Wheat Loaf posted:100% control over your memory would be a good power. You could remember everything you've ever seen or done, but you could sort all your memories into files for ease of access, switch parts of your memory on and off, and you could have a kind of recycle bin for bad memories, with the option to delete the worst ones forever. You need the pain, did Star Trek V teach you nothing!? Anyway, I'd go for mind control. Best IRL cheat code ever.

Parasol Prophet posted:I just want to understand any language. That seems like a pretty neutral power. On the other hand, it'd be a great chance to gently caress with people. "Yeah, according to these texts everyone from this ancient civilization put on animal costumes before they hosed." Plus, you could be the ultimate programmer, and if you count body language, the ultimate martial artist.

Skwirl posted:They were sleeping in the same bedroom of a mansion at first? They were. The 50s crusade against indecency was the first time stuff like that started to seem unusual; before, people never thought about homosexuality at all, so there was nothing wrong with little boys wearing dresses or guys being super touchy with each other. It was an era before no homo. Then Seduction of the Innocent hits store shelves and suddenly everyone thinks of Batman like this.

Ferrule posted:Children's clothing (pink/blue, dresses/pants) and toys didn't become a thing until the 70's due to Madison ave type ad agencies grunt-working for big corporations. It wasn't a rallying cry against indecency, it was "how to do we create a sustainable, reliable, segmented market to sell more shirts/toys/shoes/hats". That's true, but dresses and pants in general were still considered gendered when not applied to children, and were expected to slot into those roles as they got older. While marketing may have separated them in children to begin with, the societal inappropriateness of crossing the streams was a result of growing homophobia and misogyny when LGBT culture and feminism started gaining ground. Always helped along by marketing, though, naturally, because advertisers love that poo poo.

Lurdiak posted:
To be fair, the girls are based on an existing DC girl aimed franchise, although it's still pathetic that "girls in high school getting into wacky high school misadventures!" is automatically girly and the relatively normal action packed thing is for boys. It's like when George Lucas said he made his fairy princess movie as "Star Wars for girls". Sidenote: Is that Batman with a sword? These toyetic animations are crazy awful, but I love the idea that their finally just going hogwild with merchandising and putting it in some media instead of just leaving the toys to have all these inexplicable additions and variants. When I was a kid I had like, eight different Batman toys wearing weird armor or whatever.

Ferrule posted:That DC Super Hero girls is a good comic and a great line of toys. I agree, I like it. site posted:I'm confused, is the criticism for the toys that the boys line has the word action in it and the girls line doesn't? As was already noted it's not the worst toyline gender divide but it's still notable.

It reinforces that superheroes doing superhero things are for boys and girls can only appreciate the genre if it's feminized and defanged.

trashbuilder posted:Having been to panels like that, I can say it is only ever awkward like that or a weird preaching to the choir thing. I obviously support diversity in characters but those panels with the "fans" they attract are just odd. You don't really support diversity if you aren't interrogating random mildly famous about how they propose to solve every conceivable issue.

Jordan7hm posted:It's also possible that people can be generally really good and nice and simultaneously hold one or two terrible opinions. Obviously, but the discussion concerning his behavior is as much about how bizarre it is(even if he was a hardcore racist, going on that rant, doubling down, etc. is strange) and the fact that he had a stroke+strokes are known to alter people's personalities somewhat makes it not unreasonable to speculate there could be a connection.

I mean, I'm pretty sure the "breaks their kid's legs, look at that kid with a broken leg, the parents totally did it" is a racist rumor in and of itself akin to blood libel.

Aw, thanks.  The concern does help. I should probably get some sleep but I'm too tired to get up and lay down on my bed. Time to crack open Chris Sims' article about comics to read if sick while I still can and I'm not too delirious to concentrate on anything.

Rhyno posted:Had to call the cops on a dude today who would not stop referring to Falcon and Black Panther as the N-word. He wouldn't stop and wouldn't leave but you bet you rear end the cops dragged him out of the store! I mean, okay, I can expect a racist rear end in a top hat would say those words about those characters, but how can a guy be socially deaf enough to not shut up the first time people get upset? Crazy.

I didn't say he was right. He just honestly believes his point of view is the best philosophy for society, in contrast to other objectivists who are purely of the gently caress you got mine school of thought. Although I gotta say, as someone who's family has struggled several times with getting disability and stuff, the guy getting kicked in the pit for not being needy enough sort of rings true, though that's more a result of people opposed to welfare making requirements more and more strict and probably not what Ditko intended.

Well, yeah. I'm just saying, whenever someone says "Steve Ditko is an objectivist" there's gotta be an asterisk.
