Wut. Ofc they know it. They also know that their voters would never vote D either, no matter how bad things get for them.

The R senator of Kentucky has held a <20% approval rating but also his seat for decades. 9 out of 10 people in the state hate him with a passion and yet those same people vote for him again, and again, and again. It's absurd, lool.

Yeah, we're just less experienced and have fewer expectations when we're young. We were much more impressionable then.

Guys in general are bad at portraying women, as I understand. That's on top of being bad in general for Kojima, I think. There's a funny interview with the MGS2 English translator Agness Kaku where she comments that the writing at times is high school fanfic level.

And she's 100% justified. The older you get the more appearant it becomes that he's bad at writing dialogue and story. He's a tendency of using controvencies to create drama and it often falls flat, if not into eye-roll territory.

I could not stop cringing during Death Stranding. I had to fast forward the ending. I imagine Margaret Qualley being completely bewildered when they were capturing her character's twin soul melding scene.
