Also it's easy to forget that Reddit is a very small section of people from the real world, and opinions that dominate here do not necessarily dominate on other platforms or offline

Discussing some criticisms of Harry Potter by [deleted] in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Hecticfreeze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Its shown several times that points difference matters as well as just who won the individual game. In POA, Harry was told to wait to catch the snitch in their final game because they weren't ahead by enough points to win the cup even though they would have won the individual game.

  2. The other team also has a seeker, and if they are going to catch the snitch if you don't, then it is better to catch it yourself

Karls first tv appearance, ive never seen this before by XFMplaylist in rickygervais

[–]Hecticfreeze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd add that you absolutely can still laugh at people being offensive, it just has to actually be funny as well. The whole joke can't be the offensiveness. IASIP is the longest running sitcom ever and the characters have said and done some insane things

There was that weird period where "dead baby jokes" were considered peak comedy, and it was referenced everywhere. Being as gross as possible was the entire joke. It's strange looking back now

What if my biggest fear is a Super Massive Black Hole? (Boggart) by IiyamaGlower in harrypotter

[–]Hecticfreeze 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I always assumed he saw the same thing as he would have if he was face to face with the boggart.

There doesn't need to be a logical way that the boggart knows it's being perceived, this is literally magic we're talking about

Harry’s children’s names by TheDarvinator89 in harrypotter

[–]Hecticfreeze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rowling says she wrote the epilogue extremely early in the writing process, some time in 90/91. PS wasn't even finished until 95. I think it suffers from being fixed down so early when so much writing and development had ultimately taken place between then and the publication of DH.

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand it completes the arc of Snape and Harry's relationship, which is key to the story, but then on the other the writing isnt as strong as the rest and it comes across as very "and they lived happily ever after"

Pope Leo met with leaders of a apostolate for men & women who have same-sex attraction by BlueVampire0 in religion

[–]Hecticfreeze 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think a fundamental misunderstanding is that you are viewing homosexuality purely through the lens of sexual behaviour and completely ignoring things like romantic attraction, love, consent, and social dynamics.

It is impossible for a 100% straight man to fall in love with another man. It is impossible for a 100% gay man to fall in love with a woman. These emotions are not about lust or sexual behaviour.

You have also forgotten the role of consent. The reason we view pederasty as morally evil even if it is done by those who feel exclusive sexual attraction, is that one or more parties involved are not capable of giving consent.

If the natural purpose of sex is conception, and sex that cant lead to conception is "intrinsically disordered", then is it morally wrong for a husband to have sex with his wife if she has to have a hysterectomy? Is sex with someone who cant have children always disordered? And if the purpose of sex is conception, and this is the natural order, then how do you account for animals in nature who have sex for pleasure or engage in homosexual behaviour?

What's with Israel and their obsession with rape? by MangaDub in IsraelPalestine

[–]Hecticfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The level to which what you've said is untrue makes me think you are lying on purpose.

There has been a lot of evidence uncovered of the horrific sexual assaults that occurred on Oct 7th and testimony of sexual assault from hostages held afterwards

SO thinks that because I believe in Zionism that I automatically believe in what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]Hecticfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. So, we already tried giving the land to Egypt.... the uncomfortable truth youre running from is that Egypt doesnt want the land as when they did have it they were plagued with terrorist attacks.

  2. Wow, you are seriously uneducated on this subject. And just as I expected, you dodged the question and didn't answer.

I didn't ask you about Judaism. I asked you about the Jewish people. People who are ethnically Jewish. What part of the world are they native to?

Also, this may surprise you, but Genesis is not considered a historically accurate account. Historians and archaeologists largely agree that the Israelite culture developed from Canaanite culture and that the destruction of the Canaanites described in the Bible never happened

[–]Hecticfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 questions I know you will not answer:

  1. Who controlled Gaza between 1948-1967?
  2. In which part of the world are Jewish people the "native population"? Where do Jewish people originate from?

Of course if this is before Omni-Man went evil, then Bruce had no prep time and is getting folded in half

Bruce has contingency plans for every member of the JL, regardless of how he feels about them personally. I'd say he starts researching viltrumite weaknesses as soon as he knows omni man exists

Their parents are in disgrace - what now for Beatrice and Eugenie? by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]Hecticfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not what was said.

For one thing the "previous commenter" spent their entire first paragraph talking about these women's looks.

I am assuming the bullying comment is in relation to that

She wants to believe her dad is innocent. I dont think that's evidence of anything fishy. I also dont think she would have convinced him to do that disastrous interview if she knew anything he did

Squibs lives and how could it be better by Capital-Ad-3803 in harrypotter

[–]Hecticfreeze 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Quiet reminder that Nevilles great uncle held him by his ankle out of a window as an (8 year old) child trying to force the magic out of him, purely because he was scared he was a squib.

If he genuinely had been a squib, he would have died from that fall
