What was SJW about Striking Vipers?
Posted on 6/6/19 at 12:04 am to Billy Mays
Just finished Striking Vipers (I’ll watch the rest tomorrow). I don’t think anything about that episode was SJW and making the two characters gay would be completely pointless because they aren’t homosexual.
I think this episode showed the different effects of growing old. Danny was clearly tired of the “suburb lifestyle” and getting old (Ex. Complaining about his knee pains, not working out, looking at his friends wife arse while letting the meat burn). Meanwhile, Karl is growing old in a different way. Sure he’s going out and sleeping with twenty somethings. But they have zero uncommon with one another (Makes a comment about the bartender looking like Dennis Rodman. His date is so young that she has to google him). They both seem to be searching for some sort of connection that it dulls their senses irl (In the beginning, Karl repeatedly tells Theo about the dishwashers knife sense. By the end, he’s making the same mistake. As well as daydreaming at the dinner table).
The episode has some comic relief in it. Karl’s “I fricked a polar bear and still couldn’t get over you” & “I tried it with a dude from Holland. But couldn’t get over the accent” made me laugh pretty hard.
Maybe it’s my paranoia. But I felt that the dishwasher was going to record him or that his wife would load up the game and find some recorded game footage.
Sidenote, the actress that played Roxette is kinda hot.

Nothing at all
Questioning sexuality and having minority characters doesn’t mean it’s SJW.
I thought it was a really good episode and it raises interesting points:
- When does gaming become too immersive?
- What happens when people prefer a virtual reality over an actual reality?
- Does what you do in a game reflect who you actually are or is it just a game?
