#i hate this dude so much

[themuskrater]

I tried Shadows of the Empire and I don't know if this is a hot take, but I think I hate Dash Rendar.

This dude is SO fucking lame. He's every bad stereotype of a 90s self insert protagonist. His whole thing is supposed to be "Han Solo but cooler and edgier".

He's a SMUGGLER working for the Rebels, but not unless they PAY him! He flies the OUTRIDER. It's just like the Millenium Falcon but it's NEWER and FASTER and COOLER! He's BEST FRIENDS with all the main characters like Luke and Leia and Han and Lando and they're all jealous of how fucking COOL he is!!!!

Just give me a break dude. All his lines are shitty one liners and catch phrases that sound like they were written for Duke Nukem. He fights and beats every iconic character because the writers needed him to be cooler and stronger than everyone. His design is trash, he doesn't fit the Star Wars aesthetic and looks stupid next to any other character. And his name is DASH RENDAR for fucks sake. DASH. RENDAR. And what's even funnier is the developers went out of their way to make the main characters say his name as often as possible in these cutscenes. It sounds so unnatural to hear Luke Skywalker say "Dash" 30 times.

This dude sucks, he's the perfect example of why Legends is hit or miss. Kyle Katarn? Hit. Dash Rendar? Biggest damn miss. Missed and fell right into the garbage.

I get that his cheesiness may be nostalgic for some people, but I didn't play this game when I was young and I never read any of the tie in material, so for me it's just obnoxious. He's not even charming cheesy like Kyle, he's just annoying and I hate looking at his stupid shoulder pads.

Btw, on the topic of that book: I am, at all material times, ready to extensively decry Victor Frankenstein as the cowardly, miserable loser he is.

I may be lazy, but at least I don’t call people who doesn’t have a car to go fetch pizza for me when I myself have a car and live less than a kilometer away from the nearest pizzeria

one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.

the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.

like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.

but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.

so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.

i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?

but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?

sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?

and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.

nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.

the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!

and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.

i hate geto rather than just being neutral toward his boring character because his existence really highlights the hypocrisy fandom has about when men do bad things and when women do…anything

the amount of people saying yuki must be evil or that she bears any kind of responsibility for geto being a genocidal cult leader is exhibit a. the narrative clearly valorizes her as a protagonist but many brain dead people responded with “but how can you expect a seventeen year old to know genocide is wrong??? he was SO sad”

i see a huge overlap between jjk and other shounen fandoms and the same people who call haruno sakura manipulative and evil gush with sympathy for geto because they like shipping him with gojo. it doesn’t matter what the narrative is trying to portray. girls making mistakes is an excuse to dismiss them when they are the canonical (or even merely perceived) love interest but dudes making informed bad decisions is nuanced character building that should be viewed in the most favorable light

even though hana is wreathed in angelic imagery and has her own tragic backstory, fandom is castigating her for having romantic feelings for megumi and being influenced by them. geto is the king of doing stupid shit because of his emotions, but it’s charming when HE does it, i guess???

every time someone reduces CAPTAIN !!! elizabeth "lizzie" lafayette down to "a sad lesbian" a fairy dies bc i shoot it with my gun. like you're telling me you were spoon-fed a character that has one of the most realistic and RAW representations of grief and perseverance in the series and all you got from that was "she's sad" ????

is she a constantly happy character? Fuck no! that's acknowledged!! but to take EVERYTHING that she is, which has positive and negative aspects THAT ARE BOTH SHOWN, to take the fact that she is THE DRIVING FORCE OF THE MAIN BACKGROUND PLOT, and reduce her down to NOTHING but her relationships?? ?what the hell!!!

Someone pointed out to me in one of my posts that the reason Perry was SO pissed off during OWCA files was bc he's jealous Heinz was spending time with so much of his co-workers, and Ive since been thinking about this and I genuinely hate how much this makes sense.

Obviously that isn't the ONLY reason, but. This is the second recorded time where Heinz ends up working for OWCA and BOTH times Perry spends the entire episode inexplicably grumpy and pissed.

You COULD say it's bc he's wary, he doesn't trust Heinz to behave professionally as an agent when he takes so much pride as an agent himself and incompetency pisses him off (true). Also that Heinz is lumped as his responsibility, and agent Lone Wolf hates being saddled to a person.....but these arguments crumble in light for a few facts.

1. Perry doesn't have THAT much respect for OWCA, and certainly not Francis, ESPECIALLY if they piss him off. See the aftermath of Undercover Carl. Its not a respect issue.

2. Perry knows what Heinz is like. He LIKES spending time with Heinz, and as early as the events in "Come Home Perry," HE knows that he can trust Heinz to always have his back. Its not a trust issue.

3. Perry is hugely supportive of Heinz reforming, and in MML, it's HIS money being the first and foremost funds provider for Heinz to start a time travelling agency. He likes Heinz turning tide fine, so long as he doesn't shut Perry out or leave him behind. It's not a Being Good issue.

So why was he pissed off?? Well. What's the ONE thing that upsets Perry, without fail, when it comes to his loved ones that isn't them being in undeniable danger.

Sharing. Perry hates sharing.
