@Aella_Girl@Rationalbot I think more specifically, its tied to your fuckability. That's to say, a fuckboy isnt giving his attention to women he wouldnt want to fuck (women too old or young, or unattractive),
Or women he doesnt believe he has a chance of fucking.
Its about fuckability.
@DontTellScotto@Aron_Ra@elonmusk If your brain is breaking because you think retcon can only refer to changes that are super important to the plot,
Then anywhere you see "retcon", replace it with "revise".
Hope this helps.
@Eudaimonia_jd@Aron_Ra@elonmusk In general, live action remakes are lazy cashgrabs,
And they will never surpass their original counterparts.
The racial retconning is just one aspect that makes it worse.
I'm okay with a black mermaid, just make a new story lol.
@ShoveKnot@Aron_Ra@elonmusk I don't care about changing a story in general.
Good changes are certainly possible.
I explained my position extremely clearly.
The retconning of characters in the pursuit of diversity is cringe, and feels extremely artificial.
Create new characters if you want diversity.
@DontTellScotto@Aron_Ra@elonmusk It is retconning, yes.
"Who gives a shit?", I do (as do many others) and I already explained why.
It's lazy and it feels forced/artificial.
Anyone can grow up to want to be anyone. I have no issues with black super heroes, but a black superman would be cringe af.
@Universe__Lover Most parents do let their children stay with then past 18.
If they don't, there's probably a reason
e.g. the child isn't making a good faith effort to progress occupationally or educationally,
Or something has seriously strained the relationship and they aren't on friendly terms.
@emehlan Is that why most of Eastern Europe scrambled to establish and defend their autonomy the moment the union collapsed?
And why ever since they've been terrified of being brought into another "union" with russia?
@_Elvon_@Aella_Girl "Would you rather fight prime Mike Tyson or a 12 year old (assume equal chance of winning/being injured)"
The "assume equal chance" is doing MASSIVE lifting here, and it defies all reason.
You can't assault and dominate someone more powerful than you.
@Kronykal@ProjectLiberal@TheOmniLiberal "Free speech" the constitution right doesn't work that way.
"Free Speech" the ideal of tolerating speech even when it's offensive does work that way. And conservatives have been fighting for that ideal, and complaining about cancel culture for years.
@robnoerr@TheOmniLiberal There isn't.
The outrage is simply about the "class" and "appropriateness" of joking about someone who was killed.
It's edgy, and some people won't like it.
But some people DO like edgy jokes like that, they're just pearl clutching because they're partisan cumrags.
@DildoGaggins89 She's right tho.
If you are against this because it's icky, you are actually pro-more real children being harmed.
Is it better to have more children harmed just so you can feel better?
@Aron_Ra Trump is the only conservative frontrunner who seems to have an appetite for insurrection and autocracy.
It's POSSIBLE someone would step up to replace him, but we've yet to see it happen.
Most of his replacements are far more reasonable and respectful.
@Aron_Ra@AZ_Brittney I agree that it's pretty unlikely.
If I wanna spitball how it could be staged at this point, I'd say:
Perhaps they knew about the attempt, and allowed it to happen because the odds were very low.
And then trump planned to cut his ear after shots were taken.
Not likely tho.
