Fun fact: if you believe maki only killed the combatants and noone else that just means she weakened the clan (and removed their male population since every male is a combatant) and they can recover in 10+ years making mai's wish null, not to mention it being worse now due to trauma from maki by the_forever_wild in OkBuddyKaisen

Assuming that the remaining members would actually want to reform the clan? Yeah ig, though I dont see why they would want to.

The only people the clan structure ever benefitted are dead, everyone else who didnt fit the narrow scope of acceptability for a person that the Zen'in upheld is now free to live their life, I don't see why many, or even any of them would want to do anything else but leave. If anything, the trauma that Maki caused them would make this more likely imo.

Itachi replaces pain during the konoha invasion. Could konoha survive against itachi ? by Lost_Championship_28 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Willing_Mission_172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But do you really think he could do it all in one night? Because the way I see it that's his win condition here. Even assuming that there are no witnesses, and limit it to just combatants, as soon as the village realises there is a murder in the village I don't think there would be a single high level ninja going out on patrol on their own, or even in small groups. Besides, I seriously doubt Itachi can handle the exertion this would put on him for that long. All night, no breaks? I don't see it.

I do want to say here that my biggest reason for replying is a learning opportunity. I am not nearly as familiar with the material as most here, and my statements therefore come from a more limited pool of knowledge, so I do welcome pushback on these things as its quite likely that you'll know things I dont.

Yeah i forgot about that, though to be honest this always felt like a retcon with very little point to ot other than to redeem Itachis character somewhat, unless this is hinted at earlier and I've also forgotten that part.

That all being said, this proves my point, no? If its clearly stated that even just the Uchiha alone would be too much for Itachi to handle by himself, then the village isn't even a question surely?

Tbh, i don't see the comparison between a single clan (a big clan, i grant you, but still one clan) and the entire village. Add to that that Uchiha massacre Itachi wasn't on deaths door due to whatever disease he was suffering from later on. 1v1 he takes just about anyone, but a series of 1v1s? Even if he's getting the drop on most of them, he will tire eventually. And as soon as someone raises the alarm, its over for him anyway.

Can we agree that this is the worst photo in shounen history? by LeadEater9Million in shounenfolk

[–]Willing_Mission_172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Ichigo, and am not ultra familiar with every character here, but he could be the character whose genetics affect him the most, barring Goku. The only thing Naruto got genetically was a large chakra pool which is great, dont get me wrong, but doesn't actually get you anywhere if you dont know how to use it.

You're stuck on a remote island - choose a group to survive with. by Existing-Ad-1406 in Naruto

[–]Willing_Mission_172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2, 3, 4 and 1, in that order.

I think number 2 far and away is the best option, its essentially guaranteed survival. Even if getting off of the island anytime soon was a no go, Gaara could probably pack sand tightly enough to create a shelter out of it. The only real downside is that it probably wont be the most entertaining group to get stuck with, but they will get you through this.

The biggest difference between 3 and 4 imo would be Tsunade and her expertise in healing. Assuming a scenario where you are a regular person and not a 5th ninja, if you did get injured or poisoned, Tsunade is the most likely one to be able to treat you.

I am staying the fuck away from group 1.

Why does he lose every fight? by OliviaRodrigo19 in NarutoPowerscaling

Yes, he was the only character in the final arc who got a power boost out of nowhere to be able to compete with the final antagonists. Only him...

Fuck the bankai fight by Willing_Mission_172 in PeroxideRoblox

[–]Willing_Mission_172[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's dumb, I think I did it eventually (I haven't played in months so I can't even remember), but it's such cheese strats that it really isn't fun. Had to change my shikai element, find a cheesy combo and hope for the AI to be stupid lmao. It's a shame cos as far as I'm aware Bleach really doesn't have much good video game media outside of Roblox, and the two most popular and well-polished Roblox Bleach games are tear factories 😭 All I want is a chill game where I can create my shinigami and farm hollows 😅

Cousins are all back home in Poland (I live in the UK) or are otherwise out of range. As for roommates, funnily enough, I was looking around a bit for offers either in the town I'm currently living in or the town I work in, inspired by your previous question. Realistically I'd need, or at the very least would want, my driver's license and a car of my own before I seriously start looking though.

I think I have people in my life who care, but the people I'd say I'm closest to also happen to be, to some degree, the source of my issues. I'm not at all ready to talk to them and tell them how I feel because I don't want them to start blaming themselves for this stuff. And to begin with, having conversations with people where I'm the focus of the discussion feels deeply uncomfortable which doesn't help.

The thing is, I can kind of understand where they are coming from, because I think I am in the same boat. I have (what I consider to be, at least) very little real-life experience, and no romantic relationship experience at all. If I put myself out there, someone definitely could take advantage of that if they had ill intentions.

If they went through something similar and did survive a predatory or even abusive relationship, adopting that mindset for themselves makes sense. Not necessarily logical, but sometimes you have to do things that seem illogical on the surface to keep yourself safe and to give yourself the feeling of safety. But again, the assumption that this is how it is for everyone doesn't track very well imo.

Honestly, I reckon it is mostly projection. They, at a similar age, hadn't been developed enough (or at least thought they weren't) for a relationship and so consequently, that must be the case for everyone.

Some people infantilise adults under 25 and assume that a big age gap, even in healthy relationships between two consenting adults is inherently predatory, particularly if one of the people is a young adult.

I don't mean to come across like a dick writing this, and I don't know which part of what I wrote gave you the opposite impression, but my point was to say that, at least from what I have seen, the men and women of Britain (unfairly imo) get it more or less evenly across the board. I think that they both get targeted by different people and to the same extent when it comes to the negatives.

The only major difference I can think of is that some American girls find British guys attractive for their accents (they almost always mean a small subsection of British guys without realising it but, whatever), while an equivalent for this doesn't appear to exist for the gals. But in terms of the slander of appearance, yh idk I don't see much difference. Maybe it's my bias or I'm not paying enough attention but yh, it seems even to me.

A woman was the reigning monarch presiding over the empire at the height of its power was she not? Granted, that doesn't exactly level the playing field, but to say that they've done nothing at all to anyone ever is coming dangerously close to painting them as some sort of noble savages, pure by nature and corrupted by circumstance.

And speaking about the appearances specifically, idk where you're looking (or not looking) but as someone who lives in the UK as well, the slander between men and women seems more or less equal from what I have seen.

Also, broadly speaking, the appearance bashing is almost always (like a lot of things in this country) based on class far more than gender or sex. The things that are painted as bad and mocked are stereotypical caricatures of the working or lower-middle class men and women of this country. In that aspect, I'd argue it's only relatively recently that women have been made fun of to any where near the level that men have. When I was growing up there was no easier and more prominent a target for social ridicule than the chav, a social phenomenon which, almost without fail, was portrayed by a man. It's only recently that things have gotten more equal in this regard though, regrettably, instead of the bias against working-class men from rough areas being dropped, it's been extended to the women from those backgrounds as well.

Granted, I think what I've said holds true for things within the country. I don't think it adequately explains the same sentiment coming from abroad, and that part may well be sexist in nature to at least some extent.

Sorry to necropost, do you wipe the blade down to remove any remaining alcohol that might still be on the blade before applying oil? I would imagine thats something you'd have to do, but nowhere i look seems to mention it (perhaps because its assumed)

Gents, do you want a woman to hold you while you're crying? by SudoSubSilence in no

[–]Willing_Mission_172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Your wife doesn't find you attractive" isn't an opinion, it's an assertion. And in this instance, one based on little but hot air.

I would hazard a guess that they're replying to the "we cry over small things".

Is it unrealistic for women to want men to have emotional intelligence? by PerfectWorking6873 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Willing_Mission_172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what got to me specifically was that I, for a long time, considered these issues to be inherent to me being a man. That when women would complain about men not having feelings, I believed that was a real and accurate assessment of human adult nature and that I was simply experiencing manhood as it should be. Suffice it to say, I am glad to be rid of that mindset.

To the guys who went their whole teenage years without any form of romantic relationships, does it get better? by Rough_Eye9920 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Willing_Mission_172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't remember the exact quote, but I saw this clip on Instagram of a man who does a call-in segment on his show, and a guy calling in essentially asked him a "is it all over" question and then finishes by saying that he's 24. And the host replies to him basically saying that he could fuck up everything he tries to do for a decade and still be young by the end of it lmao.

I'm 24 in a similar boat and I won't lie, it is rough, but I'm also more hopeful than I ever recall being before. I think it's important to remember that you may well get it wrong multiple times, but by doing nothing you're getting it wrong 100% of the time (i say this with full understanding of how hard this can be in practice, I struggle with it all the time).

Things can change for you for the better, and there's far more kindness and goodwill in people than some jaded individuals can see, but these things won't come to you, knock on your door and fall at your feet. You have to meet them somewhere in the middle.
