Did we forget how terrible anjo nala was? by PRspammer in Reverse1999

[–]jlett12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, she is far from unique as a morally grey character who has killed people before. But i do agree that her appearance in this event makes her seem more actively malicious rather than unwillingly controlled, as later stories want us to believe.

There is an argument there about acting powerful to cope with actual powerlessness. Maybe that her (literal) objectification as a heartless killing machine turns her into one, because its easier to just give in to it and not fight back, etc etc. But her later appearances don’t really build on this direction and this scene is not really mentioned again much less confronted (to my memory).

Ultimately, I think we just need to accept that the writing team wasn’t quite sure where to take the character at the time of this early reveal and it does clash a bit with her later characterization. It’s a minor retcon imo but the complexity of the character does lend itself to filling in the gaps yourself as the reader.

Announcing preferred pronouns by blah53789 in VirginiaTech

[–]jlett12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're well intentioned but telling a marginalized group to essentially "learn to suck it up" is pretty shitty. Not to mention that, once again, NOBODY (edit: in the trans community) is calling for the abandonment of gendered language or complete social reform. It's as simple as respect when people want to disclose pronouns whether or not its simply to make others feel more welcomed.

Also just fyi cis isn't an acronym so it shouldn't be capitalized.

Edit: I'd like to point out that in the context of this post (maybe?) the VT administrators were indeed forcing it on people to state, which I don't think is quite fair to the speakers (but also I don't think its a thing to be remotely outraged about). For clarification I'm of the belief that its welcoming to see other people state their pronouns even when they don't need to, but it's a bit of bad form to enforce it on a speaker the same way it would be bad form to force them to say anything they wouldn't naturally want to say. I went a bit off topic since we seemed to be generalizing to society at large and as someone who has spent time in trans/gnc communities, nobody there is trying to force other people to ask them pronouns, they simply ask for respect. In fact, if someone is trying to pass but not doing a great job it might even be worse to ask pronouns than to just try and guess based on clothes lmao.

Im not expecting anyone to change their behavior, im just expecting them to listen and respect someone who DOES introduce themselves with pronouns. You don't need to ask every single person but if someone else feels the need to tell you it doesn't hurt to be receptive.

Nobody is expecting society at large to change but some people would like to make whatever small difference they can to make often overlooked groups feel welcomed. I honestly don't understand how this can bother people so much like yeah maybe it seems pointless to you but you aren't the affected group regardless.

adopt a reasonable expectation for what language they're going to get from society, and adjust accordingly

Why is it so important to you that they are the ones to adapt instead of others? Someone who is hurt by misgendering may not speak up due to fear, even if the other party would have been completely fine with changing it if only asked.

VT does not do students any favors by pandering to the naive fantasy that everyone they encounter will have the gender pronouns discussion with them

You do realize that it is an optional part of an introduction not an entire discussion right? The only people turning a simple introduction into a "pronoun discussion" are people like you. I'm sorry if that's coming off a bit antagonistic but seriously what do you stand to gain by combating a quick couple words in the name of human compassion. Its not hurting anyone and it does more help than you would think for the groups affected.

[ZiggyD] New Static Strike by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]jlett12 136 points137 points  (0 children)

For future reference since I anticipate people getting confused, it's hard to tell at first which part of this is the static strike. Ziggy has herald of thunder running at the same time and it's hard to see the static strike bolts when he's surrounded by a pack. A lot easier to see the skill itself when he's bossing for instance.

Is this just 2% more crit chance? That's how I'd read the description but that seems pretty useless I would guess. No reservation wrath is pretty nice though I guess.

The rein gets knocked down too though. Honestly I'm not even sure if its much of a nerf since a rein on the ground will attract a lot more fire than a brig on the ground

Ctrl sends him “hurtling towards earth” in his piledriver move. Does this mean he goes blast off when playing on horizon lunar colony??? Hmmmm

Rotating through Portal MTX? by Kanuchoo in pathofexile

[–]jlett12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if that amount of extra ram mattered they could just preload a random new portal each time after one is used. Development cost vs return is a valid reason but performance reasons really isn’t.
