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 -
quotes are broken

it's Aerith

turn based number simulators suck anyways

However as a response to something Bleck said, he's made it clear he believes in penalty (in his words) for sexist media. And I take issue with that.
what comes to mind when I say "penalty"

"I'm from the United States and I think my education is anything but a joke" - various posters, constantly
-
this is actually making me kind of sad, wow
-
This is not even close to true. Now you're just trolling. Psychology studies do NOT depend on appealing to positivity (i.e. uncritical acceptance).

literally everything you said about astrology also applies to psychology
-
Dude, astrology isn't in the least bit valid.
yeah, I know
-
psychology is currently more or less as valid as astrology
-
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
-
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door is something I also see as objectively (tongue-in-cheek) the best turn-based RPG (if not one of the best video games in general) ever made
yup
-
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

the usual action rpg combat forumla. i.e. hold forward and mash X until dead.
have you uh ever played final fantasy 7
every battle is just 'press x until you win'

you saying "I can't make this clearer" doesn't make it true? grow up, kid

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 indirectlyThe entire point of my side here is that belief has everything to do with it, and more effectively than policing sexist actions is stopping the motivation for sexist actions by passively correcting beliefs of people in society over long periods of time (you know like how we've dealt with every other civil rights issue).
again, 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
-
So you believe that society (people) are the sum of what they do and that sexism is bad, which would lead to the logical/only conclusion that sexist people exist and therefore are bad...yet you also say nobody is bad or good - just what they do is bad or good?
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
-
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
-
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)"
-
I truly believe that you're not necessarily sexist until it is clarified that you have continued to do sexist things.
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)

I like how people in this thread somehow came to the psychologically unfounded conclusion that a person's mind has nothing to do with their character.
I like how you constantly accuse others of using strawmen and semantics and yet do nothing but
Final Fantasy VII is being remade for PS4
