Trying to change the status quo

Super villains are usually trying to take over the world or rob banks and shit. That’s like saying Jeffery Dahmer was just trying to have a snack.

What type of dog is this?

I mean, Hitler had an underling named Himmler. Sometimes coincidences happen.

That cat is tripping balls.

Point 40: “People have names”.

In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I’d argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?

As for the status quo thing, I honestly don’t know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. “Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform” is an odd pitch.

Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don’t see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren’t as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.

What the fuck did Mexico do?

Ok, so this one specific fan wiki used it wrong. When I was in college they definitely called it “Action Instruction”.

I have no idea what you just said.

That’s because in that context it stands for Action Instruction, not Artificial Intelligence.

They’re dumb, not racist. He’s wasting his vote on a third party candidate.

Because it kills everything you put it in? I don’t know how to tell you that you’re supposed to care about other people.

WHAT THE FUCK

Team Magma is at it again.

Are we talking about the same thing? I replied to someone taking about OpenAI, not porn in general. The creation of porn without the consent of the people fed into the program is nothing short of an ethical nightmare, even in cases where said people are pornstars. You’re painting me as a repressive for shit I didn’t even say.

God forbid people have concerns about ethics.

Well you see the problem is there aren’t any Romans left to scapegoat.

Stonetoss is a Nazi. Please don’t give him exposure.
