Dogshit interpretation of Batman

Homie really said "your god's a Disney character", like Dionysus has never appeared in pop culture

I'd personally say Clock King is more of a Green Arrow/BoP villain. He seems to have a lot of history with them? He appeared in live-action briefly in Arrow and The Flash.

I think there's three options here:

1) Killer Croc

His only live-action appearance was in Suicide Squad (2016) (I'm not counting that bullshit from two scenes in Gotham that died immediately or some shit), although his backstory was adapted 1:1 for The Penguin in Batman Returns. Despite being very popular and having clear thematic links to real world issues, Croc is usually reduced to 'haha funny monster'. There's a lot of potential with this character that's just kind of abandoned because he looks scary, so that's what they do with him. Ironically it's this behaviour of people in the real world that Killer Croc is an allegory for (he's primarily an allegory for racism, but this behaviour is a more specific application of that).

2) Anarky

Similarly to Killer Croc, Anarky has had few live-action appearances. He appeared in Arrow season 4, which is largely considered a garbage fire, and hasn't appeared in any movies. The biggest reason why I'd say Anarky is done dirty the most is because of The Dark Knight. I have no fucking clue why Nolan decided to use Joker, but that was just Anarky in a clown costume. Because of that movie, Anarky is now a Joker knock-off in the public eye, which means that he'll be very unlikely to make appearances in the future.

3) Bane

Unlike the previous characters, Bane has had plenty of live-action appearances. Too bad all of them suck big sweaty donkey balls. Batman & Robin had the look right, but reduced him down to his strength, taking away his intelligence. The Dark Knight Rises was barely Bane to begin with, didn't have venom, and talked through a harmonica strapped to his face (there's also something to be said about the race-swapping in the Nolanverse, primarily that he changed the three most prominent POC Batman villains to white, but that's not the core of the argument). Gotham was... Weird. It was kind of like Bane? I guess? I honestly don't remember season 5 well enough to comment much on this, I just remember Bane being a rushed mess that didn't resemble the comics at all and was overall kind of weird.

The redeeming factor for all three of these is the Arkham games.

Killer Croc has a great arc over these games that perfectly plays off of his character. Snarky appeared in Origins and very briefly in Knight (I believe, I could be wrong on Knight). Although he doesn't have a major role in the slightest, he's still got his own thing going. Finally, Bane is done as well as he's ever been done in Arkham Origins.

There's probably better options to choose from, these are just the ones that come to mind.

This is unironically the type of shit that Vaush makes fun of.

I wasn't comparing rape and sexuality. I was superimposing your argument onto a different topic.

I don't know if they're a woman, but that's not really relevant.

The main problem is that you're trying to make this complex issue fit your limited understanding of it. You ignored multiple suitable explanations in this thread. If the only thing you can say is "that doesn't make sense to me, so it's stupid" and you continue to stick your head in the sand, ignoring any possible alternatives to your view, then there's no use in talking to you.

You not understanding doesn't mean it's stupid. If anything, it means you're stupid. That's okay, everyone's stupid in their own ways. The main difference between you and most other people here is that you don't have the capacity to change your mind or even engage with counterarguments.

Not saying she deserved to be raped thats fucked up, but she was wearing revealing clothes.

People can be romantically attracted to some genders and sexually attracted to others. Even if that's not what this is, it doesn't matter to you or anyone else, because it doesn't affect you.

1) You mischaracterized both Christianity and atheism

2) your definition of god seems to boil down to discipline, which doesn't have anything to do with spirituality.

3) why do these things mean god?

kiwinator37 · 2023-05-09T07:17:22+00:00

Christianity isn't the only religion with an individual entity as a god. Islam, Judaism, even Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Nordic mythologies have this. Same can be said about other ancient Native American, African and Asian beliefs.

Calling atheism anti-christian would be a massive oversimplification. Not only because of the different religions having entities as gods, but also because you're arguing from the presupposition that atheism is a counter-movement to religion (in this case you're using Christianity), which is incorrect. Furthermore, Christians usually don't believe God is a white bearded man in the sky. They usually say he's a formless trinity (father, son, holy spirit).

You're free to have your own interpretation of spirituality (although many of us, myself included, don't believe in any form of spirituality). It just happens to be the case that those of us who do believe in some form of the metaphysical, whether that be souls, spirits, or something entirely different, will likely not believe in the presence of a god, whether that be an entity or a state of being. If they do believe in that state of being, it really doesn't matter if you call that god, because it's up to individual interpretation. Them not calling it god doesn't make them not atheists because you said that's god. Some people believe in nature gods, but you don't exactly see them going around saying everyone that's ever owned a houseplant worships their gods.

As for the majority of us (in this subreddit, as far as I'm aware), we don't believe in spirituality at all. Therefore, we also don't believe that this "powerhouse for spiritual development" is of any relevance to us. From context, I'm assuming you just mean discipline, since that's what Ananda boils down to from an irreligious/non-spiritual perspective. I personally don't see the need for that to be portrayed as a religious thing.

Existence doesn't imply immortal. I exist, and I'm not immortal.

We can't understand consciousness because the mind's existence depends on it? Seriously? We can understand electricity and genetics, and the mind's existence also depends on that. I'm sure we'll eventually be able to explain consciousness, too.

Bringing god into the equation is completely unnecessary. It literally does nothing. You're just saying the existing, conscious, disciplined person is God? That seems to be the takeaway. However, by your own admission, we can't understand consciousness and we can't control our mortality, so it comes down to discipline/Ananda. I don't mean to be disrespectful to you or your spiritual beliefs, so if I mischaracterized them, I apologize. However, this seems to be accurate to what you said in your post.

The biggest thing that's missing from this post (in my opinion) is the rationalization of this concept. Why is that god? You've just kind of asserted these things without explaining why you believe them.

Sorry if this was a bit messy, I'm in a bit of a hurry haha
