    Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.

    Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.

    With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.

    Not sure that’s the reason but there is a Russian version of lord of the rings where sauron is the good guy fighting for the rights and freedoms of the working class orcs against the fashist rule if the elves and Gandalf.

    There is also a light novel about Putin (or maybe Stalin?) being teleported to middle earth with a few guns/tanks and helps sauron win.

    So yeah Russian propaganda sympathises with orcs



  • “Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

    So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.


  • You didn’t read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn’t fit into the games setting and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

    I found the article to very informative and not at all “gamergatey”.

    Its points are:

    • this is the scene
    • it is bad
    • here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
    • “its a BioWare self insert”
    • this is how they could have handled it better
    • the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

    The ghost is sad because it locked itself out/forgot the key inside. Second ghost shows up an tells them to just warp through because they are ghosts. But instead of being happy they are inside and never needed the key, they try to move the key outside so they can unlock the door to get inside.
