+1 to your side of that argument and it is a known fact that islam advocates rape, murder, subjugation,among other things. and suicide on the grounds that all of ones sins will be wiped clean upon death. that's why they take part in so many sinful activities before going all suicide bomber on people.

oh and speaking of muslims and islam. i just remembered something amazing.

This year in stupid (2016) we have Buddhists ethnically cleansing muslims. that was the first i had ever heard of bhuddists doing something like that. o_O so yeah, even the bhuddists have reached their limits on tolerance regarding muslims.

Know what else a human is? An Anthropomorphic Animal. That's right. Humans are 100% Anthropomorphic Animals by default. We're a part of the kingdom Animalia, and the word "Anthropomorphic" means "possessing human features." What possesses more human features than a human itself?

I mean you're not wrong

But you know what people mean when they actually say they wish anthros were real

Using that argument in response is honestly just kind of pedantic

That's one way to kill the magic.

This is like telling bronies that the hair on a human head is called a mane. It ruins it for them because they think it's an equine term and use it to make themselves feel special and more equine. Telling them that their hair is called a mane anyway stops it from being a special thing.

Not actually correct, because anthropomorphism is defined as attribution of human traits, emotions, and intentions to non-human entities.

Since humans aren't non-human entities, they cannot be anthropomorphized.

Again, that is not true. Stop blaming religion for what HUMAN BEINGS choose to do to each other. No religion ever forces you to believe anything. It is 100% the choice of the human being whether they will believe it or not. Just like it is 100% the choice of the human being whether they will use a gun or not. The comparison is valid, whether you like it or not, and no matter how much you scream from the rooftops that it's not.

HUMAN BEINGS are to blame. Religion is a product of human beings, as are guns. Stop blaming the tools people use and start blaming people.

Religion is a joke, atheism is a joke. People who get butthurt and argue about it like it's a real issue to first world society (SPOILER ALERT: it's not)

religion is the greatest weapon of mass destruction ever conceived. this is a fact.

InannaEloah said:

in the case of islam, the religion IS partly to blame. as religion influences (very strongly in some cases) those choices.

No religion ever forces you to believe anything.

maybe not directly but those who convert or indoctrinate non-believers into their religion are, in effect, forcing others to believe in their religion.

It is 100% the choice of the human being whether they will believe it or not.

not in the case of conversion or indoctrination. those 2 things take away that choice either in part or whole.

Just like it is 100% the choice of the human being whether they will use a gun or not.

a gun is a literal tool. religion is a belief system. the 2 are not the same at all.

The comparison is valid, whether you like it or not, and no matter how much you scream from the rooftops that it's not.

no, it really isn't and no amount of denial will change that.

Stop blaming the tools people use and start blaming people.

with how strongly you seem to be defending religion, i suspect you are a religious person.

i wonder what this world would be like if people stopped forcing religion on children and instead let them grow up and choose for themselves if they want to believe in it or not.

critical thinking for one would probably be a LOT more common.

FYI religion is a problem across the entire globe, not just first world countries. also, it is a real issue across europe.

Discussion religions is against the rules for this very reason.

Google's newest "feature" in which, if you search for a string of words in quotation marks but there are no results (or you're searching for something they want to keep secret for whatever reason... maybe because it's politically incorrect or some other such nonsense), will act like there are results but will completely omit literally everything you wrote in the search bar and provide you with bullshit that never even crossed your mind.

i bet the people who run such companies would even sell out their own family if it got them more green.

oh and google "improved" the youtube notification system (yep, it's back up and working now). only now you don't just get comment reply notifications when you click that bell, you also get video update/upload notifications to dig through as well.

one has to wonder though... in fixing the notification system, what did they break? since they almost ALWAYS break something upon fixing something on youtube.

What makes me angry? This POS iPhone getting my autocorrects wrong, or trying to keep it "right" despite using real words. iPhone, having a functioning dictionary, not using said dictionary in autocorrect, to such point where it (past tense) thought implication and implicating were incorrect. But it definitely knows what fetishes I am typing in, along with this habit of not recognizing apostrophes and thinking you'll is you'all previously...

But the dictionary itself is good. Capable of pinpointing words I thought were fake, and goes down to when & where the word came from, complex meanings, and recognizes variants and either provides that specific meaning, or down to the base word. But it is JUST AUTOCORRECT getting those words wrong, when the dictionary KNOWS IT'S RIGHT!

My headcanon is that neither Samus nor SA-X were the real Samus, and SA-X is the one from Other M. I think of it like Kirk's split in Star Trek TOS, where one half was active and one was passive. Samus would be the active one, and SA-X would be the passive one.

By the way, it's not Nintendo, but have you played AM2R?

Something that makes me angry is people who get angry at artists simply because those artists include censors to permit their artwork on Japanese websites like Pixiv. Publicity is a good thing for artist's to get, as it promotes them to make more art, which means more stuff to enjoy, and they need to get that through their skulls.
Sure, non-Japanese artists could make an uncensored copy, but mistakes do happen, and it's possible to accidentally overwrite or otherwise lose your uncensored copies, or just never thought it would be popular enough for people to want that copy and never saved one in the first place.
Yes, there are some artists who do it to troll those haters, but even in that case, you're better off just ignoring it and carrying on. Going on entire rants and attacking the artist is just putting you in a bad image. Promote their art, and see if you can convince them through more polite means to make uncensored versions to share around.

treos said:

They didn't say they were okay with censorship in general, they just said people should lay off the artists since it's a problem with Japanese law, not with the artists.

Referring to individual people as "it" or "they". Using genderless pronouns for vague things like "a character" where any gender (and sometimes, any number of characters) is possible makes sense but I can't be the only one who finds referring to specific people with these terms dehumanizing. Preferred or not, I feel like I'm calling them an object when I do that.

In most cases, the original version is the uncensored version. There are cases where it's done for artistic reasons (mainly convenient_censorship) or for humor or even taking the piss.

People who RP on Twitter publicly, then get all bent out of shape when other people, who aren't part of the RP session, respond to their public posts.

It's not rocket science, people: if you want your RP session to remain private, don't RP in an open Twitter feed. It's not your followers' fault that they saw your RP in their feeds, it's your fault because YOU had the power to keep it private but were too lazy and self-entitled to do so.

Also, on a related note, people who play "Friendly" characters in an online shooter (Team Fortress 2 is notorious for this) and then start whining and calling people "tryhards" when people kill them. Calling people "Tryhards" for the oh, so horrible "crime" of following the server's rules and playing the objective doesn't strengthen your argument one bit. All it does is make you look like an idiot.

o_O had that happen in a MMORPG once. went and beat a newbie who had just started the game and challenged me to a duel. next thing i know, the child is going on and on about how i'm hacking and cheating and i'm sitting there like, dude...is this your first time playing ANY online game in your life? like, wtf man?

another good one is the type of player who can be sent flying into a blind rage when someone so much as talks to them. o_O someone needs some psychiatric help in that case.

oh and this is the best i've encountered to date. ok, so i let this guy join my party and we're going through a dungeon and fighting things like usual except me and my friend are talking about these rare weapons we found quite easily. the dude who asked to join us gets increasingly pissed and eventually leaves. well...i, soon after, log off to go to bed.

next time i log in... suddenly i'm being attacked by that guy who got all pissy and left the previous night AND at least 1-2 veteran players of the game. i try and ask what this guy had been saying about me while i was offline but no one will give me a straight answer and instead they start going on about how i'm lying and twisting my story around. aside from us talking about our rare weapons the previous night, me and my friend were just going around killing monsters like normal.

the crime i was accused of? camping in a low lvl area and killing everything so this idiot couldn't kill anything for exp.

what really happened was he took off on his own. i was nowhere near him once he was in the dungeon.

i don't know what he said about me but it was enough to cause a huge scene, turn at least 2 veteran players against me and...flat out ignore what i was saying or use this as an excuse: "we've been playing this game longer than you so we're gonna take this guys word over yours end of discussion."

i don't give a F how long someone has been playing a game. that is no excuse for such behavior. if someone acted like that here on e621 then they'd likely be facing a VERY swift ban...possibly a permaban.

Oh my fucking god, that's terrible! Something along those lines happened to me in TF2 once, a couple years ago. I was dominating some dude in a 2Fort match and he started accusing me of having molested children. Whenever people make wild, nonsensical accusations like that, I end up naturally being offended and protest my innocence... and in the process, I start to lose whatever I originally gained in the round. I ended up so scared because that kind of accusation can ruin people's lives even when it's completely false, that I abandoned my Steam account for over a year following.

It's like, dude, it's only a fucking game. Don't accuse people of horrible felonies just because they're beating you in a video game.
