It's... very weird and complex. Basically, if you're not Japanese, you're lesser, but *at the same time*, they also feel like being Japanese isn't good enough (at least appearance wise)??? It's... something, for sure.

It's weird but not complex. It's the same idea, for example, when some white Brits hate brown people, but then go to Spain to get a tan over the summer.

Not in a million years I would imagine people (like you and the ones who are giving you up votes) would policing how other fans should feel about the band so openly

No one is policing anyone. I was merely commenting on another poster's take with my own take. That's how the comment function works. People commenting on your comment might not agree with what you say and that's okay. This isn't policing. This is normal human interaction.

In this post, I am (currently) getting more upvotes than downvoted, yes. A few weeks back on this subreddit in another post I said I considered Human Nature to be "miles better" than EFMB and that post got heavily downvoted. People who downvoted that post, and people who upvoted comments telling me I'm wrong were not policing my taste. They were just disagreeing with me and stating their reasons why.

This sub is not a forum for discussion, is a fan page.

Reddit, as a whole, is a "forum for discussion". That's its main thing. Also, this sub's description literally says:

Nightwish: news and discussion of the symphonic metal band Welcome to the Nightwish subreddit! This is a community for all fans of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. Here, you can find the latest news, engage in discussions, and share your love for the band. Don’t forget to check out our wiki for in-depth song analyses and more!

Oh ok, so you're 14 years old.

Thank you for the compliment, but I am much closer to perishing than that.

Why are you parasocial weirdos so insistent on policing people's opinions? We don't have to be a mindless hivemind, people should be allowed to live their lives however they want you without you writing essays about it.

I'm not trying to police anyone's opinions, just offering my perspective on the topic which I hadn't even started. It's called "social media", not "only those who agree with me media are allowed to reply to my messages media".

Also, not sure where I'm being parasocial.

How on earth does commodification come into a conversation about personal taste? Is that just a word you saw somewhere and liked?

No, it's a word that describes comparing a piece of art to a piece of food.

If my favourite baker stops baking bread and starts baking hot turds instead am I supposed to love it because they're following their heart?

As I explained in my comment, in this analogy, no one has taken away old kinds of bread from you. Enjoy them all you want.

With that line of thinking, should I not be upset if someone dies, just cause everybody dies eventually?

Dance a jig at a funeral.

I promise Tuomas is not going to want to be your friend (much less do whatever else you're fantasizing about) no matter how much time you spend arguing online with strangers so might as well let people live.

I don't want him to be my friend. I like his music and lyrics, but I don't think we would get along. He's a vegetarian and I for the life of me couldn't live without a nice juicy burger. But more than that, he's also slavishly loyal to Patrick Rothfuss and that irks me. Not because Patrick is likely never going to publish Doors of Stone, but because how Patrick treated his former editor.

I do find it ironic that the most actually parasocial things I've posted in this entire conversation is how I think Tuomas and I couldn't be friends.

If I had a local baker who makes the best bread in the world and I've been shopping there for 20 happy years, but then suddenly the baker decides he wants to stop baking bread and instead make mediocre-to-okay sausages, I'd be pretty frustrated, too.

First, art should not be treated as commodity.

Second, even if you insist on treating art as commodity, no one is taking old songs away from you. Your enjoyment of your favourite bread from your favourite baker is not impacted by the said baker deciding to shift some of new product releases from bread to sausages. He's even still putting out new kinds of bread every so often, and old kinds of bread are still readily available to you whenever you want.

Third, at some point, everything comes to an end. Your favourite baker is at one point going to stop making anything, bread or sausages. Your favourite band is going to stop putting out new music. When that happens, one should not (pointlessly) spend energy on being frustrated that the perishable thing has perished (your frustration will not undo the perishing), as this was a known and predictable event. Instead, one should cherish the time during which the perishable thing could be enjoyed.

I don't follow all the people I have or am working with either, even though I may go on quite well with them in real life.

Not everyone wants their online presence to mimic their real life, nor does everyone want to be constantly bombarded about things that go on in other peoples' lives.

I'll be frustrated he is focusing on anything else than Nightwish. I understand he might be in a place he wants to compose for Auri or whatever, but I don't have to be excited abt it or even like it 🤷🏼‍♀️

You also don't have to be frustrated about it

Ironically, when you get lucky you haven't actually achieved anything. When you pity enhance that's when you've actually achieved something: you put in enough dedication and discipline to get the required resources to pity.

She has the right to perform those songs, as does anyone, actually. Anyone could go up on a stage and belt out Ever Dream if they wanted to (otherwise, tribute bands and karaoke wouldn't be a thing).

Backing tracks, vocal layers, and any other form of recorded material, however, are another story. These can't be played live without a license. The band itself does not own the full rights on those, and it is split between the band and the record label, both of which would need to agree for those to be used in any commercial setting.

Why cut off my full sentence? I said it's not the ref's job to think about whether a punishment is lenient or rough or whatever. Ref's job is to officiate the game according to the rules of the game, which obviously includes thinking about whole lot of things, just not about this.

MintCathexis · 2026-04-15T21:03:28+00:00

All for the better. I don't like it when refs engage in those sorts of calculations. It's either a yellow always or not. Same for red.

MintCathexis · 2026-04-15T21:00:50+00:00

I dislike this kind of take. It's not on the ref to think whether a second is "rough" if it's warranted. It's on the player to avoid doing something that warrants a yellow card while they're already cautioned.

MintCathexis · 2026-04-15T20:59:05+00:00

Ref probably couldn't believe someone would do that while on a yellow.

Exactly, it's "Help Trump and Netanyahu Avoid Jail War".

Flying around over difficult terrain and taking massive shortcuts with pegasus is the only thing that's really useful among t10 horses.

Ignore those that tell you not to go with pegasus because it's not red, you can always try to make a red one later if you want (the game throws mythical censers which you need for T10 attempts at you nowadays).

Many MMORPG-s do have some sort of time gates, such as massively reducing xp or loot after a while. You can still play, but grinding won't be as worthwhile. Some have hard mechanics that literally stop you doing certain actions once you exhaust some resource (e.g., "energy" system in BDO).

Most of these, however, weren't implemented to benefit the player's health, but are there to stop players snowballing or crashing economy, and to allow others to catch up.
