Get ready for a lot of false positives.

She’s a human being that deserves a fair trial.

I’ll just leave this here.

Not really. You just interpreted it in a less shitty way than intended.

Voltaire never said that. He lived under a monarchy, so it wouldn’t have made sense if he did. That quote was made up by a neo nazi and falsely attributed to him.

Considering who’s pushing it the hardest, it probably is.

To be fair, people tried to shoot him too.

Bojack, we’ve been over this. You have to be better than that.

I didn’t say anything about communists. I said I missed being able to interact with people who shared my hobbies. I just want to grill talk about cartoons and video games.

Also, I was sold on Lemmy because they told me it was an user owned alternative to reddit, which was going tits up at the time. “It’s a communist website.” Is not what they told me to get me over here.

Absolutely. There’s just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you’re a trekkie I guess. Then you’re set.)

But in the end it has to be this way

No, painted dogs are something else.

Good riddance.

Trying to change the status quo

Super villains are usually trying to take over the world or rob banks and shit. That’s like saying Jeffery Dahmer was just trying to have a snack.

Are you referring to The Legend of Rah and the Muggles? That was found to be bullshit the second people read the book. It’s an extremely weird story about nuclear fallout, talking animals, and a shit ton of meandering filler. The only similarity was use of the word “muggle”, which doesn’t even mean the same thing in both stories. JK may be a TERF now, but she is not a plagiarist.

In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I’d argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?

As for the status quo thing, I honestly don’t know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. “Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform” is an odd pitch.

Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don’t see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren’t as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.

Not everyone who dies becomes a ghost. Ghosts are people who can’t pass on due to having unfinished business.

No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?

You can’t call something a graphic novel if it’s only one page long though, so what do you call it?
