I just finished watching "Three Body (Problem)", a Chinese Sci-Fi tv show that was excellent/okay. The build-up was excellent, one of the best I've seen... the dénouement was... well, not even okay.
To any China experts out there... what was with all the chick stuff? 'Brilliant chick theoretical physicists who could also run experiments???' Right... I mean, they can't do either/or. Chick leaders that inspire their subordinates via their incredible skills... Whatever... I thought that the Chinese were somewhat anti-woke?? I know a lot of chick physicists, including one of the 'four' nobel prize winners (the Canadian chick worked with my ex-girlfriend) , and they're all... dumb as sticks. Like literally stupid to the point that they don't even understand their own research. There are a few exceptions, obviously (Hossenfelder is an excellent pedagogue).
There were a few brief scenes where two men scientists talked, and the series came alive. The whole thing would have been amazing had there been only men (and a better ending).
If even China has fallen, the world is in for a horrible surprise. Hopefully I'll be dead before it happens.
I live in a country with tons of ladyboys, and I can attest that: (a) the hottest chicks are ladyboys; (b) the prettiest chicks are chicks. The ladyboys do a fantastic job, they're just not either irrational or flighty enough to be 100% convincing. Still it's an A-/B+ effort.
But FtM... Okay, I know they're crazy etc... but what's the point? But FtMs are:
- weak
- stupid
- they don't get camaraderie
- they don't get the autistic joys of spending 8 hours fishing
- they don't love physical exertion
- they don't love nature and silence
- they don't get that dogs are animals, and should be treated as such
- they can't do super-insulting bantz with random men (I'm talking to you, you god-damned LSU fans)
you know... etc. They literally get nothing right about being men. Nothing!
I mean -- I can vaguely understand turning boys into girls, because hey, some guys really are very, very faggy. But girls into boys? That's just an abomination.
