Padme: "You must acknowledge that I am the daughter of Naboo proletarians, while you are the descendant of the feudal Serrano nobility."
Dooku: "Yes, but we have one thing in common: we are both traitors to our class."
@BasedPota18@nise_yoshimi Can't he be both a power fantasy and a critique of one? Ennis creates a masturbatory ideal of a cool guy, but realises that such fantasy is also *bad* and has to be put down eventually
@Emps_rex@tlark8 My guy I played this shit as a kid in 7th edition and it was so much worse, orders of magnitude more insane bullshit and no regular fixes. Playing "by intend" is a relatively new development
funnily enough theres actually a bluey episode where she uses pretend play to process trying to save an injured bird & it dying. & instead of her scene ending with the bird alive, she insists the bird dies in her scene because thats what happened. the lesson is that by leaning into the negative experience in her pretend play, it helped her cope with the reality of death & grief. adults on reddit have admitted to needing to skip this episode& some have even said its too sad & 'unnecessary'. i wonder how many steps away we are from 'its disgusting that bluey is promoting using dark fiction to cope'
I would rather starve to death than work for the company that made the rocket that killed this child, and I don’t understand anybody who doesn’t feel the same way
my issue is that when these BDSM cıshet dynamics are portrayed in mainstream tv shows and movies there’s nothing subversive or deeply intriguing about it. like oh so the woman is the bottom and the submissive. wow how unique and disruptive. 🙄
@radikalreboot I think it's actually a good thing to "push gambling underground", the biggest evil of modern gambling is how it became way more accessible with all the apps. Used to be you had to know a guy and go to some shady place, now highschoolers are betting their allowance on League
@SolRaver@JonkJahnson@Bolshie_Boy Lehi (Stern Gang) literally fought against British Palestine and sought an alliance with Nazi Germany, on condition of European Jews migrating to their "Greater Israel". One of the guys from that group was even a pm at some point!
