Yeah, by being born the gender he is living as. If you think about it, its kind of insulting to trans people for people to hail him as something he isnt.
I think old Arbiter fizzled away. When The Jailer pulls the key from its chest you see it unravel and fade away as the camera pans away.
If you watch the cinematic where the Jailer gets the Arbiterâs key orb doodad youâll see the old Arbiter kind of just unravel into anima and vanish.
Whether this means she died or not I dunno, just that she unraveled into strands of anima on an orb that nipple man jammed into his chest
I donât know if itâs quite transgender (donât cancel me or lynch me or whatever) but Pelagos, when they were alive, was a woman. Then when they died and got a new body in Bastion it was a male body and Pelagos felt right with that.
I get the sense that isnât the reason. I think they just ran out of time to tell a story and figured making a minor character the arbiter would be some kind of shocking twist.
Same. Especially when they say âfascistâ âSexistâ âxyz-phobeâ âbigotâ âracistâ âconspiracy theoristâ âRepublicanâ âhickâ âincelâ ânationalistâ âhatemongerâ.
Buzzwords make idiots very easy to pinpoint because itâs almost a clear indicator they have no idea what theyâre talking about on either side. However âwokeâ was the term the people ascribed with it chose for themselves. Theyâre just upset people have turned their âit means Iâm awoken and therefore enlightenedâ buzzword into a pejorative against them by being insufferable to most people to the right of Marx.
Yeah, shouldnât we, the maw walker, be the one who becomes arbiter. We literally did all the leg work, united the covenants and defeated the big baddies.
Oh I completely agree. Both sides (there are more than two sides) have their buzz words that let me know who I am engaging. I want them to continue to do this, it makes it easier to zone them out.
Yeah but Blizzard realized if they just ignored Pelagos like they were presently doing people would get mad when they realized the character only existed to get nominated for a GLAAD award because âmuh representation.â
They canât be too obvious now, even these fools will smell something is amiss after a certain point.
I prefer to engage with them. Itâs funny watching them flounder about aimlessly on either side since when you back them into a corner they just start foaming at the mouth and acting like children.
Itâs kind of like when you have a longwinded argument with a religious zealot. When they are met with something they are mentally incapable of refuting they just start kicking and screaming. That to me is the real identifier of someone who never reasoned themselves to their conclusions and just accepted a narrative from others.
People who reason themselves into beliefs can at least give some measure of defense consistent with their internal logic, even if itâs stupid you can at least understand how they arrive to their conclusion and see some measure of consistency, or a genuine thought when you point out an inconsistency. These people on the other hand can whole two completely contradictory beliefs but do not notice it. We call this âcognitive dissonanceâ and itâs usually only a thing to people that are either too stupid to understand their own thoughts, or theyâre just taking talking points as fact and regurgitating them.
As Iâve said before, in math classes you used to get marked as wrong on questions you got right if you couldnât show your work.
