There's your problem.
Well, he was officially neutral between the two belligerents. But when a outside neutral power organises/hosts a peace conference and someone attacks it? That usually ends up with them antagonistic towards whoever shat on the party they were throwing, as a matter of policy and self preservation.
I don't know. That is certainly a valid way to look at it. Another is both the Planetary Government and Hyperclan attacked a peace conference Grayven was involved with. Considering those to have cancelled themselves out and washing your hands of both of them is also a valid response. Especially with a side of "Anyone who is tired of the genocidal bloodbath that is the Martian Civil War is welcome on Planet
I am sadly way behind on my Girl Genius (probably a couple volumes by now at least), but this reminds me of a very good rant from that comic.
That is the one. The third link is the exact one this reminded me of. Thanks Prince.
How many times has he been mentioned? Unlike many of the revelations in season 3, changing a rarely occurring character's name to match canon is an easy fix. No in story retcons needed, just find and replace on a word.
I read a book a while ago where the difference between 'prejudice' and 'prejudgement' was a plot point. 'Prejudice' means an inclination to believe a certain thing or behave in a certain way, while 'prejudgement' means that a person always will.
They aren't ever called that in the relevant comic, but basically.
I'd totally forgotten about that. Thank you for the reminder.
It's not just the name. His character is radically different as well.
You are welcome. It's a good comic, but it's long enough that catching up can be a real time-sink.
Had not read that, but it makes sense. Knowing SV.com, I suggest that some of the mods did literally prejudge you, though.
OK. I thought they seemed familiar, and the comic was probably published after D&D kobolds were presented, so it may have been an intentional reference, rather than a coincidence.
You're welcome Mr. Zoat.
Thank God the Internet is mostly text, or you would never get to sleep.
Oh, hadn't forgotten that one.
One popped into this thread to admit it, so yes. My problem is the disproportionality of the punishment. Like... I regard the rule against spaghetti posting as unnecessary, but I know it exists so I'd try and follow it. There isn't anything particularly wrong with responding to discussion points individually, but I'd agreed to follow the rules on a forum where I knew that ban existed. I didn't remember that 'don't be hateful' covered activities I don't consider hateful. I don't feel bad for what I did in breaking the rule, but if I'd remembered that it was against the rules I wouldn't have broken the rule. Once I checked and saw the rule, I wasn't happy, but punishment for breaking it isn't unreasonable.
Ah yes, the old "we will infract you for one thing and then when you are in the middle of disputing it tell you you were infracted for something else entirely" that many moderators pull so you can't successfully dispute their infraction.
In all fairness, if brain uploads were viable, I would fully spend time as a helicopter, but I don't identify with my biological chassis but rather my cognitive pattern and have been called quite mad for that before.
I can only remember showing interest in Roy Harper and Thomas Blake.
Getting dangerously close to politics here, but I'll avoid arguing a specific side here.
Of course, one could argue that Cheshire-16-WTR is a bit more likely to be bi based on how, when OL was in the Chinese-dominated universe, she seemed rather enthusiastic about the possibility of getting him into a two-female threesome with his superior (and damn my shoddy memory for not remember her name!)...
Yifei Jade, but that iteration was from a very different cultural background.
I can only assume the Dresden Files hadn't reached Ghost Story by the time he left, or he'd know that was a terrible idea.
Wait, how would you kn-
The same way you "know" he's read anything from the Dresden Files.
No, absolutely not. If someone's accusing you of being bigoted, stop paying attention to their opinion as they are almost certainly not worth the energy to talk to.
That's... actually not bigotry. Racist, extremely, but the definition of bigotry is:
Given this is in the context of "how do I get these people to listen to me", that's probably not a great tactic. In fact, not paying attention to them is kind of the problem.
