In ATLA, there's an infamous episode called The Great Divide.

Aang tells a lie to get two tribes to stop fighting a pointless feud that's been going on a hundred years or so. And the fandom seems to get all huffy about that.

I think he did the right thing. If there's nothing to prove he's lying about how the feud began, then there's nothing to prove about why it should continue either.

How Republicans feel after murdering a woman by deciding the fetus is more important.

You'd probably like Blake's 7 then, in regards to cameras.

Used to be Star Wars. Then my interest fizzled altogether anyway.

I feel like most sci-fi fandoms are like that. There are good bunches, then loud minorities that are either bigoted, excessive about details they don't like, or both

I don't recognise the current American regime as a valid government. Just like I don't recognise the Israeli occupation force as a valid state.

It's not remotely binding or even meaningful to anyone but myself of course. But hey, nothing matters these days.

They say "Every child has a right to education."

And then behave as if it's "Every child has a responsibility to be educated."

So yeah, while I absolutely think education in itself is vital, I do get peeved when they immediately lie by changing what they do versus what they say.

By they, I mean outdated education boards of self-absorbed twits who grew up decades earlier and have no real grasp of what today's generation needs.

Ah, Gene Roddenberry must've written the movie then.

Of course they hate South Korea.

South Korea actually knows how to deal with fascist dictators.

In a Yogscast TTT video some years back, Rythian used 'Green Mario' as a joking name for Bouphe, who was using the Luigi player model at the time.

For those who want to undermine reddit's power trip, I propose Green Mario as the first stick in their knee-bending attitude.

I went out with a bang. Coincidentally, implying that such things should happen to the Muskrat and pedophile dictator too.

The latter getting a golden pager from Netty the Butcher was my highlight snark. And telling off the idiots at LSC was a good bit of satisfaction for myself.

I miss being able to interact with certain smaller subreddits for particular interests, but that's about it.

I genuinely don't know if there'd be enough of a following to see an active Blakes 7 group over here. That's my biggest loss tbh.
