Stan Edgar spent a whole monologue explaining to M.M and Us how capitalism is the problem not the supes.

So you would think after deciding to not commit supe genocide cause it's unnecessary to kill supes if something else comes to replace it, it would mean Hughie would now work to cut the infection from its roots but no no no instead of helping the government deal with vought and capitalism he rejects the offer and builds his own bloody private company.

No matter how i phrase what i say,how clear i'm,how much detail i give the information it gets discarded. And i get this respond of sanctimonious empathy instead that reads to me like "oh you're just a woman i dont blame you for thinking that lowly"

No matter how much i hear that western society as a whole has gotten better at seeing womem equally i just don't believe that for a second,

i obviously don't experience this with my loved ones cause they don't see me as a woman but as me. But even people you meet regulary shouldn't have this preprogrammed identification when talking to you.

I've noticed being logically assertive in women gets mistaken for "having trauma" or "overcompensating,".

I hate having body hair but i equally hate spending 1 to 2 hours shaving every week for my whole body, i'm extremely conscious about time so i feel dread when i spend time on something like that instead of doing something more productive, I would laser my whole body but i hear it takes 10 sessions...

I'm NOT spending money and all that time to do something that isn't even permenant.

Please help, what's the fastest and most effective way to shave.

(Spoilers for Code Geass)

I genuinely think media reductionism has destroyed how people engage with stories because why are we boiling entire narratives down to one thing and then pretending that’s all they ever were. Like people will watch all 50 episodes of Code Geass and come out of it saying "people only like it because Lelouch died” as if the series wasn’t constantly exploring imperialism, political radicalization, propaganda, revolutionary hypocrisy, identity, utilitarianism, and whether violence can ever actually create peace. It’s such a frustrating way to consume media because it ignores literally everything the story is trying to say in favor of one easily repeatable takeaway.

And the thing is, protagonist deaths are not rare at all. Tons of anime kill their main characters and nobody cares because shock value alone does not create a legendary ending. What made Code Geass stand out was that Lelouch’s death was thematically earned. The entire series builds toward the contradiction of a man trying to destroy oppression while slowly becoming more authoritarian himself. His ending works because it resolves the ideological conflict between him and Suzaku. One believes corrupt systems must be destroyed from the outside while the other believes change has to come from within, and the story spends the entire runtime showing the flaws in both mindsets. Neither of them are fully right. That nuance is literally the point.

People also massively oversimplify the Zero Requiem by acting like the show said “war is gone forever yay world peace.” No it didn’t 😭 the series never claims humanity is magically fixed now. Lelouch basically creates a temporary political reset by turning himself into the world’s common enemy so the cycle of revenge can stop long enough for people to rebuild. That’s actually way more politically grounded than people act like it is. History is FULL of examples where the death or fall of one massive political figure reshaped global stability for decades. The point was never eternal peace. The point was sacrifice, symbolism, and creating the possibility for a better future even if it’s imperfect.

honestly this issue goes beyond Code Geass. People do this with literally every piece of media now. AOT becomes “edgy genocide show” Evangelion becomes “depressed robot anime” Vinland Saga becomes “violence bad” and suddenly years of layered writing, themes, symbolism, and character psychology get flattened into TikTok level summaries. It feels like people are so obsessed with having the quickest possible take that they refuse to actually sit with what a story is trying to communicate.

Do you genuinely treat MBTI as a tool that you use in day to day life?

the thing is that I often see that people don't even care about MBTI to self-develop or use it as a tool as a system to self-improve

(which is fine if it helps you it helps you, I personally view it as rubbish practically but a really fun system to explore)

i personally think people don't even care about the cognitive functions even if they are educated in it, i think most people use MBTI cause it fills our human instinctual need for tribal belonging, the thought of having a community of like-minded people and similar struggles is a safe haven to feel, well, safe in of course.

It also acts as a way for us to push agendas,feel special,have a aesthetic, it gets used as a way to present yourself to be used as a language of self-descripition cause having a framework do the work for you is much easier than accepting no typological system will fill you whole, it just becomes a familiar and recognizable category you can step into. it becomes a form of self-branding.

as a invention I believe typology like MBTI forces people into labels to eradicate individuality of humans so that people become more submissive to be defined by systems.

Lets make this harder, lets say you’re a apprentice with no prior experience no safety nets no nothing, your apprenticeship company drops you and now you're jobless with no official work experience, whats your next move?

Bonus question: what do you think of nihilism?

Yukio Mishima (INFJ) said:

"Human beings aren’t strong enough to live and die only for themselves. That’s because we have ideals. We can only act for the sake of something. We soon tire of only living for ourselves."

And I'm in full agreement with him, I want to believe that living for yourself can be enough, but I keep feeling like it isn’t. There’s only so much a person can take from their own comfort, survival, or happiness before it starts to feel thin. Maybe that’s why ideals matter. They give suffering a direction. They make sacrifice feel less meaningless. Still, I hesitate, because living for an ideal can become consuming. It can ask too much. But i think human beings need something that asks too much. we are not built to endure life only by protecting ourselves. i think we need something greater than the self, even if we are never fully sure it deserves us.

Do you guys agree or disagree and why?
