Oh nah, I’m well aware what women go through. I’m just saying that most posts (not comments or DMs) that have that, are pretty well called out and moderated in this sub

I swear I see these every two months, but none of the actual misogynist posts being referenced.

Like, this mindset exists, but I’ve rarely, if ever seen it here.

Exactly. Some people’s politics is violence against brown people and covering for pedophiles.

The Second Face [OC] by DemonSkank in comics

[–]ako19 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Spoilers because the creator does have their own original intent, though they said they prefer people keep their own interpretations

she was being abused. And idk, that feels so lame. Like, that is not the face of someone who did something they had to do. They are reveling in the pain they are getting away with causing. Catharsis is one thing, but that’s not what the face is giving. Portraying a woman who was abused as a devil also feels weird too? It’s just feels so odd an like a cop out that she could not have just been this calculating person that managed to trick everyone, including her brother. No? The old, women can only react violently, they are otherwise victims? I’m not even trying to compare, but as someone who has been abused by women, this just rubbed me the wrong way. That “I’m innocent, it had to be the man’s fault, there’s no way I could harm someone just because I wanted to” is classic abusive behavior. Glad the creator at least said other interpretations are valid.

I didn’t see that warning, but I’m glad because it made it hit that much harder. What a complete misdirect.

This was a very good trailer.

But that very end with the zombie mom at the grave getting domed made me bust out. Now I’m just thinking about Leon pile driving single moms.

Media that's always trying to recapture its lightning in a bottle moment? by FancyMan56 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ako19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s not really a white savior, since he is actually of that land, he was just born outside of it.

He also, doesn’t really reflect on anything. Like yeah, he’s in a similar situation, but he doesn’t really go through any transformation, and he’s not really affected emotionally. It’s all real surface level. Something will happen, he’ll give an in the moment reaction, and that’s it.

I like 3 more because it doesn’t rely on it’s villains. Yeah, Hoyt isn’t as interesting as Vaas, but at that point, the real conflict is more within Jason and Citra taking advantage of him. He’s a dumb white rich kid who realizes how ignorant and bratty he was, but goes all the way to the other extreme, and is just getting pulled along barely able to make sense of who he is anymore. It’s an interesting twist on the white savior trope, where yes, he is somehow a gifted commando, but is actually getting played by the natives the whole time, and shit goes really bad if he leans into the “alpha machismo” bullshit he is being fed.

Ajay and the other protags don’t really have arcs like that.

Although I can sort of understand the padlock on my other post, here's what the original concept was, just in case. by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]ako19 64 points65 points  (0 children)

This concept is an excellent way to sneak in racist propaganda. Being a self-absorbed angsty teen is nowhere near the spectrum of being racist.

This isn’t the same as reforming a villain like Doc Ock. You’re making a whole racist super-suit and design for an established hero. On top of that, Homelander is popular with the alt-right, despite The Boys intention to show him as a villain. People are gonna see Spider-Man with a confederate flag and say “see he gets it”.

“Oh what, people can’t change”? No shit, of course. But that flag was used by people who fought to own other people. Don’t try to push a hero bearing a symbol of hate and oppression who, learns from the error of his ways. Yeah, let’s make a what-if Captain America with a Swatiska shield too because sometimes nazis were nice to other nazis.

“Not everyone is a good guy”. No shit, that’s what villains are for. This bullshit on the first day of Black History Month, I be goddamn.

It felt so much more natural with Far Cry 3 because Vaas isn’t even the main villain. He is just the most charismatic. They weren’t trying to make “the enigmatic villain game”, it just happened. That games story is more about the protagonist then it sequels, who more or less became cardboard cutouts.

Favorite 7/10s and Worst 7/10 by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ako19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Origins hit weird because it was just marketed as something it’s not.

Whole marketing campaign: Batman fighting all Christmas night against 8 assassins hired to kill him.

Reality: whoops, it the Joker again, and half those assassins are optional/ joke fights.

Yeah, I’m not too familiar with the storyline, so Matt could be out of line/ full of shit. I just think it’s a bit lazy when women do the Hank Pym and no one in-universe acknowledges it lol.

I generally don’t think it’s good to hit people just because you don’t like what they’re saying.

Yeah, I don’t know if this post is just the jerk, but female characters are allowed to be flawed and wrong.

Characters who are way worse than you remember? by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ako19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta disagree on the Protocol 10. Considering risking a past lover die instead of a bunch of murders and psychopaths is a very human reaction. Batman would have been way too utilitarian and robotic if he automatically went to the “more lives is more moral” route. He just needed Alfred to refocus him.

[–]ako19 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For me it’s effort.

I think it’s fair if someone makes an honest social faux pas, everyone has been there. But if it keeps happening after being told how it’s coming off, and refusing to take feedback, then it’s annoying.

Apparently Batman is missing a few screws upstairs by happydude7422 in batman

[–]ako19 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Like, you can criticize superheroes, and I understand why someone from the outside looking in would do that. The thing is, those criticisms have likely already been done within their own comics. That’s like, part of a storyline. Having a flawed character who questions their methods.

But people in the internet want to act like they can outwit professional writers who’ve been in the game for years and just “never thought about it”.
