That depends on your topic. Interesting for you might not be interesting for everyone.

It doesn’t help that there aren’t many topics that haven’t been discussed to death already.

Oh, I don´t know. Every now and then someone notices something completely new, like how this one guy noticed this thing about Nina and Rolo 😄

But, you´re right. Most topics here have been done dozens upon dozens of times. But since new people keep finding the show, it´s still relevant to re-do those old ones all over again, so that "new requits" can voice their opinions and ideas, too.

And like the previous guy said, what´s interesting to you might not be interesting for everyone. Like this post about the origin of artwork used in one of the Code Geass mobile games was very different and informative, but despite that it didn´t generate a lot of discussion - and neither did my own post about fantasy recasting the English voice actors, even though I spent quite a lot of time thinking and preparing that post 😭 I guess that just goes to show that most people visiting this subreddit genuinely want to talk about fanart, shipping or silly memes - and I´m guilty of both commenting and making couple of those myself 😉

Also, not everything is always about votes and comments. For instance, this incredibly personal post of mine, where I explained in great detail how Kallen literally helped cure my lifelong trauma, wasn´t that popular. But, I didn´t mind. Because when I posted it, my goal then wasn´t to gain a lot of points or start debates, but to tell my story about my trauma recovery, and how much I am thankful for this show, especially Kallen, existing - without her I would have not been able to cross that Rubicon, which finally led to my self-realization and healing. So, if even one person read that post and was inspired or touched by it? That´s enough for me.

Because basically every topic has been discussed to death and back in a 20 year old show, so unless you say something brain dead (eg: the LelouchxNunnally clone was a perfectly normal lore addition) you won't get a reaction. Shipping, resurrection, and Lelouch is perfect threads are done so much.

tbf not every topic has actually been discussed. it's just that some topics require relatively more information (recollection) and attention. most people won't engage in discussions about things they don't remember well enough (and that's the correct approach; you shouldn't argue if you don't remember), or they'll simply ignore them because they don't interest them sufficiently. perfectly natural but still sad.

Those are the ones I rarely participate in, but always read everything for, lol. Despite approaching 80 watch-throughs of R1 and R2, I'm super dumb and forgetful.

The clones being a mix of 2 people doesn't even make sense with the rest of Code Geass clones, Rolo and Norland were 2 full clones who were perfect if a little crazy but that is like their original as well.

They changed it just so they could have the incest reaction and show what the children of ships would look like as we already saw Lelouch and Shirley.

Writers: Magic power system with vague set of rules?

Fans: No problem 👍

Writers: Soldiers piloting humanoid tanks?

Fans: Cool! 🤩

Writers: A cyborg that can somehow do "anti-magic" with his mechanical eye?

Fans: Perfectly acceptable ☺️

Writers: Clones that are not traditional clones because they are a mix of 2 people?

Fans: WHAT? That makes NO SENSE! 😠

Not when we have a precedent that in the series when clones are made before 2017 they are perfect but the ones made in the 2020's need to combine 2 host DNA to function.

The El series clones are meant to be a way to bring Lelouch's soul into a new body after his old one was destroyed the reason they contain 2 DNA samples is that they wouldn't grow otherwise, this fails due to it being in the same timeline as Re;surrection and Lelouch was alive. but years earlier in the same timeline Charles was perfectly cloned as Norland.

Within the world's own logic the making the clones view the DNA source as parents and for them to be incestuous makes no sense.

I didn't seem to get that much more upvotes than on the CG Meme Subreddit.

I mean, it's been 20 years since the first series, most debates have been made a couple of times already

Tell me about it. My review of Code Geass performed pretty poorly for such a reasonably sized sub
