@Script_Scribble This was actually a problem I had when he and Katara spared the sadistic monster who murdered her mother. If SHE had killed him, it would be revenge, tearing at her soul. If HE had killed the bastard, he'd simply be making sure that a sadistic murderer is prevented from new crime
@CamVarner@Criminalsimpson Mrs. K: "Nelson, Nelson, Nelson... How many kids have you beat up this year?"
N: "I dunno. Fifty?"
Mrs. K (wistfully): "Fifty! Where has the time gone?

Brianna Ghey was 16 years old. She was brutally murdered.
Whatever your views about transgender people, surely there ought to be a point at which politics and ideology stop and basic human decency begins.
This was somebody’s daughter. A child who had an entire life ahead of her.
To look at her photograph after everything that happened to her and still choose to misgender her, describe her as “groomed” and use her death as ammunition in a culture war is something I find profoundly disturbing.
I’ve spent this week reading people tell me that their hostility towards transgender people comes from “concern”.
Where is the concern here? Where is the compassion?
We can disagree about policy. We can debate medicine. We can question laws and safeguarding.
But surely we haven’t reached a point where respecting the dignity of a murdered 16-year-old is considered too much to ask.
Brianna deserved better while she was alive. Her memory deserves better now. 🏳️⚧️
When it comes to Protections for Trans People in Europe, thanks to JK Rowling's anti-trans propaganda and legislation, the UK is now on par with Russia.
This is why you cannot "separate the art from the artist."
@_TheSmartAlec1 As a species, we're surrounded by and rightly sick of AI slop to such a degree that weird scenes made by actual human creativity - regardless of how flawed or schlocky - warms our hearts. (I recently watched the "Resident Evil" movies; they sucked, but human slop beats AI slop).
