Even people who love the game say there's a lot of brainrot (complimentary?) and fandom stuff because there just objectively is. There's literally a

There's bits about Ralsei as merchandise with an actual plush. There's just a ton of extremely "for the fans" content.

Being kept up at night thinking about Mamdani scratching his anus is definitely something. Is this real?

You might like Endless Empty. It's kinda rough and the first real zone frankly looks pretty ugly, but overall it's a really beautiful little indie RPG thing. It has my favorite premise for an RPG story:

I was just thinking about it because they had an announcement for the upcoming related title recently. It's definitely one of my favorite JRPGs along with OFF. Honestly there's a slightly higher chance you'd like Nepenthe, because it's more Undertale-like in both mechanics and tone.

I know someone who is ludicrously sensitive to everything and that includes motion sickness on trains. I can get a little sick in cars sometimes, but even when I was on the train multiple times a day for months, I've never gotten sick from it.

Jonas finds out it means being executed. People who break rules, babies that don't have proper genetics or are excess population, etc. are all "released."

I'm so happy we don't have anything like that in capitalist society.

It's sort of like how animal mascots get shoehorned in.

If someone is in prison for it, it means they commited a crime.

Are we on a communist board mostly populated by Americans where you are saying that everyone in prison is actually guilty of what they were convicted of? I'm not saying it's that common for people to be falsely accused of CSA (I have no idea), but people get put in prison for terrible crimes that they didn't commit all the time.

But those people in prison deserve to be there. Never forget that.

It's better for people to be rehabilitated and contribute constructively to society. There is no "deserving" punishment. Either they need to be put away for the time being for the common good, or you're literally just torturing someone.

IMO the punishment for the crimes those people committed should be execution. Chemical castration is way too merciful.

Never mind, you're just being a retributive sicko. I won't speculate on your root motivation for saying it (every possibility that I can think of is pretty rude to suggest) but you're just advocating for complete barbarism in a way that's divorced from any serious path to make society better. Just "kill the baddies."

Wait, there are people on here who actually believe this?

There's a difference between "This is a woman who I am attracted to, and she has x and y features that you could call neotenous if you really wanted to" vs "I specifically have a sexual attraction to more neotenous women"

I don't see why anyone would "choose" to be a pedophile

It is worth noting that there are people who don't seem to have the mental illness (nor are victims of CSA) but seem to like it as a power thing, ranging from weebs to soldiers.

But you are right there are people who just have the mental illness, are revolted at the idea of hurting children, and desperately need help that doesn't impugn on their character for something that isn't their fault.

Literally what about the KR was "Marxist"? You can argue that they were socialist in the crassest, broadest sense, but nothing about their project is Marxist specifically that I've ever heard of, and all of what I've heard (e.g. glasses) is anti-Marxist.

Now granted, I think Deng was probably right that the number of people the KR killed gets exaggerated significantly (people say 25% of the population, which is absurd), but the people they killed were still mostly Cambodian civilians and they would have been happy to kill more than they are accused of if they viably could kill more civilians than they already did and were given some excuse by their doctrines (e.g. glasses).

At least, this is my understanding of the matter. I'm happy to be corrected (except on them being Marxist, because I'm pretty confident that they weren't).

The Giver is about communism? I thought it was just teen dystopian dreck with no political relevance like Divergent or Maze Runner or whatever. Granted, I have read none of the three.

When people make it very clear that they are your enemies and also make it clear which of their own enemies they are most afraid of, that is a very good argument for joining the second group.
