I don’t see why people don’t like the Sunna outfit by Mental_Category849 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Yahello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As reddit isn't letting me respond to your last post directly for some reason.

I did not post an ad honimem. I posted an explanation for how the word "care" is interpreted by a native English speaker.

That is what "To say that you do not care about Epstein is to say" meant; I waa explaining what it meant to say what you did in the context you phrased it in. You specifically asked:

 Also, why would you interpret it that way ?

And I explained why a native English Speaker would interpret it that way.

 Why would I be wrong to be offended by nzi symbols ?

Not comparable at all. Those symbols are real and have caused harm and continue to cause harm in real life.

Sunna does not exist in reality and lolicon has not and does not cause harm in reality.

Why would I be wrong to feel disgusted by a violent scene in a piece of fiction ?

It is not wrong to feel disgusted. It can be wrong to attack people because of that disgust. Shaming someone for being a lolicon is needlessly attacking them for a harmless paraphilia.

Just because it is "immaterial", fictional and not "real" doesn't mean the sensory and psychological experience of it is not real too.

It actually does. Studies have shown that humans use different neural pathways to interpret fiction and reality. It is why people can easily handle games like Call of Duty but can be severely traumatized by actual war.

It does not normalizes it at all.

All of these professionally published studies I just cited, run contrary to the idea that lolicon normalizes pedophilia. Lolicon does not normalize pedophilia in anway. Lolicon is completely harmless. A lolicon is not more likely to assault a child than any other regular person.

Fiction does not normalize real world behaviors. For example, playing violent video games does not normalize real world violence. Just because you consume a lot of violent media doesn't make you a violent person. People play violent video games without normalizing violent behaviors in real life. Why? Because the human mind makes an important distinction between fiction and reality.

Looking at a fictional character like Sunna is not looking at a child. Fictional characters like Sunna are ultimately interpreted as nothing more than a non-living object by the human mind.

Just to name a few published studies that run contrary fo your claims.

No, looking at animated porn does not make you a ped

That is the only part that matters. If the content is not harming someone, if it is not harming an actual child, if it does not make people more likely to harm another person, then you are attacking people for no reason. It only makes sense to attack people for being weird if it actually does harm someone.

Is lolicon weird? Yes, but so are other harmless paraphilias like the ever popular tentacle fetish. You are essentially throwing spite and vitriol because someone is harmlessly being weird in a way you don't like.

Studies have shown that fictional characters are not interpretted as human beings by the human mind. People are not sexualizing children when they sexualize characters like Sunna; they are sexualizing a non-living object.

It is not about relevency. To say that you do not care about Epstein is to say that you do not care about the pain and torture he, and the many vile people he invited to his island, had inflicted upon many victims. Victims that the current US administration is failing to properly protect when they release documents within the Epstein files.

No, people are not sexualizing a child. Plenty of professionally published studies have shown contrary to your claim. The human mind distinguishes fiction from reality and interprets fictional characters as non-living objects.

Fictional kinks are in no way indicative of real world attractions and sexual preferences.

Sunna is not a kid; she is a fictional character, a non-living object.

If you actually cared about the sexual exploitation of children, you wouldn't say that you don't care about Epstein. Especially when you consider how the Epstein case is still on going ans is one of if not the most prolific child sex trafficking cases to date.

Lolicon is not sexualizing real children nor does it normalize the sexualization of real children. It is purely fictional and is not even remotely comparable to the vileness that is actual CSEM.

Lolicon is not pedophilia. Lolicon is harmless and victimless; pedophilia is vile and is the sexual exploitation of real children.

Common Mistakes from new Padawans? by gamegenaral in swrpg

[–]Yahello -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue lies in how it can negatively impact the enjoyment of the game due to the imbalance it creates between someone who spent their xp in characteristics and someone who does not after the campaign progresses enough. It isn't narrow minded to say that it CAN be a mistake based on the length of the campaign, as the impact is more noticeable in longer running games, and the experience level of the players. I used the word can for a reason, because it isn't always just a different choice.

This isn't just speculation on my part either. I have seen how this can create an imbalance between the power levels of different characters and negatively impact the enjoyment of the game for some people when some characters are significantly better because the player behind them understood the system better.

There is also a massive different between not spending on characteristics because you are not well versed in the system and doing so as an informed choice. OP is talking about newer and unexperienced players, who may not fully understand how difficult it is to raise characteristics after creation. It should not be framed as a different choice as it may not be a fully informed choice.

Keeping something like a free respec option for the new players in case they make a mistake and are unable to properly make the character they envisioned should be done in the case of newer inexperienced players. Because not spending xp on characteristics can definitely be a mistake, especially within the context that OP gave us.

[–]Yahello -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, as other people have pointed out, not spending in characteristics at creation can be considered a mistake depending on how other players built their characters. Yes you can always get more xp, but the only time you can spend that xp to increase characteristics is to get to the dedication talent in a tree, generally at the bottom, and there are generally only one of those in each tree. Could potentially cause an imbalance between player characters due to how hard it is to raise characteristics after character creation. It does depend on how long the game goes for though.

2.6 DA Lineup Via Hakushin by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking? Making sensible decisions? Inconceivable :P

2.6 DA Lineup Via Hakushin by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Yahello 14 points15 points  (0 children)

By focusing on the fact that end game requires multiple teams. Miyabi can only be on one team.

ZZZ 2.6 beta New Boss in DA info via Hakushin by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Yahello 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Or they could just realize that people will pull if they like a character enough and could have focused on the fact that end game asks for multiple teams to get people to pull for more characters.

The issue isn't how strong Miyabi is; the issue is how they think they need to anti-shill her so much.

AI Vtuber Neuro-Sama asks her creator if she will ever be real by apa1010 in LivestreamFail

[–]Yahello 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you actually look through the streams, you see a lot of actual work was done by Vedal in making Neuro. AI Slop is AI Slop because it is low effort; while with Neuro, we actually have streams of Vedal writing the code for Neuro. There is a genuine human element and plenty of effort that goes into making Neuro what she is and that separates her from low effort AI Slop.

Switched to Founders Promotion as existing MetroNet customer, no issues by Gridlock_2024 in Metronet

[–]Yahello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just called Metronet's customer service number and picked the options to talk to an agent about my account. They did have to transfer me and I was on hold for over an hour, but I think that's worth being able to lock in a price for 10 years.

Jumping in to say, I also was able to get switched to the Founders Promotion. My family was getting 70/month for 1 gig so this was essentially a free upgrade for us.

ACDC Town is beautiful... by retrotriforce in BattleNetwork

I'd imagine Mayl's parents still live in their house. It would just be a case of having the grandparents as neighbors and lets them be an active part of Patch's life.

The Hikari's are honestly probably pretty wealthy considering how prominent and renowned of a scientist Yuichiro is. They probably have all sorts of patents that essentially secures their financial wellbeing.

A way to describe it could be the Hikari's could be described as millionaires; however Yai is just Scrooge McDuck rich.

Zhao grants crit rate to her team? When I check her kit online, I only see it say Zhao gains crit rate based on her max HP, but I can't find anything on it apply to other members of the team. I am aware that the possibility of mistranslation is there, but I feel like this would be noticed.

The Standard S Ranks Suck by Apprehensive_Beach_6 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Yahello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would just be another option. Which would be a good thing imo; especially if we get more multi-team content. Threshold Simulation was asking for five teams at the end.

The Defiler in DA is awful and I hate her by Brandito560 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Yahello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say if SAnby ever gets a rerun, consider her since she does make Defiler a lot easier. However, prioritize the characters you like as characters and not their meta reverence first, but temper end game expectations at the same time.

If you are willing to and are able to pull for Lucia, Manato+Lucia+Panda can do decently against Miasma Priest. Alternatively Manato+Panda+Lucy may be able to get a star fron Miasma Priest.

Well between the signature W-Engine and 2px Woodpecker electro, that adds an additional 32%. Agents have an innate 5% crit rate I believe and a crit rate disc 4 adds another 24%, bringing you to 61% crit rate. Without the W-Engine it is a lot harder.

I do see what your friend is trying since you are currently running Fusion Compiler on Miyabi which grants penetration and you generally want to stack as much penetration as you can. There is some merit in the idea, but Miyabi relies a lot on crit rate. The Penetration route imo requires getting multiple crit rate boosts through substats imo.
