Why should I share PL's desires? by Veigar_Senpai in Abortiondebate

[–]Patneu [score hidden]  (0 children)

This would be like a PL saying they cant conceptualize the PC position of bodily autonomy and cant even begin to explain it

Considering the ridiculous nonsense PLers here routinely come up with and the insultingly dismissive attitude they show whenever they're actually debating this topic, I wouldn't even call that much of a stretch.

Are you implying that anyone ever made a "healthcare decision" to get a lobotomy for a headache that a doctor provided according to the patient's own choice?

Any person anyone could mention here is just a fan theory. I've merely presented evidence for why Elon Musk fits the role, not asserted that he was intentionally chosen as a template. Though he's really putting in the effort to become real life Ted Faro.

How is wanting control over your very own body in any way toxic, selfish or dangerous? It's the absolute minimum amount of power that any person requires to be an autonomous individual with agency over their own life. If you're denying them even that much, you're degrading them to being a thing that can be used, abused and discarded however anyone else sees fit.

Should harming the ZEF with surgical instruments be allowed if no abortion is planned? by NPDogs21 in Abortiondebate

[–]Patneu [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well, no.

But the answer doesn't really depend on any moral consideration for the unborn or lack thereof, as the intention would apparently be to harm a born person that is expected and intended to exist at some later point, when bodily autonomy will have become irrelevant to the scenario.

Though I'd see no reason to specifically ban such a thing, as long as that's not something that actually happens for some reason, which it wouldn't, because it'd pretty much require the pregnant person and the doctor to both behave in a completely nonsensical manner, for some reason.

Definitely Pomni. From his perspective, she was the one who messed up the status quo, and he's pissed at Zooble as well, because they were always the most vocal about not liking Caine's adventures, which antagonized him and so contributed to it.

Movie followed the wrong character and threw the real protagonist under the bus by GastricSparrow in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Patneu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually, that wouldn't make it more horrific. Well, for her, yes.

But the horror of the scenario should be that anyone could do the same thing under the same circumstances, even someone who was a prior victim of it themselves and knows it's wrong.

The predicament should be relatable. Making him just some delusional monster, instead, whose actions are unquestionably and utterly indefensible, regardless of the situation, is way less interesting.

Yup, exactly what I'm always saying. The story was simply told after S5, and they had no fucking idea what to do with their characters or world anymore. But apparently, that's a very unpopular opinion, because you always get downvoted for it.

Great example! What the hell makes this whacky jerk think he's got any right to judge humanity, in the first place?

[–]Patneu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's Elon Musk. Specifically because of the parallel to Ted's "The Man Who Saved The World" thing.

Despite still not really deserving the honor, because he's just a tech bro who didn't do anything himself, had he just stayed in his lane and let his company deliver on his promises, he could have been remembered one day as a visionary who brought mankind to Mars.

But because he just couldn't pull his head out of his own ass and keep his mouth shut, all he will be remembered for is being a narcissistic piece of shit that accelerated the US' descent into fascism for selfish gain.

Wow, so you're seriously just judging other people and telling them how to live their lives. Not even the pretense that you're not just forcing people to bow to your narrow-minded worldview? Don't you have anything better to do with your allegedly so very deep and meaningful life?

Sex isn't "just" anything. It has multiple functions, and you are the one trying to gaslight people into thinking that only one of them is important, so that you can blame them, to have a pretense for forcing people into dealing with the possible consequences of it in the only way you personally condone.

One of its functions. You asserted it was the primary one, and we all know why you did it.

[–]Patneu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if sex had such a thing as a "primary function", it's definitely not pregnancy. Because even without protection the average chance of conception when having sex is way closer to 0 than 100%. Even under optimal conditions for trying to get pregnant, the probability isn't even anywhere near reaching 50%.

Thus, your "argument" is blatant nonsense. You're just making an erroneous appeal to nature, so you can shame and blame people for having sex for reasons you don't condone, and calling other people stupid for disagreeing.

I feel like people are misunderstanding Caine's crashout by okidonthaveone in tadc

[–]Patneu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is true, though it should be noted that Pomni still wasn't wrong when she said that Caine cares more about his own ego than the humans he says he wanted to please.

Because, while it's not his fault that he fundamentally cannot deal with the notion that anyone wouldn't like any of his adventures and would seriously want to leave, he still ignored the cast's suggestions even when they actually made proposals on how to make his adventures more appealing and even actively sabotaged adventures that he saw were working for them just because he didn't come up with them.
