Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Jadis destroyed an entire world with a single word because she wanted to defeat her sister.
And she turned people who disagreed with her to stone.
I think most people - liberal and conservative and moderates - would agree that makes her bad.
I would argue that it makes her someone who has done a shitload of evil, and on priors will do a bunch more if permitted. I would also argue that she is not inherently herself "bad", and is capable of making better choices.
Of course. given the question of, "So hey Jadis is here and here is the Jadis-killing button, what are you going to do?" obviously we push the button, because the priors and EV suck, but we do think there is a meaningful difference there that it's useful to draw, because most cases have not killed a world, and thinking you are bad rather than have done bad, establishes a story where it's easiest to keep doing bad things. Why wouldn't you? You're bad, after all.
