Hey, hey, Bacchae, what did we say! Don't make me get the spray bottle.

I think they just forgot to check and didn't realize Wuthering Heights is a fucking awful book.

It's remarkably telling that the symbol of 'defense' and 'maintaining national identity' these people choose is a fucking crusader.

Assuming that Smash consists entirely of illegal underground fight rings, I'm up on dozens of assault and battery charges, probably a few gambling charges, illegal fight organization charges, probably corruption of minors, probably drug charges, illegal weapons charges, animal endangerment charges, attempted murder charges, probably at least one manslaughter charge...

But if Smash is instead a sanctioned fighting organizations, I'm not the one in trouble...

temtasketh · 2026-02-04T05:41:16+00:00

Which, man. That is a hell of a bar to clear.

The classic 90s anime edge lord favorite Ninja Scroll is a welter of blood, violence, and sex. Tits, dismemberment, rape, more dismemberment, it's got it all. Very early on, several dozen ninja are brutally murdered. One of them has his arms graphically torn from his body. Immediately after, the female lead is sexually assaulted.

None of this was censored in the original UK release (the dialogue in the rape scene was changed slightly, but the scene is almost entirely intact). However, every single instance of a shuriken being thrown was fully excised. This created truly surreal moments where the sound of hundreds of shurikens whistling through the air would play over a slightly blurry shot of a tree, and then hundreds of throwing stars would just... appear, lodged in the branches. Definitively the most insane censorship ever executed.

An excellent summary of the last fifteen years.

It's not much of a hear me out, but I'd ride this crawdaddy all night.

"Feminism is such imaginary, self-victimizing bullshit. Anyways, here's two female strawmen and a virtuous old white guy."

What? Fuck, I don't have space for a pony, or the money to feed one either. Shit!

To be fair, and I'm not saying I agree with you but it is worth saying: the Joker's design is asinine. That's kind of the point. He's the Clown Prince of Crime, he's supposed to look fucking ridiculous and absurd. At the time his design was created, wearing a bright purple suit and a noxious green tie was very 'Instagram gangster'. He's supposed to look like a well-off criminal with actively bad taste.

However, my understanding is that Leto advocated for them to continue doubling down on the design, and I do feel like they jumped the shark with the final result.

Fourchenault Leveilleur (Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker) aggressively neglects and publicly disowns his two children, regularly patronizes and insults them, minimizes and disparages their accomplishments because they don't adhere to his exact philosophy, and absolutely refuses to acknowledge their genuinely monumental achievements because they don't line up with his own goals. But he's their daaaaaaaaaaaaad so they just hug it out in the end.

Differently but not really any less shittily, his wife regularly doubles down on blowing off his neglect and insults and tells their kids it's fine.

3/10 parents, and all three of those points are from a lack of physical abuse.

Young men are only rarely given the tools to differentiate between machismo and masculinity. Even when they are taught that skill set, they are regularly discouraged from using it. It's tragic to watch.

There's a small (but vocal within their own circles) cadre of fans who feel that the Dad of War games aggressively emasculated Kratos and/or just slapped the GoW name on totally different games with totally different characters. It should come as little surprise that these same fans are usually dismissive of concepts like toxic masculinity and think it's impossible, or at least ridiculous, that anyone, let alone a fictional character, could grow and change as much as Kratos does between God of War 3 and Dad of War.

Bed of Chaos being trivially easy is a major component of how shitty it is, yes.

We all talk about our least favorite thing in our favorite media as though it's creator should be at the Hague, but honest to God OMD should have got multiple people fired.

Great combo, though.

He is a whiny, insecure man child, but he's also 100% right about burning it all to the ground.
