  • I disagree. Look at the time Justin Roiland was accused of false imprisonment, and they replaced Rick and Morty. It went great, the new Rick and Morty sound perfect. Now look at how Marvel dragged their feet on replacing Jonathan Majors and eventually decided to just ignore all their Kang foreshadowing and replace him with Dr Doom. It sucks, they should have just recast him.

    Recasting allows newer and less well known actors to break into an entertainment industry dominated by sequels, adaptations, and franchises. They reduce the capital held by big time actors who are already far too rich. Recasting is good.



  • I’m engaged in what B F Skinner called operant conditioning. It’s such a simple psychological effect, it works on all manner of animals. When an animal does something you don’t want, you do something the animal doesn’t want. Then the animal does it less. When someone platforms the idea that we’re all supposed to hate “sociopaths”, I create a pointless, annoying, and frustrating argument that pisses everyone off. Then people do it less. It doesn’t matter if I change anyone’s beliefs, this technique changes habits.







  • I’ve met sociopaths and at least 2 psychopaths

    Psychopathy is Greek for “mental illness”. I’ve met sociopaths with autism, and every one of them was definitionally a psychopath too. But I’ve also met psychopaths with mental illnesses like depression or PTSD, who were not sociopaths. I’m pretty sure every sociopath is also a psychopath. And if you’ve only ever met 2 mentally ill people, you are definitely not an expert on psychopathy and you shouldn’t be spreading misinformation on the internet.
