Yes, and while the risk is not comparable, it’s not just men. I had a woman pull a knife on me while screaming I was too ugly/worthless/etc to reject her, how I couldn’t do better and I should be begging to be with her. Plenty of people are unhinged.
It’s not a real Onion article, the original was about Al-Qaeda. https://www.theonion.com/fbi-uncovers-al-qaeda-plot-to-just-sit-back-and-enjoy-c-1819576375
yeah because everyone uses Discord as a replacement for web sites even though it’s a terrible format for storing and searching information
Sort of off topic, but “apes together strong” has been hilariously useful to me over the years. The number of gamer brained “lone wolves” I’ve had to get onboard and working together is bizarrely high. Apes together strong always hits. Instant enthusiasm and team cohesion as they make fucking monkey noises together and start to roll with any set backs they have instead of squabbling amongst each other.
My complaint is I wish they spent less time fighting monsters and more chilling in random villages to learn a spell that bakes bread.
I doubt I’d notice.
It’s actually way funnier. I CTRL+F’d the thread to see what the reactions would be.
I actually didn’t get any feminist themes outside of the main characters being female.
What do you see as the feminist and indigenous power of this story? Is it just because the leads were women?
This is the most unadulterated feminist rage I’ve seen on screen for a long time. Time and time again it exposes misogynistic violence and punishes it. Yet even when it’s this unsubtle, all the average reddit nerd can see as feminist is “it has women in it”.
We joke about how “political” to these people means “women or people of colour exist”, but it is not just a facade. It’s literally all these nerds can comprehend.
The worst is the next rung up from “small business owner”. The guy who might own a few small business and/or some investment properties. Still an ant in the eye of the Amazons of the world, but has vastly more power to victimize a larger number of people.
These are always the most fucking disgusting, pathetic, annoying and cruel people I have met. They brag about all the awful shit they do to people and they get away with it. Rapists, thieves and wife beaters the lot of them, but actually having the money to shield them from any blowback in the way the petty tyrant who just owns like a restaurant or something does not.
Liam is proudly anti-communist, American and anti-intellectual. Alice can have some pretty bad takes but it’s overall fine, the real issue is she folds really quickly to the peer pressure when Liam starts getting aggressive while Rocz just wants to talk about trains. So the general dynamic is Alice will say something vaguely communist then Liam will start yelling insane half remembered black book shit at her until she goes “I guess that’s true…” to get him to stop. There will be an awkward pause then Rocz will resume talking about trains.
I never thought I’d miss the mansplaining discourse circa 2010 but here I am, desperate for the unearned confidence of a wildly below average man yelling over a woman until she submits to be called out.
I really do hate the guy. He loves to brag about just being the most selfish piece of shit and putting other people’s lives at risk. He revels in the fact that he refuses to learn anything - not just politically, but on any topic they cover that’s not like beer and sports. This would be too on the nose as a caricature making fun of the average American.
Then all he does is complain about having an extremely cushy, absurdly well paid job and how he doesn’t want to do it. Just quit already you pig.
