Steven, Aang, etc. Take your pick. I should have added characters of similar nature in my statement too. My bad!

Sorry, I thought you meant more traditional superheroes like Superman.

I don't feel like having a proper sperg, so I'll just haphazardly address some of the topics. The way Voyager handled the Borg is a common criticism against the series. TNG only used the Borg like, 5 times, and even then, people sometimes argue that was too much. Voyager basically turned the Borg into this special and very threatening presence into villains of the week that lost most of their threat and menace. It's a criticism that continues to this day, with Picard leaning very heavily on the Borg as villains each season.

Voyager's crew constantly beating the Borg doesn't make Janeway look cool. It makes the Borg look like a bunch of idiots because the writers needed to dumb them down to give Voyager a fighting chance.

Chuck summarized it perfectly in his review of the worst Borg episode that isn't most of Picard.

9:41

Lily keeps acting like elves are a real victimized species and not only a fictional race, but a fictional race that is spread across so many stories that you can't really refer to them as a collective because they're all so wildly different. That's why people disagree with your elf takes, Lily, because you're trying to apply the WoW lore of elves to every other story with elves in it and then getting overly defensive when people try and talk about those elves in relation to their own lore and not WoW.

Elves are pretty much the kind of people Lily wants to be: Perfect at everything, unable to be judged, always lecturing anyone she thinks is beneath her.

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it is, and now what is it is strange and scary to me.

Same. Any attempt of Peet talking about Spider-man would land on my yard. But alas, what could've been.

It’s a small tidbit but I remember in her Harley Quinn video and she talks about Clayface and said “Clayface was random D-List monster like Carnage”

Now… I find the quote funny only because Clayface is easily a B-List Batman villain. Like one of the most revered episodes of BTAS is Heart of Ice and Feat of Clay (the two parter). And people have been wanting a clayface portrayal in a live action movie. And the fact that he was a boss fight in Arkham City was a highlight people point out.

And this is just me second hand sperging.

@A Watchful Ghost im sure you can point out how insane the statement and comparison is for carnage

 

[A Watchful Ghost]

@A Watchful Ghost im sure you can point out how insane the statement and comparison is for carnage

I can.

Spoiler: Spider-man Sperging

In no fucking way are they comparable. Carnage is very much a sadistic bastard that enjoys killing people, as his own life led him down this path thanks to a shitty family life along with his adoration for killing for their own amusement. He is one of the few villains even Peter agrees letting him live would be too much. He is not a deep character, but he has a quite a lot of characterization beyond being a monster. Furthermore, he is the definition of pure evil to the point he has killed many versions of venom because it was fun.

Clayface is often portrayed as a tragic character who circumstances often brings a monstrous side to him, making his actions erratic, but more often than not he has sought redemption, and even was part of the bat family for a time. His background as an actor makes him extremely complex when written right.

TL;DR: Carnage is a true psychopath and someone that can't redeemed, while Clayface has been portrayed in such a way that redemption is possible. Peet's once again looking at it in a superficial level

If this asshole wanted an accurate comparison, there's fucking Victor Zsazz. He is the closest comparison to Carnage instead of just taking a look of being two gooey monsters, and being mindless killers because they look scary.

 

[BrokenGlassofWater]

TL;DR: There was good reason, but as long as you don't chimp out at other posters you can call Jerry/Lily/CD-Call/Tara/Lorch whatever you want. I only suggest to keep political sperging away (because Lily is fucking funny and rage inducing without it) and such. I don't speak for everyone and I encourage you to do what you will.

I've been sitting on this, and I want to touch back on it.
I'm sorry in advance if I offend someone's sensibilities for making this point.

It's this attitude about the thread that I appreciate over Twitter and Tumblr.
While I do not encourage deadnaming in the present context, I do bring up CD-Call's deadnames in context to the time.
However, even when I do that, I'm still encouraged to not even do that on Tumblr, and I have my moments where I feel like the goalpost is being moved... and for who? The sexual predator who (allegedly, but very likely) raped her sister... why? Because she'll accuse the person of being a bigot? CD-Call is going to call me a bigot for criticizing her either way, regardless of how much work I put in to respect her pronouns and current name. It's something Crim has posted about before that I agree with. Unless the person is engaging in an actual crime against her, I don't understand why CD-Call's feelings should be taken into consideration when bringing up names she chose to use in the time she used them.

I'm sorry if I come off as the most retarded dumbass for trying to keep the story straight. I haven't been the best at critiquing CD-Call, and I've gotten a lot of clap for being annoying, even if that clap doesn't reach me until it's too late to fix. It's why I haven't been active on Tumblr much: I'm trying to revitalize my page in a way that keeps the information straight and doesn't offend the sensibilities of people on Tumblr.

I'm not there yet, but I am trying.

 

[The Incredible Gassy]

Its really odd since Clayface is getting his own movie. Why Jerry thinks millions of dollars would go into making a movie about a "d-list" character, I don't know.

I feel like a person with a superficial knowledge of super-hero comics would atleast know who clayface is. If not from the comics than BTAS.

Comparing Carnage and Clayface is retarded. Does Jerry think Mister Freeze and Captain Cold are the same because they're both ice themed criminals?

 

[Cyber Bowling]

It’s a small tidbit but I remember in her Harley Quinn video and she talks about Clayface and said “Clayface was random D-List monster like Carnage”

I think everyone has already touched on Clayface's popularity, although I'll also add he was even part of the Batfamily for awhile in...something, Batman and the Not Outsiders. I obviously don't remember it, but I don't recall it being bad and I think Clayface especially was a standout and people were upset when it kinda got retconned away because they wanted him to keep being a good guy, or at least have it addressed.

But the bigger issue is...Carnage as a D-List villain? Really? While I think he has dropped in popularity compared to the 90's/early 2000's, there's still multiple comic arcs and even at least one video game centered around him, plus he had a string of sidequests in the recent Spider-man game. I might not call him an A-list Spider-man villain, but only because Spider-man already has a very prominent rogues gallery, but he's easily pretty high on the B-tier, and at the very least, a villain most people who aren't even that into comics could probably name just because of how much he used to be pushed.

This is why the linguistics game is played. You can make all the brilliant points in the world, present all the evidence, be as objective as possible, but because your target is cloaked in a magic spell of minority status you can only ever dislike them if you're a bigot. You must conform to their demands or it's proof of your bigotry, no matter how many eggshells you walk on.

People weaponized language. Most folks don't want to be called ir a racist or a misogynist, so that's the soell of protection-- you call someone calling you out mean words and suddenly they're on the back foot having to prove they aren't whatever istaphobe they've been accused of being. And that proof will always include never being able to speak out against the 'oppressed' class, lest you just prove the accusations correct again. You have to shut up or else you're a bad person.

Doesn't matter you own identity, either. Also a minority? Internalized bigotry. Woman? Either internalized misogyny, or actually you're a man pretending otherwise. Trans? Internalized TRANS misogyny, even if you're a trans man. You point out the hypocrisy and it doesn't matter because it was never about respect, it was about control, and you've already made yourself the enemy. The game is rigged. They will always demand more and more 'proof' of your goodness until it's no longer just passive silence but active advocacy.

The only winning move is to decide at what point you stop caring.

I use Lily's pronouns for the same reason AMHOLIO pointed out-- the benefit of OTHER people, who stumble on this thread when they're already open-minded enough to look for evidence. You'll never reach people who are already looking for any excuse to dismiss you, but it's an open door for people who are a little more willing, and there have been a few who actually were de-programmed because they came to the nest of vipers and realized it wasn't just a circle jerk of people saying 'lol tranny'.

Tumblr is going to be a rough place to penetrate, but you're doing the right thing the way you handle it and you shouldn't let other bullshit clog up the line. The more you twist yourself in knots trying to appease people, the more they figure they can push you. You just keep doing what your doing, you're plenty respectful. The people who are willing to listen will listen, and the people who aren't will eventually realize you can't be controlled.

Elf simping/orc bashing

Anonymous asked:
Tangentially related to the elf thing, but I find it kind of hilarious how most stories build up orcs as the biggest baddest toughest thing around, while Tolkien (who most of them are ripping off at least in part) wrote his orcs to be weaker than the average human and having to rely on technology and superior numbers to achieve victory. Most modern depictions of orcs as we know them can generally be traced back to Warhammer, which is way more recent. If these people want to complain about what fantasy races "should be traditionally", then orcs should be getting a negative modifier to strength.


Yeah in LOTR the Orcs are gangly little fuckers.
I don't mind the way Forgotten Realms and Warcraft do orcs, it's just that some fragile people tie all of their masculinity into their Orc OCs and so Strength becomes their defining feature.
However using Warcraft as a basis, it's actually Constitution and Wisdom that define the Orcs. They practice shamanism, they're in tune with the elements, and all of the most notable Orc leaders are Shamans EXCEPT Garrosh whose defining trait is overcompensation.
Hell, Sylvanas carves a deep gash in Saurfang's leg and he just gets back up. That's Constitution, not Strength.
The whole "Blood and glory die with honor" shit is a cultural death spiral that is explicitly shown to have doomed their people twice over. It's the thing that makes the Orcs interesting, and without it they're just another sad boy power fantasy.

What does being permanently killed mean?


Every edition of D&D has conditions for a character to be permanently killed, where they simply cannot b resurrected. Taking at least 10 overkill damage, being hit with a vorpal strike, being hit with a Disintegration, etc. In a lot of versions of D&D, this means you can't make a Save vs Death.
Is this not a thing in 5e, or is it one of those things where the mechanics make it a lot rarer than it should be?
For the Forsaken/Darkfallen, if they take fatal damage from Fire or Holy damage, they are permanently killed. For the Orcs, all death is a permanent death.

More D&D stuff.

Anonymous asked:
What does "Cultural Alignment" mean?


Cultural alignment sets the axis for that culture. So for example the Blood Elves are Chaotic Good, so their preferred alignments are along the Chaotic and Good axis.
So if a spot on the grid is green, this aligns to what most of that race tends to be, because of the culture they grow up in. Yellow means you're an outlier, and considered strange. This would just be something you tell players to guide their character-building decisions. Pretty much up to them if they actually us it or not.

Lily on class restrictions with a pinch of elf simping.

Anonymous asked:
What do you think about the claim that race/class restrictions limit freedom and player choice?


I've found that's often said by people who view the setting and cultures of an RPG as little more than a sandbox and aren't interested in getting invested in it or playing along with it. A friend of mine plays modern D&D and is a big supporter of "Every Race, Every Class" and he almost exclusively plays in homebrew settings and knows very little about Forgotten Realms at all.
Race/Class restrictions DO limit player freedom, but they make the cultures feel more authentic, so it's worth it. And players who are invested in the game they're playing will make something interesting out of it.
A lot of 5e players are so accustomed to throwing half the rulebook away the instant it inconveniences them, and I wonder why you're even playing a game at all in that case.
WoW has that guy as well, the guy who thinks they need to add every class to every race, and that guy always thinks that Blood Elves joining the Horde was "narratively absurd" and that the game needs to get rid of factions and that the series' entire main premise itself is worthless and after a certain point it becomes "Why are you playing this game if everything about it makes you cringe?"
To me, "Every Race, Every Class" is the deathrattle for an RPG, because it's the point where people stop engaging with it authentically and start filling it with self-conscious irreverence. This was why I stopped playing D&D: At some point people stopped engaging with it in any way beyond memes and ironic self-aware gags.
The moment you introduce any restriction, even something as minor as Paladins falling, they have to think about why that restriction is in place and it's starts getting too nerdy for them to handle.

Yeah it’s obvious she doesn’t care about art cause she feels that being the artist who draws is low on totem pole. (Hence her artist meltdown video) but honestly… you can’t even name one thing you find aesthetically pleasing?

I personally like Telltale’s Wolf Among Us looks. How it had that comic book like art and shading along with its more noir story compared to the magic focus and fairy tale tropes in Fables. (By that I mean I like it TWAU was more a noir story with fairy tale elements compared to focusing more on fairy tales and their tropes)

Lily on modern writing

Spoiler: Sorry sperged out there

Now this is interesting. What does Lily mean irony poisoning? I’m going to assume CD-Lil means a show that takes itself too seriously.

Which is funny cause one of the the main complaints I’ve seen about Modern Writing is how most stuff have this MCU-esque way of writing. Having quips, stuff being taken NOT serious at all. Hell (pun not intended) one of the complaints I’ve seen Helluva Boss had in one episode where it was obvious there was an emotional and actual interesting conflict was just ruined by well… leaning into violence in a joking way.

The example being one of the characters Loona has to kill this Mr.Rodgers/Ned Flanders goodie too shoes. And she’s looking for a reason to actually kill him (since they’re contact killers) and he’s really just an honest good guy. He has a speech about accepting who you are (which Loona has self doubts) and then she reveals her Hellhound form and that’s when it goes to shit cause they didn’t let that serious moment hang cause the guy scream and she screams accidentally pulling the trigger.

Liberal though… I mean you can debate about certain things but like She Hulk? The writers had an interesting character. And could’ve had any any interesting plot point, like her not wanting to be a superhero which was there for five seconds. Yet the writers admit they didn’t know how to write a court room drama. But they did know patriarchy… and twerking.

Or how in current media they don’t want to make black males stereotyped as thugs and such. Noble. So how do they that? Making them very metrosexual. Or how certain characters are race swapped but they say it doesn’t matter. Yet people freaked out that T’Challa had a white son in the comics and wanted to be Black Panther.

Like we can debate about quality but the main thing is people had complained about politics being ham fisted into the show or movie for the sake of entertainment value.

TLDR: Lily didn’t provide example of her definition of modern writing. I did.

Yeah it’s obvious she doesn’t care about art cause she feels that being the artist who draws is low on totem pole. (Hence her artist meltdown video)

I mean most of that video was just her thinking that someone she treated like shit because they asked for simple credit that takes 10 seconds to implement is in the wrong for being public and vocal about how she treated her. It's less about how she thinks being an artist who draws is low on the totem pole and more artist who draws and doesn't let her do whatever she wants with their art is low on the totem pole. Same reason why she was desperate to salvage Lizzys puppet images instead of swapping hers out after the """abuse""".

I don't know why (okay, I do, he's a chronic liar) but it's baffling how Lily keeps lying about having played D&D in the past when he's pretty clearly only played the BG games. In one of the asks, he makes it sound like he stopped playing D&D because of...memes, I guess? I don't actually know what he meant, and I suspect he doesn't either.

But his argument for every class/every race ruining culture is, to the surprise of nobody, a pretty bad take. Restrictions don't lend to creativity, it just leads to all those cultures feeling samey. With those restrictions in place, you could never run across a society of dwarves where they embrace arcane magic for example instead of being the typical axe wielding fighters we normally see. Or to use an example Lily would like, a tribe of nomadic elves who embody the aspects of animals in their jungle kingdom, and they pride themselves on physical strength and mercilessly stalk and hunt down orcs, flying into a wild barbarian rage where they rip and tear orc bad guys apart who were bullying some other innocent elves for cuddling with their sister.

In 2e, you just can't (by the book, at least) do those things. So there's no culture of cool elven barbarians. Or if there is, you have to jump through hoops to make it actually mechanically work. And because those options aren't normally on the table, you end up with very cookie cutter cultures. This dwarven clan is going to be about strength and honor because...well, that's all they can really be about since they only have access to these 4 classes. An elven knight who's really into worshiping one of the like 30 elven gods that exists? He best be a fighter who just RPs having a divine connection, because only humans can be paladins, so that elven knight will never be able to use a holy avenger or cast divine spells. Sure, you can multiclass, but in 2e, that meant you were always leveling in two classes, so if you only wanted to be a little bit fighter and mostly cleric, there just wasn't a way to do it, it was all or nothing.

It's not like making every class open to every race suddenly made D&D a ruleless free for all. There's still plenty of restrictions just based on levels alone and the rules in general. A level 1 halfling wizard isn't suddenly going to drop meteor swarm or teleport around the battlefield, they're just going to be casting the same basic spells as a level 1 elf wizard.

"You see humanity as a whole are much like myself retarded and consistently pick fights they are guaranteed to lose because they are to mentally deficient and narrow minded and so refuse to accept absolute truths that contradict their worldview."

Clearly this is a trait of the homo that it believes is a common feature of the entire human race. Though historically wars being declared by people against other nations that they are at a clear disadvantage is somewhat common though often times there is usually a "strategy" of varying degrees of viability to overcome this disadvantage or frequently due to various factors they just don't have a clear grasp of the big picture of how fucked they are (See for example the Franco-Dahomey wars.). But generally things become well understood after you've lost a least a few times and if there is nothing to gain and allot to loose by pursuing a fight most people will back off. It usually when someone has allot to loose potentially by not pursuing fights that they deliberately start or continue one that they don't have a good chance of winning.

There are however retards that pursue fights they clearly can't win for no real gain but they are usually people of the same ilk as the creature or that the creatures views as morally, physically, and intellectually superior people to evil white male racist chuds (See the strong BIPOC warrior womyn of Dahomey.).

Real world problems right here, people thinking one fictional race is stronger than another.

Well it does make some sense, the creature vehemently denies that there are any actual inherent strength differences between men and women. The fact men are almost always obviously bigger and visibly have more muscle mass is a highly visible and absolute contradiction to this view and so the creature has to deny the idea increased muscle mass and size have anything at all to do with strength in all forms.

Yeah yeah, we know you have a hard on with Dragon Age and the elf kingdoms before their ultimate desmise thousands of years ago in the current timeline.

She doesn't even like DS9. She called Voyager better than it in her media literacy video.

DS9 is the worst thing media can possibly be: serialised. It has seasonal plot arcs and more than one three-parter, which is superbad evil nogood nastiness made by nazis..

Really hates the Worgen, huh? Given what the later anon says I guess that makes sense.

What gets me, just generally, is the idea that she wants this to be 'a joke' when people call her out on her bullshit but will then argue until dawn about how uh actually these are super lore accurate and correct. It's the same thing with her writing tips; they were all really good advice until she got blowback, then suddenly '80% of them were jokes' (was is the ten about not being a bigot? The ones decrying pedophilia? Which ones were jokes?), then she posted a joke list to convince people this was definitely what she was talking about. It's serious unless you make fun of her, then you're the stupid one for taking her seriously.

Regarding her thing about races and classes-- yeah, she's really just advocating racial homogeneity. I get having class preferences in according to general culture, but what if I want to play an Elf Barbarian and my whole backstory is specifically about my internal conflict with my adoptive family (a group of dwarves, obviously) versus the cultural expectations of my birth people when my adventuring party at last returns to an elven city and they wish to welcome me in memory of my parents, and I have to decide whether to learn about my true heritage or reject the elves and continue to embrace my dwarven brethren? By Lily's logic I'm not allowed to explore internal conflicts like that, or play a character from a non-arcane race but I dip into Wizardry for a level or two because I made good friends with the party Sorcerer and they were willing to teach me a couple of cantrips.

She even makes the argument that you can ignore the racial alignment if you prefer, so why can't you enjoy mingling an off-clas with a unique race and really explore the impact that would have?

Of course I'm talking about characterization and internal conflict and Lily doesn't believe in that kind of thing so never mind, I answered my own question.

Just report Jerry on Bluesky for his glorification of violence and move on.
