That presumes the other side is worthy of arguing with.

We don't reason with rabid dogs. We put them down.

Why I called it a fetish, it really is just people getting weird about playing house until they get tired of it and have to figure out what actually being a homemaking unit with their partner looks like. It's the sex equivalent of all those Mormon dudes who confessed they wouldn't have had so many kids if they knew that one day they were gonna be stuck with them all under one roof during the COVID lockdowns.

Even women actively saying they're looking for that relationship will probably admit once prodded that they're only willing to abide that dynamic with a partner who genuinely pulls the other half of the ship and who genuinely respects and shows proper appreciation of the wife's full time homemaking, y'know, someone who makes them feel like a partner instead of a sex doll with a cooking mode.

The people who adhere the most to trad-wife lifestyles are probably also the people who'd be the least interested in men who are being sold on the trad-wife fad as the ideal woman.

Pretty good reminder Lemmy needs an IAmVeryBadass community

I think it's less views specifically and more about how well it does vs how much it cost to make it.

Wildly successful shows could still be cancelled because they went all in on the budget.

All of those examples are linguistic drift though.

Naming a white girl moana isn't the same as some guy named Peter and his russian buddy Pyotr realizing that their names derive from the same origin in Greek (or Aramaic depending on how much you wanna argue Kefa should count as the origin since Petros was a direct translation of it as a name)

No, just that it'll pretty offensive for the white folks that have made polynesian life hell since just after they found the Pacific to suddenly begin jacking their names and cultural aesthetics because of a fun movie.

This is the same shit as the dreadlocks debate, people are still getting discriminated against for this stuff, it ain't kosher to wear it like a costume while the people it originates from can't wear it without catching shit when it was theirs from the start.

Wait did the captain go down with the ship? I thought the crew was mostly able to escape.

Not the genre I think, but definitely the combined universe schtick. I'm thinking future crossovers will be less cinematic universe building and more having guest stars appear where it suits whoever is writing the movie.

So like Batman and Superman might show up for a cameo if it makes sense but that isn't going to be contributing to some grander narrative that wraps up in a movie featuring the whole justice league against Darkseid or one of their other big bad multiversal threats.

Not at all surprising, just like Netenyahu, the rally around the flag effect only helps you for so long if the public already hated your guts for being a terrible leader.

At this point it's probably more because grass and dirt is the safest surface for all the old fudds that make up most of the playerbase to fall down on.

King tut was a relatively minor ruler, if that was the quality found at his grave site most other pharos would have destroyed the egyptian economy mansa musa style by being discovered

This would imply that the captain and navigation crew intended to crash, which none of the evidence indicates.
