I know these are a product of their time, but yikes
Dang, I can’t agree. Yes, take care of your business, but everyone deserves a vote.
His point is that other priorities exist first which was a common sentiment at the time for poor suffrage vote, it was pretty common to want the wealthy to gain suffrage votes but not the poor.
It’s fucked up yes but given the other positions at the time it’s certainly the lesser evil but not free of sin if that makes sense.
To be a devils advocate, if you replace the word poor with uneducated, we have seen the consequences of those people being manipulated for votes in the current day.
Keeping poor women uneducated probably created a real perception that they were unqualified as voters, and in some cases, that may have been true.
Of course, the way to remedy that is to fund good education for everyone, not restrict people’s right to vote.
Yeah. So far we’ve only seen the True strips where he’s the good guy. They were apparently the minority.
I don’t think they’re necessarily the minority (maybe, but I’d need to see a bigger sample). I just think that in a hundred year old strip there will be outdated ideas.
I actually like that he’s wrong here. That’s a battle that we as a country won. It’s nice to be reminded that some battles aren’t just some sisyphean task.
I want future generations to look at some of my ideas and think they’re backwards because they’ve progressed so far.
This further reinforces my vision for an Ev True beat em up where you keep kicking asses until you become the baddie and everyone kills you
Is he public domain by now? I feel like this could be a cool 2D retro style in the vein of double dragon, or the konami beat em ups of the 90s in the arcade.
Could easily be handled by a small indy studio looking to make their name. And all the people buying it would be like “OH COOL! But who is this character???” and then they read more into it. And it has all this LORE!!!
Gotta be.
I’m imagining a gameplay loop in the style of River City Ransom. In the campaign you go around thrashing DECREASINGLY objectionable enemies, and eventually you go too far and it becomes a doomed boss rush where the whole town rises up to stop you. Combat would use feedback loop that reinforce an aggressive play style with delightful animations.
Once you’ve played through this once, it unlocks the real endings. You can simply not choose to attack each enemy and you wind up seeing post game story content that reacts to your choices.
Is…is he suggesting that mothers of boys (who at that age will ALWAYS be messy) shouldn’t be able to vote because the boy is not clean 24/7???
Guess it’s easy to judge when there are no childhood photos of you at that age, because cameras hadn’t yet been invented!
Well cameras did exist, just not digital cameras (because modern computers with files didn’t exist)
Ahhh, dear Everett, speaking his truth at all times. Kinda like modern pundits on Musk’s vanity project.
