ROUND 2 — Match 42 of 138

Ozaki Toshio (Shiki)

Problematic because: "Experimented on his wife to discover how to kill the vampires from Shiki, a very graphic and painful scene" Propaganda: "He basically slowly came to become a monster himself while chasing them, a trope I always like"

vs. Eva Stratt (Project Hail Mary)

Problematic because: "Forces the main character - a guy she seemed genuinely fond of - onto a suicide mission, for starters. Does not give a fuck about morality if it helps Earth and humanity survive. Nukes Antarctica to increase global warning, which straight up sounds like a supervillain plot." "She paved the Sahara desert." "committed copyright law violations" Propaganda: 1. "There's an Animorphs quote about how 'ruthless' doesn't mean 'mean', it's about seeing the bright clear line from A to B and not caring about anything else. Eva Stratt is ruthless. She needs to be. She does things that are cruel, that are destructive, that will have terrible consequences, and every one of them is calculated to give humanity the best chance at survival. She knows she'll likely go to prison for everything she's done, but she doesn't care; all that matters is that bright clear line." 2. "She did it all to save the world. To save as many humans as possible. Doesn’t that justify it? Doesn’t that make her actions worth it? She had to save the whole world, surely a few deaths along the way is okay." 3. "I support women's wrongs" 4. "She is not a bad person, and she was the one put in charge to save the world from freezing. She is a woman in charge, and because of the nature of that role, she ends up getting blamed for all the dubious stuff she had to do to save the earth and put in jail for something she had to do, which calls into question the nature of our society and how women are treated. Also, we support women’s wrongs"

Who should advance?

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

my dad is very intensely involved a battle with his city’s public administration over a playground they have tried to forcibly remove like five times in the past 20 years and DID remove once in like 2005 but then had to rebuild because my dad was such a pain in their asses and came through with undeniable receipts of the zoning plan from the 60s/the historic/cultural value of the urban planning…. like there’s a woman in the city office who is his arch nemesis. he is literally the daredevil of urban planning

everyone in the tags needs to stop saying they want to fuck my dad.
