I agree with a lot of what you're saying, re social constructs having some basis in reality, but the problem I have is the sort of appearance based aspect of it, most of the toughest most manly looking men I know are actually socially anxious teddy bears and the most "strength, willingness to physically protect others, usually valuing rationality over emotionality" people I know are 5'4 women.

Like the archetypes make sense, but the social construct is pointlessly gendered...

I read the headline earlier, with no picture, and thought yeah he always looks like a bloated orange monster that tracks.

Actually seeing the pictures all I can think of is the training I did on FAST, literally the F is for face drooping, that old mother fucker is having a god damned stroke...

This planet is 100% magical, we've just let capitalists divide it up into tiny preserves for their own pleasure.

i disagree with this being too harsh, but do agree with the second point about wishing to see this type of punishment extended to the industrial villains, who will never see it, deserving this type of punishment.

Cory Doctorow is a writer who I want to love, i like the plot descriptions of his work and he seems like a really smart and with it person, but his writing style just doesn't spark joy. It feels like work. IDK how to describe it, I just can't get in the flow with his writing.

Maybe I'm missing context on this, but halo slop?

Infinite came out 3 years ago and though they've done updates and general live service garbage there haven't been any major releases since. Halo isn't a yearly release schedule, charging full price for the same game every year like sports games, so i'm not seeing the slop...
