If this plays out as you argue it will, I assume they did it because they thought it would work better. I'm going to wait and see how it plays out. If it's utterly horrible, I'll be right there alongside you complaining about it. But let's not act all surprised that they've had to make creative choices about how to

Then what's your point? The producers and writers decided to optimize that whole thing into one character. They, if what you're saying is true, chose Trystane. If they're not doing it out of sexism, and you'd have been fine with them choosing Arianne and ditching Trystane, why is this such a horrible thing? They made

Because they hate women, apparently. That's why they did it. You are 100% correct. Let's stop supporting these sexists.

These things they added took mere minutes. With Arianne, you're talking about bringing in this character and giving her all of the screen time that would go along with building the character, giving her a history, and so on. These things aren't even remotely comparable. It's adding color vs. adding virtual episodes

1) In the books, Shae was very transparently (except to Tyrion himself) only with Tyrion for the money. In the show, her role was far more ambiguous, and it's likely that she actually was in love with Tyrion. This is due to the fact that, unlike in the books, we actually get POV on Shae in the show. The way she

1) We don't even know that Arianne isn't going to be in the show.

Exactly how do you feel they butchered the source material?

Show adds a whole host of new female characters. Leaves one from the books out and SEXISM. I'm sorry, but Game of Thrones has more powerful and interesting female characters than almost any TV show currently in production. And they're not all just that sort of conventional "acts like a man, can hang with the boys"

This is such an old criticism, and it's been voiced with every sequel to the game thus far. I think it's just the nature of this type of game. It makes intuitive sense that every feature that's come out should be reincluded in the next base game, but it's not like those features just design themselves for the sequel.

Actually, the Tesla thing is a result of car dealerships lobbying politicians to prevent Tesla from selling directly. I'm not sure the government necessarily has a dog in that race. It's simply a matter of entrenched interests tossing money into the coffers of politicians.

No clue, but I'm sort of assuming they would.

Not sure that's really an apt analogy. This is more akin to a car not being street legal because it doesn't meet a certain standard set by government regulations.

You realize that the Japanese occupied Korea for a long time prior to WW2, right? You have to understand that, even though Korea is now a modernized country with a solid middle class, most middle-aged people in Korea can remember growing up in crippling, post-war poverty conditions. Koreans have plenty of reasons to

This is what happens when you sass a Korean mother, for real. He deserved what he got.

Except you can't really call it a "targeting error" if, after the fact, there's audio of people talking about how it must have been a passenger plane fitted for "spying" or whatever. They were going to shoot down anything that wasn't aligned with their operations. Just because their paranoia led them to shoot down a

The disappointment of the "free to play" aspect is unfortunately only heightened by the fact that it's from a Japanese developer, because while US developers will definitely nickel-and-dime players on such titles, in Japan it's more like dollar-and-five-dollar. They're just shameless when it comes to how much they

What I'm saying is, if readers of the comic want to feel a certain stupid way, then let them feel that way. The creator shouldn't assume they will feel a certain stupid way, and make sure to craft the story in order to avoid that outcome. Let stupid people think what they want to think.

Well, I guess I'm not sure what alternative you'd go with. Do they specifically not make Falcon, or any black character, the new Captain America, for fear of the character's former superhero identity being diminished by comparison? Let stupid readers come to that conclusion on their own; the creators shouldn't be

I get what you're saying, and I agree that more original characters of color should be created and promoted, but I disagree that giving a pre-existing black character the Captain America mantle has the diminishing effect that you argue in your comment. The notion that who becomes the next Captain America even has to

One Piece is horrid.
