i keep thinking about the datamined conversation between halsin and minthara and what gets me about it is that if you side with halsin and turn minthara away, thats objectively the bad choice.
like at this point, you've rescued minthara from moonrise. you know now that she was being controlled to act against her will. you've gone to the trouble of rescuing her from her tormentors, and you've experienced what it felt like as they tried to destroy her mind. you know what will happen to her if you turn her away. and if you do, you're willingly condemning her to that fate. you've essentially allowed her to experience freedom, to regain her sense of self, only to tear that away from her again.
whereas if you side with minthara, and halsin leaves, that's the only consequence he experiences. that he's not a companion anymore. at this point, we've saved the grove, we've saved him, and we've lifted the shadow curse. we've helped him achieve what hes been hoping to do for over a century. leaving your party won't see him lose his free will. he can return to the grove and live his life.
the choice is essentially either condemn someone to a fate worse than death, knowing exactly what that entails vs not letting someone travel with you anymore. its pretty clear cut to me.
its just interesting to me that they've switched the morality of it around given that minthara is considered the 'evil' companion by so many.
#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3 spoilers#minthara#minthara baenre#before anyone comes at me and says that halsin is allowed to have his prejudice and his trauma. im not saying hes not#not sure about someone being allowed to have prejudice but yes thats part of human nature i guess#my point isnt that hes not allowed to react like this#my point is that hes wrong.#sure he can be struggling with his trauma and his prejudice over minthara being a lolth sworn (even if shes not anymore)#BUT. at this point we as a character /know/ theres more to her. we know that hes making an unfair assessment of her#which is even more jarring if you're a drow/lolth sworn drow#and at this point. you've saved the grove youve saved him youve helped him break the curse. he tells you its a debt he cant repay#and that hes so thankful. but he wont trust you or your decision. he won't even attempt to#and u know what thats fine. he doesnt have to. but if you're siding with him you're condemning her. you're killing her#if you side against him. he can go back to his responsibilities as an arch druid rather than leaving it in someone elses hands (which was?)#that is the lesser of the two evils here#yes you can call minthara the 'evil' character because shes a lolth sworn but thats just buying into the prejudice halsin is showing#and its wrong#anyways. my point is good for him if he wants to demand you make a ridiculous choice#but turning her away is the bad choice and tbh i feel like the game wants u to know that#and sure if you want to boil it down to which character u like more than the other and u prefer halsin. ur obvs gonna side with him#but in that case u probably wouldn't even get this conversation#because why would u have bothered to spare / save minthara in the first place?

This captures it. Chappell Roan is rightfully disillusioned by the two-party system.
Here are some of the correct responses to her (justified) criticism of the U.S. government.
#a lesser evil is still evil how don’t Americans understand this#it’s her fault she understand critical thinking and nuance bc we know most Americans have no idea what these things mean#she’s an ardent supporter of Palestine and of oppressed communities ofc she doesn’t fuck with the two party system#I’m begging Americans to think critically and educate themselves#but I suppose it’s not their fault that their government keeps them stupid on purpose#y’all would freak out if you ever met real life political dissidents#the two party system does not have the best interest of the people in mind they’re all greedy corporate elites#free palestine#chappell roan#taylor swift#bc she is mentioned and compared here#neolibs are the most insufferable bootlickers#these are the correct responses to government criticism btw#us politics#politics#palestine#us elections#celebrities#celebrity worship#pop culture#jill stein#climate collapse#queer#lgbt#lgbtq#lgbtqia#lgbtq community#lgbt pride#Zionism is a disease

ppl who aren't voting because they think both trump and harris are morally wrong in their policies really fundamentally don't understand the reality of the electoral system huh. They still think they're electing the homecoming queen or something huh.
having the right to vote, and not voting, because you think both candidates are fascists is in fact what the fascists want you to do. i hate to break it to you buster but our democracy is at best a capitalist oligarchy and the power we have over the current system is limited, but voting is one of the most concrete expressions of power we have within that system. it's also one of the first things to go if we become a fascist state for real. People have fought and died over generations for the right to vote. Don't you dare fucking piss it away.
#uspol#i saw a post that pissed me the hell off#hundreds of people in the comments having a morality panic over having to pick between two assholes#sorry fuckos but the 'lesser evil' metric does not apply here. this isn't the fucking witcher.#your vote isn't an endorsement it's a tactical maneuver#get the hell off your high horse and look at the people in front of you you're fucking over if you throw away your vote#do you understand the PRIVILEGE you're exercising by abstaining from voting?#y'all didn't pay attention in your us history classes and it fucking shows#it's very clear to me that this voter abstinence movement is all about exercising a sense of moral superiority#it's performative#and it reeks of privilege and guilt

Iran is bombing Israel apparently, FAFO moment truly.
Both Biden and Trump are vowing to defend Israel with harsh military force against Iran.
If they follow through with it and the US moves against Iran, this will actually become a war.
Do not stop pressuring politicians to support Palestine. Do not stop advocating for Palestine. Do not stop protesting Israel. Do not stop protesting genocide.
From the river to the sea.
#Why do I have to live in a country that’s always on the wrong side of history#Why are both candidates on the ballot this election war mongering freaks#can these old white men just both get a fatal stomach ulcer and go septic#surely there could be literally ANYONE ELSE#I would rather vote in a literal dog#but no I have to choose between a far right conservative and trump who wants to wage war with Mexico and China AND iran now#Great#anyway focus on the other seats on the ballot this year everyone#Biden and trump are legitimately identical on half of their stances I truly cannot tell who the worse one is because they agree on everythi#frankly at this point I’ll just vote Biden because the trump voters are actively dangerous when he’s in power#they are either way but he has a lot more power over them during his presidency#but since both Biden and trump love to abuse immigrants and support genocide#there isn’t even a lesser of two evils here#it’s solely a matter of keeping the trump cultists in line

I’m actually so fucking sick of far leftists.
#y’all are so damn radical y’all don’t give a single fuck about the marginalized people you’re fighting for#can’t see realistic change for shit wanna watch America implode etc etc etc#forgetting about the lives that will be lost along the way if America does implode#the MARGINALIZED lives by the way mostly black and brown ppl#but ya fuck Kamala Harris bc she’s the real problem here I guess!#who do I vote for if you don’t want me to vote for the lesser of two evils#I cannot do this!

listen i am geralt of rivia hater number one but one thing i actually CANNOT stand is when the fandom mischaracterizes him. took one look at this man who speaks very straight-forwardly and matter-of-fact and is a little recalcitrant with his words sometimes and went "haha he communicates in grunts! man who only says 'hm'!" and then won't even write him to speak in full fucking sentences. hello???? hello???????? yes the netflix show was a bad influence on everybody because they were trying too hard to depict geralt as a stoic manly badass but we CANNOT let that distract us from the REAL thing to make fun of geralt for. which are his Constant Unprovoked Monologues
#also the fact that he fakes his dumb stupid little rivian accent because the man was NOT raised in rivia. but i digress#'haha he only says hm!' where were you for every episode when he launched into a speech about the lesser evil. that's like. the whole thing#geralt of rivia will do nothing But talk once you let him. don't give that bitch a chance! he'll start up about honor again!!!#convinced that most of this is because netflix show insisted on showing us him around jaskier so much#and jaskier does not shut up. love him to death. but geralt genuinely does not have time to get a word in edgewise#i will admit that this is something that i had to learn by reading the books and paying more attention to it#but it's not like he DOESN'T do it in the show. if you ever sit with a witcher episode transcript for whatever reason#and really take a look at geralt's lines. man he talks a whole fucking lot.#again cannot emphasize enough that he Monologues. HE TALKS HIS WAY OUT OF SO MANY SITUATIONS.#me when i look filavandrel of the elves in the eyes and 'hm' at him and he lets me go. no bitch he monologued!!!!#terrible. terrible. let this man speak. if i see you fanfic bitches continue making him talk in sentence fragments again i'm gonna kill#as for my own fanfic. i will always prefer a geralt who talks too much to be believable over a geralt who barely speaks at all.#both because i believe in letting him speak his mind which he OBVIOUSLY likes to do. sideeyes him.#and because it's just fucking boring and a little annoying to read speech patterns that don't sound like how people talk.#cough cough lan wanji the untamed. man i'm not sitting here and reading this motherfucker's two word sentences#let him speak!!!!!!#anyway.#geralt of rivia#the witcher#fanfic

Man, Messmer is shown blatantly committing a genocide in the story trailer but people will still say Mohg is the worst character in Elden Ring. 🙄
#{{outofbloodboon}}#Given present events that shall not be elaborated upon. If you know you know...#Like between Mohg and Messmer imo I feel like Mohg is the lesser of two evils here! BUT people will still say he's the worst.

so....i'm noticing people who are saying "Don't vote for Harris or Trump" aren't American and don't have to live day to day under the administration
like
yes, the US does impact the rest of the world but also i don't want to live in fascism more than i have to
i would like trans people to be alive
i would like homeless people to have a chance
i would like medical care to be accessible to everyone
and even more things
there's a LOT at stake here
i will probably not exist if Trump wins and has his way? so i'm going to vote for Harris......and if you want to guilt me or anyone else for that
go fuck yourself bc we don't have a whole lot to work with
#THERES MORE THAN ONE IMPORTANT THING GOING ON#WE NEED TO CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING#NOT JUST BECAUSE ONE MAJOR TOPIC GETS ALL THE ATTENTION???????????????#like it's really the lesser of two evils when you live here bc you either suffer and die or maybe you live and struggle with the rest#of the world#idk idgaf i'm voting for Harris if you don't like that pls unfollow/block#i want to be able to be with my girlfriend and have our family#not rot in a hole bc trump and his minions took everything away from me#and every person ever should have the same opportunity#i dont really think yall understand what goes on here#maybe think for yourself instead of reading headlines and believing them exclusively#idk some of yall are just throwing up red flags#i guess i should be the one unfollowing#but i needed to vent anyways

Are people on here so seriously fooled by the two party system that they are genuinely saying that Trump should have won last election and are trying to convince me to vote him this election. Are you so so so ingrained into the two party system that you for real genuinely believe that Trump wouldn't have done the exact same thing things as Biden. Like actually? Actually.? For real? You're not just making shit up right? You actually for real believe that? That because Biden is evil Trump is a good guy now? We are living in fucked up evil Tf2 rn like the red and blu spy are the same guy wearing a different suit get real don't pretend that they aren't and that one of them is better than the other because they didn't backstab you last match
#Politics#Ohhh my goddddd#There is no lesser of two evils here!!! You clown!!!!!#Ask to tag#All I'm going to say on this#😈

have seen a lot of people encourage voting for harris on account of not wanting trump to win. but ive also seen a lot of people encourage voting third party on account of harris facking sucks. all posts ive seen arguing their respective points are really aggressive. i cant even side with anyone here cuz i understand all the points made. ive really never hated the two party system so much until now and we need to throw this election in the trash and start over. and we need to throw bricks and torches at politicians too.
#original nonsense#personal#THERES NOT GOING TO BE A LESSER EVIL under the two party system YOU IGNORANT SLUTS!!!! but i understand the sentiment. its okay.#all we have is hope but also everything sucks and we're boned. unless some really drastically positive things happen.#heres how (looks him up because i cant ever remember his name) cornell west can still win..... (crickets chirp) (coughs up blood#like omg whoever wins how is there any way to get anyone to do what anyone wants.#because its all just empty promises. but if we dont do something we're fuuuuucked.#third party or democrat or whatever voters: we are not enemies. our enemy is literally harris and trump because they both suuuuuock.

reminder that I think everyone who voted for trump should be executed via firing squad.
I also think that maybe we shouldn’t yknow girlbossify kamala… maybe we shouldn’t do that to the other genocidal freak hmm i dunno
#I didn’t realize kamala had shooters on here#y’all can’t even ‘”lesser of two evils’’ without folding instantly
