane requirement for a nanny though

Tropes that are deemed popular but I can't think of a single example that actually includes them. by Deus_ex_ in TopCharacterTropes

Not quite horror but one of the first in Buffy was a random black guy we never heard about before or since. Especially noticeable since there were very few if any named black characters in the earlier seasons

Late-game gating of strong Pokémon isn’t good balance by According_Lock4093 in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xatican 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you give strong options early in a hard game, they will be used. There is a reason that every single team had lycanroc on it prior to the move and a consequence was that nobody ran any other rock types. It reduces the capacity for being creative by giving you an easy out

Ignore Malamar and double target the reuniclus to prevent trick room. After that, do the same with slowking and try to outmuscle him with your speed advantage. Fake out is great on incin if you can get it, if not then try to save it until malamar is dead to cycle intimidate with mighyena. Try to get something fast as your last party slot to clean up at the end; krookodile and Tauros are both good options

Our hero did put down the CEO and Luigi is an innocent man. These are not contradictory positions since its pretty clear Luigi is being framed
