I just explained what the issue was, but OK. It is not censorship to use your voice to explain that you will buy one type of product but not another. “Make the kind of thing I like or else I won’t buy” is not censorship; it’s the exact same level of freedom of association that the artist also enjoys; this is why I…

The most disappointing redemption was Tam Ryvora. She seemed like a good opportunity to tell the story of how normal people buy into the propaganda and become bad, but then they reversed it.

All of Star Wars is a kid’s show. If you convince yourself that your corner of the space-cowboy-pirate-wizard universe is more mature than others then that says more about you than it does about the people who have made their peace with the fact that they like a kid’s show.

You probably are close with that last one. Even just for propaganda purposes, switching from clones to conscripts produces a “support our troops” mindset among the civilian population that wouldn’t have existed with clones whose only family are other clones. Civilians now have sons or daughters in the military which…

“Trying to force someone to change their content ‘or else’ because you’re offended is an attempt at censorship”.

It might be less cynical than most shows but by Trek standards it still struck me as intensely cynical. It just rubs me the wrong way that, for example, in any good Trek the characters would treat Prime Directive situations as an agonizing dilemma with no good solutions, whereas Mariner is never conflicted about…

I’m not disputing that, which is why I’m now convinced that you didn’t understand my point.

They just need a Clodagh and Street Fighter will have all 4 of my niblings: Clodagh, Sean, Luke and Dan

I'm extremely frumpy and can never make a character that looks like me

MKX and MK11 were such drastic improvements on MK9 in terms of female character design (and everything else, really).

“It can come from mobs pressuring a company to drop the creators unless they bend the knee to their values”.

G seems to have some connection

You mean "another American character", right? We have enough of those. At least make him Canadian or something

Just buy the PC version already

She has many grandchildren though.

Counterpoint: if I work I can afford a car in several months. If I steal I can afford a car in several minutes. Accruing money at a faster rate than your peers is not necessarily an indication of superior intelligence, as lack of intelligence is not always the only obstacle to making money. __If__ Amouranth is using…

Well, she’s making enough money to prove that she’s not stupid, at least. Capitalizing on your looks is life on easy mode, sure, but there are lots of attractive women in the world, so it takes more than JUST looks to make the money she's making.

Sex sells.

No I know that but this is the first time I’ve heard it compared to the swastika or rising sun. I'm curious what the offence is.

There are going to be so many variants of Nathaniel Richards that you might as well get used to calling them by individual identifications or it will get confusing. This one is He Who Remains. We’ll probably also get Kang, Immortus, Rama-Tut, the Scarlet Centurion, Victor Timely, Mr Gryphon etc. It’s even possible…
