Farmer Abe

@farmerabe it’s alright, happy new year to you too

@FrolenZan Happy New Year, by the way.
            
            Yeah, I'm sixteen days late, but give me a break, I just started college again.

@farmerabe no idea

@FrolenZan Aptly put. 
            
            Kind of puts things into perspective a little more- I never hated Joel for what he did, to be fair.
            
            Now I could kind of see a conversation like this between Adam and Ferdinand…
            
            Ferdinand: Dad?
            
            Adam: What.
            
            Ferdinand: I just wanted to say you don't have to worry about me, because I'm never gonna have sex.
            
            Adam: Oh, Ferdinand, now don't say that!
            
            Ferdinand: …I thought that's what you wanted?
            
            Adam: Well, yes, if you were my daughter… but you're my son!
            
            Ferdinand: …Why is not okay for girls, but it IS okay for boys?
            
            Adam: (sighs) It's called the double-standard, Ferdinand. Don't knock it- we got the long end of the stick on that one.
            
            Because it is just a bit more of a double-standard in Remnant, isn't it?

@farmerabe No such thing as a father who loves his daughter, wouldn't destroy the world if they try to hurt her. Anyone whose played the last of Us who isn't a parent criticizes Joel for how the game ended. Yet every parent whose played the game answers the, "I get it." 
            
            That's the paradox of being a loving parent, you value your childrens life more than the world. Even if you are reassured that they'll be fine, that worry never leaves. 
            
            With Sons, Fathers know that the world breaking them is what will make them stronger. Not to leave them to fend for themselves, but to teach them how to navigate the world, so that they can be assured they can pass the torch. For Daughters it's different, no amount of preparing can change the fact that Men are physically stronger than women. Maybe in Remnant it's different, but no amount of training marital arts, or etc. will change that physically women are at a disadvantage. Worse still is that a father's greatest fear is their daughters being taken advantage of. So a father becomes the invulnerable shield, at least until she can find her own he can trust in. 
            
            It's hard to describe, but father's love differently than mothers. It's just as grand and self sacrificing, only a father makes peace with the fact that the second they became a parent, they lost all attachments to life, as it belongs to their children and spouse.

@Olympiatookmysoul I don’t agree with representation in media. A good character is a good character regardless of what they look like. Whether or not you can see yourself in them because of how they look is irrelevant. This desperate need to be validated in media with a characters appearance rather than personality is why lazy authors think they could get away with subpar work.
            
            It’s this Moronic mentality why you have authors that make characters with their defining characteristic is their Difference in appearance rather than their character. The reason Bumble is a failure is not just because the relationship was handled poorly. The biggest issue is that the established personalities of the 2 characters realistically clashed so much that by all rights the 2 would have ended up hating each other. However because LGBTQ fans wanted representation and pushed bumblebee, RT stupidly decided to do the one thing that ruined them. Pander to the idiots.
            
            At the end of the day the whole thing is cracked.

@FrolenZan 
            Politics, why did it have to be politics? 
            
            I am not a political person, the main reason I engage in fiction is to escape the cruel reality of our world. I also fall under the category of “Outsider Left” which means like South Park has proven time and time again, views both sides as equally dumb.
            
            I do believe in representation in media, I think we should all see ourselves in our favorite fictional characters. What draws my ire is when people (*cough* Disney *cough*) raise such a massive fuss on how they have an LGBTQ+ character in one of their films only for that character to basically be a glorified extra, at that point your just using inclusivity to tap into LGBTQ community for a quick buck. 
            
            But in all honesty if you want to write a Queer couple, just write them like a normal couple, it’s not that hard, had Blake and Yang been given more development and growth, then the fandom probably wouldn’t be the dumpster fire it is now. But that’s my piece, you can disagree if you want, and have your own option and I’ll respect that, but that’s just something I wanted to get off my chest for while.

@farmerabe Yes

@FrolenZan it could still be a cane maybe the cane could also be a sword I've seen this in a few anime cartoons where characters we use canes they're actually swords just remove the scabbard

@FrolenZan That is nice.
            
            My family had a quiet Christmas at home- just the way I like it.

@farmerabe it was nice. Family got together for gift exchange.

@farmerabe Merry Christmas

@farmerabe Merry Christmas

@farmerabe she tried to shoulder everything.

@FrolenZan Her mom was to shoulder everything?

@farmerabe She never faced a terrible Grimm she couldn't take down easily or with help. She also couldn't bring herself to trust Jaune to help her. I don't blame her mind you, but her mom was to shoulder everything.

@farmerabe No, Penny's "Death" was just as stupidly handled in retrospect. All of it was handled as if it was Cinders master plan, but everything only worked because the masses were all hit with the idiot stick.
            
            Yangs ostracization was so dumb that it speaks volumes how brain dead the writers were. Seriously, a world full of magic, and special powers, and no one questions if Yang was under an illusion, especially when the moronic inner circle KNEW THAT AN AGENT OF SALEM WAS LURKING AROUND.
            
            Penny is a freaking android, what idiot makes an android and doesn't back up their data, a freaking toddler could tell you she was still alive. Yet no, apparently a robot being dismantled is the same as murder, and it's all the huntsman's fault. Distrust the huntsman because the Vytle Festival is trash this year. Mind you I would have agreed with the crowds that the huntsman are becoming irredeemable, because of all the stupid actions perpetrated by team RWBY. If that was alluded to one of the reasons why the masses were getting sick of beacons stupidity, then I would have applauded CRWBY. However that wasn't the case was it, no it's because a freaking robot was dismantled, and one student supposedly cheated. 
            
            Everything about that situation was handled so poorly when you look back, that it becomes a testament how amazing the animation under Monty was, that it covered the horrendous Story telling.

@FrolenZan Penny's death had more impact on the series than Pyrrha's.
            
            At least until they brought her back.
            
            Am I right?

@farmerabe No, her death was so irrelevant that the series lost nothing with her departure. If anything her death should have emboldened Jaune, but that didn’t happen. You’d think Yang would have sympathized with him losing a partner, but again Blake is a cunt, and Yangs character was regulated to simping for that ally cat.
            
            In fact, you’d think all of team JNPR was destined to die for RWBY to rise, but again, it didn’t happen.

@FrolenZan Exactly.
            
            I blame CRWBY for his incompetence, not Oz himself.

@farmerabe his immortal wife being the prime example.

@FrolenZan Only if you write him that way.
            
            Why would the 2,000+ wizard not know how to handle a Karen?

@UnDePlus028 Pretty much.

@farmerabe so... The two of them Made a Kratos?

@farmerabe  A Husbands one natural weakness....an angry wife.
