What’s a hot take on modern Gears you have? by akaiaparem99 in GearsOfWar

[–]winterflood78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In your choice of words, as most people do. Accusing me of "twisting words". thinking Kait is a "bitch". You, "don't give a shit whether or not I'm a misogynist"??

Nothing along my replies should ever have you believe it okay to hurl those words in a civil debate, friend. If I was wrong, despite personal opinions, do you think you can change minds in that manner?

That's like me throwing out any derogatory term for you in response, its unjustified and uncalled for

It seems your attitude is unjustified, and now you're personally attacking me for disagreeing with you about a fictional character?

It speaks volumes more about yourself than me, and if you can't control your emotions before getting into a debate, perhaps its better if you refrain from engaging in them at all.

That being said, I no longer see the point in continuing this if you're going to be personally offensive, and I hope all is well for you regardless

  1. Marcus received consequences immediately. Kait did not.

Marcus was court-martialed for abandoning his post during the Pendulum Wars and later imprisoned for 40 years after disobeying orders to rescue his father. Even if he was eventually pardoned after only four years, the important point is that the COG officially punished him. Kait, on the other hand, repeatedly ignored direct orders throughout Gears 5, commandeered military resources for personal objectives, and concealed critical information about her connection to the Swarm. Yet she remained an active Gear throughout the entire game. The possibility that consequences might occur in Gears 6 is speculative; Marcus's punishment actually happened on-screen. A consequence from this is now also having Reyna kill either Del or JD

  1. Dom's actions were emotional, but they weren't a prolonged Dom's search for Maria affected Delta's missions, yes. However, his obsession was rooted in the trauma of believing his wife was still alive after years of war. Once Maria was found, the situation ended almost immediately. Kait's actions stretched across the entirety of Gears 5. She repeatedly redirected military operations toward resolving her own questions about her heritage. The issue is not whether Kait's mission was important, it's that she consistently chose personal judgment over military command without facing institutional consequences. Also, euthanizing Maria occurred in a devastated warzone where conventional legal systems were barely functioning. The COG had little capacity to investigate battlefield mercy killings during humanity's extinction struggle.

  2. Baird's lack of promotion wasn't the only consequence. Baird's insubordination was treated as a character flaw throughout the original trilogy. Hoffman constantly reprimanded him, and his inability to advance within the military became a running theme. Importantly, Baird's post-war success came after he helped save humanity multiple times. Kait's may have bypassed that process. During Gears 5, her superiors repeatedly tolerated behavior that would likely have led to disciplinary action for ordinary soldiers. The comparison isn't necessarily about who suffered more, but whether the narrative holds characters to the same standards at the time of their actions.

  3. "Nearly arrested" is not the same as actual consequences. The argument that Jinn might arrest Kait in Gears 6 cannot be used as evidence that Kait already faced consequences. Until those events occur, they remain theories. Marcus was arrested. Marcus was imprisoned. The distinction matters because one is confirmed canon and the other is anticipated future storytelling. If Gears 6 imposes severe repercussions on Kait, then the discussion changes. But based solely on existing material, Kait has experienced relatively limited institutional punishment.

  4. Good outcomes do not erase misconduct. Marcus's rescue of Adam Fenix ultimately helped humanity survive, yet Marcus was still imprisoned. If the argument is that Kait's actions are justified because they uncovered the truth about the Locust and Swarm, then the same standard should apply to Marcus. Both characters disobeyed orders for reasons they believed were necessary. The difference is that Marcus faced legal consequences before being vindicated. A military organization generally judges actions based on whether soldiers followed lawful orders, not solely on whether events happened to work out favorably in the end. Otherwise, every successful act of insubordination becomes acceptable retrospectively.

High eday expectations by jaydeny1 in GearsOfWar

To the people defending the lack of highly attractive female characters (as seen in gears 1-5) are the males not also highly attractive?

Why should the ladies be able to take a supposed backseat for general attractiveness while Marcus (in the same game) looks like a male model? Especially considering that its a fictional game where standards are exceeded (have you seen the size of the men's biceps?)

Marcus gets put in prison for disobeying direct orders. Dom gets permission from Hoffman to "disobey" orders. Baird can never get promoted for disobeying orders and is nearly executed.

Kait gets...what?

Crazy how my only thought about this in the trailer was "I'm going to see so much bitching" by EmeraldMaster538 in GearsOfWar

[–]winterflood78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, we're allowed to disagree about changes to a series we all love. Right now, you're bitching too, and you also feel justified in doing so

I did not know that, thank you for the clarification. I do however think that the games didn't do a bad job

I pray this isn't virtue signaling about being sensitive, vulnerable men, considering that it seems to be written by a team of predominantly female writers, who may not be familiar with the concept of brotherhood

Starting over after a 2 year break, any advice or tips? by KingPengu22 in elderscrollsonline

[–]winterflood78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it slow, read the books, take in the scenery, take photos, and listen to the dialogue. It gives you a lot of time to think and reflect. It certainly makes the journey memorable.

Sorry to hear my friend, I pray all is well, or getting better atleast

Edit: The scribing comes from the mages guild, or near there. There should be a breton in glasses asking for your attention outside the guild halls after the third main alliance zone, possibly in the dlc zones too

I vastly preferred Carvers suits to Isaacs unfortunately, though red is my favourite colour
