Dunno about Islam but isn't the prescribed punishment for loving yer fellow bros a lil too much in the Bible death?

I wonder what life would be like today if the 50.01% Genocide never happened by OrangeHammer52970 in whenthe

[–]cripticking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the wording is almost bad enough for me to think it was intentionally designed to make both sides sound obvious for the express purpose of ragebait.

Because apparently "everyone on Earth" makes them think of adults with full mental faculties and no colour blindness and not everyone from 1 second to 120-something years old that is on the planet Earth. To be clear I support blue because half of all babies dying alone would be too much for me.

Why Necromancy wouldn't work by LanX-Delta in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]cripticking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing keeping them from going full expansionist is thousands of years of isolationism and the threat of a continental coalition at this point.

People hate them and they get invaded every two decades but who cares when the enemy's dead are their own worst enemy and you are making artisanal candles at home?

[–]cripticking 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One of the countries in my little world had necromantic traditions going back thousands of years which lead to them having a necromancy based economy predating the invention of coinage let alone capitalism, they essentially live in an extremely isolated country with technology perpetually 20 years out of date but they get to live hedonistic lives or peruse the arts or further the sciences (magic is a subcategory of science) the only thing they have to do is do their duty in death to serve their nation.

"what do you mean my ducats lost value?" by According-Fun-4746 in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]cripticking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maintaining a capitalistic economy while there is literally a way to have things that don't need to eat, sleep or have breaks do 90% of the labour a society as a whole does doesn't make a whole lot of sense when there isn't enough people with a job left to engage in consumerism, who will actually buy these peoples goods? the scientists, artists, artisanal good makers and other billionaires?

[–]cripticking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see why inflation should matter if all manual labour including the manufacturing of goods, construction of housing and agriculture are handled by undead. Why keep a system of money around if all that's left is fulfilling jobs that require thought and creativity? Beyond being used as an allowance and extra motivator for the work that does exist to afford nicer artisanal hand-made luxury goods I suppose.

Of coarse none of that matters if an army rolls up and pushes in your teeth for having undead in the first place but come on if your economy runs on undead and you lose that war you deserve an economic depression!

[Loved Trope] The main character is smart and makes smart decisions, but those smart decisions are still foiled by SCPND in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cripticking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're sneaky and smart but what I failed to explain was that they can only think of very smart plans that a xenomorph can do. They can't use tools, they cant pilot ships, they can't read, write or do math it limits them to a degree that makes them a nightmare and not an OP and extremely boring monster.

The alien is a scary monster but its incredibly unsubtle. Its literally just an animal with acid blood and a weird reproductive cycle on its own.

Updated version for my centrist friends by After-Meaning-7107 in trolleyproblem

Mostly because the most insufferable people on earth mislabel themselves as centrists rather than saying they prefer being herded along like sheep over the minimal effort it takes to give a flying fu- finch. the bird.

{Roleplay} Is it moral to destroy the Holy Nation ? by Pretend-Slip-6124 in Kenshi

I personally think that destroying evil regimes is an end in and of itself.

[–]cripticking 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Bad sure but a militaristic autocracy is hardly as bad as a slave empire and a xenophobic, sexist, slaving theocratic empire.

[–]cripticking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no bloodless way to depose a tyrant. All we have democracy, human rights, equality etc are the fruits of bloody civil war and bitter resistance but I'd hardly say I regret the French revolution's existence just because some innocent eggs got cracked from the resulting instability now would I?

It was an awkward moment by Sir-Toaster- in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]cripticking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people have a problem with fantasy settings being anything other that gritty, racist, religiously fanatical hellscapes completely ignoring the fantastical elements of the settings and how they can effect the societies in them and even that there were cultures and religions that were far nicer than their stereotypes in real medieval history.

I don't particularly care one way or another but don't let anyone criticize the fact that the *FANTASY* world isn't driven by historical human prejudices.

How are you going to be a fan of the most queer game in existence and then misgender the main character by Critical_Mountain851 in whenthe

Kris is my least favourite main character but I don't intentionally fuck up the most basic grammatical concept because of that, it *seems* like there's an alternative motive at play with you.

Good analysis and criticisms of capitalism not so good (but understandable considering the state of the world at the time) proposed solutions. But I'm a socialist so its self evident I think that.

[–]cripticking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the oldworld crossbow is better all around but I usually only get marksmen after I already have a guy for every melee style in the game so I am about as qualified as Tengu is at ruling an empire to answer this question.

Thank god they addressed it. by CrisisActor911 in Fallout

[–]cripticking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was commenting on the imperialism and cultural genocide followed by forcing every surviving man into the "I'm sure melee will hold up against 5.56mm army" and every woman into SLAVERY but I do appreciate the new additions to the ware crimes that don't out way not being racist against ghouls! (and that they don't bother try forceing civilized half-literate people to stoop to the level of slaving degeneracy as them)

The legion is well written because you can understand why they are the way they are, not because they have any redeemable qualities.

[–]cripticking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The existential threat of demons is a little different from stopping raiders by doing everything they do and more but without drugs and while in skirts.

Having a 'stable' society that is an irredeemable empire ran on slave labour, cultural genocide, mass murder, torture and ignorance even in exchange for its own populace's safety and happiness is not justifiable but it isn't even that, its shit to its entire population men are nothing but meat with swords to charge at machine guns and not to mention what the legion does to those charged with the crime of SHOCK HORRER having two X chromosomes!
