@DiscussingFilm Same tbh.

@Xenophon789 @hiimashley4 @generalslug Is it not arbitrary that society has decided "not preparing yourself fully" is disrespectful? Or even the idea that "preparing yourself thoroughly" includes drying your hair?

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@Xenophon789 @hiimashley4 @generalslug Why is it bad?

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

Many normies demand people follow arbitrary rules for no other reason than that they exist. Conformity is good to them. Showing fealty to "the rules" is good to them. This impulse produces pointless busywork at its best, and perpetuates the evils of the world at its worst.

I saw this thread like a month ago, and it has been torturing the shit out of me ever since. It was a bunch of zoomers acting absolutely SHOCKED that people reacted badly when they showed up to work with wet hair. "People actually care about that?" And it's like...

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@Xenophon789 @hiimashley4 @generalslug Or it could mean you just didn't want to dry your hair. You lack imagination.

@Ibaad__1 @MinModulation The typical normie has something in their brain that makes them crave seeing the faces of other people. Some people, as part of natural human variation, lack this. We are the blessed few.

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@exwo0 @Ibaad__1 @MinModulation Different people have different inherent preferences. Coming to this realization unlocks great insight.

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@HannyahZ It's because the average zoomer has an obsession with faces bordering on the pathological. Just look at Youtube thumbnails, or the slow death of faceless videos. The zoomer audience craves the face, and the zoomer "Vtuber" yearns to show it. Not even just zoomers.

@KeyTryer Why does no bug-utilitarian ever consider that maybe the suffering of a human is infinitely worse than that of a insect. Or that utility doesn't always increase linearly. Why is their math always caveman-level "utility is when thing happy. when two thing happy it twice as good."

@Critical_Scribe Few people in the modern world are capable of taking things seriously. They've internalized a constant paranoid anxiety about being perceived as cringe. Such that even seeing a character take something seriously triggers this same cringe response in them, perpetuating the cycle.

@johndrewmarkley It's a rare good one. I could've sworn there used to be a decent ratio of good posts to bad posts on the subreddit before it got popular, but lately 95% of it is abysmal garbage. I blame that one gimmick account.

@allenvonghornet Tragic. Not a single redeeming feature left. Why even play.

@ZaidJilani The brain generates pain. The brain is just a neural network. Why would an artificial neural network not be capable of the same thing?

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@Gonayr @genospsychosis I don't think the average person sees that face and thinks "unclear." Without the eyebrows, it just reads as straight anger. That, I think, leads to a more abrupt reveal at the end, compared to the manga. If it was an intentional choice, I think it was a bad move, in any case.

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@RookieWriter007 @FrenchPrince17 @lotowngirl @North_Wardern Oh, my mistake. I am due for a rewatch. It was presented as an option, but it was also presented as another bad one, because it just pushes the problem onto the next generation and condemns Histora and her descendants to being eaten alive every 13 years. So my point still stands.

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@Gonayr @genospsychosis I think it's more absurd to believe the key artists altered the reading of Ymir's expression that drastically on purpose. Art and cropping mistakes happen all the time.

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@RookieWriter007 @FrenchPrince17 @lotowngirl @North_Wardern Maybe, but there wasn't really anything in the narrative that really put that forth as an option, so I wasn't counting it. That plan would've just kicked the can down the road, regardless.

[Leon @LigoLeon90]

@Gonayr @genospsychosis Do you think the key artists drew the frame, with the intention of the eyebrows being covered up, knowing that covering the eyebrows would change the meaning of the expression? Or do you think it was an accident?
