  • I'm actually enjoying the result of this, where they are now exploring these partial video game worlds in world.

    Berserk of Gluttony is a current example. The isekai genre posits these videogame-esque worlds. So I like that other animes are now exploring them.

  • You just have to look at western sensibilities to understand the missing harem trope. The heroes in Western stories have a once in a lifetime romance. If there's a problem with the romance, it's part of the evil plot device (Ursula in the little mermaid.)

    Western power fantasy tropes come in the form of the white savior or agents above the law tropes. John Carter was written in the early 1900's, Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein in the 60's.

    Octavia Butler takes those classically white and Western tropes and turns them on their head.

    Also, collapse of society movies are close to American/English isekai because of our obsession with both apocalypse and saviors. Walking dead is a great example.

  • On the first cast he's fine, after that and he's responsible for breaking up a few families who insist that their loved ones "could never be evil", he's wrapped up with the local magistrate for months, maybe it even makes it to the Duke himself.

    The second time, after his resentment to the people who caused him suffering, his internal wish that they go as well. He's fucking gone and you need a new priest.

    *Edit- NVM, since the cleric/priest/whatever is the same level as the caster (the same cleric), it's just making him deaf for a few minutes, that'll be more of a wakeup call for him maybe.

  • Generally I wouldn't disagree with you, but it's interesting this article doesn't mention that the entire democratic caucus voted to remove McCarthy.

    So yes, this was a Republican effort, but it would not have been possible to put the house in this position without the full support of Democrats. Just interesting this doesn't mention that at all.

  • Bro what are you talking about, you used to lift?

    You're talking about possibly multiple different squat types. A full depth squat you'll naturally want to use the bounce, that means you've done the exercise correctly, it's entirely natural.

    A full depth squat with no bounce would be called a pause squat, you are purposefully controlling the bounce so you train a different part of the movement, you use these with regular squats.

    A box squat or parallel squat does not use the full range of motion, you either stop at your thighs being parallel to the ground or you use a box or a chair for a queue.

    If you have someone discovered something that every expert hasn't, you should write a book!

  • People in South Korea are not regularly bombed in rocket attacks, SK does not require houses have steel-reinforced concrete bunkers.

    The last time a North Korean killed a South Korean was a long time ago, I don't know that I would call these situations comparable.

    If NK did start shelling Seoul and attacking civilians near the DMZ, that would legitimately be unexpected.

  • I think that's actually the crux of our disagreement and I don't think we'll come together on it.

    I think the fact that he ever engaged in any sort of romantic relationship with a 12 year old makes him more likely to do it again, he's the kind of person who would get into a relationship with a 12 year old as a 24 year old.

    I believe you are taking the face value indication from the word "genuine relationship" and not really interrogating the "with a 12 year old" part. I don't think anything I say is gonna change that, and I don't think your opinion is exactly gonna win over hearts and minds on my end, so I guess I'll end it there!

  • Remember what happened to Madison Cauthorn when he went against his party?

    Gaetz is a bombastic, cavalier party asshole. I bet he constantly fucks stories like these into his friends ears. Every one of them is going to now come out until the silo that houses his support is split and it's contents are spoiled.

  • I just want you imagine the type of person who would get into a genuine relationship with a 12 year old. You don't see it happening again?

    I think this child predator would try to get in another "genuine relationship" with another child, frankly.

  • So let the dude prey on other children? Or spend resources on closely monitoring him for however long his parole is, same with the mom. But as you noted, these "stupid" people are a continuing risk, right? I don't know, maybe this is the appropriate use of prison, I do wish there were education and rehabilitation programs that weren't gutted, but in this case prison solves so many problems for the victim!

  • The dude who was in the relationship to the 12 year old and either didn't realize his impact or didn't care, as well as the mother you mean? I would argue they continue to pose a real danger to the daughter, and that man committed an egregious act of abuse on a child who was at worse coerced and at best a victim of a much older person.

    I have no trust he won't engage in this same behavior again. Unless you think it was just an exceptional 12 year old? Like have you met any 12 year olds so wise and beautiful you forgot about the fact they were 12 and just wanted to fuck a baby into them?

    Although I totally agree that the prison system in the US is a sort of torture/slave labor system and many of the people engaged in that system are due to circumstances rather than "crime".

    Absolutely not the case here, this is a pretty easy call to make imo!

  • I wouldn't say you justified, buuuuuuut, you are literally reducing the punishment of the adults because of some perceived additional damage to the abused child. Which almost totally removes the accountability for the act, the only accountability in this case is separation, which would need to be done either way.

    I would say this girl has been so unprotected by her guardians and the rest of the family that separation will be a net positive for her in the future.

    You're characterization of the other person's totally normal opinion as evil tells me everything I need to know about you tho.
