Hello! I’m a POC (black/latino) autistic/ADHD dragon from Brazil. I use he/they/it pronouns, and my interests are usually gaming and drawing. Reddit refugee after getting banned multiple times for “threatening violence” for standing up against fascism.
As much as I think the “WOKE MTG” arc is funny as fuck, and the fact she is actually sticking up for her principles (as fucked up as they are) is kinda respectable… don’t get it twisted, I think she’s still a horrible fucking woman. To me she is now what I’d call a worthy opponent who just happens to not be in the side of the main antagonist.
Relevant username. All I’ll say is… Please go to therapy.
Eh, depends if they take the fact they did that seriously or not.
I’m sorry that happened. I’m inclined to disagree with that first phrase, tho. The fact he has no empathy makes him not normal.
I don’t get how babies not spontaneously learning language invalidates the fact that toddlers will instinctively walk up to other toddlers to play regardless of their race. And sure, you need to learn empathy, but that’s when the conditioning part comes in. Plenty of people become empathetic adults even if their parents are terrible people.
TBH I think this is more of a conditioning thing. Like, very young toddlers (up to like, 5-6 years old) literally cannot understand racism. This is actually lampshaded in Wolfenstein II, when BJ just talks to a black girl and tells her about all the shit his father says about her race but he straight up says he doesn’t understand his reasons at all.
Again, I do not think people are evil by default. Hate is something that is taught, not inherent.
She seems like a badass.
I have no idea who that guy is 😭
Commissioner Gordon is the only good cop. I respect him more than any other Batman character, even Bats himself.
But he literally does. The problem is that Gotham is literally fucking cursed in a way that makes people aggressive and evil. And like, I don’t think that kinda stuff would stop the Joker from bombing orphanages, or Black Mask/Penguin from running protection rackets, or stop Killer Croc from literally eating people, or stop Nigma from putting people in actual Saw traps…
Like, a good portion of Batman’s rogue gallery are people that the police CANNOT deal with. Hell, I would argue that even an entire counter-terrorism unit couldn’t deal with the bullshit the Batman rogues pull in a weekly basis.
EDIT: Oh yeah, let’s not forget half of the police in Gotham (if not ALL OF IT) is corrupt and is getting bought by those SAME rogues.
You joke but I’m a libertarian socialist and I say the government SHOULD be scared of regular people with weapons. Not to say I’m for a free-for-all when it comes to firearms, but I’m more partial to laws targeting law enforcement and handgun restrictions than something like an assault weapons ban.
Oh I am well aware of the abomination attachments to make those guns compliant with the laws. But I guess Trump’s just too stupid to even think those exist.
Abundance of guns does not indicate that the country is more prone to violence, though. Switzerland has significantly laxer laws on who can own a gun than over 20 US states, EVERYONE is obligated to own a fully automatic SG550 from their military service, and a vibrant gun culture, and yet, no one’s going around shooting people. It’s a result of right wing extremism, decades of propaganda running on people’s TVs, toxic right wing gun culture that is not countered by responsible gun culture from the left because liberals hate guns (and only because it became a problem for them after school shootings became common), and the refusal of government to address those issues. To add to that, white liberals literally take over ANY gun control talk and make it about their white feelings. That’s exactly what’s happening here with you. Despite minorities being the lead in support for gun control, we literally do NOT ever get to talk about our experiences. The only thing that matters in gun control discussions is white liberals putting their feelings and their feelings ONLY in the table, and advocating for assault weapon bans (which wouldn’t matter), universal background checks (that already exist) and “common sense gun control” (which they change the definition every time to suit what they think). And liberal politicians also add fuel to the fire by EXCLUDING COPS FROM CERTAIN BANS and giving them more and more budget to “fight crime” every year.
There is no such thing as a “mass shooting problem” because it literally kills less people per year than GETTING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. The media turns every single one of those into a spectacle and that’s why the majority of people think it’s such a problem. Police violence, on the other hand, is NOT statistically insignificant, and especially not for POC. After the assassination of the UHC CEO, the media literally turned every other time a CEO died into just a damn footnote, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT COPYCATS. The media can stop making those mass shootings a spectacle, but they won’t, because IT GIVES THEM MONEY.
The gun control movement has a HUGE problem with white supremacy, including from people who THINK they’re not being racist, and then proceed to support liberal politicians with tough on crime policies who give 12 gorillion dollars to the cops of big cities so they can purchase MRAPs, IFVs, fully automatic rifles and tons of other shit they don’t fucking need. And the SCOTUS ruling doesn’t matter, just get yourselves a SCOTUS that would rule cops have an obligation to help and investigate everything.
Please listen to us. Common sense cop control WILL solve all of this shit you mentioned without ever touching gun laws.
Oh whoop, wrong. There’s been only 14 deaths. Which one of these are actual mass shootings and not something the FBI defines as one but the media doesn’t? Like a bunch of gangbangers shooting at each other, wounding nobody, and causing a stampede that results in people twisting their ankles? That’s considered a mass shooting by the FBI.
I pulled the numbers straight from here. Since 1983, 1176 people were killed in mass shootings.
Also, implying that the “mass shooting problem” requires “extensive work” is not good optics. All that America needs to do is suppress extremist right wing bullshit and mass shootings will cease to exist. Controlling the police on the other hand would require a lot more political power and a lot of reforms, but it would both reduce the amount of deaths AND curb down mass shootings at the same time because literally every single mass shooter only got to commit it because the cops didn’t care.
The police kills more people every year than the amount of people killed in mass shootings since 1983. They also repeatedly ignore reports of people who go on to commit school shootings.
You should look into common sense pig control. I think that would save more lives than just being hysterical about AR-15s.
Does it matter? Petty revenge still caused trillions of deaths. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but I still think he would still have done it even if he knew about Thanos.
Zemo literally caused trillions of sentient beings all around the universe to get erased out of existence by fragmenting the Avengers.
Nintendo has some exclusives I like, plus there’s the entire Switch library at my beck and call as well. I don’t plan on giving money to Nintendo directly: I’ll get the Switch 2 from an official reseller, and any game I get will be physical AND used. Plus I live on Brazil. If I get into any trouble with the console, I can contact PROCON (our consumer protection agency) who is so feared by corporations that whenever their name is mentioned on a support ticket they IMMEDIATELY capitulate. The way they immediately fold is bound to give someone whiplash. It’s one of the main things I like about living in Brazil. People have sued and WON lawsuits for wrongful bans in videogames before here.
If I ever cared to buy an Xbox it would be exclusively for the three following things:
And frankly, I don’t think any of those reasons are truly compelling. I’d rather have a Switch 2.
