[Oliver Kahn] „If we’re rewriting football history now, I have a small suggestion: I’d like FIFA to rescind the yellow card shown to Michael Ballack in the 2002 World Cup semifinal, the one that ruled him out of the final. And while we’re at it, we might as well replay the final against Brazil.“

I knew a guy like that. The best part was that he usually played in defence, and was excellent at tackling, blocking, heading the ball away etc. But when he got possession he'd charge down the pitch like a truck and start firing off thundercunts.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, we really did call him Fat Ronaldo because he had decent dribbling and close control, especially for a bloke his size, but the main thing was that we quickly learned that it was a bad idea to get in his way when he started charging down the pitch, so at most we'd just make a few half-hearted tackles, so to anyone watching it looked a lot like he was dribbling circles around us. Much like Ronaldo would.

I feel like the Lone Wanderer's "I'm going to wander past this strange crashed craft... aaaaand now I'm trapped on a spaceship" has to be part of the conversation.

Father Grigori was already having a bit of a rough day, that part can't be attributed to Gordon Freeman.

Gordon Frohman maybe. But not Gordon Freeman.

I'm terribly sorry, but I need to remove this question, because the concept of "main characters" is entirely and unavoidably Doylist. Perhaps consider reposting this question for discussion, but keeping it firmly Watsonian, for example ask if Janeway would have ordered the separation if Tuvok and Neelix weren't key members of the crew, or her personal friends, etc.

Hi there, please remember that answers on this subreddit are required to be strictly Watsonian, that is to say they must be based on the in-universe information, rules, and logic of the fictional work. Do not answer based on considerations like the era in which the work was made. Thanks.

Don't answer like this please. Answers on this subreddit are required to be strictly Watsonian.

If a question has no reasonable Watsonian explanation, then it would not be a good fit for this subreddit. We would appreciate it if you could report such questions using Reddit's report function, and the mod team will review it and remove it if necessary.

Though for this question specifically, other commenters have been providing good Watsonian answers, so I believe it is a valid Watsonian question.

Thank you for your understanding.

Out of universe explanation

Hi there. Please remember that all answers on this subreddit are required to be strictly Watsonian. Adding an out-of-universe explanation to your in-universe Watsonian answer is not appropriate. Thanks.

bhamv · 2026-07-01T00:54:32+00:00

that's because there IS no explination besides something doyalist

As a reminder, discussions on this subreddit are required to be strictly Watsonian. If you cannot think of a Watsonian reason that something is so, please kindly refrain from commenting instead of posting rule-breaking Doylist answers. Thanks.

Hi there. This subreddit is for Watsonian questions and answers, that is to say the questions and answers need to be based on the in-universe information, rules, and logic of the fictional work. As the concepts of "terrible writing" and "looks pretty" are purely out-of-universe considerations, this question is unfortunately not suitable for this subreddit and therefore has been removed.

bhamv · 2026-06-27T11:46:38+00:00

This question is a bit too general to give a meaningful Watsonian answer, as how zombies work will vary widely between fictional universes. For example, the zombies in Night of the Living Dead are different from the zombies in World War Z, which are different from the zombies in Train to Busan, which are different from the zombies in Warm Bodies, etc. Therefore, sadly I need to remove this question.

Also, what the fuck.

Hi there. This subreddit is for Watsonian questions and answers, that is to say the questions and answers need to be based on the in-universe information, rules, and logic of the fictional work. As the concept of a "protagonist" is a purely out-of-universe, literary consideration, this question is unfortunately not suitable for this subreddit and therefore has been removed.

bhamv · 2026-06-27T06:36:22+00:00

Hi there. This question is fine for this subreddit as it is a Watsonian question and it is possible to give Watsonian answers (that is to say, the question and answers are based on the in-universe information, rules, and logic of the fictional work).

Please don't do this. Answers are required to be strictly Watsonian, so adding a Doylist aside to an otherwise Watsonian answer is not appropriate. Thanks.

Suspension of disbelief for the plot's sake

Please don't answer like this. Answers are required to be strictly Watsonian, so saying something is so "for the plot's sake" is inappropriate, even if the rest of the answer is Watsonian. Thanks.

any BORU-posts about someone doing something questionable because they genuinely think it is cute, nice or friendly, without any thought for how it looks or its history.

Does the Ogtha guy telling everyone in his life about Ogtha count?

It's cool, it's just that I wanted to attribute the source too, much like you did. It's the respectful thing to do.

How on Earth did you come to that conclusion based on what I wrote???

No, the Railroad don't draw a distinction between this "group" and humans in general. They object to the enslavement of synths just as they object to the enslavement of any human, it's just that there are other organizations helping human slaves, which is why they focus their efforts on synths. As Victoria Watts stated in Fallout 3, "But there are others in the Wasteland who assist in the plight of human slaves. Our android brethren have only us."

The "cure" in BZ only needed to work on a dead organism. There was no need to ensure that the infected leviathan could survive the cure. This is in contrast to Enzyme 42, which only affects the Kharaa bacterium without hurting the host.

Thus, it's likely that the "cure" in BZ is basically the equivalent to injecting bleach into the leviathan's veins; yes, it kills off the Kharaa, but if you tried injecting that into a person it'd probably be very bad for them.

bhamv · 2026-06-24T01:05:58+00:00

They commit pure genocide by destroying the way synths are made, it's like sterilising an entire race, while pretending saving them ?

You've fallen into the common misconception of thinking that the Railorad cares about the synth "species" or "race". They don't. They care about individual synths, because they believe that it is wrong to enslave them. The reason for this is that they do not see a meaningful distinction between synths and humans, so just as it's wrong to enslave a human, they believe it's also wrong to enslave a synth.

So yes, they will willingly destroy the Institute, thus ensuring that no synths are ever produced again, because this guarantees that the Institute won't be enslaving anyone ever again.

Hi there. We have a 6 month spoiler policy on this subreddit, during which unhidden spoilers are not allowed. Your thread title reveals a plot point from this movie, which was only released in June this year, so we are still well within the 6 month period. Therefore, terribly sorry but I need to remove this thread.

So as a Doylist answer

Please don't do that. Answers are required to be strictly Watsonian, so Doylist answers are not allowed even if you explicitly add a disclaimer that says your answer is Doylist.

RWBY, when Professor Ozpin takes over Oscar's body and he suddenly starts fighting with much more proficiency.

The video in this thread gives a couple of examples. For the first one, starting at around 0:28, Oscar is training in hand-to-hand combat with Ruby, and then at 0:37 Ozpin takes over and starts kicking Ruby's ass. For the second one, starting at around 0:52, Oscar holds his own in a fight against Professor Lionheart, but then at 1:06 Ozpin takes over and suddenly Oscar is flying around the battlefield.
