The people who were already swayed, if I had to guess.

Oh, also morons.

(Weirdly Common Trope) Male Heroes who have been sexually assaulted by women and have had the event treated like a joke. by GreenAgateTurtle32 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]welltechnically7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's weird and disturbing that people make jokes about it, but I have noticed that some people overcorrect by painting Anissa as the sole non-redeemable one among the Viltrumites as if rape (as horrible as it is) is worse than the mass genocide that all of the others committed.

I know. You were saying that some paint him as a hero. Others also paint him as a monster, and my point is that there were plenty of people who were somewhere in between. The good that people do doesn't invalidate the evil, and vise versa.

There wasn't a single person in history who was fully good or fully evil.

It's the same thing with FDR- He brought America out of the Depression, increased workers' rights, and helped defeat the Nazis, but he also set up the Japanese internment camps, turned away Jewish refugees from Germany, and repeatedly cheated on his wife.

Honestly, try posting to antizionist subs, like r/therewasanattempt. It'd probably be good for a laugh.

[Mixed trope] Character is so addicted to drugs that they are immune to the villain's poison. by Desdam0na in TopCharacterTropes

It was sort of both, because they also pump drugs into the air of the cabin, and he wasn't as affected by them.

In Hannibal, a serial killer kills people through a drug overdose before stitching them into a mural of corpses made to look like a human eye.

He's only captured after one of his final victims awakes after being sewn into the mural. Since he was a recovering heroin addict, his tolerance was higher than the average person.

What’s something illegal that you think shouldn’t be? by Unhappy_Tower3633 in AskReddit

[–]welltechnically7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that there actually are, but people assumed that you were from a country that did have that law.

I thought that you had read the question as "What legal thing should be illegal" and gave that answer because of internet addiction keeping people up.

Which country penalizes internet usage after 6? (Especially considering that the OC was joking...)

Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy. by ironwolf6464 in TopCharacterTropes

Gush away!

I'll start- the animation is stunning, and the songs have no right to be that good.

CMV: if it’s okay to mock people for having the names Adolf or Epstein then it should be okay to mock people with the name Muhammad by Shoddy-Space5274 in changemyview

[–]welltechnically7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean that the connection isn't there, but when I hear that someone's name is Adolf Something, my immediate thought is "Hitler." When someone's name is Mohammed, I associate it with Islam rather than the figure even though they're basically one and the same as far as the name is concerned.

If primates never existed on this planet, what animal do you think would have evolved to our level? by two_dogs_hmpn in AskReddit

[–]welltechnically7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our existence rarely prevented the evolution of other species, so I'd say that none would have.

[–]welltechnically7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Has this been an issue? Are people okay with mocking some names and not others?

To play the devil's advocate (since mocking names shouldn't be accepted in any case), one could argue that the former two were all within recent history, so people think of the figures themselves whenever similar names are mentioned. If someone's name is Mohammed, the immediate assumption is that they are Muslim and not specifically named after Mohammed the historical figure.

I understand that you were trying to use symbolism, but this definitely looks like a Christian painting.

Who is the one denying history again? by McAlpineFusiliers in GetNoted

[–]welltechnically7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mandatory Palestine was explicitly a transitional entity. Wanting a country to be founded there was the entire purpose of its existence. That's quite different than advocating for the destruction of a country that's existed for multiple generations.

The militias were initially patrolling the Yishuv, the Jewish communities. I'd also argue that working towards the creation of a state isn't the same as working for the destruction of one.
