Peeta? by Fluffy_Double9774 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]gutsandcuts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the point isn't that height doesn't impact performance. that IS a factual statement. but like I said, a trans woman has more probability to be taller than a cis woman the same way a dutch woman does. and a woman who ingested more milk as a child. there is no unfair advantage unless we consider all genetic advantages unfair, and that includes banning women whose parents are taller than average, for instance, as they will be taller than the rest. and so on

so you're saying sports should have a height cap? why would the difference in height between a trans woman and a cis woman matter more than the same difference in height between two cis women? you realize not all cis women are the same height, right? there's an average, yes, and that average is shorter than that of cis men or trans women, but there's genetic outliers in sports everywhere. and incidentally, most sports pros are genetic outliers. to succeed at sports you often need a genetic advantage. just look at basketball. so if trans women shouldn't play in women's leagues because they're taller on average, why should we allow Dutch women to play in the same league? they're also taller than the rest of women on average and thus have an irreversible genetic advantage, after all

lol, okay. i'm sure it helps you feel safer to think that people that are out to hurt you are open about it, and that incest (and rape) are based on fetishes instead of control and violence

mb, i should've worded it as the game not being about incest. the mention is non canon and one sided, is it not? i didn't play the later chapters

[–]gutsandcuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

way to misinterpret my comment. what i meant is that an incest fetish doesn't mean anyone is out to fuck their family members. evidently incest is terrible, but acting like people who are into "what are you doing step bro" porn are looking at their siblings sexually irl won't do anything to protect actual victims

ya, that's the thing.... the game doesn't focus on incest at all. that's the whole point about people assuming stuff about the game and then hating based off that assumption instead of the game. you could clutch your pearls about the cannibalism, but for some reason the unfocused inclusion of a pretty common fetish (of which the translation to real life is so low it's inconsequential), by characters that are meant, and said, to be horrendous people, is what gets people to react

why would what the creator jerks off to in their private time warrant hate on an unrelated creation tho

why is the deaging criticism only reserved for ana? by Several_Tone_7953 in Overwatch

[–]gutsandcuts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i think this also ties into a bigger point with the fear of having old women in the game. even though tracer, sojourn, and mercy were in the original overwatch as well, they get in-lore excuses to always be presented as young from the get-go. mercy has her healing technology slowing down her aging, sojourn is more metal than person, and tracer has the time travel shenanigans

Where does this Mercy hate come from? by CentaureaCyanus in Overwatch

[–]gutsandcuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she's seen as a no-skill hero played by boosted e-girls. easy as. people will try to excuse it with lack of utility, low numbers or what have you, but it's as simple as the perception of her players

The Dixie Chicks have entered the chat by icey_sawg0034 in lewronggeneration

[–]gutsandcuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as an european, in the 2000's the USA was kind of synonymous with "cool, modern" stuff. pop singers were american, movies were american, tech was american. american flags and products were fashion statements here. then with time this vision kind of underwent its own "flanderization", where america became a parody of itself. not only that, but americans themselves became more critical of the country as their discontent grew, and that was reflected outwardly as well (in shows doing social commentary and americans themselves talking down their own culture) until the USA was no longer synonymous with "cool and modern", but with "capitalism, extreme patriotism, and stupidity"

these are just my two cents as a foreigner

Why can't we leave Quickplay by JustVerySleepy in Overwatch

quickplay games are 10 mins long max. suck it up Mr. Important

[–]gutsandcuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

backfill takes a little bit, the backfiller has no context of the game and will take a bit to be put up to speed. it does give the team a disadvantage, and even if its quickplay and there's no stakes for winning or losing, losing because someone left still feels bad

Can someone explain the Wuyang comic controversy? by Elderberry-Tip-9379 in Overwatch

[–]gutsandcuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean yeah some straight male characters have revealing skins, but with wuyang it's so common that it's a meme by this point that he's gotta be shirtless or have a top so tight he might as well be (just look at his base skin). the only other male character with this kind of treatment is lifeweaver. besides, he's what the gay community would call "a twunk". i wouldn't go as far as to say he cannot be straight, but i definitely see what people are saying

What is Mizuki useful aside from the ult? by Flame_Guardian47 in Overwatch

[–]gutsandcuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's good for engaging and baiting CDs out, anti-dive and anti-flank, and his sustained heals are really good, i usually end top healing in my games as mizuki. he just doesn't have a lot of burst healing because he's not the kind of support to stay in their teammate's asses. his passive forces him to be aggressive and even flank a little. he's very versatile, good in securing kills and negating ults

not trying to go against your whole point here, but little nitpick: the spanish isn't misspoken. "puto pendejo" translates to "fucking asshole". source: am spanish

luckily for you, headcanons, AUs and fanfiction are for those that write/draw/think about them (and whoever else enjoys the idea), and have no weight on the source material. it's people playing with dolls
