even "serious" sci-fi shows end up with shit that sounds exactly like this to people who know what they're talking about

this is literally the plot of Super Mario Bros. (1993)

very odd that so many expressions of sexual desire in our society are filtered through the lens of male homosexuality. fujoshi. letterkenny. the straight guys on here whose bit is that they're always posting about sucking dick. it seems like it's Safe Horny. it's sanitized. it's a way to dilute real desire into something "safe" and unproblematic. eventually the contrarian play will be for me to get you pregnant

"but I didnt learn about the usa's wrongs in school 😢 we don't know anything cause they didn't teach us anything 😢" well no one in my school in india told me that our country is a regionally hegemonic war criminal you're just entitled and insultingly uncurious

in fact they told us completely propagandised nonsense about how pre colonial hindu kingdoms were extremely peaceful but were forced to defend themselves against regular invasions solely by muslims. this is something v easily contradicted by the foundational story of ashoka's turn to buddhist dhamma being the brutality of the kalinga war.

the point being made is school, everywhere in the world is a deeply political project and is marshalled for the purpose of nation building. you're not going to hear about the sins of your nation in any serious way at school most anywhere in the world, and expecting that it should have betrays a certain lack of uhh, street smarts. its for children and run by the govt.
