Well, no not really. Two of the supposedly female to female characters are not actually female. Asari are basically genderless. People just lump them into the female category because they got nice boobs, which btw is a very patriarchal way of defining femininity and womanhood. They are both also bisexual and a…

From a story point of view, its stupid because some people just aren’t gay or into you. You’d have to write all their characters as potentially gay or straight up bi and they all have to fall for the main character. You’d end up with bad characters and a main character that acts like a prime mover for the game world.…

How can you not tell if an Elcor is sarcastic? They literally would tell you if they are.

Not that I remember, I believe it was Ivan the Mad that killed his own son. Then again, the history of Russian rulers is rife with family murdering each other so it could be that Peter did it as well.

You mean you want Trump to forcibly relocate people to a city he build and named after himself (somehow it wouldn’t surprise me if he tried that) and shaving of peoples beards in public?

Projecting power has nothing to do with ‘policing’ the world and everything with protecting US political and economic interests. The US and US citizens do not benefit from an unstable world or a world where the US is unable to defend its interests.

Yes, buy less luxuries to pay for your outrageously expensive healthcare. Oh wait, the whole economy is kinda build around the idea that people spend money on ‘luxuries’ (ie anything that isn’t directly necessary to meet your most basic needs). Think back to your econ 101 class, what did they tell you happens to an…

Says people who lecture other people about how they should live and what changes they should make are assholes.

Eh, from all the female characters in FF9 only Beatrix shows some cleavage I think. Also all the Alexandrian female soldiers dont wear pants. Then again, they are also consistently displayed as far more capable than the male soldiers, to the extend the entire Alexandrian army has like 9 guys in it.

Hey, me too! Though I joined them a few years ago, after the last European Parliament Elections. Ska Keller was the one who convinced me that a Green party is a better fit for me.

Yeah but lefitst populism is basically just right wing populism minus the racism. They still present unrealistic, ineffective and dangerous but simple sounding solutions to complex issues.

Fellow Dutch person here. Join a political party maybe? Its what I did. Or if not that, vote left. Doesn’t matter much what left party, as long as you’re sure they will absolutely refuse to form a coalition with Wilders.

Yeah, doesn’t work. Dutch Trump has already been normalized to the point where he was part of a coalition government. He fucked that up of course, and it did hurt him in the next election. But now he is back again. And having him be part of the cabinet only so he can fuck up the country for 1-2 years and lose the next…

Well thank you for your thoughtful reply and not instantly going ‘fuck you for disagreeing with me’. Its nice to disagree with someone in a polite manner :)

Well first, I’m not exactly unbiased. Everyone has biases and so do I. Two, I don’t think this is about being biased. Someone can be lovely and done some terrible things at the same time. What does it mean to be lovely or likeable to someone? You act nice to them right? Polite maybe? Have little bit of wit? Some…

Im not apologizing for that women. I’m saying I’m not disgusted by the idea that someone who did something so bad can be lovely and kind when your drinking tea with them. The world isn’t black and white.

Yeah, guilty. Also, not giving her a pass. She is fully responsible for her lie and the evil consequences that followed. I’m just not ‘disgusted’ by the idea that someone can be ‘lovely and kind’. Like I said, people aren’t wholly evil or wholly good. They aren’t movie villain caricatures.

Well yes. I didn’t mean it as a blanket statement for all racists. There are definitely plenty of racists who are very open about it. One more blatant example sits in the White House.

Yes well, reality is that there are a lot of people out there who are racists and bigots and they live in the same place as you do. You can either stomp your feet and demand that they stop being racist or you treat them with contempt and hostility. Hell will have frozen over before that actually works. Or you can try…

How. Emmett Till was already dead at that point. She is responsible for the lie she told, not the death that happened before that.
