Sunswipe posted:I hope this isn't seen as revisiting an argument, because I really think it's a seperate point: does there being LGBT people on the writing team of Q-Force make that any better? The trailer still portrays gay men as not being interested in anything that isn't another man's butt. If you showed me a minute of a show about black spies that was entirely them talking about how they love fried chicken, I wouldn't say that was ok because Christ Tucker was one of the writers. Someone who worked on the show said it was a terrible trailer that misrepresented the show, they may or may not be telling the truth. Even if the show was really good, it'd be kinda hosed up to make a show like that in 2021 without hiring any LGBTQ+ people though, so it does matter in that sense. And even if it is terrible, I think it's good to know minorities are equally capable of making bad television.

Not necessarily better, but the issue is of a different nature. It’s straight people stereotyping lgbt people for entertainment vs lgbt people presenting themselves in a stereotypical manner for entertainment. It’s been said in this thread that the trailer is actually not at all representative of the series - which seems to be in fact made by lgbt folks. So I think we’re gonna have to see the show for ourselves to make any kind of judgement

As long as you’re not continuing the slapfight you can still talk about the show, or better yet, find funny bad takes about the show on social media.

Skwirl posted:Ehh, I think a lot of ancient paganism was revering gods not because they were worthy of it, but because if you didn't you got hosed with. Like Christianity and Judaism have struggled since their inception with questions like "whence cometh evil" and "why worship such a being" but with flawed deities it's way simpler. Evil comes from the fact that they kinda suck at this, and you worship them because if you don't they'll turn you inside out. You definitely feel less reverence but a whole lot of existential questions would get answered right quick.

flavor.flv posted:We do have a single, unified source for all our modern understanding of Norse mythology in the form of the Eddas, unfortunately they are a thousand miles and several centuries removed from their origins It's also something like a Christian handbook for Norse mythology, with some aspects of "silly heathens, they weren't gods, they were just Greek warriors with cool spears or whatever" and also no real attempts to separate "story you tell kids to scare them silent" from "a thing people actually believed". Greek mythology has similar issues.

That’s all real loving stupid poo poo,but you have to be in excellent shape to do that real loving stupid poo poo. Incidentally, the last bit where he gallops on all fours, I dream of running like that at least once a week. I didn’t think it was possible, but I guess I have a real loving stupid dream to follow

Vib Rib posted:I know this is a pretty "high school atheist" type thing to say, but honestly religion would make a lot more sense to me if gods were fallible, not omniscient, etc. I mean historically the more monotheistic infallible gods has been what even pagan religions were pushing towards as well. I think people use the results to judge what happen but Christianity wasn’t the only of these types of religions to gain traction. It won in the end but it wasn’t alone

It is beyond explaining, understanding, or knowing. Trying to do so anyway is missing the point. Because it’s all made up, but serves an actual function. From what you describe, you look for an explanation from the divine. The divine is a certain way, and therefore reality is the same way. This generally falls in line with ancient paganism. In Abrahamic religions the function of god is purpose in life. I don’t actually know enough about the Vedic religions to describe their function

Before you get tall enough for stairs to fit you properly it’s 100% the best stair climbing method.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Talking about unified mythologies is kinda useless anyway. We kludge them into a single pop culture narrative called "greek mythology" or "norse mythology" or whatever but these are beliefs that span a vast gulf of space and time and were never unified. Athens and Sparta in the classical period had different beliefs, forget comparing the gods of Homer to the gods of the Seleukid Empire. And like, for example, not only is Jupiter not just "the roman name for Zeus", he's not even one single god. Hindu myths are super cool, but it's hard to find a primer because there's really no official version. Even something like the Ramayana has different versions with different endings.

Even at the time, people complained that the common stories of the Olympians were bawdy and disrespectful to the gods. Imagine if the only record we had of Christianity was Family Guy.

Let's just agree right now to solidify all this stuff going forward. Avengers will now be the canon source for Norse mythology, Stargate for Egyptian, and Greek mythology can use that roguelike game where they're all sexy as hell
