Yet when the villains are calculating genocidal eugenicists, you say ‘why did they make the villain the good guy?’, and when they make the villain some violent jackass who says nigger, you say ‘leftists are so stupid they really think this is what its like’.

How do these contradict each other?

Different types of villains behave differently and are different Archetypes.
A great example is Batman's enemies, among whom are street gangsters, drug dealers and at the same time an ancient order of super ninjas.

I was playing Borderlands recently and one of the local raiders yelled something like "I'm going to fuck your skull"
It didn't feel cringe - because it was written into the setting and suited the villain.
Now imagine hearing the same phrase, say, from an Imperial stormtrooper.
It would sound inappropriate and damn cringe.

industry is mainly fueled by normalfags who cannot be allowed to experience anything actually badong
every "villain" or "morally grey" character must be a toothless wholesome chungus who does bad things but not really
they cant risk writing a legitimate villain that lines up with what modern sensibilities consider "evil" without risking people sympathizing in some way and going against conditioning the tiniest bit

I think you're missing the point, anon. The issue is that nowadays all characters are bound by restriction like we're back to the age of the comics code authority. Nobody is allowed to have any VERBOTEN opinion unless there's a giant glowing sign saying "STUPID WRONG LOSER" that's pointing at them at all times becaue otherwise the players might think the developers actually support that or some dumb shit like that

So you get things like picrel where the villain is an evil psychopath but of course he'll still respect your heckin pronouns

Cyberpunk 2077 basically lol

There's a controversial scene where you get to mock Jesus Christ and there's desecrated porn Catholic imagery in the Mexican gang but otherwise no other bigotry or problematic anti-liberal edge.

The city is colonized by an old and evil Japanese WW2 veteran yet nobody is racist against the Japanese. The word "Jap" is never uttered nor is it acknowledged that his megacorp is foreign and hostile, despite the entire genre being born when people were racist against Japanese in the 80s and the word "Jap" was being thrown around almost as much as the word "chink" nowadays, complete with racist WW2 imagery and racist posters/sentiments. Yet nobody minds Arasaka on a racial level despite them employing Japanese exclusive biker gangs to terrorize the plebs on top of parking an entire aircraft carrier in Night City bay.

There's a Haitian gang that occupied an entire district and kills cops on sight and not a single "nigger" is heard in the entire game despite even today's elections are being won with "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS" soundbites lol.
There's trannies and fags and even sexual exclusivity but nobody is sexist or homophobic or transphobic. Don't even have an option to say something unsavory despite V dying of cancer and being in the bad mood. No, everyone is a safe-edgy, quirk chungus pizza.

tl;dr we need bigotry in media, I'm afraid. It's fun, funny, gritty, realistic natural, expected and engaging. Even subpar lore and world building in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games get thread to this day talking about Pelinal Whitestrake racist genocide rampage and Imperial vs Stormcloak shitflinging complete with interracial bigotry over druggie cats, enslaved lizards and generally xenophobic elves.
Also sexism being a hot and divisive issue. It's what made Caesar's Legion in New Vegas have teeth. But the developers regretted it midway through resulting in Avowed and Outer World feeling hollow.

Bring back racism and sexism.

It's also the faction that actually makes sense to be that way given the universe they exist in. Super Earth being on the defensive against 3 different genocidal factions gives them the moral imperative to defend their citizens. So killing all the bugs/bots/squids is pretty justified.

Its because our entertainment is used against us as social conditioning and when you begin to notice and mentally piece together logical inconsistencies like this it all starts to fall apart. So you can enjoy your fantasy world under the conditions that it morally aligns with the current year and regime, if it falls outside of that boundry it cant exist and its wrongthink.
We're basically reaching a boiling point in this facade of morality plays because as you can see itt for example the concept of who is more empathetic is now being used as a debate tactic. The concept of which protagonist and which villain you align yourself with as your favorite is now a debate tactic, so because of this the characters in the fictional fantasy world have to be outlets for someones irl politics and therefor, since violence is universally accepted as fine entertainment, they can be killers and robbers but they can never ever be sexist racist or homophobic because that would mean you and the creators are those things. And it goes without saying none of us are killers and robbers, because thats ridiculous fantasy territory, meanwhile sexism racism and homophobia are very REAL issues that hit too close to home. Yes this is how people really think. The notion that violence and killing is wrong because life is sacred never occurs in this equation.

So obtuse. "Nigger" was also just a mangled "Negro" which referred to black people. It became offensive due to context - How and who were using it.

"Jap" was a hostile term against the Japanese during WW2 and it was hurled even at the innocent Japanese civilians living in the US at the time which eventually led them to being imprisoned in concertation camps.

During the Japan bashing era of the 80s the slur was resurrected, once again in very hostile and hateful context because the Japanese industries were outcompeting the Americans at their own game. Everyone was seething at the Japanese back then and they often talked about "HOW DARE SOMEONE WHO WE DEFEATED IN WW2 COME HERER AND BUY OUR LAND". Random Asian-Americans were getting harassed, beaten and even killed like Vincent Chin (who was Chinese but they killed him thinking he was some Japanese that took their job) because the racism was out of control and even encouraged by the government, legislators and lawyers.

"Jap" is absolutely a racist slur, crack open a book this wasn't even that long ago. Trump is still bullying Japan like with Nippon Steel xenophobic remarks. Just because the Japanese are largely polite and don't often speak English to counter you doesn't mean it's your green light to be a scumbag.

no thats not a good thing, you are saying a core conceit of storytelling shouldnt exist because people like it. Im convinced you are a bot.
>>
>>720552183
Yeah, and now "nigga" is used as shorthand often to refer to an individual person, either someone else or the speaker. "Can a nigga borrow a fry?" where nigga is obviously not being used as a racial slur....provided your black enough to say. Which paradoxically means that despite the word changing definition over time, it's still somehow racist based on the speaker and not the context at all. IE you can be black and say nigga, you can't be white and say nigga even if used in exactly the same context.

To which I say, nigga that's racist.

The speaker is part of the greater context. Whatever that's irrelevant to what I'm saying.

"Jap" is absolutely a racist slur, used negatively in war and then being recycled against a meek populace that was dumbfounded by the gall of entitled shitmericans seething. It carries almost as much as baggage as the slur "gook". "Gook" being worse since the wars it was used in lasted longer and were applied to different ethnicities - enforcing the racist "ARR ROOK SAME" sentiment.

Yet it's somehow only a racial slur based entirely on the speakers race. This one word has caused more problems than any other and it's impressive to see how people will use double speak to explain how it's racist when practically anyone saying it will rarely use nigga as the slur instead of just using nigger. So which is it? Is it racist because it's a derivative of nigger, or is it not because it's a different word entirely?

The current era of homophobia, misogony and transphobia was just called 'normal' 100 years ago and is still called normal in most of the world.

In most oppressive empires in recorded human history, the first thing that happens is the oppression of women. Second thing that happens is ethnic cleansing or eugenics through evicting foreigners or decrees against fraternizing with them.
Maoist China is a great example, how do you reconcile with your country being made of over a hundred flavors of ethnic Chinese when you want your master race to be Han? You just starve them all. Kill 100 million people and suddenly, you don't have as many ethnic minorities.

Ok so I was right, you dont want the discussion to go beyond "ppl get uncomfortable and thats not good" because you personally dont like it. Sounds like you need to grow up and learn to ignore threads dealing with difficult topics you dont like instead of charging in headfirst and telling people to get cancer.

40k as a setting already tried both of those things and their failures directly lead to the hellhole that is the current era. That's like saying "well we tried communism and killed a 3rd of our own population and destroyed our economy....maybe we should try it again but this time will be different".

Yeah, if they didn't face retarded challenges and the Human imperfection itself constantly rotting everything away.
The more densely Humans are packed, the more retarded they become and start murder sprees and breakdowns, with compensatory cope beliefs to follow which fracture shit. See city crime as opposed to way lighter rural crime.
On the other hand, the more you distance Humans from each other, like in rural, the more fringe distance creates individual cultural pockets distanced from a base culture, with creativity fueling other modes of retardation that also create collision between the pockets further down the line.

Probably the only one who got it right was Frank Herbert. You can't fix Humanity as a whole. The only good solution is to spread it as far and wide as possible, with the distance being such that no matter how many cultures, religions, ideologies, are sprouted at whichever planet or plane of existence, the conflict between them can never be responsive enough to erase Humanity itself due to distance, resource strain, and time requirements. In that aspect the Dispersal Theory of Dune's God Emperor is the best case scenario.
Sadly it doesn't apply to 40k Universe, or rather the Milky Way Galaxy. It hasn't been validated yet if the Warp as a phenomena exists in other Galaxies, and whether they even have life anymore what with Nyds scouring them. Another solution then is the Xeelee solution, which is similar to what the Old Ones attempted albeit at a way more primitive scale and strategy.

I mean 15 years ago they vehemently insisted they didn't want to strip the second amendment from the constitution as a precursor to stripping out the first and claimed anyone who said so was a conspiracy theorist.

Now they don't even bother to deny it. A day before the election you had Kerry and Clinton saying the first amendment was a historic mistake lmao. And they're the so-called "moderates".

It has been tried in 40k, whole point of Horus heresy was that Emperor was kneecapped by the chaos gods and everything he intended to happen didn't.

Even before the Emperor, in the Dark Age of Technology mankind was some super democratic highly advanced progressive society...then the warp storms kicked in and all the alien races mankind was "allied" with betrayed them en masse. THEN you had the Men of Iron going rogue and nearly wiping out mankind. Humanity at one point DID have all that progressive hippy dippy shit, but it fell apart almost immediately upon the first disaster that struck it. Meanwhile as bad as the Imperium is, it's still able to withstand multiple civilization shattering events back to back, either due to size or the sheer dogmatic belief system of the people within it.

>It wasn't humans who ruined things, it was Horus with his weak aura
I mean, Humans didn't ruin it, but they did contribute to it. If it were not Humans, another sentient species would have all-in-all, since emotional energy from the presence and development of souls, coupled with creativity making for a wide specter of both positive and negative mental conceptions, would accelerate the growth and creation of Chaos Gods. They already existed before Humanity as weak entities, or rather in weakened slumber somewhat akin to the Necrons in a kind of Warp Coma to stave off emotional hunger as Galaxy was setting itself up with sentient life again; but that sentient life developing was also the trigger and fuel for their reawakening.
The big "plan", which may have been owed to the Old Ones, was creating a species that has a soul neither strong nor weak, just perfectly balanced enough to neither feed the Chaos Gods too much nor succumb too easily to its own powers, and have a kind of golden timeframe during which it could extricate itself by creating the anti-Warp measures. That shit the bed too with accelerated soul development among Humanity. Tau will get the same treatment, sooner or later their faint almost non-existent souls will also start to grow and glow brighter, and they'll end up a shitshow as well since they are themselves a parody of Humanity.

>Maoist China is a great example, how do you reconcile with your country being made of over a hundred flavors of ethnic Chinese when you want your master race to be Han?
The KMT-led Republic of China which overthrew the Manchu-led Qing dynasty in 1911 did so thanks to racism against the Manchu. They reused the Taiping mottos of "Restore the Han overthrow the Man" and people started cutting off their queue braids. This escalated to full blown racism and attacks on the Manchu minority which made little sense since they weren't really in the control of the colonies anyway.

When the Republic of China's government - the KMT - lost the war against the communists they fled to Taiwan. On Taiwan this racist sentiment persevered and they started killing and oppressing the minorities on the Taiwan island leading to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Terror_(Taiwan) because they were the Han supremacists at the time.

The communists on the other hand protected the Manchurians against the racist sentiment of the KMT rulers during the civil war. And when the People's Republic of China was established they expanded the official minority list of ethnicities to 40 then to 55. This lead to some funny exchanges like "I was Han yesterday but today I'm Yi."

That's the complete opposite of what you were claiming. That's actually splitting not just the North-South Han divide but the provincial Han in smaller regional groups.
What's more these recognized minorities didn't have 1 child policies applied to them - leading them to multiple over the years. Maoist China was the opposite of Han nationalism. Hanfu wasn't even represented in those official murals before just a few years ago.

>You just starve them all. Kill 100 million
>OY BEY THE GOMMIE DEMON KILLED 6 GORILLIONS MINORITIES
lol
China's population doubled under Mao. From half a billion to a billion. Thanks to "Barefoot Doctors" and other policies.

People question this but it is pretty obvious. It is because all of the people who would right actual controversial villains in this way don't include these groups in their works. That itself isn't a problem and is in fact natural as most people have to force themselves to include all the random minorities as it simply isn't what they are interested in. This leads to there being no opportunities for the villain to be homophobic or racist. Misogyny is actually not too uncommon for a villain or morally grey character, and this is because women are the other half of the species and thus will nearly always be featured in a work. As for the slavery, fascism, ethnic cleansing, etc. You mostly don't see that because it would mess with the tone of the work. More dramatic works still feature these things. The real place that media truly is weak is sex related topics. You'll pretty much almost never see a character rape or be attracted to a teenager or any other sexual act considered immoral by the mainstream, even bad guys you aren't meant to care about. Even the most mature works still may dance around the topic of sex alone. You'll have hordes of barbarians raze a city and just simply kill the women and girls instead of raping or taking them as wives/sex slaves. Most of this stuff is reserved for pornographic works even when it would make sense in a serious one.

I find it quite amazing that the tables were largely flipped when it came to something like writing protagonists into antagonists when it came to TV vs. Video Games. Everyone loved praising the living fuck out of Kojima, but his writing proves largely that his sense of screenwriting and pacing is horrendous, he has genuine issues tackling heavier and more impactful topics (despite his settings always having military or anti-war themes) in comparison, many TV centric episodic shows have had quite well written villains and quite well paced storytelling and it has very little to do with the medium. As a whole, storytelling has declined after boomers have peaced out of the industry.

Most people wouldn't mind living in an authoritarian dystopia if they had bread and circuses. The only reason anyone doesn't like the idea is because they can't guarantee the leadership would be friendly to their specific entertainment and wouldn't ban it. If everyone were given a decent property, paid enough monthly, could spend that on whatever they want, and the system was guaranteed to hold up (since this is really unfeasible currently), they wouldn't care if they couldn't make fun of the government. In the end, we only really care about the pursuit of happiness. Banning entertainment is always one of the worst choices people in power can make.

It clearly ain't if it needs to depend on USA to keep itself afloat, while USA is dependent on CCP or else the economy crashes and civil war begins - which is hilariously USA's own fault for creating China into what it is today and giving it all the production power.

>>
>>720557232
You're missing additional context. The social media ban came in because people were posting and exposing the elite and their children's mass corruption. In response they came out to protest and the state tried gunning them down, but Nepal is a small weak country so didn't have the power to pull it off and got overthrown instead.

If they tried that in the US, the government wouldn't hesitate to open fire and start running over protestors with tanks or bombing them.

It's an effect of Introspective and Feeling types in jungian psychology which you'll find most often in writers rooms these days, they can't externalise the motivations and rationalisations of others, if they write a bad guy being bad, then it's like they are being bad.
