    My three paths:

    Women are not to be doing the right now, but they can be a good thing for the cause of a problem.

    Women are the most popular option for a first playthrough of the year 1250ad.

    Women are more important at first playthrough they can be a big mystery for a first reread and the north.

    I don’t know what happened in 1250ad, and don’t think I have even typed that before?


  • Not really. They asserted a thing, to which you, I think, mostly agreed with them, but in an obtuse way. Within your own comment, how would “spreading harmful opinions” not be hurting someone? Where does the harm come from?

    It really just comes of as the OP giving a fairly reasonable statment about JKR probably not looking at jail time, and how they think she is probably cynically using that for clout. Then you come in saying you believe it isn’t that for niche not-really-addressing-their-point reasons, which is proving them wrong on the level of say sunglasses emoji, gottem.

    I truly do appreciate it. It’s very dark, but without being overly edgy about it, and how little she needs to to say to evoke that feeling, and for its portrait of people dealing with serious shit without losing themselves. but I could easily imagine someone who went in cold bouncing off of it, particularly right now.

    On its own, its very dark. There is a ton of pretty harsh subject matter, most of which is implied or you only passingly see the aftermath of, but contributes to it feeling very heavy.

    Then it also feels very topical, despite being released in 1993, it opens in july of 2024 and features a devolving american political situation with some startling specific similarities to our real life political situation. If you are prone to doomerism I can imagine it really fueling that impulse.














  • I think Ken Buck, being a political insider, also probably knew that the media would run with that quote; and that the paranoia it would inspire would fuck with the republicans in the house who made him want to leave in the first place.

    If the house republican leadership also starts exerting pressure to stay on those it perceives as weak links; it may drive some of them out, partially as a result of this statement.
