  • The biggest problem is that workers generally dont hold those rights, the people they contract with do.

    These laws aren’t protecting workers, they’re protecting corporations, they’re protecting capital. Unless that changes, IP laws are so broken there’s no point in honoring them except to avoid punishment.

    Its basically better to go around them and support workers directly than to try and give them a pittance through their taskmasters.













  • He got jealous over more than just Paris, it’s just none of the other ones were main characters. He also got paranoid and jealous because she knew which deck some male crew members rooms were on.

    His jealousy was a flaw, but it’s the flaws are what make characters interesting. It doesn’t always make them likeable, but it certainly makes them more real. If he was perfect he’d be everything OP was claiming he was. Instead he was a much more real and deep character. His character also evolved over time to be less jealous and guarded as he came to trust his fellow crew members, including Paris. If he didn’t have those characteristics he’d be little more than a background character.

    Those flaws aren’t the problem of bad writing, they’re a problem of good writing.

  • If we’re going to keep bringing up a literal age of the Ocampa as though it’s some gotcha we should also mention they never reach an age we’d consider adult. Most of them die before they even become teens.

    We could blame the writers, or we could blame the puritanical mouth breathers who’d rather virtue signal their disgust at the mere concept of pedophilia rather than over the very real problems of child abuse and rape.
