That’s been my experience. It’s weird seeing people get so angry at op over the assumption that op ignored fundamental information that is so often omitted by the manufacturers.

Weird. The last three TVs I bought didn’t have the foot width listed on the box.
Most TV’s don’t list the width on the feet on the packaging do they?
Well we already established it’s much of an assumption.
Yes indifference makes you cool. Caring about things is for losers. Any more grade school wisdom you’d like to impart?
Your only reply to the whole of the original post was who cares. The doxxing death threats and sexual harassment, who cares. You wanted to say that you were talking about a different part but you gave no context or indication for that when you just said who cares. How is that not indifference to human suffering? It really doesn’t seem like much of an assumption.
Enjoy being proud about being indifferent to human suffering.
I didn’t mention anything other than people that view others as humans would care that other humans are being harassed.
Being doxxed and getting death threats? Oh yeah that’s not cool but who cares?
Also, a more minor point relative to your stance that celebs aren’t human, but how on earth did you manage to equate a public persona with completely obfuscating ones identity or even creating a totally new identity?
People that view others as human.
To be fair he might not like some people because they are black, trans, or little people regardless of if they are conservative or not.
Well he didn’t do a doctor strange. I don’t think it’s more interesting. I think it panders to the portion of the audience that quietly likes those negative traits and probably preps a lot of less than critically thinking readers to be more receptive to those traits. It also doesn’t fit the thematic style of stars which pretty clearly settles into clean camps of good and bad. The emperor served the function of embodying everything that was clearly bad. He was deceitful, sadistic, authoritarian, genocidal, xenophobic, vengeful, and probably much more but I think you get the point. He didn’t serve as a complex character, he served as one of the extremes of the moral landscape that the actual characters navigated. At arguably the highest climax of the story Vader is only redeemed because he rejects the symbol of evil. Adding a secret motive that makes excuses for his blood soaked accumulation of power mucks up the story framing and didn’t even come close to accounting for the vast array of just plain evil traits he exhibits. He didn’t cackle gleefully while making a father and son fight to the death because it was a grim but necessary step to protect the galaxy, he did it because he is the personification of evil in the story.
I do think that there is a place for complex villains. They are generally much more interesting but they also require a skilled writer and importantly an audience that can understand that, complexity aside, they are still the villain. We can look at the alarming percent of the Breaking Bad/Rick and Morty/Punisher fan bases that don’t get that to see the perils of that type of story telling reaching the wrong people. The emperor was not one of those complex characters and trying to retcon that in was at best clumsy and foolish.
I’ve always hated the story lines that turn authoritarian genocidal megalomaniacs into the good guys and I have a hard time understanding how so many people are not off put by that.
Of all the options available to post covering this story why would you choose to direct traffic to fox news?
Nah you were genuinely wounded that I didn’t revere the yuuzhan vong.
Nah the mini rant tips your hand. You were not being tongue in cheek, you were being sincere.
Kind of a shitty tone to take over a crappy plot line.
Well to borrow a bit from the rest of the threads here, just how much baby cancer is in the builder’s project or the programmer’s code? The difference in perspective between an all powerful all knowing being knowing fully what the entirety of the outcome of their creation vs our speculation of the outcome of our works is probably incomparable. Would there even be a difference between experiencing the spectacle of the universe verses perfectly knowing it as an all knowing being? That might be an interesting philosophical question.
I think that you are overlooking a lot of things here. If you are God in the traditional modern sense then you would already know how the universe will unfold. You would be gaining nothing by having the “ants” live and suffer. As the creator of the universe you would also have a responsibility for the lives you put in it and you would be responsible if you chose to not intervene in their suffering as well. As the creator it would have been within your power to create a universe without suffering. When we start to consider those points it paints morbid picture. That’s not to attribute that kind of callous cruelty to you, the implications of such a hypothetical are probably not something we’ve spent much time sorting out.
The yuuzhan vong will never be canon for me.
Why would we give that dumbass views?
