  • Honestly the idea itself, as insane and barely disguised a fetish as it is, isn’t even that bad, to me.

    It’s the planned aftermath that is pretty horrendous?

    The idea that they would need that for their relationship to evolve in a positive direction when they’re already basically a couple by Shindig is genuinely sad, if they wanted that grim a story beat they should probably place it after they’re already an established couple and Mal has gotten over his shit about companions, then there’s some good meat on the bone in terms of character dynamics to explore.





    • Given how Serenity turned out, firefly’s cancellation was probably for the best, making the reavers the intentional by-product of alliance experiments completely destroyed the nuances of the factions in the war of independence.

    • Inuyasha ran out of ideas 10-15 tankobon in, and Takahashi just kept milking it for the money.

    • Every fandom that accepts the “x is for everyone” motto is accepting enshittification and casualization with open arms. Air and water are for everyone, even bread has people who dislike it, for something to be unique it necessarily will have haters. The right word is anyone.

    • Archer had a bit of a dip when Adam Reed left the writing team but it recovered and had one of the best endings possible for a series that long lived.












  • You’re appealing to definitions as if they matter in real world contexts.

    If I created a group called “the bad people killers” and started killing people would that “by definition” mean everyone I killed was bad?

    Communism may be defined as a wheelbarrow full of monkeys for all that matters, in the real world every self-sufficient communist regime was a shitshow of state capitalism, coercion, censorship, and state violence. All the drawbacks of capitalism and none of the perks.

    That’s what communism, descriptively, is. The day you figure out a way to manifest reality by sheer will alone without having to deal with the real world I will be interested in what something is “by definition”
