No: “You Have To Be X To Write About X.”

Do you think the handwringing over Zelda changing back at the end of TOTK is rooted in the idea of "dying for a cause" or the obsession with punitive media? As in, a character who undertakes a drastic action like sacrifice MUST face consequences (i.e., death or similar punishment) in order for it to have impact or meaning? Essentially killing off Zelda would have been a disservice to her after all the development she went through and all the people she befriended post-BOTW, especially considering she avoided "inheriting a kingdom of nothing" like her father warned her. It would have been an emotionally vacant and cruel ending for her.

I think not only the obsession with punitive media (although why they might think Zelda would deserve to be punished is beyond me), but the glorification, in literary circles, of tragedy and suffering, and the corresponding conviction that hope is naive and unqualified happy endings for immature audiences. Victory, in this view, must always come at a steep price, and any remuneration of losses suffered makes the price not steep enough.

Throwback to all these Jesus comics I drew in 2012…

zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that "um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn't real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species..." um YES? that's also where tool use comes from? that's where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren't "real" because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?
