Who the hell ships non-romantic pairings?

I guess when someone specifically hates a pairing being romantic as opposed to platonic. Practically never, otherwise.

Isn’t this just characters being friends? Why do we need to call it shipping?

Because often the real agenda is to ship one or both characters with someone else. Unless you're an especially neurotic Homestuck fan trying to give everyone a moirail.

Look at the examples they give:

Why do we need to call it shipping?

The verb 'ship' is an abbreviation for 'relationship', which this would be.

>Others like the idea of a heavy-set female being playable, thinking that the Mario franchise's female characters are too idealized

I blame the JOG (Jamaican Occupied Government) for that.

Buffalo Bill is unrealistic and heckin transphobic!

That is actually something very explicit in the novel. They straight up go to a transgender group in the novel with Hannibal going "actually Buffalo Bill isnt trans because they cant hurt a fly."

So this is in the meme page for Dune.
I thought they think the whole replacement/eurabia thing is a right wing myth?

Only when convenient. Doublethink is alive and well in the left.

Last week, an script kiddie managed to break the site. And apparently, we're also blamed for an recent bit of racist vandalism for an earlier incident.

Ban appeal for transphobia in anime and for possibly mischaracterizing The Great Chimp-Out of January 6th


Note that the guy deleted his account before the jannies could respond

 

[Trollblade69]

possibly

Gotta justify your swastika avatar somehow.

 

[Gay Sex Enjoyer]

Worst than 9/11, don'cha know

 

[NerdShamer]

Well, they're also pissed off at THE death metal band for predicting Jan. 6th party around four years before it happened

But the good news is that GWAR is going along with it

 

[Trollblade69]

Reading the appeal. LOL that he's calling it "cringy". Yeah he's an alt-right troll trying to downplay the political agenda through ironic disassociation.

I never noticed before but most of the Launch Pad are entries by the least creative people on the website.

Then you have the classic "This only applies to two things but let's approve it anyway"

Wasn't there an entire anime about this? Because I have an feeling that's what inspired this

We can of course cook and eat wild animals, but we haven't needed to hunt for a long time because we have agriculture. (Some meat e.g. venison is mostly hunted, but that's the exception rather than the rule.)

In a world with readily available monster meat, why wouldn't people eat it?

Same reason why people don't hunt and eat monkeys. Or why the Anglosphere doesn't eat horses. Or why colonial Europeans were afraid of tomatoes. Food taboos are real and usually make no sense if you think about them for a while.

To be fair, some of them do make sense.

For example, why would any sane person want to eat a monkey?

Out of all the examples, Delicious in Dungeon is the only one who actually lives up to the premise of the trope

So you can tell which one is patient zero

I do think that equines, canids, felines, and primates are reasonable lines of animals not to eat. Primates are too humanoid to eat without feeling like cannibalism, the other three are too intimately connected to humans such that farming them for meat is unreasonable. Hating tomatoes though just feels stupid
