You don't understand it because you can't into basic psychology. It's basically "fake it till you make it". External changes reinforce and sustain attitudes. Power posturing, buying a new expensive suit, making an effort to smile more. It's scientifically proven that smiling more will change how your brain works and consequently your outlook on life.

They really should change that to "sincerely smiling more" or "smiling while having happy thoughts". The act of smiling in and of itself does nothing without sincere thoughts and emotions that relate happiness. People in customer service fields smile constantly and end up committing suicide.

How is this even a semi-popular cartoon moral? Did every kid who ever stole milk money and wore those felt Jughead crowns all grow up to write mediocre children's shows? Are juvenile delinquents really that organized to be systematically enabling themselves through literal propaganda?

>>92980923
This one. Especially when the protagonist makes an effort to do things through the proper channels.

The episode of King of the Hill where Bobby kicks people in the nuts fills me with rage every time I see it, especially the scene with Moss and Hank. No one would have to get kicked in the nuts if you just did your goddamn job and maintained order you ignorant hillbilly pieces of shit.

>>92982498
On top of this, all the bullshit that has ever been said about "fighting fair."
Life wasn't fair from the moment we were born with different genes. Why should we pretend otherwise in the moment of conflict? It is an idiotic and archaic concept favored only by brutes lacking imagination and intelligence who are bitter over the fact that real life doesn't favor the "alpha," ie the lazy and ignorant.

>>92979849
For alot of characters in westerns proving that they are better is part of the point, if they shoot them before high noon then they prove themselves to be a spineless wimp and then that means the deadguy wins and EVERYONE will hold it over their head for all eternity

>>92983387

because most people can see the difference between is and ought

>if you kill him you will be just as bad as him

I don't mind characters who don't kill because they refuse to do so (most Batmans, for example), so long as they never explicitly state this reasoning (the one exception is Zsasz who should be run over with the Batmobile and never mentioned again).

This fucking fantasy world that comics is, is great for fun, light hearted reading, but the complete lack of realistic moral/social choices these 'heroes' make is the number one reason I drop stories more than anything else.

>>92978224

>>92984404
Murderers got on just fine, until someone finally decided to murder them.

The real reason is if you challenge someone to a duel, and then cheat to win the duel, no one will accept your challenges anymore. And since we're talking about bloodsport here, someone will someday just shoot you in the back.

>>92978281
I always thought that cutting hair was symbolic of making a change in yourself by changing such an impactful part of yourself externally. Context can add more depth. Like in Breaking Bad, Walter shaves his head instead of waiting for his hair to fall out, showing that he's taking control of his situation instead of just sitting around while his cancer consumes him. In Naruto, Sakura hacks off her hair in the heat of the moment. She had let her hair grow long because Sasuke likes long hair. By cutting it short she shows that she's letting go of being his ideal girl in favor of being her own person.

Also fuck you early Naruto was alright don't judge me.

I was a wrestler in High School so no one bothered me. I watched plenty of other kids get tormented and just put up with it because they didn't have the balls to do what it took for them to fight back and it still pisses me off to this day.
And seeing the idea that this is how things should be puts me back in the same helpless place. I can't save you, no one can, you need to save yourself and you need to be vicious to do it.

>A character is a complete and utter asshole of a villain and doesn't change in anyway shape or form but is still accepted into the ranks of the heroes and treated like one.
Bonus points if the other heroes start praising the ever living shit out of this 'redeemed' individual.

>a simple but mysterious villain who works just fine and doesn't need a dreary hours-long backstory backstory to explain why he is this way or where he came from
>there's an uninspired, terribly-written, laughable backstory that shits on everything good from before and ruins the villain in retrospect
Is this a trope? At this point it bloody should be.

Long hair is for ugly people who need to cover up their flaws. Short hair is the best.

>>92978281
Its a thing that happens in real life. Lots of girls will feel social, and especially motherly, pressure to keep their hair nice and long. So when they gain increased agency they'll cut it as a way to show they control themselves. You'll see it a lot when girls go off to college.

Fun fact, actually. Back in the Western era, duels weren't recognized as legal recourse for disputes. Murder was still super illegal. Now, self defense? Drawing and shooting someone who was going to shoot you? That's legal as fuck.

That's why you get the staredown. It's not about drawing first. It's a mind game to get them to draw first so you can draw second and kill them legally.
