Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.

Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L

wait actually the "we should totally just stab caesar!" is really poignant and sad. and perfectly represents that aspect of adolescent female friendships like.... mean girls is so fucking good I will stand by mean girls for the rest of my life.

I appreciate when people criticize Sebastian and call him a virgin so I can just ignore the whole thing. Nothing of value is lost.

random grudge thoughts and stuff time

Jawsh is like, a geyser of negative opinions about stuff? I don't hate him and I don't seek out his vids but my BF watches him so

Like, take how he calls Omori "Objectively Bad?" I get not liking RPGs. I get not caring for the psychological horror elements. I even somewhat get laughing because of how ridiculously over-the-top the final boss is. If you're simple about the obvious non-dialogue character development portrayed multiple times through various different interactions that you didn't do, it seems quite extreme. After all, "well that makes Sunny a murderar!one1111" Like. The game explicitly shows that teenagers in fits of rage do stupid things. Just a day before (in-game) Aubrey pushes Basil off the pier. Does that make her a full-throated murderer; while she stands there paralyzed by what she just did as Sunny tries to rescue Basil? If Hero wasn't there it'd be worse on Aub's part, since both Basil and Sunny would have drowned. So clearly the game uses the actions of the characters to try and illustrate how, if you were put under the right stress you'd fuck up too. I don't think Sunny or Basil are close to innocent, of course, but they were dumb kids who were forced into impossible situations to deal with. Either way, I would understand his distaste if, you know, he actually just accepted he has no real reason to dislike it. He just does and that?? is okay?? But every reason he posits as to why it sucks ends up being the most subjective opinions possible. I don't know if he just does this to annoy people but it gives "POPULAR THING BAD" so hard. Like, due what Vinny did with Undertale and Persona 5 and just turn it into a joke that "you'll play it :)" one day and meme the spam of it. Maybe I'm just missing something /gen He just seems like he genuinely has a seething hatred for a... game. It's not perfect and I like it's "objective flaws" as he puts it. He seems so irony-pilled it acts like a Redditor Mod Aura of Repulsion™

@boleynism replied to your post:

It's a great summary, although I'm not sure 'bullying' is the best word choice (...hectoring?); unless, of course we're taking Chapuys at 100% face value (which...off the dome, incorrect report of the name of Anne's first child, incorrect report that Mary was going to be sent to serve Anne as maid in waiting, report that there were no bonfires celebrating Elizabeth's christening was contradicted by two other sources...only the first of which he ever admitted the error, which he would never have gotten away with doing otherwise, as she was a significant child, the second of which he still claimed was true but that Anne had changed her mind and decided to send her to Elizabeth's household instead). And it's the reality of power, really...gaining power, securing power, maintaining power (or, as Thomas has argued here, safety) can be very ugly. These were not Disney princesses we're talking about. But there's a certain Janus face to all this, also: in all likelihood, Anne completely believed that everything she did was justified, because she wanted to use that power for good ("pardon me from your hearts [...] that I have not done all the good that was in my power to do.”  ), for causes she believed in, that's all tied up in that fierce maternal instinct (""A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.") as well.
