    I’d add that considering Vegeta’s point of view; he’s calling him Kakarot as a sign of messed up respect. As he’s really racist and prideful, and views all the other races weaker, him using the name Goku would mean also lowering himself to the level of “lower races” as he’d have to admit sayans can be on the same level as them. Him using Goku more and more would be in effect a sign of him slowly becoming less racist

  • Just let people live their life how they want to

    I’d rather have them not climb the damn mountain though. It’s become a sort of tourist trap -thing (literally), there’s people selling commercial climbings and all. It’s extremely wasteful and them littering the place with all their trash (like extra oxygen tanks) and then with their corpses is disgusting and kind of insulting considering Sagarmatha has some religious significance to locals as well



  • The first three books are bit like the first Eragon one to me: kinda naive, not trying too hard, have the certain atmosphere that’s just fun to read, you can forget the real world shit for a moment and just enjoy a nice little story time. Not high literature, but pleasant enough - just like you said, good kids stories. Then comes the latter parts, and the whole thing just gets more and more complicated, and the magic dies off and you forget what happens because it’s not interesting. Bah. At least I haven’t heard of Paolini becoming a raging transphobe…


  • Well that is a good analysis! You honestly got me more convinced of Harry’s personhood than the books ever did. I guess I just really, really hate Harry as a protagonist, which blinds me to the other points. I’ll blame Rowlings writing style for that one though.

    And yes, I fully agree about the later books; after the fifth one, I can barely remember anything that happens in them, outside some biggest plot points. Compared to how I can still fairly well recall what happens in books 1-4, and mostly 5 as well despite there being more time passed after reading them, the contrast is huge.


  • I’d argue Harry is way worse than both Aragorn and Rand Al’Thor. At least there’s several attributes added to both of those characters, though Aragorn is a lot more fleshed out. Aragorn is noble, loyal, carries a deep sadness, love towards someone special, etc., you can easily describe him with other words than just “adult man who becomes king”. Rand struggles with what he should do, who he is, what will he become, who should he love? all that, he too can be described with not only surface level things.

    What qualities does Harry have? He hates people who are terrible? Feels sad when he loses people he cares about? He has no feelings outside of generic things he does in his life, it’s like he’s on autopilot and just reacts to things like some standard of a person would. How would you describe his traits, other than some generic “a kid that becomes a special wizard and grows up” or his physical appearance? And I don’t think Rand Al’Thor is a very good character mind you, but at least he is one. Harry is just an empty shell

    Oh I love philosophy professors and their personal hot takes! I had one that was obsessed with Heidegger and used half a lecture to argue with himself about his nazi allegations. Amazing to see in person

    edit// uh. that probably sounded a bit too cryptic if someone doesn’t know who Heidegger was. He was a nazi, but the controversy in philosophy is how much it affected his work





  • Logistics working doesn’t mean their command chain was somehow “well-organized”. But they had supply chains and production etc. working to a degree, or they couldn’t have waged the war they way they did - even these wacko nazi-wannabes must have some sort of logistics going on or they couldn’t be operating at all, but I’m criticizing their abilities to do even the bare minimum

    Edit// Maybe a better word would be “insulting”. I’m insulting the inhumane bastards and their severely lacking abilities
