What a disingenuous question - was he about to deflect into talking about gang violence or something? Obviously the answer is “not counting gang violence” and then when comparing the 5 transgender mass shootings to the amount of (non-gang) mass shootings, it would show how small of a number it is.

But I guess we’ll never know

Morty, I turned my ship into a testicle!

Thanks, interesting stuff. And yeah that France name is hilarious.

It is interesting how the name for a country is a description rather than just a proper noun. Very different than English where the most descriptive you get is adding one word (Ivory Coast, Greenland) or a description of the government (the people’s republic of).

I wonder if in day to day life they had some pronoun usage to shorten it. Imagine you’re two Navajo bros talking to about Japan and China. Like surely using that long ass phrase - which is only differentiated by noting that one of them is the big country, would be unwieldy?

Yeah it’s wild. It seems to me that the window dressing a “x, y, z reboot sucks because it is woke” proponent falls back to is that making it woke harms the source material in some way.

But here, as you point out, the source material is vigilante eco terrorists.

Worse yet - the planeteers are diverse, both ethnically/nationality and some of them are the political gender (w*men).

So any argument that making it woke is harming the source material is immediately short circuited

Not on judges to care - but ye, would need cops to actually look into this and then a prosecutor to actually go after it. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

I’m stuff

It is interesting to think about. What, actually, would happen if they did this? Would there be an uptick in protestors? Or would people be cowed? This isn’t France, part of me thinks people would just roll over.

Yeah absolutely.

Excited to see the woke or not game decider weigh in on this.

I remember hearing a speaker talk about the cultural divide a few years ago. Apparently game of thrones was super lib team and the walking dead was super conservative team. For whatever reason that one I found very fascinating.

Fosho - but you do know them best, so can probably gauge what’ll work. But then again, if you have an open line of communication, you can always keep the wordier/technical bits to conversations rather than writing.
