      1. @redenchilada OK, then: A parent always dies.

        1. @broniebrown What about Mulan. She had both parents.

            2. @broniebrown He didn't. He just suffered crippling wounds.

              1. @fabio In DnD when someone smashes a petrified creature into pieces then the creature dies.

                1. @broniebrown But Mulan wasn't DnD. There's glue in China.

                  1. @fabio My theory is that you can explain everything with DnD (or other pen & paper RPG) rules.

                    1. @broniebrown Well, that's a valid theory.

          2. @fabio they hated the fact that she was transgender

            1. @rarity What if Mulan was a boy all along. Oh wait she wasn't, she was the best Disney hero ever, the only I can remember gave a good message to kids.

              1. @fabio "don't let the man keep you down"?

                Monday, 29-Apr-13 12:21:19 UTC from web
                1. @rarity No. Save China.

                  Monday, 29-Apr-13 12:22:26 UTC from web
                2. @rarity Also "Old men need hugs"

              2. @fabio I dunno I thought Toy Story had a good message "If you're going to try and murder someone, don't halfass it"

                1. @ceruleanspark Yeah, but I classify Pixar separately. It's a good moral though.

                2. @ceruleanspark I prefer Toy Story 3's "No matter how old you are you WILL cry like a mangoes when your childhood is destroyed"

                  Monday, 29-Apr-13 12:24:17 UTC from web
                  1. @rarity I thought Toy Story 3 was an extended meditation on the inevitability of death.

                    1. @ceruleanspark @fabio those work too but I was trying to be funny okay

                  2. @rarity Wasn't Toy Story 3's moral "Don't trust the evil politician even if he says he changed because he WILL throw you in a fire"?
