This stuff is everywhere and getting worse. Do you think it's smart to wait until harm is proven? The evidence we now have is already concerning.

Textile manufacturing creates millions of tons of wastea year .

This constant consumerism can be a force for good instead of the poisonous monster it's become. Anyone can afford to give up plastic clothes.

This would be very funny in a subreddit about fiction or memes.

But when we're talking about scientific research into harmful behaviors, we shouldn't let storytelling genre conventions color our expectations.

They're not meant to reflect reality, they're just there to entertain.

Oh it's the reasons I love villains like lex Luthor. cunning and calculating. Harma and azula from avatar also fit this bill and pretty much all the villains from the legend of Korra. varak being the best one played everyone like a fiddle and people only noticed when he stopped playing because he no longer needed to. Most people don't like the legend of Korra. But the one thing they did well was the cunning villains.
