You don’t have to determine it. They make it painfully, painfully obvious.

I am assuming altruism and insight into the bigger picture on Aladdin’s part, which admittedly is a big reach.

I sincerely wish you were right, but those two are specifically why I’m worried.

How does Marron exist then?

To be fair, Jafar’s power hungry nature and one-track mind is a real obvious character flaw.

Aladdin should have wished for the Star Rod from Paper Mario. Instant story breakage achieved.

I stand by what Game Theory said and say Aladdin should have wished for Jasmine to become Sultan.

Sure it is, and that’s why you chose to patronize me by asking such a stupid question.

Now go play with your toys or something. Go build something with your blocks.

They’re stupid if they don’t know those things and refuse to learn them.

People are allowed to call others stupid and be right about it.

People aren’t committing some great sin by doing so.

The idea we are is the idea the willfully ignorant use to manipulate everyone else into accepting their selfish indolence and it needs to stop.

Everyone says that to try to make themselves appear humble, but most of the ones who genuinely say stuff like 90% of the population is stupid tend to be unequivocally not part of the problem.

It = .world since your reading comprehension is so poor

It should, but it won’t because it’s run by corporate shills who likely were bribed by Meta and possibly even Reddit goons to keep social discourse in the hands of the ruling class.

I’m not sure if anyone even cares anymore, and given how nukes are in the hands of most of the countries turning fascist including Israel, everyone on the planet needs to worry now.

Here’s what everyone should be worried about given this talk:

Israel has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has worked hard to ensure opposing countries like Iran would not be able to have them.

And now Israel’s government is under the thumb of a bunch of genocidal maniacs who don’t give a shit about anything.

I’m thinking we all ought to invest in civil defense, or have some kind of plan B.

🤔 I remember reading a book in school about a family that lived in the Warsaw ghetto. At the end of the book, an agency helped them smuggle the main character’s baby sister out in a basket, and he remarked to himself about how he knew she’d never know who her real family was.

It always stuck with me.

I’m confused, is everyone upset the new games have more depth or are they upset the new games oppose revenge?

Anti-revenge stories are blatantly shallow, preachy propaganda pieces that seek to fulfill a political agenda.

Pro-revenge stories absolutely can and often do have depth and well-written characters.

So let’s stop conflating the two.

Ehh, h’s not wrong. If this David Jaffe guy is a pro-revenge type, of course he has the right to be unhappy: the writers for the new games blatantly said in interviews they completely changed the story around to oppose revenge, completely against the wishes of this Jaffe fellow apparently. Which is ironically a vengeful act.

People don’t have the right to just change stories to suit their personal opinions and the new writers need to learn to respect that.

Lest the writers after that change it back to a pro-revenge story with depth and good writing just to spite them.

Blatant anti-revenge stories are bland, predictable, preachy and uninteresting.

Only this time, the countries falling to fascism generally have nukes, so now there’s ultimately no way to stop them.

And people don’t want to listen and reject them en masse.

So evil is winning.
