That’s a series where people learn how to use magic, not a thing about “how it works”. The series is very careful to never explain anything about the mechanics of magic, other than “incantations are a thing unless they aren’t, willpower maybe matters, and quality of the magic wand is relevant except when it isn’t”.

Sure, and you can definitely get that message from the story, but that’s not what the story is saying with its text. It’s saying “this hippie chick is actually a real wizard”. Same as when a character’s evil abusive mother turns out to be not her real mother at all! like in Tangled - Mother Gothel probably does inspire lots of real children of abusive parents to be okay with hating their (hate-worthy) mothers, but then the movie ends with Rapunzel meeting her real true family that loves her and cares for her and there’s no way her real parents would ever do anything cruel and selfish to their child.

She didn’t know, but then the story happened and she learned that magic was real and she could do it because she was Wiccan and descended from a full blooded witch.

… But then she does a real magic spell that, because of her magic beliefs and/or bloodline, stops the real supernatural monster. There was even a bit about how someone else doing the exact same mumbo jumbo didn’t work because “you’re not a wiccan”

The villain saying “I want to make everyone Super, so that it’s not just natural Supers that get to have powers” is absolutely an objectivist-adjacent plot. The fact that Syndrome also wants to murder (genocide?) Supers with his droids and “spend his life getting all his kicks from being the only (artificial) Super until he gets bored and then shares the tech with the public” is a classic example of attaching blatant evil to the ideology you want to villainize.

It’s not the movie saying “if everyone’s super, no one is”, it’s the movie saying “the dude who wants everyone to be super instead of only the genetic lottery winners is evil bad murder villain, look, we wrote him doing so much evil bad murder!”

Like, let’s say you want to have themes of anti-environmentalism in your movie. What’s your villain? Eco-terrorist that bombs coal power plants to stop them from polluting the earth. It’s the oldest framing technique in the book, especially for all-ages media: just have the character that expresses the ideology you want to defeat also be a mean bad murder villain. Bonus points if you can somehow make the murder bad villain evil plan relate to the ideology in some superficial way.

Any “fumble” is the result of the object of your affection making their own choices, lol.

Wait “the obvious” one isn’t supposed to be the she/they from steven universe? On tumblr?

man, of all the times to accidentally a word in a post, he threw an extra “to” into his post making fun of people’s grammar. Unless he’s trying to use “to English” as a verb, which seems unlikely.

Not at all that kind of manga.

PEGI is a joke, but it’s a consistent joke. Any gameplay that looks like playing a casino game is consistently “simulated gambling” and an instant 18+. PEGI is why the Pokémon series stopped putting Game Corners in after gen 4, even though Pokémon’s “slot machines” were timing-based skill challenges.

I’d argue that fighting and punishing hate speech would be protected by Tenet II, which takes priority over “other laws”.

Mobile Adapter GB is a remote device.

Works fine on Sync, which is a bit unfortunate.

!the name Frisk is a spoiler too if we’re spoiler tagging an 8 year old game!<

Oil floats on water.

1. cover yourself in water

2. wait for it to oil

3. sink

Spiders be like OoOowoOoO

So there was no way for individual servers (chat rooms?) to disable the anti cheat and let people “steal” models and potentially crash other users, but also benefit from the variety involved with mods?

Wait, a chatroom platform had anti-cheat? How do you cheat at VRchat?
