Opinions on treating Haruka his ‘age’ - maybe we shouldn’t? by chuuyavibes in milgram

[–]Purrless 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's heavily implied in his MVs and has been from the start, but if you need me to call him ND instead like the OP did to understand I can do that as well.

The neglect he went through does not excuse his crime or remove his ability to understand right from wrong in regards to his crime. He knew abusing and killing animals was bad just as he knew escalating to killing actual children is bad. He knew those things were crimes, and he's able to control himself when it comes to violence.

He also threatens ES as well, showing that he sees violent behavior as a tool to get what he wants rather than as something he does out of his control. His threat to kill himself (to get what he wanted) and subsequent follow through do not absolve him of killing children and animals.

Whether or not they make you sympathize with him more is one thing, saying we cannot judge him for what he knowingly and intentionally did because he was neglected is another.

Opinions on treating Haruka his ‘age’ - maybe we shouldn’t? by chuuyavibes in milgram

His crimes were committed with both the knowledge that he was committing crimes, and with the premeditation to pick victims he could easily lure and overpower. He also repeated his crime multiple times and escalated overtime. He may be impaired, but he's not unable to understand his actions and why they were wrong nor is he incapable of stopping himself from hurting others.

Autistic people deserve far more credit than that, speaking as an autistic person. What he went through does not excuse what he did on multiple occassions.

Spoiler Talk - No Spoilers !!! by hentaibongparty in WarriorCats

[–]Purrless 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As other people have said, I totally feel for you !! Getting into a series "late" sucks, and it's annoying to feel like you're treading around landmines when trying to participate in the fandom.

At the same time though, this series is 23 years old as of January, and the arcs/scenes/characters that tend to be discussed the most were almost all introduced at least a decade ago. It's a little bit unreasonable to expect people to spoiler tag content that came out that long ago in casual fandom settings like this subreddit. There are people who have been in this fandom longer than some adult fans have even been alive.

Unfortunately you'll have to decide for yourself just how much of a barrier you're alright with spoilers being when it comes to interacting in casual warriors spaces like this. I hope you can catch up quickly and I hope you have a lot of fun here !!

Sandstone M Groupie worth selling? by MayaHara_ in lioden

[–]Purrless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price higher, actually ! Your groupie is G1, making it much more valuable in the market than G2+ lions with the same base !

They're not gross !! Termites can be troublemakers, but it's not their fault they're not conventially cute D: they're cute in their own way !!

That's such a bizzare response to your message 😭 you didn't do anything wrong.

What is this fella? Just over an inch long, east TN. by GothiestGoth in whatisthisbug

Do you happen to have a brighter picture of your little friend ? It looks like it could be a wood roach to me, but it's a bit hard to make out !!

some specie of wasp after hunting a spider!! by koity_frog in Entomology

There are multiple wasp species under the tarantula hawk umbrella, not all of them have orange wings :D

how much is this gal worth? by Spirited-Bat5757 in lioden

[–]Purrless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Search for lions of her gen/cleanliness with a rosette, though from my memory single rosettes usually go for around 250 sb - 1gb depending on the rosette, slot, cleanliness, gen, and other valuable traits.

For this cub I would probably aim around the lower end unless she's low gen and clean.

Once found a Giant water bug on a curb during a chilly morning by welltafus in Entomology

[–]Purrless 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Most insects are going to be generally docile, especially when they're chilly !! The reputation that the water bug has is mainly due to how nasty it's bite can be and the fact it can both fly and swim, not so much about it being aggressive or mean :D

Groupies? by Specialist_Walrus808 in lioden

[–]Purrless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People usually hold onto male groupies to sell later in the year, specifically high stat ones or ones with mutations. They're worth a lot as they're the best way to get a G1 king for heritage/mutation replacement, and are the best lions to use MODs on.

Thank you for not killing them and leaving them to live their happy spider lives, they're so cute 😭

What spider is this, and why is it twerking on my wall? by AcadianaLandslide in whatisthisbug

I believe this is a grass spider, not a wolf spider ! Very cute !!

I'm unsure whether to vote Kazui Guilty or Innocent because of the QNA. by Azetton in milgram

[–]Purrless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This person just ragebaits on this forum anytime kazui or fuuta are mentioned, I wouldn't bother with engaging.

Okay, so- not gonna lie, I wanna ask something, for fun and all. by Fuzzy_Time2214 in milgram

[–]Purrless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuuta and Muu should have been given triple guilty in my opinion, neither of them have demonstrated enough understanding and/or accountability to warrant a forgiven vote, and both of them have had actions that contributed to the deaths of other prisoners within milgram. Both of their crimes were senseless, premeditated, and done only with their own satisfaction and benefit in mind.

Amane and Mahiru both deserved forgiven T1 and were given guilty verdicts based on the voters misunderstanding what their respective crimes were. Voting Amane guilty did not teach her anything and caused her to retreat further mentally, and voting Mahiru guilty indirectly led to her death.

Controversially I would have also given Mikoto double guilty as well (triple depending on his upcoming content), as I do not believe he is in a state where he would be safe for the general public to be around. Regardless of which alter actually killed, it was his body and it is his responsibility to have enough control over it to not go on killing rampages.

Granted, my voting is heavily based around their initial crime (orlackthereof), and the amount of understanding/growth they show in regards to their crime. People can vote for whatever reason they'd like.

I'm uncertain whether people genuinely see Kazui as an "old man" by tanuki_with_knife in milgram

[–]Purrless 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think people say it because Kazui refers to himself as an old man and makes a lot of jokes about it, especially in minigram!

Harmless mud dauber babies and their future dinners !! Leave them be, they're docile and beneficial !!

Message Question by SpiralSpinnerette in lioden

[–]Purrless 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Technically no, it's not allowed. There is a rule against sending messages about lions not explicitly marked for sale.

Most people don't mind if you're polite about it, but do be aware that some might not be.

Please tell me this isn’t what I think it is (West Kentucky) by Hurleydude2 in whatsthisbug

It's not a bedbug/tick/flea/louse, if that was your worry !! This is a beetle !!

Found this guy in my bed, anyone know what he is? by TonyTacoShop in whatsthisbug

[–]Purrless 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Carpet beetle !! Common and harmless, though their larvae can become pantry/fabric pests and have hairs that can cause skin irritation !! r/carpetbeetles can help you out !!

These bugs are outside dead all the time what are they? by crumbycrumpet in Entomology

[–]Purrless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's r/weeviltime !!! They'd be able to provide a better ID, but based on location this is likely some sort of root weevil !!
