Maybe people are just afraid of bugs.

Reminds me of this scene from chainsaw man:

This is good stuff! I like the Rupert Murdoch one as well:

Yeah, I can understand how it’s easy to get burnt out having to give an explanation every time for why a character is the way they are, it’s exhausting. There are so many challenges to fantasy writing but that shouldn’t be one of them.

Hope you can keep writing awesome characters and stories!

I’m not asking you to curb your imagination. I’m saying you don’t have the right to tell other people how they want to see themselves or disabled characters in fantasy settings, if you’re gonna be rude about it.

Hi. I have a mild physical disability, and this point comes up quite a lot in different settings, including fantasy fiction. “If such and such is a fantasy setting, why does character simply not be disabled?” Is something many able bodied people like to assume.

Without going into how hurtful it is to assume that what all of us want is to be “able bodied”, you’re basically taking away a person’s agency to tell a story about themselves as they are. And there are many stories to be told!

So instead of trying to use logic to negate these kinds of characters from stories and fantasy settings, I challenge you to expand your own definition of what’s possible. There’s plenty of room for all of us.

Sigh. Look, if you’ve never been to a jeep consortium, that’s just how it goes. Hairy things flopping all over, kindof like a rave with more roll bars. I never want to see that much pubic hair again in my life.

Me playing Zelda needing a strength powerup be like

Ready Player One was a dystopia and Zuck was so enamored it became required reading for building the “Metaverse”.

Billions of dollars can’t buy you the ability to sense irony I guess.

It’s not that they’re not religious. They just don’t pick only one. As they say, “Born Shinto, married Christian, die Buddhist”

Death… No! I mean cake! Ahhhhhh!

Definitely a question worth an interrobang. I never understood the “we need to pretend follow the law so we can break it” policy

All Cops Are Barfedupon?

Hey now, go easy on them

… they’re doing everything they can.

god that kid is excited.

“Hey wait… where are you going? You get right back here and stop embarrassing me!”

This is the one I think:

Noo YOU’RE awesome. Hugs for everyone!

It’s been like that about Whole Foods since the 80s. John Mackey is a libertarian fuckhead and it’s been a series of people realizing it ever since.

They hired union busters all the time.

In the 10’s he tried to sell his book “conscious capitalism” on the shelves. Surprise surprise, no one bought it.
