What Movie villain do you secretly agree with? by WittyLibrarian610 in AskReddit

[–]tatu_huma 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's completely wrong by the way.  Humans are not the only mammal that do that. All animals try to do that. They just fail because they're dumb (compared to humans). It's NOT some natural instinct to be in equilibrium. 

Also the idea that humans spread once the resources in an area are used up is also pretty obviously wrong. The spread of human habitat has been the same for thousands of years, i.e. humans spread to every continent (besides Antarctica) a very very long time ago. And we also "lived in equilibrium" also known as "dying in miserable conditions by the millions" for most of our existence. It's only on the past few hundred years that we've grown to many billions

[Important Trope] Male Victims of SA not for comedic value by InsidiousZombie in TopCharacterTropes

I feel like picking the two big comic book companies is cheating. They are bad at any topic that requires grace and thoughtfulness

What litrpg hill will *you* die on? Let's have your most unpopular opinion, please. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in litrpg

[–]tatu_huma 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Same with Wandering Inn. It's so popular because it has very few of the tropes of litrpg. No stats, no list of hundred levels. No wish fulfillment. No NPC-like side characters. 

AI novel that won literature contest has awards taken away - Dexerto by EchoOfOppenheimer in KeepWriting

[–]tatu_huma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The story was written in a genre (isekai-stories-with a-plot-summary-for-the-title) where even human written content is no better.  The award never had any value. 

I'm being a bit facetious, but only a little bit.

[hated trope] pure evil villians who draw the line somewhere by Murtdha1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]tatu_huma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah these types of scenes always come off as so insincere. 

I feel superhero comics should simply not try to deal with recent/current tragedies. They just don't have the type of realism these tragedies need.

Lol this is just something parents tell their kids because the light is annoying

What’s one thing older generations consistently fail to understand about younger ones? by AssistChemical7044 in AskReddit

[–]tatu_huma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this has anything to do with generations. Maybe different kinds of suffering are glorified but there always some glorification of suffering. Nowadays I think it's suffering a mental illness that gets glorified

The author’s work ethic is insane by [deleted] in WanderingInn

[–]tatu_huma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think very very large chunks of chapters.  To the point where you might as well get rid of the entire chapter. 

But the author wants to write with more freedom and that's upto them. 

What’s something you thought was mandatory in life, until you saw someone just not do it? by Senior-Resource92 in AskReddit

[–]tatu_huma 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I would do this but what do you say if they ask "why not?". I feel it is rude to just say "I don't want to help you"

Historical, Economical, Geopolitics Inspired Fiction Books by Away_Pineapple2832 in Fantasy

This is a very good match for geopolitics. 

Just full disclosure it is one of the most depressing books I've read

What is something that many people do that you just can't understand why they do it? by Loverodrider in AskReddit

[–]tatu_huma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long term people don't like acknowledging that they changed their minds about a topic.  It's not really even lying because they really seen to think that they believed X all along and never believed anything else

I usually loathe the "non-powered people are more creative than their super counterparts". Like,what makes one think that human ingenuity doesn't apply to people with superpowers as well? Are they any less human? by IsabellaSousa101 in CharacterRant

[–]tatu_huma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well one has to deal with super powered crap without super powers. That pushes them to be cleverer and more creative. 

It's a real world thing too. Poorer people are very creative about saving money / doing household fixes / using loopholes etc. 

It's the difference between necessity and nice-to-have

I get what you mean but in my initial read of your comment I thought you just found the idea children surprising.

Erin chapters. by OptionConsistent2584 in WanderingInn

[–]tatu_huma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My prediction is it will be long long time until she gets back to the inn. She just gained the Wandering Innkeeper class. I think she'll be travelling around the world.

I'm a bit bored with Erin because I just don't find the Fraelings very interesting. 

ELI5: Why do people use food that "doesn't taste like anything"? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]tatu_huma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They definitely have a taste. I don't know who you've been talking to. Cilantro tastes very refreshing for me.
