A kid is not what a 19 year old is, you chronically online fucking weirdos.
If we're suddenly going to claim that people that age are kids, hey, Liliana, tell me again how old Ginger and Lizzy were when you started dating them?
This is at least consistent with her saying "Aliana is just a child!" when Aliana is in her mid-twenties and totally in charge of her decisions and faculties.
Her definition of child versus adult changes depending on what she needs. She'll consider a 19-year-old a 'child' because it makes Courtney look bad, but has also argued that same 19-year-old can date a 60-year-old because they're both consenting adults and there's no further dynamics to consider.
Did Lily ever share her opinions on abortion before? Because this is rich. This is so fucking funny for Lily to really be using right-wing rhetoric just to make Courtney look bad.
I notice the lefties in the thread had been getting really loud about how Lily is a fake progressive and definitely a right-winger pretending otherwise and I feel like I have to remind you guys of a few things:
1. A person you don't agree with is not automatically on the opposing political side. I notice that folks like Crim will assume that Lily MUST support Israel because they personally don't like Lily and therefore she must have an opposition viewpoint and are aghast to find that Lily actually agrees with them about some things. I know it hurts, but assholes can share your opinions, too.
2. This isn't even to say that Lily is a left-winger, either.
Lily is an opportunist. Lily's politics align with whatever gets her an advantage.
She made Aliana to pander to black people because she wants to be seen as A Good Person after she was accused of fetishizing black women. She made her favorite OC a Ukrainian Jew to prove she's A Good Person after being accused of anti-Semitism, then proceeded to advocate for the glassing of Israel (home of roughly 40% of the world Jewish population) because the people she wants to pander to support Palestine. She's using a pro-life presumption to make Courtney look bad when she's previously advocated being pro-choice up to the point of birth (although a miscarriage is different from an abortion so I don't think this is really much of a 'gotcha' against Lily). She's a socialist because she hates people more successful than her and wants free shit. So on.
Lily is ultimately neither left wing nor right wing, she's an asshole who only cares about looking good and looking out for herself. She has no real morals beyond self-interest. Largely that means appealing to the left-wing audience she's cultivated, but if she needs to run interference for her brother because it lets her keep contact with his kids, whatever. She gets what she wants.
I watches the Pokemon Response video (so of course devoid of critical context according to Lily) and it was the most hilarious review of the games I've ever seen. Ignored the game mechanics, didn't explain many of the mechanical changes players would be interested in who aren't there for the plot (like him), has the reading comprehension of a 7 year old hyped on caffeine, refuses to change strategy, and simps so hard for gardivor he fucked up and got stuck with its prevolved forms for 30 fucking levels. For context, here's the numbers on the pre-evolutions. Remember, big numbers good, small numbers bad.

Compared to a Pokemon you're only supposed to collect and its stats are garbage on purpose:

This is so fucking embarrassing. He can't even be bothered to raise more than 3 Pokemon at once. His views on the campagins of the games, the difficulty, the dungeons, all skewed after generation 3 (when gardivor shows up and he creams his pants). This is a review from an 8 year old who loves charizard and is mad whenever his charizard isn't the best. I can't give a shit if he didn't like the stories of the games, I understand not caring for the stories of a children's game. Although, he gets several things wrong, thinks (ironically) in black and white, and his worldview is so colored by his own experiences he can only think in his terms on story interpretation, so that doesn't help. But I could toss that aside if he actually did at least a decent dive into the fucking game mechanics.
On a lighter note, it's wild that she cheats in a Pokemon whose entire POINT is that it starts off frail and weak and requires a patient, caring trainer in order to reach its full potential (at which point it can now return the favor by defending that trainer with its impressive psychic powers) and then blames the games for being too hard.
The Pokemon games are built around giving you a starter Pokemon-- a Pokemon
designed to be what you need at the various stages of the game. Starters are innately stronger than the early-route Pokemon you find and evolve at the points where their stats (and usefulness) start to fall off, giving you a consistent partner that's strong enough to get you through the game's challenge curve without being overwhelming. A Ralts is NOT designed to be a starter Pokemon-- it's an investment. It's difficult to raise and its powerful final form is meant to be a reward for your dedication. Ralts simply does not function as a starter.
Blaming Game Freak for making the game 'too hard' when you're actively making choices to make the game harder is a wee bit
stupid, to say the least.
