    Han Solo shot first. Screw any of the remakes or special editions he was a pirate and was just protecting himself from an even more dangerous pirate.

      Nope. Sorry but you’re just wrong. “Han shot first” implies Greedo shot second. And he most certainly did not. Han shot, Greedo died. Green fucker with finger suckers didn’t even get a shot off.

    The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

    My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it’s not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.

    Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there’s no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.

      Most ice cream isn’t ice cream anymore. It is frozen dairy product or sometimes not even dairy, sometimes it’s just frozen dessert product.

    The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

    I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there’s a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don’t. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and …yeah he could probably pass but that’s…well it’d be a much easier call if the character and the VA’s “race” matched.

    (In the star trek universe this wouldn’t matter at all, I’m only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

    I disagree vehemently with one of these and I thought it might make a fun little mystery, but on second thought I’ll just state up front it’s the Monty Python one.

    Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it’s implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.

    I dont care about Genshin’s cultural impact, Fortnite’s mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!

    And since I used to say it too: “You can absolutely play without paying money” isn’t an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.

        Genshin Impact is literally spawning so many “open world anime gacha games” trend from so many companies across the world due to its success. It’s one of the top grossing games on mobile games (note: huge chunk of top grossing games (PC and mobile) these days never gets release or popular in the West)

        Some anime-style game franchise that always a single player for more than a decade suddenly releasing “open world anime gacha games” that dead in less than 2 years.

    This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won’t hire other races.

    . No matter how intelligent a person is, they can still make the simplest mistakes for their entire lives, because they stick by of what they’ve learned and die on that hill.

    . Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that’s the most obvious one.

    . For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies “Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that “this means war” and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they’re so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
    The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they’re so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe.” And no, STD and Picard doesn’t do it any justice. Star Trek doesn’t tell why the Federation is or isn’t progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.

    There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.

    Religion needs to be taken out of the government completely

      In the UK we almost have this in something called NCT (National Childbirth Tr. … ust).

      It’s not compulsory and most only do it for their first but you’re kinda so shit scared that most tend to do it.

      The knowledge is good but getting a close network of 5 other couples having a baby within a month of each other is invaluable…for the mums, the dad’s are shit at keeping in touch typically lol

        Me too but it’d turn into eugenics so quickly.

        I was fucking baffled walking out of the hospital with my baby. No training, no proof of education, no tests. Walking out with the nurse in tow asking them "yeah are you sure i don’t need to like sign something?

      I disagree about religion. It should be subordinated to the government. That should stop them from promoting reactionary rethoric. (Assuming the government is half decent in the first place. Otherwise there’s not much difference.)
