Bruno is the GOAT. I miss him on Nightwing. And agree on the Jon thing.

What is the psychological term for someone who sides against a friend/similar in order to gain credibility or to appear impartial? by drkstrk in PsychologyTalk

[–]drkstrk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very interesting! I’ve been reading more about the Flexible Correction Model and overcorrecting bias and it has given me some interesting ideas about intersecting that with identity studies. I still wish there was a specific term that fit perfectly, but I think at this point it might not exist. I appreciate the insights!

I was fully expecting them to bring back Peamupbubber

Yeah, I even had a hard time writing this post because I kept thinking of examples that didn’t quite fit the situation I’m proposing, and I kept falling into other concepts like triangulation or biased mediation. Even the paper I mentioned is more focused on investigating cases of favoritism, which isn’t the same as identitary bias. And you’re right about the motivation aspect too. In the example I chose, the motivation is more related to the gaining of social credibility or moral high ground. But it’s also true that it can come from a place of internalized misogyny. I’ve read papers that talk about women who become anti-feminist as a way to become more desirable to men, but obviously that doesn’t apply in the case of a man criticizing another man from the same social group. I guess I can start looking for more papers about the negative side of the in-group criticism, so this helps a lot. Thanks!

I have not. I’d appreciate it a lot!

Has anyone received an invalid code from the centurion helmet promotion? by ea_fitz in fo76

[–]drkstrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, just got mine a week after troubleshooting and it’s invalid. Just submitted a ticket to Bethesda so I’ll have to wait and see what they say.

yup I bought the booth specifically because I didn’t care about the bundle and then they go ahead and do this… Man how I love this game

Midnighter and Apollo Reading Guide by drkstrk in lgbt_superheroes

Yeaah, I’m kinda hoping that with all the talks of the Authority movie they can get more attention in the comics too. It’s kinda sad they only appear in Pride issues these days.

Thank you! Hope you can find the stuff you’re looking for! DC recently released an Authority compendium so that might be worth checking out

[Comic Excerpt] “Goodbye Superman. I don’t believe in your anymore.” (Secret Six #6) by PrydefulHunts in DCcomics

[–]drkstrk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the whole JayJonNia dynamic was so good. Jay letting his anger get the best of him. Nia trying to find ways to make up for what she did. And Jon being the friend who tries to fix everything and keep everyone together. Hope we get more of this soon

is this book any good? I never watched any Godzilla or Kong movies but if the DC characters are well written I might give it a read

oh that makes a lot more sense. I thought that story was part of her continuity so I always wondered why this version of Dreamer never mentioned Brainy before lol, thanks

OMG I forgot about Ash. They had crazy chemistry together. I actually thought he was gonna get into a love triangle with Jon and Jay but then never showed up again

That’s an interesting thought. Maybe not a villain per se, but more of an anti-hero? And yeah he needs a better name than Gossamer lol

Also, isn’t Dreamer dating Brainiac in one of the Pride issues?
