People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

Can I be pedantic and suggest both those names are inappropriate because neither Jocasta nor Oedipus knew they were related? Like, that was the whole point of the story.

Come on Sigmund, I thought you were smart.

Yea, neither of them knew and when they did find out they killed or maimed themselves over it. Oedipus even left his adopted parents because he didn't want the Momfuck Prophecy to happen.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
To be fair, Freud was all about weird unconscious desires that your conscious self would never even consider acting on. So it's less "Oedipus wanted to gently caress his mom" and more "Oedipus was unconsciously attracted to his mom without realizing it."

Well this comment section is pure read meat for this thread.

The latest update for "Isekai de Haishin Katsudou wo Shitara Tairyou no Yandere Shinja wo Umidashite Shimatta Ken" has taken the bold stance of "hey, maybe you should treat sex workers like people and not look down on them due to their jobs" and it has brought all the shitheads out of the woodwork.

I just realized that this thread is a good place to post this deranged Youtube comment I found on a clip from the 12 Kingdoms anime - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GNYV_Tso68

The context of the clip is that this king has been executing huge numbers of people (300,000 per year, which is especially nuts since I'm pretty sure the population of countries in the 12 kingdoms is less than populous Earth countries) for any crime, no matter how minor. People finally rebel and execute the king and his wife (their daughter ends up being exiled and becomes one of the characters that gets followed by the story).

The comment in question (quoted below) is basically like "actually the king wasn't so bad and it was wrong to rebel against him." The part near the end where they mention the daughter of the noble who committed crimes is especially funny, because the story is comically transparent about the fact that the crime was completely fabricated by the king's wife as an excuse to kill the daughter, who she was jealous of for being similarly pretty to the princess. Like the scene in question is literally "someone complimenting the other girl's appearance" followed by the king's wife whispering into his ear about a noble accepting bribery. It very funny to me that someone could see that and be like "such a shame that the noble had to accept bribery..."

quote:

Ah i remember watching this and now that I look back on it more than ever do I disagree with the rebellion. Killing entire families were wrong, but punishing people for theft was wrong why? yes, killing them was no good, but should people be allowed to steal and take what they haven't worked for just because they are starving? Imagine this: Two people. Both need to eat an entire loaf of bread in order to live but there is only one loaf of bread. One of them through hard work manage to buy the bread... but then the other person steals it from them. Should the person that stole it from them be allowed to do so? Yes it is understandable but in the end should be allowed? SO how do you solve it? If the person that bought the bread try to keep it then they would have to fight... now imagine this on the scale of an entire country. This is why there are rules and laws. While a ruler need to take everything into consideration, for the good of the nation and perhaps saving a hundred million people, the ruler might be forced to kill 300 000 people.

Consider this:

When a ruler in the 12 kingdoms die, that nation will quickly be infested by plagues and monsters. In other words, there will be more deaths if the ruler dies than if they lived. So if they wanted to protect the citizens, was killing the ruler really the best solution?

That said, it really was sad. The princess only had a vague understanding of things and never understood what was really happening. She was really good friends with the daughter of a noble that created beautiful dresses. That noble committed crimes and stole money. As a consequence the entire family was executed, including the friend of the princess yet the princess were never aware and never found out.

Genuinely one of the most insane things I've seen - it reads like someone doing an exaggerated imitation of a right-wing "law and order" argument.

That is a surprisingly progressive stance for a series that looks like complete trash

Yeah it’s trash but I am enjoying how hard it goes on the gimmick. And I can give it a point for having the MC go “slavery? what is wrong with you all?” which is more than I can say for a lot of isekais.
