00:00.18 | DrodoEmpire | Which? |
00:00.32 | Quark8 | The short story. |
00:02.23 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
00:02.51 | DrodoEmpire | Its basically a short story about a battle between Halifaxian forces and another power in the Drodo territories |
00:04.26 | Quark8 | Interesting. Is it one already listed on the Drodo Territories page (the Kingdom of Barangin or the Grand Duchy of Thurinal), or another power? |
00:04.32 | Wormy_away | well this is cool https://www.ventusky.com/?p=29.1;-72.0;5&l=temperature |
00:05.40 | Kabloey | did you guys ever use a reference (from another media, like videogames and/or TV shows) for your fiction and/or characters? |
00:05.56 | DrodoEmpire | Quark8: Yeah |
00:06.01 | DrodoEmpire | Its against the Grand Duchy |
00:06.09 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah sure Kabloey |
00:06.19 | DrodoEmpire | I prefer to avoid it but there's no problem inherent with that |
00:06.25 | Quark8 | Okay. What is the Grand Duchy like? |
00:06.34 | DrodoEmpire | I figured something like Austria |
00:06.53 | DrodoEmpire | I do, however, make many historical references with my fiction Kabloey |
00:07.11 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy_away: Yeah I saw that earlier |
00:07.18 | Quark8 | Ah. DO you mean something like Habsburg Austria? |
00:07.21 | Quark8 | *Do |
00:07.42 | DrodoEmpire | Yep |
00:07.59 | Quark8 | Cool. |
00:09.01 | Quark8 | What are the relationships between the various Drodo powers (aside from the Halifaxia/Thurinal war)? |
00:09.13 | DrodoEmpire | Not sure yet |
00:09.36 | DrodoEmpire | Also I should note that this short story takes place about ten years ago |
00:09.51 | Quark8 | ~ 23 NA, then. |
00:10.18 | Quark8 | How do the Drodo generally react with outside powers? |
00:11.28 | DrodoEmpire | The Territories themselves are pretty isolated, so its not often a subject that comes up |
00:11.39 | DrodoEmpire | Generally with a mutual suspicion or hostility |
00:11.47 | DrodoEmpire | Or rather, a unified feeling of it |
00:12.24 | Quark8 | I see. |
00:12.27 | DrodoEmpire | Halifaxia is the one power in the Territories that more or less actively pursue trade relations and colonial ambitions |
00:12.56 | DrodoEmpire | That a couple of others do outside trade, but Halifaxia's the largest in that respect |
00:13.25 | DrodoEmpire | *That and a couple of others |
00:17.05 | Quark8 | Ah. |
00:21.13 | Quark8 | Bbs. |
00:38.44 | Monet | goodnight |
01:00.14 | Quark_EUIV | Well. My Austria game got interesting. |
01:02.44 | Quark_EUIV | It's 1630-something, and my ally Savoy got into a war with France and dragged me into it. I'm a co-belligerent, so now Bavaria and Spain are fighting France as well. |
01:03.47 | Quark_EUIV | Were my allies not in the war, I would likely be screwed. |
01:08.37 | DrodoEmpire | Oh ouch |
01:09.57 | Quark_EUIV | I currently have 0 manpower, which sucks. |
01:10.12 | DrodoEmpire | >.< |
01:22.33 | DrodoEmpire | Hm |

01:23.44 | DrodoEmpire | There's an airsofting organisation in my province, seems pretty big, pretty cool |

01:39.01 | Quark8 | Crap. Spain and Bavaria peaced out of the war, and now it's just me and Savoy against the juggernaut of France. |
01:41.44 | Quark_EUIV | DrodoEmpire: Sounds interesting. |
01:41.55 | DrodoEmpire | I think so, I guess |

02:32.35 | DrodoEmpire | Like within cities? |
02:32.40 | The_Randomness | Nope |
02:32.50 | The_Randomness | So, on a tile, you can either have a district, or an improvement |
02:32.54 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
02:33.00 | The_Randomness | You can put certain buildings within districts |
02:33.18 | The_Randomness | But, your main city doesn't have all the buildings like in previous games |
02:33.27 | The_Randomness | They're all in districts now |
02:33.58 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh cool |
02:34.23 | The_Randomness | This is the video I'm watching btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q9fAlfEh6I |
02:35.06 | The_Randomness | Also, depending on how many buildings are in the district, you can put multiple citizens in it to further increase its production of whatever |
02:36.10 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
02:39.05 | The_Randomness | The game looks gorgeous though |
02:56.21 | DrodoEmpire | Looks pretty stylised |

15:43.21 | Hachiman | Because if we leave this location, we fucking die |
15:43.37 | OluapPlayer | Ping me when we can rp |
15:43.38 | ImpyDroid | People actually suffer because of it |
15:43.52 | ImpyDroid | You can leave, actually |
15:44.05 | ImpyDroid | Just not into a timeline beyond your age |
15:44.12 | Hachiman | Right |
15:44.19 | ImpyDroid | So if you use loops to get into 2016 from 194e |
15:44.21 | ImpyDroid | *1943 |
15:44.33 | ImpyDroid | If you are from that time, you die instantly |
15:44.45 | Hachiman | I'm also not fond of Tim Burton's latest works because they just seem so |
15:44.54 | ImpyDroid | You can move around 1943 |
15:44.58 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: Big Eyes? |
15:45.02 | ImpyDroid | Big Eyes were great |
15:45.09 | Hachiman | Didn't see that one |
15:45.18 | ImpyDroid | The Alices sucked |
15:45.28 | Hachiman | I dunno what to say, they just seem so needlessly and unnecessarily eccentric and weird |
15:45.32 | ImpyDroid | But there was that one in between them that was good |
15:46.04 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: This one has actually toned out the weirdness |
15:46.25 | ImpyDroid | And then there is, well, Big Eyes, which has zero weirdness |
15:46.43 | ImpyDroid | Despite the name oddly enough |
15:47.21 | ImpyDroid | This one has a creepy aesthetic but the weirdness is toned down |
15:47.34 | ImpyDroid | I comparison to say Charlie or Alice |
15:47.42 | ImpyDroid | First of all much less weird makeup |
15:47.49 | ImpyDroid | *there is |
15:47.54 | Monet | Eccentric and wierd is his thing, but that might be the issue |
15:47.58 | ImpyDroid | *In comparison |
15:48.09 | ImpyDroid | Monet: I think that was one of the reasons he made Big Eyes |
15:48.23 | ImpyDroid | Big Eyes is a Burton movie without the Burton-ness |
15:48.27 | ImpyDroid | But still extremely good |
15:48.45 | Hachiman | I'm not off-put by eccentric and weird, but with Burton it just seems so excessive and unnecessary |
15:49.13 | Hachiman | To the point it's not even weird anymore when it comes to Burton |
15:49.30 | ImpyDroid | As I said this movie had it toned down |
15:49.41 | *** join/#sporewiki Treebeard (52068dfd@gateway/web/freenode/ip.82.6.141.253) |
15:49.57 | ImpyDroid | But yeah it became a cliché |
15:50.05 | ImpyDroid | Which is why Alice sucked |
15:50.15 | Hachiman | It's like, I watch Nightmare Before Christmas and then it feels like I've watched almost every other Burton film |
15:50.42 | ImpyDroid | OluapPlaying: You OUGHT to see that movie though |
15:50.57 | ImpyDroid | There is one scene that will make you love it |
15:51.05 | Hachiman | Does it involve a succubus |
15:51.14 | ImpyDroid | It involves skeletons |
15:51.30 | ImpyDroid | Is it okay if I spoil |
15:51.53 | Hachiman | I'm not gonna watch it so go ahead |
15:52.29 | ImpyDroid | So one guy has the ability to animate dolls and the like |
15:52.44 | ImpyDroid | Closer to the finale he animates an entire army of skeleton props |
15:52.51 | ImpyDroid | Skeletons vs fucking Slendermen |
15:52.57 | ImpyDroid | That scene was Kingsman-level |
15:53.02 | Monet | So it might be people don't like it because it's not fresh. It's nothing new. |
15:53.16 | ImpyDroid | It is not as dark though |
15:53.22 | ImpyDroid | It has ridiculously fun moments |
15:53.42 | ImpyDroid | Silly Samuel Jackson |
15:53.54 | ImpyDroid | L. Jackson even |
15:54.02 | ImpyDroid | Stupid Europeans with their double names |
15:54.04 | Hachiman | School for magically gifted people who do not fit in with normal society |
15:54.18 | ImpyDroid | NO |
15:54.36 | ImpyDroid | I was on the same train of thought when I came to the movie |
15:54.47 | ImpyDroid | And hell no it is nothing like X-Men |
15:54.56 | ImpyDroid | The main difference is that the kids are not fucking superheroes |
15:55.01 | Hachiman | I was more referring to Harry Potter but X-Men also came to mind |
15:55.06 | Monet | Miss Peregrine's home does look like Xavier's school for gifted children though |
15:55.14 | ImpyDroid | There is very little conventional blockbuster action |
15:55.21 | Monet | Maybe with a touch of Tracy Beaker? |
15:55.22 | ImpyDroid | Hell that is why I liked it |
15:55.29 | Hachiman | >Tracy Beaker |
15:55.31 | ImpyDroid | All action that there is is genuinely unique |
15:55.35 | Hachiman | God I hoped to forget about that |
15:55.53 | ImpyDroid | Awesome scenes are very cleverly made and are not very straightforward |
15:56.29 | Monet | ImpyDroid: We're not talking Xmen in terms of cinema. We're talking Xmen i nterms of themes |
15:57.23 | ImpyDroid | The main theme is pretty meh yeah |
15:57.37 | ImpyDroid | Not because it is in X-Men, but because it is everywhere |
15:57.45 | ImpyDroid | The tolerance theme is kind of cliché now |
15:58.02 | ImpyDroid | I mean Dawn of the Planet of the Apes did it justice |
15:58.03 | Hachiman | Yeah, needs more themes of intolerance in cinema now; where's my Innsmouth film |
15:58.07 | ImpyDroid | Zootopia did |
15:58.30 | ImpyDroid | This one kind of skimmed through it |
16:00.33 | Hachiman | Granted, it is really hard to come up with something creative nowadays without aspects of your work being compared to other products |
16:00.52 | Hachiman | which is why you borrow and steal whenever there's nothing new under the sun |
16:01.12 | Hachiman | Collage is equally as creative as an individual piece |

20:34.58 | Xho | nom |
20:36.32 | Hachiman | >not knowing Leif Erikson |
20:36.35 | Imperios | Monet: https://2ch.hk/po/src/18685102/14760165724020.jpg |
20:36.36 | Hachiman | shit son where u been |
20:37.36 | Monet | Imperios: Humans need some form of leadership. It's a proven fact. |
20:37.37 | DrodoEmpire | Imperios: Aristocracy isn't rule by the rich |
20:37.41 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
20:37.58 | DrodoEmpire | Its rule by the blue-blooded, most commonly |
20:38.09 | DrodoEmpire | Who can in fact be impoverished or far from the wealthiest class |
20:38.29 | DrodoEmpire | It also often works in tandem with monarchy |
20:38.31 | Imperios | Monet: https://2ch.hk/po/src/18689866/14760403851120.jpg |
20:38.43 | Monet | There are plenty of impoverished lords and ladies here in the UK |
20:39.44 | DrodoEmpire | Also a Republic is any government where the highest office in the land is elected, which I contend is a broader thing than democracy |
20:39.51 | DrodoEmpire | (perhaps the other way around) |
20:40.20 | DrodoEmpire | Though I guess they *are* different |
20:40.25 | Monet | Imperios: That picture reminds me of how the president of Venuzuela created a peace prize and awarded it to Putin. |
20:41.34 | Hachiman | Putin is keeping peace |
20:41.52 | Hachiman | There have been no world wars or cold wars since Putin has been in office |
20:43.26 | DrodoEmpire | There have also been no world or cold wars since Hurricane Katrina |
20:43.27 | DrodoEmpire | Therefore |
20:43.36 | DrodoEmpire | Hurricane Katrina is keeping peace <.< |
20:43.45 | DrodoEmpire | (your logic >.>) |
20:43.52 | Monet | True but under Putin Russia did invade Georgia, Ukraine and is currently bombing rebels in Syria. |
20:44.14 | DrodoEmpire | I think there's been a lot of tension, though |
20:44.20 | Imperios | Well |
20:44.21 | DrodoEmpire | I mean yeah Putin's been awful bold |
20:44.29 | Imperios | We are not more militant than, say, the US |
20:44.35 | Imperios | THe only difference is that we are more stupid |
20:44.38 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
20:44.41 | DrodoEmpire | Fair enough |
20:46.01 | Imperios | But yes our news spokesmen say stuff like |
20:46.12 | Imperios | RUSSIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY CAPABLE OF REDUCING THE UNITED STATES TO RADIOACTIVE DUST |
20:46.47 | Imperios | ^ They actually said that |

20:53.18 | Imperios | That was a show of Russia's anti-nuclear defense system |
20:53.48 | Imperios | It is basically automated |
20:53.58 | Imperios | Moscow's nuked -> SEND BOMBS EVERYWHERE |
20:54.26 | DrodoEmpire | allahy blyatbar <.< |
20:54.32 | DrodoEmpire | *allahu |
20:58.41 | Monet | You guys are more militant |
20:58.55 | Imperios | Well, it is hard to be more militant than America |
20:58.57 | Imperios | But we are trying |
20:59.21 | Imperios | The difference is that in the US, the populace opposes military intervention, but is powerless to change anything |
20:59.41 | Imperios | In Russia, the populace is even more powerless, but is FOR war and imperialism |
21:00.46 | Imperios | Monet DrodoEmpire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JjQNMD9rqk I will remind you |
21:00.53 | Imperios | This is a legitimate news spokesman |

22:08.41 | Imperios | In Russian Finns are stereotyped as speaking very slowly |
22:08.49 | Imperios | So I imagine all this with a slowed down, stilted voice |
22:09.44 | OluapPlayer | bepis |
22:19.25 | Imperios | Monet: About Russia being militarist. It kind of struck me that many Russian nationalists, especially those who are not concerned with race, kind of do not care about what kind of regime Russia has, as long as it is conquering people |
22:19.29 | Imperios | And remains stable |
22:19.55 | Imperios | Like, they praise BOTH the Russian Empire and the USSR - but the latter only after Stalin took charge |
22:20.18 | Imperios | Lenin is despised because he brought down the Russian Empire, but so is Gorbachev |
22:20.41 | Imperios | Because both dismantled the *current* conquering Russian state |
22:20.42 | Monet | It sounds like they saw Reagan's accusations of Russia being an "evil empire" as a compliment. |
22:20.52 | Imperios | Hell, it kind of is, it is used in Russia still |
22:20.54 | Imperios | Albeit ironically |
22:21.09 | Imperios | We kind of turned it on America, whom we call "empire of good" |
22:21.14 | Imperios | In an ironic sense |
22:21.24 | Monet | That is clever |
22:21.47 | Monet | I suppose its kind of like hoe Margaret Thatcher took "Iron Lady" as a compliment |
22:22.29 | Imperios | Monet: http://chronopus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/poster35.jpg Good ol' anti-American propaganda |
22:22.40 | Imperios | "The American Liberty" |
22:23.09 | Imperios | Kind of interesting how none of the things depicted here are made up |
22:23.40 | DrodoEmpire_ | Propaganda's rarely made up of complete lies |
22:23.48 | DrodoEmpire_ | Half-truths and exaggerations, however |
22:23.48 | Imperios | The judge and the police squashing dissent are supposed to represent the Red Scare |
22:24.57 | Imperios | one thing changed though |
22:25.06 | Imperios | The USSR criticised the West for being racist |
22:25.20 | Imperios | Modern Russia criticises the West for being too tolerant |
22:25.26 | Imperios | How the tables have turned |
22:26.09 | DrodoEmpire_ | Well, its no secret that the formerly communist states have reacted in the other direction by becoming more conservative |
22:27.16 | Imperios | Monet DrodoEmpirE_: http://nfrq.obuwg4y.nruxmzlkn52xe3tbnqxgg33n.cmle.ru/2jmj7l5rSw0yVb-vlWAYkK-YBwk=dGlwb2xvZy85NzU1NDE2LzEyMTY0MTMvMTIxNjQxM19vcmlnaW5hbC5qcGc ...And that's still applicable |
22:28.36 | Monet | In more modern times conservatism has equated to being happy with being in the past. |
22:29.18 | Imperios | OluapPlayer Monet Hachiman: https://newdaynews.ru/pict/arts1/r89/dop1/08/08/2.jpg Russian nationalists have some... original symbols |
22:29.49 | Monet | So when Russia calling the West "too tolerant" makes some sense. It's probably truer than the way the States paints socialism. |
22:30.05 | OluapPlayer | kayoss |
22:30.22 | Imperios | KILL, FOR THE GLORY OF RUSSIA |
22:30.43 | Imperios | The Russian Imperial black-yellow-white flag is kind of popular |
22:31.01 | Imperios | Monet: Actually, what kind of flags and stuff do Britain First, BNP and other nationalists in your country use? |
22:31.05 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire_: Same question |
22:31.23 | Monet | I think they mainly use the Union Flag. |
22:31.50 | DrodoEmpire_ | Not really any real national parties in Canada |
22:31.56 | DrodoEmpire_ | *nationalist |
22:32.00 | Monet | Or the cross of St. George |
22:32.05 | DrodoEmpire_ | Except in Quebec, with the Bloc Quebecois |
22:32.27 | DrodoEmpire_ | Canada lacks much of a central national identity, really |
22:32.34 | DrodoEmpire_ | Something I've never been very pleased with |
22:33.04 | Imperios | Isn't that common in American countries? |
22:33.08 | Monet | Actually nationalists and racist using St. George as a national icon is a bit stupid isn't it because wasn't St. George from outside Western Europe? |
22:33.55 | DrodoEmpire_ | Not... Not really? |
22:34.06 | Imperios | >St. George |
22:34.13 | Imperios | That's our saint |
22:34.19 | Imperios | gtfo we have him on our coat of arms plz |
22:34.26 | Monet | I swear the story of St. George and the Dragon took place in either Eastern Europe or the Holy Land. |
22:34.43 | Monet | And George was a knight errant |
22:34.44 | DrodoEmpire_ | That's like saying its stupid for Mozambique to have a kalashnikov on their flag and for nationalists to swing the flag proudly because the kalashnikov is a Soviet rifle |
22:34.56 | Imperios | True that |
22:35.00 | DrodoEmpire_ | It remains a strong symbol for the country |
22:35.15 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire_: For the country but perhaps not for the Englishmen as a *race* |
22:35.25 | Imperios | St. George wasn't an Anglo-Saxon or a Celt |
22:35.39 | DrodoEmpire_ | Then its a good thing that nationalists and racists aren't one and the same |
22:35.49 | Imperios | Fair point |
22:35.52 | DrodoEmpire_ | And that the St. George's Cross isn't a "hate symbol" |
22:36.03 | DrodoEmpire_ | (whatever the fuck that limpwristed term means) |
22:36.25 | Monet | Not a hate symbol, the BNP just like using it. |
22:36.28 | Imperios | Actually, now that I think about it |
22:36.43 | DrodoEmpire_ | Right and the BNP were, at least, a very racist party] |
22:36.48 | Imperios | It's a bit weird that Russian nationalists use the Romanov flag as a symbol |
22:36.53 | DrodoEmpire_ | That got their ass kicked in when their ideas were put on display |
22:36.55 | Imperios | Romanovs weren't Slavs |
22:37.05 | Imperios | They were German, and their flag is German in origin |
22:37.26 | Monet | Okay so St. George was a Roman born in Greece who served under Diocletian. |
22:37.42 | Imperios | Well, not the original Romanovs, but they were German by the 19th century, which was when the black yellow white flag was introduced |
22:38.17 | Monet | "The episode of George and the dragon was a legend[25] brought back with the Crusaders and retold with the courtly appurtenances belonging to the genre of chivalric romance." |
22:38.24 | Imperios | Deus Vult yiy |
22:38.38 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire_ Monet: http://66.media.tumblr.com/f2972f5962263746e3ff0a27cf04a505/tumblr_ocmsfkHFwt1vreo2oo1_1280.jpg ...Wow |
22:38.47 | Monet | So like everything English, St. George was borrowed form foreigners. |
22:39.02 | DrodoEmpire_ | Imperios: ...That's actually completely true |
22:39.05 | DrodoEmpire_ | What's the problem? :p |
22:39.13 | Imperios | It misses the point |
22:39.19 | DrodoEmpire_ | ...How? |
22:39.39 | DrodoEmpire_ | Recognising that women are different from men biologically, but that they should be equal under the law is a perfectly respectable statement |
22:39.59 | Imperios | You know how in 1984, it is mentioned that the Party twisted the meaning of the word "equality" to mean just physical equality, making it impossible to say that all men are equal |
22:40.01 | Imperios | ? |
22:40.05 | Imperios | I see same kind of logic here |
22:40.14 | Imperios | She's mixing legal equality and biological equality |
22:40.16 | Imperios | Which is beyond stupid |
22:40.19 | DrodoEmpire_ | Uhh |
22:40.20 | Monet | Reading back up on the legend |
22:40.22 | Imperios | Guess what, noone is equal |
22:40.27 | DrodoEmpire_ | What the fuck does "biological equality" mean |
22:40.42 | Imperios | Physical equality, my bad |
22:40.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | Here's the thing |
22:40.50 | Imperios | As in "my shoes are equal in size" |
22:41.11 | Imperios | Thing is, biological inequality should have nothing to do with legal equality |
22:41.14 | DrodoEmpire_ | Southern's point is that legal equality is the only one that can be fairly made |
22:41.20 | Imperios | So I do not see how the two concepts can be muddled up |
22:41.37 | Monet | St. George travelled to a village in Libya where the villagers appeased the dragon by bringing it a sheep, or, if there are no sheep, a virgin maiden. |
22:41.48 | Imperios | >bringing it a sheep, or, if there are no sheep, a virgin maiden. |
22:41.51 | DrodoEmpire_ | And that societal equality or "physical" equality can't... can't *really* be changed by deliberate action, I suppose |
22:41.51 | Imperios | So... a Welsh dragon? |
22:42.00 | DrodoEmpire_ | Not without bad consequenceas |
22:42.08 | Monet | Imperios: Lol. |
22:42.18 | DrodoEmpire_ | Disregarding the fact that most of these inequalities are percieved and not statistically real |
22:42.19 | Imperios | Well, legal equality is nil without some degree of cultural equality |
22:42.21 | Hachiman | I honestly don't like when people pander and say "women can do everything men can" |
22:42.25 | Imperios | ^ that too |
22:42.30 | Hachiman | Like yeah they can, but men happen to be more efficient at physical labour |
22:42.34 | Imperios | See I am criticising a woman now |
22:42.34 | DrodoEmpire_ | Right |
22:42.42 | Imperios | See I treat her as an equal |
22:42.47 | Monet | It's kind of curious how the villagers went "right, we've run out of sheep, let's start giving him little girls" |
22:42.48 | Imperios | Everyone can be criticised |
22:42.55 | Hachiman | And men are not as efficient, I dunno, giving birth as women are |
22:43.02 | Imperios | Hachiman: Physical endurance |
22:43.09 | Imperios | And resisitance to disease |
22:43.36 | Hachiman | I'm not going into this because this implies all women are more resistant to disease and are as equally durable |
22:43.45 | DrodoEmpire_ | I think cultural equality is a prerequisite for legal equality- an Islamic country won't treat both sexes equally for example |
22:43.45 | Imperios | Well |
22:43.58 | Imperios | They are more resisitant to disease in the same way as men are stronger |
22:43.59 | Imperios | duh |
22:44.15 | DrodoEmpire_ | And won't legislate so that they are legally equal |
22:44.22 | Imperios | Statistical biologically enforced difference that developed due to evolutional necessities |
22:44.31 | Imperios | Men can die after they mate |
22:44.34 | Imperios | Women have to survive for longer |
22:44.40 | DrodoEmpire_ | But that doesn't mean its exactly a good idea to then try to engineer the culture and drag it in to the 21st century |
22:44.44 | Imperios | Men are, from the evolutionary point of view, expendable |
22:44.56 | Imperios | Mother used to work with newborns: generally, girls survived in the same conditions where boys died |
22:45.43 | Monet | So as proud as we are of our penises, we're the ones who are more disposable. |
22:45.57 | DrodoEmpire_ | That'll result in a lot of very collectivist initiatives that will victimise a *lot* of people, men and women, will inflame cultural, political, and religious tensions, and so on |
22:46.19 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire: And the other way around too |
22:46.19 | DrodoEmpire_ | Change has to be gradual and from the inside culturally |
22:46.25 | Imperios | legal equality is nil witohut cultural equality |
22:46.44 | Monet | Psychologically speaking Impy has some point: Men are somewhat built to want many women. But women get jealous when a man is doing it with more than just her. |
22:46.44 | DrodoEmpire_ | Before we can then introduce legal equality |
22:46.50 | Imperios | Because otherwise discrimination and abuse outside of the legal system will kick in |
22:46.58 | DrodoEmpire_ | But, ultimately, legal equality will enforce cultural equality |
22:46.59 | Imperios | Monet: That too |
22:47.11 | DrodoEmpire_ | Once both are in place |
22:47.29 | Monet | It's the great paradox: Man wants many women, but woman gets bitchy when man sleeps with other women. |
