Nah, I’m fine with terrible and unfair things happening to terrible people. They can both get fucked and rot.

Or, take characters and themes we already know and ratchet things up to the next narratively and thematically logical conclusion. 

Creative and skilled people produce art and entertainment, not capitalism.

Can we address the CCP-size elephant in the room and look at the draconian control the party in place put on everything internet and computer related? Video games VERY much included.

Derailing discussion away from political criticisms of China? 50 Cent Party alert.

We’re nine generations into “pokémon designers have lost it”.

Sure, but they shouldn’t.
