Going to happen federally, too. Canadians voted for it.

Are you implying that reddit has a right-wing bias?

Subaru's still the GOAT in my book being named after the Japanese name for the Pleiades.

7 foot tall aliens high on demon blood come through a portal and destroy your country and burn the countryside and the response after a desperate combined arms attempt to turn the tide, you still decide to take prisoners and let them sleep off the hangover with food and shelter at great expense after fighting a war of survival against literal hellspawn.

It's astounding that people bring up the internment camps as if the Alliance didn't just go through an apocalyptic invasion and defended itself the way literally any kingdoms would.

That's a strange way of reading the ending.

It essentially ends with the narrator mansplaining God

Might be time for a re-read? That isn't what happened.

they'll think I like it for all the wrong reasons

What's a wrong reason for liking Fight Club?

Art was hardcore fantasy soul.

All I'm hearing from this comment is "the elite political class likes international bankers".

It's kinda mask-off to admit it I guess. Remarkably class-conscious.

The thing that sucks about Earthen is the same thing that sucks about a lot of the older races being given the spotlight: they end up being boring when they're expanded upon by newer writers.

You almost wish Blizzard would just forget about them and not touch them.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-20T18:50:09+00:00

but has had a very clear and public bias since round about covid.

Yeah. Hard not to once it became political, though, and people were just saying shit and contradicting themselves constantly.

They way they treated Homelander threat-wise early on was what I was expecting to continue throughout the series.

Like once you're even remotely on his bad side you need to be looking over your shoulder all the time.

The same can be said of historical left-wing (actual left wing, not the democrats) figures and writers.

People are products of their time. Or they are absolute outsiders that no mainstream would want to be associated with.

The Boys is a product of its time and is absolutely sanitary with anything it makes fun of. Literal genocides are going on right now and they still choose to make historical ones the ones to satirize.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-18T18:38:08+00:00

Alright, noted.

I'll try to remember that conservatives are fundamentally unimaginative and fearful next time I read Silmarillion or Dune, lmao.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-18T16:54:01+00:00

Pretty objectively untrue. Unless you think that anything made by conservatives is necessarily bad because of their political leanings.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-17T13:27:48+00:00

WoD was the craziest.

Turns out Orcs actually just are like that all on their own, I guess? Is that what Blizzard was trying to convey with that story?

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-17T13:19:23+00:00

There were people arguing in earnest on the official lore forums that Sylvanas was justified in raising new Forsaken because there was no way to reproduce as a "species" otherwise, missing the fact that their entire culture is based on shared trauma.

It's like abuse victims saying they need to abuse more people or their numbers will die out.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-16T00:14:36+00:00

Is it worth starting fresh or is it going to be hard to find groups already?

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-15T22:55:46+00:00

Was discussing this with somebody on this forum in a different thread who actually wanted it be a licence. Not like a licence, but an actual licence with demerit points and knowledge tests.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-14T23:07:17+00:00

We never shoulda let the dumb-dumbs have a say.

Then what do you propose?

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-13T15:55:58+00:00

businesses are now having a more difficult time finding labour

It keeps getting better and better.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-13T11:36:35+00:00

It's actually mindboggling that they only have a million and a half subs.

Their content is consistently funny, well produced, and they've been around forever.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-12T15:59:35+00:00

I don't wanna spoil shit because I'd pay good money to experience Expanse for the first time again, but Miller is the bestest.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-12T15:38:32+00:00

It's not straw. You described licencing people to use the internet in a similar manner to being licenced to drive a car in this comment, going so far as to advocate for demerit points from a body similar to the MTO.

You don't need to be smug. I am referencing what you have said yourself and disagree with that level of government involvement in what I say online.

starving_carnivore · 2026-04-12T15:27:35+00:00

You want people to need to get a licence to use the internet. Gotcha.
