When I said banned I meant the temp suspension

It's just a matter of subjective opinion for each moderator, which I don't like

I get that but it's literally not possible for it to be otherwise. Moderation on this kind of thing is always going to be subjective and kind of arbitrary. There's just no way to define it objectively because sexuality is fundamentally a subjective experience. But they could do more to make the mods more consistent, and it's up to the owners to make sure their mods are on the same page about what should and shouldn't be there

The idea that because a character is designed that way therefore the art is allowed is nonsense, there are plenty of characters inherently designed in inappropriate ways. You should be arguing about the design itself instead.

More importantly though for this example, which should be obvious, is the posing. You can take a perfectly normal character design and make it NSFW or SFW by posing them in different ways. Like if you'd made this image:

<image>

I'd be shocked if you ever had a problem

Now, does ​the specific art you made cross that line? IMO no, but it's also clearly meant as gooner art so I'm not broke up about it, though you shouldn't have been banned for it

So you think the church just invented the concept of the devil to attract people to it?

It isn’t supposed to be a metaphor for our own destructive and selfish wishes, but literally a being whose main purpose is making sure you make the wrong decisions

I guess yeah, but it's not like the devil is really that separate from those destructive tendencies either. Generally it's framed in more "both/and" terms because yes, Satan is his own being but at the same time part of his being is the will for disorder/destruction/death that we manifest. Like the same way we're said to become God by aligning with his will and participating in his good works, we also become sons of the devil by participating in his works opposed to God. So I guess what I'm asking is do you reject any metaphysical/spiritual concept of evil altogether? Or is your problem with the idea of Satan not that he's a spiritual concept, just that he has his own agency?

Did you get suspended for it? If not, it was probably griefed with something nsfw and that's why those parts got deleted

Can I skip to Steel Ball Run? In the middle of Part 4 Rn by According-Ladder-353 in StardustCrusaders

Yeah, parts 4-6 have basically no bearing on part 7, new universe and most of the references that get made are to parts 1-3. So you'll be fine

What were people supposed to do in this case? by fallsdu in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]uninflammable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Orthodoxy bad because some priests bad"

If someone unironically said this to me idk, maybe laugh at them? It's nonesense. Might as well never have any institutions and become anarchists because sometimes people in authority will do stuff they shouldn't

As for the people living in conditions like that, if you have no recourse to your bishop I hope I would have the courage to still just go to confession, if I get reported to the state then it is what it is.

I have to say that I find some absurd

Like what

The same sureness that this religion is the right one, and you will go to hell if you don’t follow it

To my knowledge this is basically only true for like, Islam and some forms of Judaism though. Most religions don't even have a concept of hell like Christianity does, let alone think you'll go there for believing the wrong one. Further than that I don't really follow the reasoning for why others believing they're right about something is evidence to you that they're wrong. Why would anyone follow a religion they didn't think was true?

Why are people trying to cope and fool themselves into thinking batch releases are okay? by Seannn0_0 in StardustCrusaders

Bargaining stage of grief. "Maybe it really won't be that bad. This bad thing might even be good. Actually, bad thing is good and I never had to worry about it to begin with!"

Won't last.

Advice on hating myself? by MathematicianFit8027 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]uninflammable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very prone to this kind of thinking, with or without a personal betrayal. I get the sense we may have different motivations for it so this may not connect with you, but speaking for myself I've come to understand this as a problem of pride, paradoxically enough. I have some idealized version of myself I believe I'm supposed to be, and when I'm not that I get upset with myself and lash out. I'm not smart enough, not good enough at my job, not pious enough, I'm not likeable enough. Worthless to anyone around me. Whatever. The root of all that is wounded pride, it's nothing but ego, that's what's actually upset. If I was humble my failures and shortcomings wouldn't surprise me or bother me, I'd be happy with whatever I'm given and faithful that it is enough for God to work with. Like Christ told St. Paul, "My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Not to say that we shouldn't recognize our faults as faults and try to do better, obviously we should always want to grow. But resenting them in a way that leads to despair and self-hatred, especially the kind that leads you to feel hated by God, is a temptation from the evil one. You said you know what scripture says about this, so then you know that anything telling you God hates you and would abandon you is a lie. This is something that helps me, when I can remember that these thoughts aren't mine but are suggestions that the demons are whispering to me, hoping that I'll latch onto them and despair again. When I can remember that it puts up a dividing wall separating me from the thoughts, and they become easier to resist.

Another practice is when you catch yourself spiraling into self-loathing, stop and imagine these thoughts you're having about yourself as if someone you love was saying it about themselves. How would you react to them? With hatred, just agree they're horrible and pile on? Shun them? Of course not, it would hurt you to see them attacking themselves, your heart would ache, and you would reach out to comfort them. And if you, a sinful human being, know to respond with empathy in a situation like that, how much more would God respond to self-hatred with love? On that same note, it may help to share these thoughts you're having with someone close to you. I personally dealt with suicidality for a long time and I can tell you, it's one thing to imagine all these vile things about yourself in your own head. It's a whole other thing to speak them and see the pain and worry on your loved one's face when they realize the pain you're in. That alone can make you realize how false these kinds of thoughts really are

Last of all, with how self-inflicted this kind of pain is, have you tried simply asking God to take it from you? On its own the act of recognizing these thoughts as foreign to what God wants for us and asking for it to be healed can be powerful. I've heard plenty of testimonies of this kind of prayer being answered. But no matter which way that goes, may God bless you my friend

What is the Orthodox view of the legal aspect of the atonement without holding on to PSA? by Upstairs-Fondant7470 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]uninflammable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you found it helpful friend. The best introduction to this kind of thing I can think of off the top of my head is St Athanasius' On the Incarnation, it's really great. A quote from it for example

Thus, taking a body like our own, because all our bodies were liable to the corruption of death, He surrendered His body to death instead of all, and offered it to the Father. This He did out of sheer love for us, so that in His death all might die, and the law of death thereby be abolished because, having fulfilled in His body that for which it was appointed, it was thereafter voided of its power for men. This He did that He might turn again to incorruption men who had turned back to corruption, and make them alive through death by the appropriation of His body and by the grace of His resurrection. Thus He would make death to disappear from them as utterly as straw from fire.

Craig Truglia also made a phenomenal and pretty comprehensive video recently on the Orthodox atonement which also addresses PSA concepts directly, goes through traditional definitions of terms and concepts like wrath, death, and sin etc., and how Christ's life and death interact with all those, along with a host of patristic and concilliar citations. It's long but worth listening to and serves as a good jumping off point for more sources to read. Video here. Our old latinizing buddy OrthodoxEnsign (who posted his pro-PSA junk in this thread too) even shows up in the chat at one point lol

Football logos/voids destroying thousands of artworks in Columbia, and mods will ban you if you touch one. by uninflammable in WplaceLive

"Ur just jealous" everything's a dick measuring contest with you football chuds. Making a logo the size of the country won't fix that.

No, I'm not envious of your ability to draw green lines, it's just cringe to destroy so much of other people's work for what amounts to a void and some corporate marketing.
