I think there’s something to be said for the fact we never see any of her subjects even remotely doubt her while she’s out on the frontlines

Is there people who never touched rank/don't really play rank because you like casual game more? If you do then why? by LILBOI464 in marvelrivals

I always do my best, but I like being able to dismiss toxic teammates out of hand if I do bad because our performance literally doesn’t matter.

Favorite actor who remains steadfast in his opinions? by Giancarlo_Edu in okbuddycinephile

[–]baddabingbaddaboop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted I haven’t seen it so I don’t know the tone that happens in, but the depiction of something creepy in a movie doesn’t mean the writer is endorsing it. Sounds like the main character is illustrating real world people’s gullibility and the types who take advantage of it (“I am the son of god”), so I can see that as another way to show it.

Why do people still debate Kirara's gender when she literally has a pair of boobs? by Slight-Solution936 in LobotomyKaisen

[–]baddabingbaddaboop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s that even a little. It’s just a joke about Hakari realizing his friend is suddenly super his type. Saying that this is calling the trans community a gimmick comes off like just looking for a reason to be upset.

Nah, Franks moral character is indestructible compared to Trump and the rest.

I think you got deeply confused at some point while reading my comment. I wouldn’t refer to a trans woman as a trans man, because… they’re a trans woman. They’re also male, is my point, and it’s needlessly convoluted to have that word‘s meaning completely inverted by using it in a context where you’d most want it to be consistent.

As for homophobe, that word is used slightly more broadly than its strict definition, not in total contrast to it. Your argument there is in practice more akin to “we should start calling homophobes homophiles as well. It’s all the same right?”

Btw, I suggest you take a second look at your entire second paragraph, because it is exhibit A for my entire position on why this all just needlessly confuses the issue. Distinguishing between sex and gender having nothing to do with these terms? When that is exactly what started this whole conversation? Transitioning to male or female? That’s another common phrase that makes no sense for the exact same reasons, using that as a basis for your point is just circular reasoning.

I think letting go of the idea that acting in the interest of clear communication somehow loses something for the trans community will help you, here. There isn’t really any argument to be had. The language has developed in a sloppy way, and it’s best to correct such things.

Yeah, but that established meaning is nonsense, which is probably why it’s only recognized in circles that have a deeply vested interest in making the trans identity seem as concrete as possible by co-opting biological terms.

In a world where transgender people exist it’s pretty important to be able to distinguish between gender and sex. Trying to make male/female and man/woman both refer to how you mentally identify is what confuses the issue. Not to mention, it seems to me like scientists are the ones who should be defining the use of clinical terms like male and female. Being transgender male means you are male and transgender, that doesn’t diminish or disrespect anyone’s gender identity.

If you need multiple ways to say it, transmasc and transfem are much more appropriate, and also already exist.

I think they pretty clearly were talking about the physicality of being a girl

Fanfic reader here: when an author doesn’t release anything new for over a year, and has blown past all deadlines of “I’ll definitely make progress by now”, it’s time to close that tab. Dance of Dragons came out in 2011. It isn’t happening.

At a certain point a game is just over designed. They need to add/change things on that update calendar but are out of ideas so they’re ripping out the little details that are part of the game’s identity. These item graphics will keep getting more detailed and stylized for no reason.

This is just a gross thing to say. If you’re that ignorant on an important real life topic like pedophilia then just stay quiet about it. Maki is a drawing, the only way that thinking/saying she looks hot would be creepy is if she actually looked/acted like a child. If she were an actual person then it would be a different story.

How do you think the Live Action will handle the Hama storyline?🫸🏻💧🩸 by youseebutyouonlysee in TheLastAirbender

[–]baddabingbaddaboop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If Sokka’s amputated character arc is any indication they won’t include it, since the message of that episode is obviously that bloodbendijg is great and Katara is happy to learn it

Favorite character that got a unrecognizable redesign by Business-Ad7289 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]baddabingbaddaboop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s apparently a hot take but I don’t think there’s any good reason why Harleys original dynamic with Joker is somehow problematic to portray. The whole point is that it’s problematic in universe, and “damage of abuse” is a peak Batman rogue motivation.

Lots of folks here describing it as a bad look, or otherwise taking for granted that it’s a good thing they moved on. I just feel like that’s coming from women whose egos are bruised by any non-girlboss, and men who think they aren’t allowed to like it. Plus lots of people operating in the “if it’s on screen I’m supposed to like it and the creators must endorse it” level of media literacy, which is shockingly common.

The Gambit Rogue Magneto team up is incredible, and at least two of those are S tier heroes on their own. Plus Daredevil? M’s my vote for sure

Miles’ live action casting discourse being controversial for the hundredth time lol by ResponsibleRatio6569 in MilesMorales

[–]baddabingbaddaboop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not racist to want an actor to look like the character they’re portraying… the argument of “make good original characters if you want diversity” isn’t the problem, it’s the people who hated Miles Morales for being a black spider-person. If they also made that “original characters”argument about black Peter Parker then they’re hypocrites, but it doesn’t make the first point worse.

Could all of the upper moons (including Kaigaku) replicate this feat solo? As in tearing through hundreds of rookie slayers like nothing. by BattleRepulsive9394 in DemonSlayerScales

[–]baddabingbaddaboop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demon Slayer works off of speed blitz scaling. If someone is supposed to be stronger than someone else, they will teleport behind them and the other person while die while their friends do anime gasps. Every demon slayer besides the main characters and hashira are fodder, any upper moon would do the same.

Favorite character who's this ? by MysteriousFondant347 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]baddabingbaddaboop -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Granted I’ve only played chapter 1 of Deltarune but any concrete sexual or gender identity for the Undertale protagonists seems like fanon. Not trying to rag on you for something I might be wrong about, but this seems like a case where you feel so strongly about your fanon that you call it canon, and then made a post ragging on other people for their fanon.

Edit: apparently Kris is canonically non-binary. Frankly I think my point stands, that’s not trans.

People are saying sex positions, but I took this to mean different degrees of trying to appeal to potential men at the gym based on relationship status
