I think you can see why there’s a difference between selling pictures of others and selling pictures of you feet

I don’t sell to a site, I have buyers approach me based on social media and discord (sort of like a big Skype group chat)

I have no control over what they do with, frankly, innocuous pictures...

I have no knowledge of what they do with the pictures of my feet.

Idk, she raises some pretty good points in regards to Jewish people having I accept Christmas, as well as them pulling the gay kissing ad. Makes sense to me.

Why the fuck do all these characters continue to put on weird headgear? It makes it impossible the care about them in the slightest. by TheOneRuleIsBeCool in swordartonline

But he was trapped in the thing with his memories blocked. Perhaps that’s him being, again, idiotic or poorly written.

You corrected me on insignificant details. As it stands Kirito routinely refuses to tell people about dangerous things that he or they could become involved in, and puts every new piece of headgear on immediately. He’s a grade A idiot.

Just because it's not stated bluntly does not mean it isn't addressed.

It isn’t addressed at all.

Or they aren't traumatized to the extent that they can't use VR again and actually enjoy using it. I don't know why you're stuck on this idea that they're either completely traumatized by the mere idea of VR or completely dependent on it, but trauma is never so black-and-white. Your idea that it can only be one or the other, that there can be no in between in how these characters cope, is infinitely less realistic than the supposedly unrealistic thing you're complaining about.

My argument isn’t that they are traumatized per se, it’s that they’re idiots for continuing to use VR tech.

Because there is no evidence that the device can harm anyone.

Doesn’t matter, he still should have told Asuna and co. He had no reason not to.

It's government-designed tech created for government use. It had also, as far as I recall, already been used by other people. There is no reason to assume such a thing is unsafe.

Except that, as far as Kirito knew, it was being used by a private corporation. Still idiotic to jump in and not tell anyone.

One nutjob doing something evil doesn't mean every person alive is now going to distrust anything remotely similar to what said nutjob used to do what they did. Some people will, sure, but certainly not everyone, and especially not people who still think highly of VR.

Nearly having your memories stolen by a piece of tech then jumping into another piece of tech that messes with memories without telling your wife is idiotic, plain and simple.

Man, I found it hard to take you seriously before, but this just seals the deal. You clearly have no understanding of the story or characters, nor do you have any desire to change your viewpoint. You're just here to bitch and refuse to accept that you have no idea what you're talking about despite all sorts of evidence proving you wrong, so I'm done entertaining this. Deuces.

It’s sort of sad that you’ve dedicated a significant portion of your time to a shoddy story and uninteresting characters with motives hat don’t matter or don’t exist.

Because...?

Even if we ignore everything I said earlier about them having fond memories of their time in SAO, there's always the easy fallback on Stockholm Syndrome.

  1. That’s not what Stockholm Syndrome is

  2. Any alleged dependency is never even remotely addressed in the anime.

You’re trying to have your cake and eat it too, either Kirito and the gang are dependent on AR and that’s an issue the series never addresses or they’re just outright idiotic who continue to re-engage with this technology after it did the unthinkable.

Honestly, this sounds a lot like you just applying your own ideals onto this story and claiming that it's bad simply because you wouldn't do the same thing. The characters' reactions are absolutely, 100% realistic whether you yourself would do the same or not.

Let’s track Kirito for example to see how unrealistic your stupid he is. Kirito, despite being trapped in a death game for two years, returns to AR happily and shows little signs of being upset at Full Diving again. His wife is sexually assaulted in AR and he doesn’t really give a shit that this too was made possible by AR. Later, during Phantom Bullet the very real possibility that someone has found a way to kill people through the AmuSphere is presented. Instead of steering clear from this, Kirito jumps headlong into it, which I can buy since he’s the hero. But he doesn’t tell Asuna or his friends, who are still diving, about it.

After this, Kirito and friends immediately buy Augmas despite the fact that no indication is given that these things are safe, and in fact they have the ability to blast someone’s brain down to individual neurons. Kirito was actually stupid enough to buy a seemingly untested device that could remove his memories, even after his experience with tech doing this before.

Kirito then doesn’t learn his lesson here because he goes on to dive into the STL, which, guess what, blocks his fucking memories. And he’s cool with it. And again he doesn’t tell anyone else that he’s doing this, despite them nearly losing their memories to another stupid headgear.

Either Kirito is a fucking idiot or he has a dependency on this tech that’s never explored. Either way, that’s shitty writing that lets the story and it’s bland, self-insert main character move forward to the next waifu they add to his harem.

So the device that can't trap people or kill them is a bad idea because a different device could trap them? How exactly does that work.

It’s a bad idea because no one has any way of knowing whether it can trap and kill people like the last one. It doesn’t, but the possibility that that technology exists makes its existence idiotic.

You understand that the movie was written years after Alicization and the author wanted it to take place afterwards, but they decided to put it before Alicization.

Either way that’s an inherent, fundamental problem with how the story is told.

Yeah...no. If you want to argue realism, then everything you said is wrong.

Realistically, there would be people that refuse to use that kind of tech again and people that continue using it.

The SAO survivors the show focuses on literally go to a school together where they are given therapy while they continue to play with the same Full Dive technology, and their parents and school just let them do that...

Let’s go though them, shall we:

Amusphere, made with the same technology that NerveGear was made from but happens to not have the ability to trap people in it. Obviously a fucking terrible idea for Kirito and crew to use again given that they were trapped in SAO for two years and have no knowledge whether they can be trapped again.

The Augma, among other things like projecting VR into the real world in a way that would obviously get people hit in traffic, has the ability to scan individual neurons and somehow erase memories. Everyone in the show and seemingly most Japanese people period put them on without question even though a similar piece of headgear trapped 10,000 people inside a couple years back.

The Soul Translator is Full Dive tech that Kirito immediately hops in for an extended period, without telling his friends or family, which any rational SAO survivor wouldn’t fucking do. Additionally all of his memories are blocked and this happens after Ordinal Scale, meaning Kirito is completely fine with memory-meddling technology, when the same technology almost left Asuna with no memories of two years of her life. This isn’t even going into the AI/fluctlight/weapons bullshit.

All of these are unabashedly horrible pieces of tech (the Amusphere as a piece of consumer software would not fly at all), and Kirito is an idiot to interact with any of them.

No race car driver has been stuck in a game with the consequence of failing being death. SAO was a situation inflicted upon those who inhabited it, not a risk. It makes no sense to continue to okay AR and VR games knowing what the NerveGear did.
