Slay The Spire dodged the woke allegations? Two of the four playable characters, including the objectively strongest one are women. One of the remaining two is… Well, i want to say non-binary but the character is very much binary lmao.

Sure, and you can definitely get that message from the story, but that’s not what the story is saying with its text. It’s saying “this hippie chick is actually a real wizard”. Same as when a character’s evil abusive mother turns out to be not her real mother at all! like in Tangled - Mother Gothel probably does inspire lots of real children of abusive parents to be okay with hating their (hate-worthy) mothers, but then the movie ends with Rapunzel meeting her real true family that loves her and cares for her and there’s no way her real parents would ever do anything cruel and selfish to their child.
She didn’t know, but then the story happened and she learned that magic was real and she could do it because she was Wiccan and descended from a full blooded witch.
… But then she does a real magic spell that, because of her magic beliefs and/or bloodline, stops the real supernatural monster. There was even a bit about how someone else doing the exact same mumbo jumbo didn’t work because “you’re not a wiccan”
The villain saying “I want to make everyone Super, so that it’s not just natural Supers that get to have powers” is absolutely an objectivist-adjacent plot. The fact that Syndrome also wants to murder (genocide?) Supers with his droids and “spend his life getting all his kicks from being the only (artificial) Super until he gets bored and then shares the tech with the public” is a classic example of attaching blatant evil to the ideology you want to villainize.
It’s not the movie saying “if everyone’s super, no one is”, it’s the movie saying “the dude who wants everyone to be super instead of only the genetic lottery winners is evil bad murder villain, look, we wrote him doing so much evil bad murder!”
Like, let’s say you want to have themes of anti-environmentalism in your movie. What’s your villain? Eco-terrorist that bombs coal power plants to stop them from polluting the earth. It’s the oldest framing technique in the book, especially for all-ages media: just have the character that expresses the ideology you want to defeat also be a mean bad murder villain. Bonus points if you can somehow make the murder bad villain evil plan relate to the ideology in some superficial way.

man, of all the times to accidentally a word in a post, he threw an extra “to” into his post making fun of people’s grammar. Unless he’s trying to use “to English” as a verb, which seems unlikely.

Yeah, but in computing (well, specifically the language this slide is about) they’re referred to as integers and not referred to as “whole numbers” or any other synonym. If you’re looking up something to do with integers in the documentation, you need to have the word “integer” in your vocabulary as “the” way to refer to numbers without decimal places to find what you’re looking for. Same way you need to know “string” instead of “word” or “text field” or “sentence”.
