You can, and while it builds a more robust world to include, not including does not invalidate the world. If I wrote a modern day story that had an all white all cisgendered hetro main cast, it doesn't mean that the world lacks any LGBT+ people. If I added an LGBT+ main character simply to have one it would be…

She did think about the issue. She didn't point out peer examples. Should she have? Well that's a good question, the books were about other kinds of prejudice. I think of it like in X-men there wasn't a lot of exploration into racism or sexism because speciesism was the focus.

I got here thanks to the sum up of the year but thanks so much for pointing out how much the definitions and way things are classified differ between the US and Japanese viewpoint. In the US we define a classification like this by the content rather than by the artists intent.

Humans have far more pulling strength than pushing strength. Pulling is done by contracting the bicep (A large muscle) where as swinging a sword is mostly a mater of inertia and forearm strength 'pushing' the blade around.

There are basic limits to free speech in the US. If what you say directly results in, or could be seen to directly result in danger of or actual damage or injury, then what you did is not protected speech.

I had one almost marriage and am now married. The almost marriage happened honestly for the same reason that it didn't happen. Looking back at it we were going to be married because my then fiance was emotionally abusive and I thought that getting married was the way it HAD to go. When we split before the marriage I…

Nope, in general good people don't need any prizes for being good. They don't deserve derision for being good either. This story didn't deride good white people, other have, but if you just keep being a good person it really shouldn't matter.

I'm not sure how you can be a first amendment apologist? Or are you taking a dig at people who say things like. "I don't agree with it but it's protected."? Since that is the essence of WHY there is protected speech, because people have things to say that others don't like.

I hate you... hate... mmmmm fritos with taco meat and cheese... now I'll have to have that for lunch...

MOAR Stars!

Air soft... I want a live fire version of this...

If you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anybody else? I think people see the human side of you when you do that.

So Much potential...

The recordings and journals should only be included in tongue in cheek horror where they belong.

This is now my new table rageflip gif... and is unlikely to ever be unseated.

Thank you for making me smile after an article that was hellbound for leather to make me scowl the rest of the night.

I love Tekken FOR the silly joke characters, why wouldn't you?

I just want it set up with a water pump and four hoses to make sure to do blood spray for photos. ^_^
