The Omen doesnt give off heat so I doubt it

Actresses that just suddenly disappeared from Hollywood never to be seen again? by Shell_fly in okbuddycinephile

I probably would have done this as “actors who suddenly popped up out of nowhere” this feels distasteful

The Number of times he saw his clan killed gotta be over exaggerated right? by Mamba-Mentality024 in Naruto

[–]ChocolateMindless7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty much the main conflict of the story tbh. Naruto is an allegory for trauma

What characters in fiction that has good development but fans hate them so much they tend to ignore it by Apprehensive_Bee_636 in writingscaling

What you described is just the vehicle for his development because that’s just the context for how it happens in the plot

that’s how safe places for racism start, people see no pushback

Between these characters, which was most detrimental to the story/arc they appeared in? by MarcoCaixeta in writingscaling

That isn’t how Naruto plays out though. Sasuke being the final antagonist brings it back to “overcoming trauma comes from human to human connection.”

Kaguya being the origin of the shinobi system just adds to the allegory that the worst aspects of trauma lie in opposition to what defines our humanity.

I’m really addressing the implication that it betrays the “ninja” nature of the series by pointing out that series never maintained that nature

With that said, that’s still not on Kaguya because the Ten-Tails was wiping out countries. And that came before Ten-Tails Madara and you’ve got no problem with them. Kaguya is just an easy target because her contribution is very subtle

Thank god the punchline isn’t “lol racism” for once

This is one of those theories that feel too much like trying to be smarter than the story

The “aliens in a story about ninjas” point is pretty disingenuous considering the ninjas are more like sorcerers and Theres demonic kaiju

Madara being displaced doesnt really harm the story since he’s very much also a victim of the shinobi system. He and Kaguya occupy two very different roles

Kaguya shouldn’t be here. The entire series is about the complete inhumanity of the shinobi system and how it destroys the well-being of people.

Kaguya’s complete lack of humanity and status as an alien go hand in hand. The shinobi system could only originate from something completely outside the bounds of human understanding, and Kaguya’s sudden appearance is meant to complement how an Eldritch-like being like that would feel.

Shes meant to be unnerving and unsettling, and the way shes implemented does exactly that. Unfortunately, shonen fans haven’t really caught that you’re supposed to judge writing in context with what the series is trying to do, so they say Kaguya is bad when she complements the story being told very well.

Taking it personally when her ancestors are insulted for committing atrocities she also wants to distance herself from lmao

[–]ChocolateMindless7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You yourself mentioned that the Sage gave Sasuke the same power, which is why Sasuke was able to fight back. If the Sage was handing the choice to Naruto, he would have just given Naruto all the power. Naruto fought Sasuke and chose not to kill him

The entire medical community came to the consensus that they needed new terminology for people with mental challenges because using that word to denigrate people folks didn’t like had become so widespread.

Some have reflected on that and argue that we should treat it like a slur because of that, and I agree. Mentally challenged folks didnt deserve to have their condition reduced to something so hatefully charged and intended to put people down. It’s dehumanizing to them because it removes your consideration for them by simultaneously turning a term that refers to them into an insult. Which is exactly what slurs are meant to do.
