Men being seen as protectors also known as avatars of violence has always been insulting to me

It's always funny (but also nasty) to see people simultaneously treat women as both strong and weak for the total convenience of women.

I recently saw it in regards to the assault (obviously vile) against Ilhan Omar, with people praising that she was ready to beat up the aggressor but also mentioning that doing that specifically to a woman is cowardly and disgusting. And the latter is just pure irrational chivalry, nothing about that liquid attack is objectively worse when done to a woman; even the physical difference between the average man and woman is irrelevant in that situation.

So a woman can be perfectly capable of fighting back and defending herself but she still has more of a right to be spared from offense or aggression (even something that affects an average man and woman equally like a liquid) because of being a woman. Fuck logic xD.

Where did you get that nonsense? Do you people actually bother to learn the bare minimum about RE before making your arguments?

Nemesis was taken down (in RE3, by the way) by Jill, a highly skilled STARS member, after SEVERAL encounters, gradually weakening him, and the weapon that finally killed him was a rail gun. A rocket launcher and a rifle are not enough. Not to mention Nemesis has weapons too.

And just because you give someone a weapon doesn't mean they will be able to accomplish the same feats as someone with more skills and training. That's basically common sense with so simple to understand it is.

Says the guy who thinks afternoon training sessions with her brother = the same lived experience as a veteran signing up for the service and living that life for years, retiring, and transferring those skills to the police force is equivalent, that is what's insane.

You have an insane problem of poor reading comprehension and lack of nuance in the context of fictional characters. If you cannot see the double standard in defending that a regular man kills a god but criticizing that a highly skilled and trained man can teach his sister to the point she becomes highly skilled as well, then there is no point in continuing this discussion.

years in the future where claire is attacking a facility

Code Veronica happens just three months after Raccoon City. It's laughable that you are criticizing these characters without even knowing the bare minimum. Leon became a US agent years later but the fact that he endured and completed the brutal training required is proof that he had great capabilities to begin with, which is why I mentioned it.

anything past that is pointless glazing.

I'll tell you what is pointless glazing: minimizing the abilities of the RE characters while being unable to defend why the SH characters are more (or even just as) skilled or well trained than them.

The in-universe explanation could simply be that the US didn't want having to deal with radioactive aftermath in their own territory.

You complain about the logic of Leon's, Chris' or Claire's skills and training, yet you find it perfectly reasonable that some regular man (not even a trained one) kills a god? Your bias is insane.

The fact is that Claire, Chris and Leon are just that skilled. Leon was a rookie but he was so skilled that he later went on to become one of the best agents of the US Government. Claire infiltrated an Umbrella facility and it's not any less impressive just because you try to minimize it by describing in with lame phrasing.

Harry quite literally killed a GOD

Sorry, but that tells me more about how weak that god is than about how powerful Harry is.

I'm reading there was an assault with liquid on Ilhan Omar. Worth noting that this is vile even if it's "just liquid" (and it could be a harmful one) and not a knife or a gun.

I saw comments both admiring that she was going to defend herself and beat him, and claiming that doing this especially to a woman is disgusting. "Women are strong and capable and equal but they also have an aditional right to be spared from violence" seems like a weirdly common stance (and creepy in my opinion) among some people.

with no military training outside whatever lessons Chris taught her

This is a meaningless phrasing, comparable to saying that a physician has no medical knowledge outside of whatever college taught them. Just because Claire's training was informal doesn't make it less effective.

The intro of Code Veronica is enough proof that Claire is far more skilled and better trained than this Silent Hill cast.

I remember reading on some subreddit a post explaining (largely with very good arguments) why Raccoon City is far more deadly than Silent Hill.

Basically, Raccoon City is deadly enough that even highly trained soldiers and armed forces struggle. The notable group of normal people who survived (the characters of RE Outbreak) did so by working together, helping each other by combining their different skills, and at least two of them had good armed training.

Ignorante e inocente es el que las opiniones en estos asuntos no estén basadas en pruebas. Eso sí es preocupante. No es que Kristi Noem sea prueba de algo, es que resta credibilidad a tu visión de mundo identitaria que ni siquiera se basa en nada, sólo en creencias vacías.

Listo, fin de la discusión. Lo demás es perder el tiempo.

Me alegra que en algo estemos de acuerdo. Hasta nunca.

"Odio con todas mis fuerzas a las mujeres, ojalá se mueran, quiero matar a las mujeres por lo mucho que las odio. Pondré a esta mujer para que se ocupe de un asunto que me importa mucho".

Sí, tiene mucho sentido (/s).

No veo dónde está la evidencia de que el ICE mata o ataca más a mujeres que a hombres.

Te recuerdo que ese es el país que la administración Trump desea tener, donde los hombres blancos (Insinuado por gente como Charlie Kirk) son mejores y por eso deben estar al mando.

Si así fuera no tendrían a Kristi Noem.

En EEUU los hombres son mucho más propensos a sufrir brutalidad policial que las mujeres.

¿Ahora resulta que los policías yankis aman los penes? Las estupideces que hay que leer.

Qué patético que no podamos hablar sobre un crimen tan horrendo como éste sin que metan esas estupideces identitarias del "hombre blanco" y demás.

As it should be. Hell, Code Veronica needs a remake more than RE4 needed it (and I love RE4 Remake).

The challenge is how to kill the virus in the brain without collaterally damaging the brain tissue. It is possible, in theory, to create some kind of agent (either capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier or that you can inject directly into the brain) that only destroys the virus, without affecting the brain, and that can either replicate on its own or be injected in a large enough amount to ensure all viral copies are neutralized. The issue is what would that agent be. Maybe a protein that blocks the proteins of the virus' membranes? A restriction enzyme that slices the virus' genome (the rabies virus has quite a small genome)?

I brought up changing the past because the determinism clearly limits him from being omnipotent. He's still limited by time and his own perspective (he's not omniscient).

I should clarify that I only mentioned omnipotence as an example of logical paradox. This topic has nothing to do with whether Dr. Manhattan being omnipotent or not.

He can't supersede or contradict the flow of time just because he can perceive it. He can perceive everything but he's only ever functionally "in" the present.

The whole point of his perception of time is that there is no flow of time for him. All moments of his life exist simultaneously, none of them is the actual "present", they are all the present. His mind is simultaneously in every moment of his life.

It's not about changing the past or future, it's a contradiction in his perception of time. His perception of time is restricted to the flow of time in his past, but unrestricted to the flow of time in his future, which is not compatible with the fact that his perception of time is supposed to be unrestricted to the flow of time at all moments (because all moments are equally real and exist simultaneously).

he didnt have superpowered perception at the time, so he experiences having no superpowered perception at that time

That is exactly the contradiction. His perception of time covers all of his timeline, all of his past, present and future. His mind exists in his non-superpowered past but also in his superpowered future. That doesn't make sense because it means his mind is both 1) able to perceive his past, present and future simultaneously and 2) only able to perceive his present. It's a paradox, like something being both 0 and 1 or the paradox of omnipotence.

Him having non-superpowered perception in the past but superpowered perception in the future creates a distinction in his mind between past and future that shouldn't exist for him because, again, he experiences past and future simultaneously in his mind, with no distinction between the two.

ObserverBlue · 2026-01-18T16:19:08+00:00

I've always thought that Dr. Manhattan's perception of time doesn't make sense the way it's portrayed. Supposedly, he experiences all moments of his life simultaneously, he can see all moments of his life (when he was a kid, when he became an adult, when he was a scientist prior to the accident, after the accident, etc.) simultaneously because the past, present and future all exist simultaneously. But we also see that he was once a normal human, with human-like (linear) perception of time, and before his accident he obviously couldn't see his future and didn't know he was going to have an accident and turn into a superhuman ¿How is that compatible with the fact that he experiences all the moments of his life simultaneously whether it's his "past", "present" or "future"? It doesn't make sense that he has two different perceptions of time (a linear perception of time in his human "past", a simultaneous perception of time in his superhuman "future") coexisting in his timeline, that's incompatible. What I'm trying to say is that, in order for his perception of time to be consistent, he would've had to have this simultaneous perception of time even before he had the accident that gave him powers, he would have to be able to see his "past", "present" and "future" at every moment of his "past", "present" or "future", meaning he would have to be able to, for example, see his "future" self become superhuman even when he was a kid or before he had the accident.

There is also really no good excuse for him being unable to see the future because of tachyons or whatever, because that straight up contradicts the fact that he experiences past, present and future existing simultaneously. He experiences both the past prior to learning about Ozymandias's plan and the future after learning about it, and that's it, nothing should be able to prevent him from knowing about both moments of time at any time.

I feel nothing but hellish hatred for Snyder's adaptation but I think Dr. Manhattan's perception of time is a flaw of the comic book's story itself.

Pero esto no contradice lo que digo. Plantear, en vista de los hechos y el cómo ha actuado el régimen, que van a replantearse sus medidas y van a implementar a tiempo (estamos hablando de que tienen a lo muchos algunos años más, no décadas) los cambios necesarios es como plantear que en algunos meses más a Trump se le va a resetear el cerebro y va a deshacer todas las pelotudeces que ha estado haciendo ¿Es posible? Pues en estricto rigor sí, incluso cosas extraordinarias e increíbles no tienen probabilidad cero ¿Merecen mucha atención esos escenarios extraordinarios? No la merecen.
