The other day I saw someone try to argue that Solarpunk should be renamed "Solarcore" because Solarpunk is supposed to represent a utopia, and punk is supposed to be gritty and dystopian, and as I read that statement, my eyes rolled to the back of my head.
Punk isn't about being gritty and everything being black, the notion that it's about an aesthetic is antithetical to punk. Punk is about anti-establishment it's meant to be anti-capitalist. Imagining a utopia free from the chains of capitalism and with all the establishments that force people into a capitalist hellscape that also hurts the environment is very punk even without the explosions and violence.

noel: okay. i'll regret this, but what part don't you get?
ocean: why would you prefer men over women? i'm straight but i could never imagine being with a man... like... that. women are infinitely more attractive. why would you make your life harder for a subpar mate?

Mace trying to go stop them before it happens but judge stops him with his arm and shakes his head to leave it.
*The thing happens. Mc: "MOTHER Fucker!! You piece of Shit!" *Kicks the thing and it hurts them again. Mc: "!!!!....OW, fuck! That's it! You're dead, do you hear me, dead!" *Hits it multiple times more with a wrench which then bounces back and hits their face.
Mace: *wincing while this is happening "should we stop them...or?"
Judge: "Let me just enjoy this for a while longer. At least they don't give up that easily."
Mace would try to help the MC so bad while Judge on the side knowing there's a more efficient, logical, practical way to go about it like
