"Woman" is hilarious to define as an agenda - like there's no clarification required to toss half of humanity under the bus. So I watched the video (I don't know Coney, but it's just him making fun of this insane preacher) and it's essentially that bad. The preacher says, and I quote, "She's headstrong and stubborn, constantly arguing with Ash. Typical woman" then laughs and apologizes but never says anything else about her. The mental athletics involved in the preacher's conclusions would make him a master of any gym.

Woman: exists

Right-winger: Why do you have to make it political?

The so called majority has always been a minority. The majority of people are explicitly denigrated by conservatives in every society and culture, yet the supposedly superior group seems to think they represent most people.

There’s nothing more offensive to people like that than a woman who, y’know, is a person

Coney is most famous for commentating tournaments in the super smash bros games but he's generally in the Nintendo fan base in the US

edit: I get that you probably don't give a damn but I did at one point in my life

Thanks mate, I don't follow that community myself but I am pretty sure I've seen his face before. The video was entertaining.

Oh, but we have nothing to say about Togepi?

TOGEPI?!

The little ball of anarchy and treachery who will use Metronome and sheer cuteness to make your life a living hell?!

The other four are fine. But that egg shoulda been hardboiled.

I was so massively disappointed when it evolved and just kept getting less cute...

Togepi goes from "cute" to "Arceus' afterbirth" to "absolutely fabulous".

I call it "the Feebas cycle".

Brock could be surrounded by attractive, horny women trying to get in his pants and he would be totally oblivious to it while he cooked them all dinner.

And how could any of them be atheists? They literally meet God in one of the movies. /s

I'll admit its been good 20s years since I watched pokemon, but doesn't Brock hit on every single police officer and nurse in every town?

I recall him losing his mind over them but never actually being suave enough to do anything but fall over.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

He goes gaga for them and flops everytime.

Just because you've met gods is no reason to go around believing in them. It only encourages 'em.
