  • I think I kinda get you, but also I think that it’s just kinda the nature of humans to put people on pedestal. I can’t really answer why (and honestly maybe I’m totally wrong, I’m not a social scientist).

    As far as pedestal candidates go, if we had to choose, I’d rank him pretty high. Seems to be a fairly reasonable and ethical guy, pretty smart, willing to listen to experts, loves to learn, self aware, and seems to be pretty ethical. Not as far left as I’d like, but choices are slim lol.
    How much is a facade and how much is truly him? We can never know. If it’s a facade, it’s an excellent one.






  • By the powers of pedantry, I have been summoned!

    That has less to do with longevity compared to casting men as it does their ability to better mimic the higher pitch of children.

    What the heck are you talking about?
    they were saying “that’s why child characters get voiced by women instead of men”, they said “that’s why child characters get voiced by women instead of children
    Because that choice absolutely does have to do with the longevity of the voice.

    That’s a wild way to misunderstand them lol.










  • None of those really “feel like” the things they’re replacing. I don’t really even think that should be the goal. They occupy the same space, though, and the infographic would look stupid if it showed all the options in some category, so they just picked a popular proprietary/centralized one, and a popular federated alternative in the same category. In this case discord is a popular chat app, and the most popular federa chat app afaict is matrix.
