Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind.

Now if we are going to say loaded on steroids = realistic, I guess maybe?  Eternia must have a pharmacy somewhere.

Remember that Schwarzenegger went from "King Bodybuilder" to playing Conan. This means that his approach to bodybuilding still left him with his natural agility.

The point that he makes in his brief but very interesting clip is that extreme bodybuilders can just stumble around. You can pump Teela with "magical elixirs and alchemical cocktails" - just show me she going around like Robocop ::)
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

  Body building and *realism* even when concerning the freedom crushing spawn of a Nazi,  is relative.   They are LOADED with drugs, male and female and nothing they do in so far as muscle mass/size/overall look is realistic at all.  So attempting to say Teela is *realistic* in a warrior woman sense is fucktarded.  Now if we are going to say loaded on steroids = realistic, I guess maybe?  Eternia must have a pharmacy somewhere.
You didn't think they kept Orko around solely for comic relief, right? He's their dealer :)

  Which could be plausible if Teela had been around Orko while she got jacked, but I think she was off doing her own thing during that time.   I guess the years and years of training in the palace under her father didnt catch traction for the GAINZ the way wandering the world with an erratic schedule for training/working/eating did.

   He also dropped significantly regarding his size and muscle mass to play Conan.  As for natural agility...he is agile compared to bodybuilders.   That is what it is.   I agree with him though, that the modern bodybuilders are insane, his generation was more concerned with a classic look instead of mass for its own sake.  His generation also lacked some of the drugs the nuts have now.  Either way, without steroids arnold still is never that big.

Would ya stop saying Netflix is gaslighting? They're lying, plain and simple. Gaslighting is an abuse tactic where an abuser tries to convince someone they're insane.

"Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories."

Netflix is lying and gaslighting (I guess that gaslighting implies lying). I think that this is a case of "perception of reality". Our new design is more realistic! You can take that to the bank!
Okay. I think the word has become overused on social media for deceptive practices generally.

I modeled female muscler-goons on actual muscle-bound women I've seen (and sadly cannot forget) and trends like that stupid half-shaved head look. Not to mention ugly tattoos.

This was a couple of decades ago.

It's disturbing when a dystopian fiction becomes more mainstream and acceptable.

If you think the new "He-Man" is bad, get a load at what they did to She-Ra:

The whole sequence reminded me of an anime version of that animated scene from the second "Brady Bunch" movie. Only without the funny.

  Oh, don't mention 'She-Ra' and the Princesses of P*. You'll be taking your life into your own hands--not from us, but from the fanbase who will not tolerate any hint of criticism of their teen melodrama/representation parade.

Don't forget that it romanticizes abusive relationships and arbitrarily forgives war criminals. The showrunner Noelle Stevenson has a severely fucked up childhood (her parents were homophobic bigots), relationships (her wife cheated on her with a man), and identity issues (she identifies as I'm not sure and had a double breast amputation), which really shows in the cartoon. You should check out the kiwifarms thread for the full horrifying details.

Wow! Thundercats Roar is cringetopia cringe.

  Ordered my son the Thundarr the Barbarian disc set.   He thinks it, and the 80's were amazing.

Golden age 80s and 90s, glad I got to experience almost two whole decades of it. At least old classics like Space Ghost remain untouched. Coast to Coast was alright, but as a kid I got to watch the original ones and honestly there's no comparison to today's cartoons.
