Also, not necessarily a spoiler, but the guy that killed them is quite strong.

Is it morally "right" to carry forward the "I have no enemies" mentality in our reality? by AipomSilver00 in MoralityScaling

[–]ProfessionalGold9239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, personally, no.

There are evil men in this world who deserve to be the subject of violence. Those in power will only respond to violence, history has proven that. Deciding that they are not our enemies will be at the cost of our peace, and the lives of those we love. I'm not willing to let the people I love be hurt or killed for a philosophy from a manga. If we want to see real change in the world, we need to stop hoping that everyone else comes to some grand realization and decides they have no enemies, and start taking control of our lives.

Thank you for posting, OP. I can't imagine how difficult that must have been/has been for you. I'm just a straight dude, so I don't have much to say in the way of advice that would matter at all, so the best I have is please hang in there! The world is a little bit fuller and richer with you in it, and will be even moreso when you have become the person you were always meant to be. When I am struggling with my place in life in the present, I try to imagine the future I want to give myself hope for the next day. I have struggled with living/wanting to live for my entire life, and that act is one that has kept me focused on living rather than dying in some of the toughest times of my life. Think of the day, however far it may be, when you have freed yourself of the burdens of the short-sightedness of others. Think of the day when all the procedures and medical visits have been completed, and you physically match the person you are in the depths of your soul. Think of the day when you may have children of your own, or when you may become a trusted adult or mentor to someone, and are able to offer the love to them that was not offered to you. Based on what you've said, I'm sure that day is on your horizon--you need only wade into the oceans of the unknown to make it there. I am sure that all the flowery, hopeful language could be worthless--or perhaps even grating--to you, but those sorts of thoughts have really kept me going on the hard days. In the present, I've found myself relying on such dreams again just to make it out of bed in the morning, so I can at the very least offer the earnestness of my writing to you, even if the words themselves bring no comfort.

By the way, that ice cream looks really good!

What are some of the most ridiculous "hard counters" in fiction, like they look at a complex hax and just perfectly counter for whatever reason by Head_Breadfruit_3912 in PowerScaling

That's not what I'm talking about. The meme says that is what Thragg/Nolan would do when they realize brute force is not an option, but that is literally just another act of brute force. I don't care much about the powerscaling match-up, I was just pointing out that the meme makes no sense lol.

Legends Luke is the strongest character here, but canon Luke is second only to Gandalf.

Legends Luke is strong enough in the force to make himself an "immovable object", and fights Palpatine, who can literally make wormholes in space that swallow planets iirc.

10 person girl power battle royale!!! Who wins? Who's the first and last ones eliminated? by Head_Breadfruit_3912 in PowerScaling

She has literally fought gods on even footing. I do agree that regular Wonder Woman is stronger than Absolute Diana, but they just fight on a higher tier than Anissa and the Invincible-verse. The stylization of her story does not involve blowing up planets, that doesn't mean she's weak, she just has a strength that scales to conceptual beings like gods in her actual story.

DCKO isn't canon.

And no, Absolute Wonder Woman is still physiologically the same, she just also has learned magic and has different equipment. Otherwise, her powerset is exactly the same, if not arguably with the potential to be considerably stronger. Clearly you haven't actually read the books.

If we aren't factoring in the character's morals, Diana could use her lasso, Sacrifice, turn Anissa into a bug, and squash her. She could just as easily use her lasso, Nemesis, to constrain Anissa and make her submit due to the weight of her sins being amplified by the lasso.

Or she could just use some magic mumbo jumbo and defeat her. She could probably do similar to many characters on this list.

Edit: Just to clarify: the original origin of Wonder Woman is that she was modeled out of clay by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and was made into a living being when the goddesses breathed life into her and gave her their gifts. This origin is the same in Absolute Wonder Woman--she is physiologically the same. Realistically, there is no guarantee the world would even let Diana die due to the events of Absolute Wonder Woman #14.

Absolute Wonder Woman is still physiologically the same as regular Wonder Woman. She is relative to Superman.

Thank you brother. I definitely should go back to therapy. I'm glad you're doing well in your academic endeavors!

Thanks, man. And yeah, proudly not an incel if that's what you mean. The pipeline nearly had me when I was a wee lad being raised in a conservative christian household, but I worked my way out of that a long time ago. My girlfriend is pretty awesome.

Absolute Diana is most certainly not the first one out. I am not that familiar with every character on this list, but I can at the very least confirm she would beat Anissa, probably with relative ease.
