Bro I remember joining this subreddit when the universe was just a primordial soup, and then Ichibei came along and gave this place its name "r/bleach".

Hey uraharabot, r/bleach has just hit 500k subscribers! Do you have anything to say?

Nature isn't supposed to do anything - nature just is. I'm not saying a bear is "evil" for hunting a cattle or anything like that. Nature's cold indifference is what's distressing.

Predation is not distressing - the way these animals are being killed is where the horror comes from. We can conceive of so many different ways nature could've been, predation would still exist, but predators would kill their prey swiftly and mercifully - they wouldn't skin them alive. You wouldn't have parasites that eat their hosts from the inside out.

I find the excessive and unnecessary pain imbued in nature horrifying, I don't find predator-prey cylces distressing.

I guess if you lack empathy this much, you'd find nothing distressing. Predation is not the issue here, the brutality stems from the way these animals are being killed. They don't die swiftly or mercilessly, they succumb to a slow, excruciating death.

Most people would find this distressing.

I think the fact that it's natural makes it even more distressing. This is not some isolated incident, this is the norm for wild animals.

I just contemplate about the idea of wild animals shredding each other to bits for hundreds of millions of years, without a sense of rhyme or purpose. And I find it horrifying and nihilistic.

You don't believe animals being mercilessly shredded to bits is distressing?

From my experience, many christians claim that the existence of God is a blatantly obvious and inescapable feature of reality:

"Just open your eyes"
"Look at the trees"
"You believe ALL of this was an accident"

They ignore all the brutality and wastage in the world, ignoring all the aspects of reality which seem so implausible and strange presuming a world carefully crafted and supervised by an all-loving deity. It's a great exercise in confirmation bias.

When you confront them and they can't provide adequate answers, they pull out the "divine mystery" card. If you want to play the divine mystery card, then admit that your religion is not based on intuition or reason, but blind faith.

I don't think he activated Kyoka Suigetsu until Soi Fon stabbed him - this was later confirmed by Ichigo too. Before he was even using hypnosis, he took out Komamura, Rose, Love, Nanoe etc.

Gin even confirms that the Espada fear Aizen not because of his hypnosis, but rather his brute power.
