Dutch Tumblr pls explain that word

[demilypyro]

so there is no direct Dutch for "discard." the closest equivalent they chose here is "weggooien" which more accurately translates back as "throwing away." but weggooien isn't a noun so they added "mogelijkheden" which means "possibilities" to create a compound word that translates back as "the option to throw away." Dutch has a lot of compound words like that, and yes this is probably the shortest way you can translate that since it's shorter than other ways to phrase it like "mogelijkheid om weg te gooien" which means the same thing but is longer and isn't a single word. this is just a very specific quirk of Dutch grammar and the words we have to work with.

[totally-cis-offical]

What term does Dutch use for the discard pile in card games?

[demilypyro]

That's the aflegstapel ("stack to lay things down on") which is also a compound word but since you're not laying the cards down here and rather just deleting the cards entirely because videogame I'm not surprised they didn't go for that since it has different connotations

Every Dutch word that's longer than two syllables is basically a Germanic kanji

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.

[aetherograph]

Media for children used to have sensuality--not just fear, but also a sort of fleshiness, a wide breadth of sensations. There was weird surreal stuff that may have been Nightmare Fuel or may have been Fetish Fuel, depending on who was watching it. Women had boobs and jiggly parts, not just smooth barbie doll curves. Bad things happened. Scary things happened. WEIRD things happened. People got tied up, or fell in goop, or transformed into animals, or blew up like a balloon, or a thousand other things that, once the mainstream became aware could be someone's fetish (despite none of that being inherently sexual--the whole point of a fetish is that it's having sexual feelings for something that isn't sex), they freaked 0ut and stopped including. Which severely hampered the story and made it boring and empty of humanity. Humans are made of meat. Art needs to be made of meat also.

The puritanical panic will and has destroyed art. Until you let the fuck go of it, you won't make good art. We are in a second Victorian era where all stories have to have a Moral Lesson and it's fucked up. Let art be for arts sake. Stop with this fash bullshit.

Except this feeds exactly into the original post: Hazbin Hotel is not for children! It's for adults who like cartoons! And at the same time, it's the right kind of comfortably scary to attract children, plus it's a cartoon, so kids want to watch it, and adults who don't know what it is let them! If children's media were still allowed to be a little frightening when it needed to be, they wouldn't be as attracted to things like the Hellaverse!

When I was a kid, I had the Care Bears (they lost), Rainbow Brite (child slavery), and My Little Pony (they fought the devil). I didn't need to watch Wizards when my Mom put it on the VCR. Adult animation isn't to blame for the current trends in children's entertainment, and children aren't to blame for wanting to see a bad dude get stabbed to death by a tiny woman with a cockroach fetish!

[jayalaw]

I don’t know, the children’s media I see can still be scary. Dead End: Paranormal Park has a lot of supernatural horror and mundane ones. The Gravity Falls veterans have consistently put out shows with Nightmare Fuel: The Owl House, Amphibia, The Ghost and Molly McGee. I have to check the rating on Haunted Hotel, since only one episode talks explicitly about sex. Heck, even Dogs in Space has an entire episode where Loaf of all the dogs has to handle a hostage situation solo.

Sensuality is harder for me to gauge, and I’m trying to become more aware of it. I’m also trying to not give fears to kids by accident since their parents would blame me forever. Baby nephew’s mom vetoed reading Orion and the Dark to him since he has enough trouble sleeping already without being scared of nighttime. I can’t exactly argue with that logic even if the book is funny for the most part.

Maybe it’s a matter of access? That if we make the scary children’s media more available then we can introduce those horrors?

[bodhrancomedy]

OP here, Hazbin is absolutely not what I’m talking about. It’s not for children and I don’t think it tackles any scary concepts in a way that’s actually appropriate for kids.

I don’t think it’s the end of the world if a kid does watch it, I’m not for censorship as I hope you can tell, BUT IT IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE KIND OF WRITING TO INTRODUCE CHILDREN TO SCARY SUBJECTS.

It’s written for adults and with that has the assumption anyone watching is mature enough to parse through the jokes and sarcasm surrounding its handling of topics like rape, sexual assault, murder, alcoholism, etc.

I haven’t seen any Dead End, so I can’t speak on it, but I have seen a lot of Owl House. It’s definitely a really good kid show and handles lots of topics really well, but I’d still consider it very tame when compared to the horror that was prevalent in media from the 80s-2000s. It’s still very watered down and ‘safe’. There’s a lack of willingness (likely Disney rather than the creators) to let go of the viewer’s hands.

I think a lot of people are also focusing on animation and I see why, but I was thinking more about live-action and things which are specifically horror designed for children.

I’m currently a bit scattered so this isn’t well worded, but I’m thinking more along the lines of:

Half of these aren’t scenes that ‘have to’ go as far as they did - but they did. It’s vaccine for horror.

there should be a term for characters you personally don't care about but you defend them anyways because the way people treat them is really uncomfortable. like ok this is a very middle-of-the-road character for me but the fandom's either been super misogynistic, racist, etc. about them or harassed innocent people who try to genuinely explore that character warts and all, and i find that more annoying than the actual character.
