Blue Star posted:Feminism should 100% concentrate on the betterment and empowerment of female human beings. Feminists and feminist movements shouldn't have to lift a finger for males, whether they're cisgender males or transgender. Biological sex matters. Reproductive rights matter. The fact that female humans are an oppressed class under patriarchy matters. That's ALL that loving matters. Males, regardless of what they identify as, should not interfere or seek to include themselves. They are irrelevant to feminism and should recognize themselves to be such. How about you take your trans hating self, and shove it up your own rear end where all the other poo poo belongs?

We are entering an interesting future for humanity. Thanks to technology and healthcare, a lot of people are surviving previously lethal genetic traits, passing them on, and having those children survive. I'm not saying at all that humans living longer is a bad thing, just that we've managed to remove a very basic part of nature from ourselves; survival of the fittest. So without eugenics, and since humans are garbage is guaranteed to end poorly, we need to "fix" ourselves with other means. Probably cybernetic enhancements. But unless we find a way to create synthetic organs and bodies for free the same day we figure out how to create synthetic organs and bodies, it will create such an unbelievable and unprecedented disparity the likes of which humans have never seen before. I know it's a common and somewhat overplayed trope in sci-fi, but we would absolutely face a future where the rich are immortal superbeings, able to replace any damaged part of themselves on a whim, while the poors still require chemotherapy to take care of that pesky brain cancer. No matter how the future of humanity plays out, it's going to result in awful people who will abuse it having access to it first.

I'm a rich business mogul who needs a male heir to pass my company down to. Gotta make sure he's straight too, can't have my name go to some gay guy who won't have a real family.

Solice Kirsk posted:Don't Japanese business men adopt adult male heirs for exactly this reason already? Yeah Japan has a shitload of adoptions, and they're almost always men in their 20s-30s. Usually the husband of their daughter, as they need a man to run their company. So allowing you to make a baby to your demands would see an end (or at least reduction) to this tradition, since they'd just guarantee that their firstborn was a straight male.

Solice Kirsk posted:Huh, is there a way to get on some sort of "Japanese Business Empire Adoption" list or something? I think I'd do pretty well as a Japanese business man. They wouldn't hold my Spanish/Italian heritage or US citizenship against me would they? If you're not Japanese, there's about a zero percent chance that you'd get business-adopted. They are notorious for disliking foreigners, and I'm sure they'd rather have their daughter run the company than some dirty immigrant. Collateral Damage posted:Doesn't Japan (like most of the western world) already have a nativity problem? I'm not sure letting people choose to only have male offspring would help that. Their population is aging rapidly, and they're funding a lot of robotics development to help make up for a lack of people in the future. Granted, thats not the only reason why they're funding robotics (robots are cool). When China had their one-child policy, and families would drown the baby if it was a girl they ended up creating a generation where there's relatively no women, there was an entire industry built around people driving to the countryside or neighbouring countries to steal women to be brides for the lonely Chinese men.

Collateral Damage posted:So what's the reason for this? You occasionally read articles about how crazy career-focused Japanese culture is, so is it because people just don't have time/energy to date after working 80 hour weeks? From my (limited) understanding, its the career thing. Casual sex is kind of a weird taboo there, so nobody bones because nobody has the time to get to the part of dating where it's ok to bang. Blaming anime is never a wrong choice.

hard counter posted:It's also why I can't get too mad at Landis' liberal interpretation of HHH's career in his short film because at the heart of it he does convey why fans stick around. His use of models to depict wrestlers may have come off as douchey, he sorta is too tbh, but he is a professional film-maker and in his AMA he mentions that he knew he was going to stretch the facts and using women to represent men (his terms: contrasting iconography) was a deliberate choice to divorce his film from reality iirc. I thought the use of skinny models to play the roles of gargantuan wrastlers was funny and good.

The United States was settled using violence. It became a country through violence. Nearly every major civil rights movement used violence to achieve its goal. Now that there's a wannabe tyrant elected who's policies will literally kill people, violence suddenly isn't the answer anymore?

The_Rob posted:The first 15 minutes or so were great and then it turned into a mediocre generic superhero film. So just like the first Robocop. The only difference being the reboot doesn't have the over-the-top blood (which I'm completely indifferent to), and the social commentary is updated for the 21st century. It also deals with the human an emotional costs of being robocop, something which the first movie completely glossed over. The reboot has an excellent scene where Alex Murphy is visiting his kid for the first time since being transformed, and the framing is incredible for an action movie. He stands as his kid sits in a chair, with his head, the only part of him that's human, completely out of frame. The shot lingers uncomfortably long on this scene, as the kid just takes in the fact that his loving father is no longer a person. Surprisingly touching and emotional for something in an action movie.
