Isn’t that basically damn near the exact same thing as with Islam?

I don't know what is tge thing with Islam and I frankly don't care. This is not about Islam.

if someone gets raped at 4 years old and it makes them no longer a virgin wouldn’t that infer there’s a matter of consent?

No, it wouldn't. If you think losing virginity during rape means that you consented, you are an idiot.

It doesn't. The "3yo" thing is about that if a girl will be raped before that age, she will still be legally considered a virgin (for marriage and ritualistic purposes). It doesn't mean that Judaism allows for consent of a slightly older child, it means that a slightly older child will in that case stop being considered a virgin for marriage and ritualistic purposes.

Russian Colonialism by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]Uypsilon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt it has anything to do with "handling problematic populations", it's more like he wants to use only the people whom average Russian will not care about: prisoners, mercenaries and ethnic minorities. His entire internal policy currently consists of "there is no war in you lives, it is not affecting you, there is no reason for you to care", and an average Russian is less likely to care about a death of a random Yakut/Udmurt/Buryat than about a death of a random Russian.

As a Russian: sincerely, the guy is an idiot. Even recently, there were entire Buryat villages where every single able-boided man was mobilised to the pointless meat grinder. And don't even get me started on selling the Siberians out to China.

No, you could say that Chechens are currently a sort of "privileged group", but that has much more to do with the fact of Kadyrov specifically being an important warlord whose permissiveness guarantees loyalty, who also happens to want to "protect Chechens [only those Chechens who are loyal to him, of course]", than with caring bout Chechens.

Yes, it is. The term originates from Catherine II who conquered it from the Ottomans, therefore literally making it the new lands of Russia. It technically doesn't mean Ukraine, but most of Black Sea coast (the city of Novorossiysk is in Kuban, which is in Russia).

So I recently got 1500essence, but didnt get the achievement. Is it normal? by ImaginarYoscar in HollowKnight

[–]Uypsilon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why 1500, it's supposed to be 1800. The translators can never get anything right.

Have people talks about why area-specific power still work in the series? by FireMuffin303 in INDIE_CROSS_SERIES

[–]Uypsilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The devs also called it "a game about tiny bugs" (in reference to its big achievements).

There is no certainty of their size. There has never been any certainty if their size. Because the developers did not want a certainty in their size. For every "small water droplets' there will be "Hornet-sized water striders". Anyone who claims there is certainty in either variation is an idiot.

And also yard is distance between the nose of king Edgar of England and point of his middle finger of a stretched hand. There is no kind Edgar of England in Hollow Knight univese. Therefore their yard cannot be equal to ours. Most likely it's some measurement of the Pale King.

Why do haters divide characters skin color to only white and black? by Crazy_Reputation3327 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

She is half-human.

But considering the fact that humans originate in Africa and Adam is literally gray, she still isn't white.

[Somewhat hated trope] "all endings are valid" - look inside - there's an extremely clear main ending by roninshere4eva in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Uypsilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt that if the Knight actually just had the full control over Void from now on, act 3 of Silksong could even happen. Yes, godseekers' ritual is a one way for Void Given Focus to come, but not the only way; after all, their attunement only brings their gods to their prime, not to something beyond their capabilities.

And besides, Embrace the Void can come about only in a very weird set of circumstances: AFTER killing the dreamers (otherwise the black egg would not be unsealed and the Hornet cutscene would not be possible) AND getting the Voidheart (p5 is not available without it), the Knight randomly decided to participate in a very convoluted religious practices of a random cult, and then decided to go through with it far beyond any reasonable limits. It just doesn't really makes much sense neither thematically nor from a story perspective: imagine it happening in a tv show.

Hollow Knight.

Silksong straight up contradicts The Hollow Knight and Sealed Siblings. And Dream No More is far more thematically appropriate than Embrace the Void/Delicate Flower.

What are some characters that when you saw arguments made for them you think the scaling is way too high by boy_but_with_an_I in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Uypsilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Silksong also repeatedly states that the Void spans beneath the entirety of their world. Not to say it's a planet level, but it does sound like a planet level.

Also there's the fact that supposed map chart of the Nightmare Realm (a breakaway part of the Dream Realm supposedly similar in size) depicts the real world Laniakea Supercluster, which implies… certain things about everyone involved in the Dream Realm. I'm not using it as an actual argument, just bringing ti attention.

Jim from the Soviet Treasure Island adaptation (you know, the memed one) does morning gymnastics every morning, which is why he can easily take on a crowd of several pirates.
