“The ONLY benefits gained from service is the right to vote and the right to hold office.”

That is a pretty big “ONLY” there. XD
The right to vote and hold office means the right to choose your representatives and right to have power of what direction your country takes.
This right being limited to those who went trough…

Seems like all the facist red flags in the book went right past your head, mate.

Right, right, there is absolutely nothing fascist about restricting the right to vote or hold office to the people that have gone through the government brainwashing program, and the novel definitely doesn’t glorify fighting and the infantry as the heart of the moral philosophy. It isn’t like the protagonist’s…

“Conscription is slavery and no just society or sound military body can endure based on forced service”

Only from reading your description, I see the book hits about half of Umberto Eco’s 14 characteristics of a fascist movement. In particular it’s hitting #10 “contempt for the weak” (ie people who don’t “volunteer” for military service) and #11 “everybody is educated to become a hero”.

Racism being illogical isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature. So the only standard racists adhere to is being assholes. So criticizing them for lack of consistency/logic/justification/etc, doesn’t do much.

He makes movies that are fun to watch, and that’s it.

It’s more like “Holy shit, this Whopper I ordered has wilted lettuce, old cheese, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t even beef.”

That is the biggest problem I have with Bethesda, they are incredibly tone deaf and disingenuous towards valid criticisms. Yeah the moon was empty when humans visited it and ostensibly the rest of the galaxy is in terms of life but people were doing science and meaningful exploration in the real world. The motivations…

There were a handful of great reactionary mods that added MORE pronouns to the game. I liked that, and had a chuckle.

What a pathetic hill to die on. It’s literally a single option that can be completely ignored all together. Why have a mod that removes it?

Imagine being such an asshole that you need to a mod to remove a choice for you and only you that you weren’t going to make anyway just to make yourself feel better. 

You have to work really hard to make it an allusion to capitalism, while it’s pretty easy to read it as fascism. If you have to work that hard to make it mean something, it’s probably intended to be something else.

psst you can be bi AND lesbian I know its wired, while bi just referse to a sexual diversity prefernce, the word tlesbian refers to a type of relation ship, a preference and/or a type of attraction. then theres the split model of attraction which is def not a universal experience, but its def myn.

I feel BIsexual…

*looks at split models of attraction...* she can be both

(let alone because the word refers to a type of relation ship, a preference and/or a type of attraction)

Daily reminder that Suletta’s sister refers to herself as Miorine’s “Sister-in-law” during the epilogue.

wow, eri supports her sister’s marriage to miorine, you can leave

Still queer...

I don’t know about suletta but her wife is not a lesvian she’s bi or at least seems that way because she was due to marry the guy

nah, they married. maybe you didn’t watch it, but it’s really hard to interpret the ending otherwise. also the writer did like a bunch of tweets saying they're married, so you tell me.
