Me: "I don't have enough context to know if this is bad or not."
SE: "Okay, we'll just count that as 1/4th awful then"

Yuuki

9:12 PM

I guess it's to count for the flag being brought up in the first place.

Like whether you don't think you have the context or you don't care, someone still raised in a flag in the first place so at least one person thinks it's awful.

Dragonrage

@Yuuki its an invalid vote, not a valid vote. so if 4 people say not sure, the system says it probably wasnt offensive

Yuuki

Oh, never mind then.

I was just going off what @Sterno said.

Sterno

I read that wrong

Dragonrage

A: What does the "Not Sure" chat flag response do?

The "Not Sure" flag response counts for approximately 1/5 of a flag: The "meh" votes are taken into account with a ratio of 1:5 (and rounded downwards); in other words, for every five people doing nothing with the flag, we deduct one from the net count. -- balpha The 'net count' in context...

apparently it was .20 of a flag

Sterno

9:32 PM

New Darkest Dungeon DLC tomorrow \o/

Ronan

@Yuuki I think that's the point

Yuuki

@Ronan I'm also feeling rather nebulous on this conspiracy thing (if it's real).

Ronan

@Yuuki Wait did you catch up already?

Yuuki

Hmm, maybe I didn't say that right.

Okay, I just feel like it's a bit of a cop-out to have a super secret illuminati-esque conspiracy.

Ronan

Oh yeah

I'll have to see how it pays off

Yuuki

9:41 PM

Like, it just paints a big arrow of "THESE ARE THE BAD GUYS AS NEBULOUS AS THEY ARE" when I felt like the series was doing a much better job of writing a story where there's no clear bad guy and not really evil people.

I think it would be interesting if the conspiracy doesn't actually exist.

Sterno

What is SFP?

Yuuki

I mean, this series has been doing a pretty good job of touching on something I've recently been made aware has been an underlying problematic theme of superhero media.

@Sterno It's a webcomic and it's short for the actual title, which is "Strong Female Protagonist".

Wipqozn

ARTORIAS IS DEAD

THAT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I'VE EVER HAD TO DO

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn are you playing xcom again?

Wipqozn

9:45 PM

@Dragonrage No, Dark Souls. Doing a SL1 run.

Dragonrage

oh, good. then only you die and not the rest of us

Wipqozn

That took me 2 hours

only half the video has uploaded so far though

Dragonrage

Imagine dark souls, but the enemies you face are all of your squad members you killed @Wipqozn

Ronan

@Yuuki What in particular?

Yuuki

@Ronan Well, it's getting close not so much as actually discussing but the superhero media has this weird relationship with quasi-fascist, "might makes right" ideals.

Ronan

9:51 PM

That's actively dealt with later in the story

Yuuki

@Ronan Are you talking about the Moonshadow arc?

I do like that Civil War got rather close to confronting that issue, but then it got diverted into Steve and Bucky and Tony drama. But then again, we shouldn't be looking for answers in movies.

So I guess it bringing up the question is pretty good in and of itself.

Ronan

@Yuuki No, somewhere is issue 6, I can't find it right now though

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki the genre in particular is "govt is bad at stopping crimes, we need literal supermen to make the decisions instead"

Yuuki

Side note, I actually really liked the newest arc with Patrick and delving into the psychological horror that is becoming a powerful telepath at the tender age of like four.

Ronan

Issue 6, page 31

Yuuki

9:58 PM

And it had a line that kinda kept me thinking for a while, about nebulously-defined sociopathy and the definition of humanity.

Wipqozn

10:39 PM

I gotta do manus next

Who will probably be just as hard

He has so much health
