My wife nearly always plays a tall barbarian woman when we play DnD and did when we first met IRL and played BG1, BG2, and IWD.
Kar is short for her IRL name and what I've always called her.
She wore a moustache and vato headband for halloween ~13 years ago and I called her Hot Karl (and before that I think she even used Hot Karl as a band name on Guitar Hero or Rock Band years prior).
She's even the same short-ish height (well, short when next to me) as the voice actress for Karlach, Samantha Béart, which while random is still an amusing data point. [I swear I just looked that up on the fly for funsies]
OF COURSE Karlach is best girl, because Wife is best girl. ;)
I'm gonna turn down both Halsin's and the Emperor's sexual advances, again, then remind hot Karl that she's the only one for me, and then when we leave camp, I'll probably immediately get murderized by Sarevok because I'm not gonna join his latest murder cult and he's not gonna like that.
Authoritarian comes in many flavors, and they all have different paths they take that end up with the same result, consistently increasing oppression of personal freedoms in the name of various types of safety or morality or justice or ethics. Anyone can adopt authoritarian ideals if they get to comfortable repeating rhetoric without applying any thoughtful considerations.
"Think of the children" is the ultimate bullshit excuse when it comes to censorship by authoritarians, be they liberal, conservative, moderate, or anarchistic.
LibreOffice works just fine without having yet another third party dev pilfering it to make it their bankroll. They've seemingly built an entire ecosystem with resellers and all trying to FUD themselves into a claim of being more compatible with MS doc formats than LibreOffice.
You are mistaking this as being about "expressing"when it's about navigating it, and that certainly includes understanding healthy realtionship development between individuals that decide to engage in sexual activity.
One party is objectively and cumulatively 'bad' in almost any comparative context by a reasonable observer, and you projected your own views onto others by making assumptions about how they define one party bad on party good. Your point was to dilute the issue so you can prop up the 'both sides' delusion while hurling personal insults at the op. Yeah, the whole system could use a reboot, but playing to that point as gotcha drive-by comments without solutions is just spewing word salad for the sake of typing more words. You are trolling.
The argument seems entirely ost on you in the first place. You don't understand how your assumptions and insults are the problem rather than 'the point'. Why?
What options are there to fix this active extremist right wing slow motion coup that is trying to overthrow our Constitution by destroying established legal precedent?
This is not a one side versus the other political sport contest, this is far beyond any such sophomoric simpleton bullshit.
To correct for the explicitly political gain one team is solely interested in for their own authoritarian redefinition of established precedent that also had their nominees lie their way into their SC positions at the expense of the Constitution and our freedoms. That's the argument.
Karlach is a perfect storm character in my case.
