I'll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don't know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I've let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives
Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for
We had a whole ass argument about goblin slayer here once. If you want my takes, goblin slayer dogwhistles alt-right talking points under a fantasy guise. Think like, someone saw the parts of The Lord of the Rings that could be construed as racist and said, "Hmmmm, yes, let's crank it up to 11". Shield hero is slavery apologia ("it's ok to own slaves if you treat them well!") and is deeply misogynistic.
lol yeah i started that thread
seems the deviationists from last time aren't here to defend their views today
Omg lol so you did. Federation has made everything seem so long ago.
Look I'll be real I'll take bad media takes from other hexbear's right now over all the bullshit I'm seeing from the libs/chuds out in the lemmyverse, at least I know the other poster's a comrade who's trying their best.
The Lord of the Rings is racist to the bone. Goblin Slayer is just a continuation of the same with less poetry.
Modern fantasy's racism came directly from Tolkien. It certainly wasn't from 14th century English fairytales that Tolnien was referencing.
