Missed a few weeks again x_x It's been a busy month. Here's the episodes since the last post!

The cruelty and harshness of Battle School, amplified by Command's desire to isolate their prodigy to prevent him becoming reliant on anyone but himself.

---

Child soldiers and dystopian mayhem.

---

On geniuses in fiction and the way they're written.

---

The cruelty of the authority system and the powers that be in Ender's world.

---

"Isolated, friendless, and self-reliant."

---

Wartime atrocities and the greater good [THE GREATER GOOD].

We're stepping back in time to have a look at an indie game classic from 2010, IJI! Coupled with a larger step back to the 1980s to discuss the sci-fi "classic" Ender's Game.

Rowling has a bad tendency to lean on stereotypes in her writing, especially when coding her antagonists. Coupled with her harmful positions in recent days, it paints a clear picture of how she is as a person.

A look-over on our cast of characters as we wrap up Goblet of Fire and reach the series midpoint.

Classism, racism, and abuse are rampant in the world of Harry Potter... and for the most part, the protagonists are happily complicit or uncaring.

Been a while since I've posted our videos so going to drop a whole bunch at once here. ^^

What happens when society decides the only solution for an extreme problem is an equally-extreme response? A spiral of abuse and mistreatment inevitably follows.

---

Conspiracies abound, in the real world and the fictional.

---

With the myriad powers of magic - invisibility, shapeshifting, duplication - how secure can one be in their own privacy and safety? And how far is too far to go in response?

---

No shortage of misinformation and duplicity to go around in the news - something we know well in the real world as well as the fictional.

Speaking of darker subjects... fictional hate groups and the nature of persecution and prejudice in the world of the novels.

Goblet of Fire is unquestionably the point where the series took a sharper turn into darker subjects, as it aged with its readership. This trend would continue forward as the story unfolds.

Sports as politics, international diplomacy, and a quick way to get people badly injured.

"Love at first sight" is a staple of fairy tale narrative. Not without reason, but also not without its share of problems.

More on fairy tales as morality messages, and how the teaching of such and what morals are taught have changed over time.

Who actually solves problems and gets things done in old fairy tales? What does that say about the morals these tales are trying to teach?

Fairy tales and classic stories are ripe for allusion, and Cinderella is the source of many. Let's have a look!

Humans love to classify things. Fairy tales have been being used to tell stories, teach morals, and share information for ages, and we've catalogued every little detail into archetypical formats. Here's a little about how that works.

It's time for something completely different. We're tackling our first Classic Fairy Tale with "Cinderella", looking over the many versions of the tale, while playing our way through a classic Mario Bros 3 hack, Mario Adventure.

There is nothing to fear but Fear Itself. And Fear Itself is a floating blot of shadow that makes you remember your worst lifetime experiences and can eat your soul, so yeah that's worth being afraid of.

Comparing treating magic as an art to magic as a science is a little more complex than it might initially look.

Let's have a look at how dangerous animals and creatures, even domestic ones, are treated both in the Potterverse and in the real world. With guest appearance from a relevant puppy.

[Content warning: torture, psychological harm, and cruel and unusual punishment.] Let's talk about Azkaban, and the utterly wretched state of punitive incarceration in the wizarding world.

Nothing gets the crowds riled quite like "Think of the Children" does. Let's just see how badly that goes.

Exdeath is free! And in The Potterverse we're talking about Family - a major theme throughout the series, especially the contrast between family of birth and family of choice.
