    This is less true for me than others because I spent 80% of my time in Pokemon X in Pokemon Aimie playing games with, petting, and feeding my Pokemon rather than battling with them

    But yeah.

    SMT negotiations are by far my favorite monster-collecting methods. Just equal parts philosophy, flirtation, and gibberish as they vibe check you.

    Pokemon is cockfighting, Mario massacres Goombas and turns by the hundreds in any given game and we know from Paper Mario they’re fully sentient and about equal to human intelligence, the star fox team are a PMC, Samus has blown up 3 planets, maybe more ans wiped out 2 species, sorta 3 if you count Evil Beak or whatever from Dread, he was likely the last Chozo. None of this shit really makes any sense and it’s pretty senseless to go thst deep into it. Especially if you’re being serious.

      Diegetic essentialism 101, it leads people to ask deeply unserious and frankly stupid questions like: “is superman actually a socialist?”. Like, no , unless superman is written as such, he’s not. These fantasy worlds you escape into? Theyre written a certain way by its authors, and no amount of nerd slapfighting online will change that, please stop wasting your time.

          My favorite part about the movie was when he was mad about stalin having gulags and stalin was like “sometimes you gotta do a little authority” and superman was like “no dad” and totally proved him wrong by murdering him with a laser like immediately
