One annoying thing about indie games is the tendency to try and be every genre under the sun.
"Shadows in Venus is an FPS 4X Strategy game with RPG and Roguelike elements!"
My dude, you need ADHD medicine.
"Something's in the Closet is a roguelike deckbuilding survival horror with RTS elements"
Bro games are supposed to be ON a system, not BE a system.

Why are so many writers so enamored with making slavery grey?
Some people believe everything is morally grey, that nothing is black and white. So when they're told they can't portray something uniquely evil as grey, they view it as a challenge.

Do you believe that Shrek was Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) done right?

Recently, Vivziepop released Valentine's merch and one print had shit color value and someone made an edit. I have seen a lot of people get mad about the edit but I don't see anything wrong with it, especially since it was a comercial piece. Do I don't see something wrong?
Given Medrano's character designs are not picked to high hell and back, I can see why people are sick of your crap.

Since studio Ghibli's been a topic around here do you have a favorite Ghibli villain? Mine is probably Col Muska from Castle In the Sky, especially when Mark Hammill voices him, he's such a devious creep.
I think my favourite Ghibli villain is Urbanism (Pom Poko, Only Yesterday, Princess Kaguya)
Watching Let's Game It Out play Arknights Endfield, and apparently someone thought what Satisfactory was missing was playing like Genshin Impact.
In Harry Potter, Hogwarts is shown to have extremely lax safety standards, where physical and mental trauma inflicted on the students is treated with at best disregard and at worst amusement.
This is a subtle nod to the fact that JK Rowling was friends with Epstein and enjoys harming children.
Watching When Marnie was There and this film was such a MASTERFUL rug pull. They're laying that shit on so thick.

Why the heck are people so against the premise of Toy Story 5? Considering they agree with those moral panic videos, wouldn't this be something they would highly anticipate?
For the same reason everyone is obsessed with protecting minors, but freaks out when ID policies start coming in: They don't want anyone with power to talk about these problems because then they might solve them. They like complaining and using it as a cudgel way more.

I'm curious, you and Mikaila went to see Infinity Castle, so what was the experience of watching that film without having seen everything before it?
If you're asking if it was difficult to follow, no it wasn't. Not only is it really easy to pick things up from context clues, but that film in particular really liked to over-explain absolutely everything.
The notion that not watching something in order will leave you utterly confused is ridiculously overblown by fandom. The reality is most shows and films are not that complicated and are not written in such a way that very important plot details are revealed in Act 2 of Episode A113 - The Clip Show of Destiny. If a show was written like that, people would complain because even if you did watch every episode doesn't mean you'll remember every episode.
Fandom says this stuff because it makes their favorite show sound smarter than it actually is.
You could start Lord of the Rings at The Two Towers Extended Edition and get the gist of most of it.

Is it irrational for me to say that most of the allied races in WoW should have been cosmetic options instead of being their own race? I can understand void elves and nightborne, but the others just seem too shallow to be considered distinct from the regular options.
Yes they should have.
But I'm going to be honest, part of Blizzard's charm even today is how they utterly refuse to do anything in a sensible way, it's always gotta be in a ridiculously roundabout route.
"Yeah we could add brown skin tones to the Orcs that have been in the Horde since TBC, but instead let's wait 16 years and make you time travel to an alternate universe and recruit Thrall's time paradox clone sister."
That's shit only Blizzard would do because they are incapable of being normal.
At a certain point you have to accept the nonsense.

The way my sapphic ass went in not pre-spoiled into watching When Marnie was there and got soccer punched in the face by the twist. I was like "Well this movie is slightly dull but at least it has this cute semi-sapphic thing going o-OOP NEVERMIND WHAT THE FU-"
I mean it's not like I ACTUALLY expected it to go the sapphic route but still
That shit was targeted. That was entirely done on purpose.
I went in pre-spoiled so I was like "I think the Internet was just being amatanormative aga- OH GOOD LORD!" This film is the fucking most.
I've written siblings spooning and even I thought that was a little much.

Your "I got the gist of it" stance on fiction is correct, and more people need to come to terms with it.
There's a JRPG series called Trails, and hardcore fans will shit themselves if you admit to starting with one of the latter arcs, or even just skipping a game.
"But if you didn't play the previous ten games in order, you won't understand how much it MEANS when this character shows up!"
It's about anime warriors in a techno-fantasy setting where half the characters have cool epithets related to their powers.
I'm pretty sure I can suss out that This Swordsman Guy who was introduced in slow motion, with music that is clearly the theme song for some former game is A Big Deal.
I do not need to sit through almost 150 hours of him doing Anime Warrior School Bullshit while surrounded by fawning girls to grok that.
There is something very funny about shonen or JRPG fanboys acting like the story of their favorite slop is super complicated and deep.
They're power fantasies for little boys, dipshit. They're not that hard to follow.

Question about When marine was there , can I ask what was too much? I haven't watched the movie but it is for pg audience so it can't be something that weird right?
I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm saying. It's not about it getting weird, it's about how they're laying it on so thick.

Why is Beauty and The Beast is still being called a classic and people's favourite disney princess movie by grown ass people when Belle was forced to be a prisoner to save her father, and the beast have some serious anger issues. I thought people didn't like the narrative of needing a woman to "fix" the guy.

out of curiosity are there any trans characters you've read/watched/insert medium here that you really enjoyed?
None that were so significant that they come to mind immediately.
