Pokemon is good because everybody who plays is given the exact same storyline and choices, but every person has a completely unique experience.
There are currently over 750 trillion different team combinations, even each individual pokemon has only a 1 in 50 billion chance of being identical to another of the same species. And that’s not even including pokemon having different moves… That means that every Pokemon is a valuable once in a lifetime companion, and your adventure with your pokemon is and will always be completely unique to you, and that’s really special.
If you call yourself a real gamer, you must have well-reasoned opinions about which Overwatch characters would shoot Sonic the Hedgehog in the back, and be prepared to defend them. I don’t make the rules – that’s just how it is.
Ana: betray. Considers Sonic a loudmouthed fool.
Bastion: defend. Loves small mammals.
D.Va: betray. D.Va has a military background and considers Sonic a liability.
Genji: defend. Genji knows the horrors of betrayal and would never inflict it upon another.
Hanzo: defend. Hanzo would never tarnish his honor by betraying another again.
Junkrat: betray. Junkrat would explode Sonic as soon as he ceased to be amusing.
Lucio: defend. Sonic and Lucio are both staunch defenders of freedom.
McCree: defend. Appreciates Sonic’s ability to be himself.
Mei: defend. Her wrath is only deployed against humans.
Mercy: neutral. Finds Sonic annoying, but too committed to the Hippocratic oath to actually kill him.
Pharah: complex. Sonic is admittedly a liability, but Pharah would never leave a teammate behind.
Reaper: betray. Takes himself too seriously to tolerate Sonic’s humility.
Reinhardt: defend. Sonic acts out of an inner nobility that Reinhardt would respect.
Roadhog: defend. Hog solidarity.
Soldier:76: defend. Thinks too highly of himself to betray another.
Sombra: complex. I am fully willing to believe she would shoot Sonic if it would aid her, but I also believe she thinks of Sonic as too amusing to kill.
Symmetra: betray. Sonic is an agent of chaos and cannot be tolerated.
Torbjorn: betray. Torbjorn is already basically Eggman.
Tracer: betray. Can’t handle the competition.
Widowmaker: betray. Sonic’s earnest nature reminds her of what she lost.
they did in-depth interviews with 137 scientists and about 35% of them mentioned Dawkins unprompted, and about 80% of those were apparently just desperate to tell someone how much they hate him
28% of scientists hate Richard Dawkins so much that they just start spouting off about his bullshit unprompted.
yes griogri rasputin had a huge impact on history but let’s not forget that thanks to him we’re blessed with 2 absolute bangers, boney m’s rasputin and in the dark of the night from the Anastasia OST
baffling how much of this site is just conservative protestantism with a gay hat
you know what i’m in just enough of a bad mood that i’m ready to nail my grievances to the church door so let’s fucking go
black and white morality wherein anyone who doesn’t believe/think/live exactly as I do is a dirty sinner Problematic and probably a predatory monster
everyone is a sinnerProblematic but true believerspeople who activist the right way according to my worldview are still better than everyone else, and I will act in accordance to this belief in my own superiority to let everyone else know I’m better than them because I found Jesusam the most woke
casual and fucking omnipresent equations of womanhood with softness/goodness/purity/nurturing to remind every woman who isn’t/doesn’t want to be any of those things that they’re doing it wrong
aggressive desexualization (particularly of women’s sexuality, to the point where it may as well not exist at all) accompanied by pastels [not a criticism directed ace ppl having a right to sex-free content and spaces but specifically targeted at a wider problem resulting from the previous point]
YOU’RE VALID AND JESUS LOVES YOU and neither of these platitudes achieves a goddamn thing
historical context is for people who care about nuance and we don’t have time for either (see: black and white morality)
lots of slogans and quotes and nice little soundbites to memorize but does anybody actually study the source material with a critical eye to make their own informed analysis
the answer is no
I’ve been to bible study groups don’t @ me I know what the fuck I’m talking about
Good Christians™ Nice Gays™
don’t fraternize with/let themselves be influenced by non-Christians those terrible queers
all the media one consumes must be ideologically pure or it will surely harm the children
it is Our Sacred Duty to protect the children from Everything, thus ensuring their innocence/purity/etc until such time as they are idk probably 25 years old
literally just “think of the children” moral panic y’all can fuckin miss me with that
people who don’t conform to the dominant thinking WILL be excommunicated/driven from the social group, and any wrong treatment they suffer will be seen as a justified consequence of their wrong thinking

Thank you for breaking it down like that because so many of us have been saying it but to see a play by play breakdown comparison is just…Thank you.
