  • I feel like the traditional narrative structure of superhero comics basically came out of an episodic format where:

    1. you have to more-or-less return to the status quo by the end of the storyline, unless otherwise mandated (to make it less nightmarish for both writers and readers to keep up with a continuity, especially in a shared universe), and
    2. the hero basically always wins (because it's a superhero comic and for kids)

    and 'there-is-a-bad-change-and-I-must-stop-it' is sort of a natural extension of these constraints. Obviously this is no excuse and the same pattern ALSO shows up in a ton of standalone media, but I'm not surprised it's particularly bad there.

    A sheltered bitch tbh. I barely had an opinion on anything, I clung to the edges of Tumblr 'SJW' culture and passively liked environmentalism but just couldn't summon the strength to know shit about electoral politics and always tuned it out

    Prudes don't want these permanent signals because prudes want to do things like get prestigious jobs or committed relationships where piercings, tattoos and blue/purple hair are disqualifications [hence, costly].

    ah, yes, because no promiscuous woman has ever wanted a job

    This partially automated system uses “smart contracts” to automatically execute certain tasks based on votes from community members that hold a financial stake in Decentraland. The more money members have invested in either currency or land, the more Voting Power they get.
    One such smart contract governs the banned names list, which can only be modified by community vote. In one instance, the community voted in favor of banning the name “Hitler”—51 votes to 15—but since the vote didn’t reach a high enough threshold of Voting Power, the vote failed and the suggestion was rejected.

    :yea:
