  1. they fixed one (1) famous grammatical error, everything else is the same
  2. yes how do these people know how to pronounce the name of the character they created, the character whose backstory is that she has a special magical connection with the earth, and whose name is literally a near-anagram of earth how can they possibly know that it's Aerith
  3. "I'm from the United States and I think my education is anything but a joke" - various posters, constantly
  4. http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/
  5. literally everything you said about astrology also applies to psychology
  6. psychology is currently more or less as valid as astrology
  7. it's not that it's irrelevant, it's that it's not possible to influence people to change what motivates them to do bad things without implementing significant penalty for doing that thing
  8. I don't really trust the opinions of people who claim that action games are monotonous and that's why we should instead have gameplay literally based entirely on watching people do things like I'm sorry that people like playing video games and not just masturbating over high numbers flashing over some anime
  9. have you uh ever played final fantasy 7 every battle is just 'press x until you win'
  10. you saying "I can't make this clearer" doesn't make it true? grow up, kid
  11. I'm pretty sure that most if not all examples of "passively correcting beliefs" is literally just telling people "no, you can't do that" directly or indirectlyagain, the reason this is even being talked about in the first place is because you were arguing that preventing sexist art won't prevent sexism, because the creation of or appreciation of sexist art must not contribute to the existence of sexism (because there isn't physical evidence that fits your arbitrary standards) basically what you're saying here is that you don't believe that doing sexist things notably contributes to the existence of sexism (you talk about "the dregs of Tumblr" but this is basically just a Reddit-tier opinion), and I'm saying that sexism is people doing sexist things
  12. sexist people exist because people do sexist things - being a sexist has nothing to do with what you think (because what you think doesn't matter) and everything to do with what you do to prevent people from being sexist, you have to prevent people from doing sexist things - the reason we're talking about this is because people were arguing that preventing people from doing a bad thing wouldn't solve the problem, even though the problem is that they are doing a bad thing
  13. no, see, you're strawmanning still - I'm saying we shouldn't evaluate people at all we should only evaluate their actions, and hold them responsible accordingly nobody is good or bad - only the things they do
  14. yeah - the strawman that you're making here is saying my argument is "people's minds are unrelated to their character", whereas my actual argument is "the idea of a person having an innate 'character' that's somehow separable from their actions is false - people cannot innately be any descriptor that runs contrary to how they act, because people only exist to each other as a sum of their actions (for example, a person claiming they aren't sexist doesn't mean anything if they do sexist things)"
  15. your problem here is that "continued" in this context vaguely refers to a period of time or a number of actions that you arbitrarily control what you're saying here, functionally, is that people aren't [sexist or whatever] -unless you say so-, which you may recall as exactly the kind of fallacious nonsense that I said was the only reason people try to argue that people exist separate from their actions (I know this is a double post but I'm currently incapable of editing previous posts on the mobile version for some reason)
  16. I like how you constantly accuse others of using strawmen and semantics and yet do nothing but
