  • If it was her decision that her full face should be on display, the backlash should be evidence enough that someone else gets paid to make those decisions, not her.

    The original looks boring. She has absolutely no emotions on her face. There’s no mystique, no ‘wickedness’. Even the composition looks like something a high schooler in Photoshop class would make.

    The edit isn’t perfect either. But at least it pays homage to the original in more than just image. It adds that mystique back, and makes her look more menacing.

    What it truly boils down to is ego. Although the edit is better, and so many people agree on it, it doesn’t show her full face. And she can’t let that go.

    Honestly from the limited knowledge I have, Mongolians seemed to be the one of the chillest of invaders. They gave you a clear choice, let us rule you or die. And once they ruled you they allowed many freedoms that crusaders and colonizers didn’t. Their tactics were brutal and I think that’s why people see them as so evil.

    The meme format doesn’t really work, but the joke they’re trying to make is that even though they did all these terrible things, it was never because of religion. In fact, they just didn’t give a fuck in what you believed in. Genghis even allowed religious figures to be exempt from taxation.





  • Because the show writers are the same that wrote the game, last of us has a very strong advantage. They can’t deviate from the plot and key elements because they are too invested in it. But they can change what they feel like is weaker, or wouldn’t work as well in a show format. And its really noticable if you played both the game and the show. They’ve discussed how they already planned it to be a two season series, but they also mentioned if they have enough inspiration and they can figure out a way to make a third season that stays within the spirit of the story line, and they honestly enjoy it then they will.

    With the first season being as good as it was, I have complete and utter faith in them.












  • Thats a bit of a glass heart take. I, personally, don’t think animals should suffer before they’re slaughtered. They should live happy lives up until then. But we’re predators just like any other carnivore.

    The only difference is that we have stronger emotions and the ability to consider the consequences of our actions as well as empathy for other beings.

    But if you like meat, you’re not being a baby. If anything it’s the opposite. You care less about the animals than the meat it comes from. And I don’t think that’s wrong. That’s just evolution.

    We’re such strong predators, that the majority of humans will never even kill their prey. We cage animals and slaughter them to feed our masses. And as long as we do that ethically (which we’re not. I’ll admit that), I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature.

    You wouldn’t deny a lion it’s prey, so why berate fellow humans for the same thing? Instead the focus should be on ethical and sustainable ranching and farming.
