Oh I'm sure some of them find it funny, they were making jokes when the quake hit Japan too. I don't care to focus on them when there's 33 dead people who should be focused upon. By being triggered at some likely 12 year old (mentally at least) you give them power over your psyche. All I care about is helping kyoani get back on its feet.trunkage said:
Been an anime fan for over 25 years, I'm used to people's inconsiderate comments by now lol. Half the time it's not coming from trolls either but rather by people who see an anime avatar and think it's a troll account by definition.
My condolences to all that people and their families. This is just wild I don't want to joke like not make joke about this. And everytime I hear about it more people turn up dead. Peace for those families man.
Seems he though they plagarized his online "catchphrase" or some shit. It makes no sense, dude was just utterly nuts. Should have been put in a mental hospital ages ago.tf2godz said:
Sounds like a typical edgelord that makes "two nukes were not enough" jokes and thinks he's edgy and triggers some younger anime fans. Literally not worth paying attention to. Definitely not worth upending our freedom of speech for.RaikuFA said:
Nah, over-reacting to them and in so doing driving away to the other side innocent people whom you brand as trolls because of minor disagreements is how.trunkage said:
In a secular context, physical action is what makes someone innocent or guilty. Not sinful thought or fantasy. Applying the religious and authoritarian notion of having "evil thoughts" is not appropriate here.undeadsuitor said:
If the person in your example had only just made jokes back then, had not yet decided to join a Nazi group nor ran over people yet, and was treated like someone who had done those things, they were indeed innocent at the time of being maligned, since making a joke is fine.
To me, that person is hanging on the precipice, while to you they're already condemned. To me, they could have gone either way, based on how society treated them. You may think that you have no duty to help someone who is in this situation and that it should be their responsibility to keep themselves from becoming a lunatic, at the same time, the fact that this might have been preventable is still there, and I see nothing in your approach that will ensure less harm than in mine.
A good person is not someone who has no temptation, that's just an ignorant person. A good person is someone who has a temptation or a tendency but doesn't let it control them and does the right thing despite having that tendency. What you condemn as a fault is actually something that could, if overcome, become a strength, as some of the most convincing anti-radical speakers are ex radicals who overcame these temptations personally.
You know the term racist is used by trolls to rile up the conservatives, right? That they're playing a trick on you? Then all liberals get tarred with using PC, regressive, etc. Seems like and overreacting and a whole bunch of innocent people being driven awayDreiko said:
Oh I know, since I'm a liberal myself and I don't call people or things racist as a reflex. A lot of this is not letting them co-opt these values and if you want us to not be tarred with these labels you wanna be out there condemning those in our side who do that as I am.trunkage said:
I hate to admit it, but you do have a point there. And now I can?t help but think of how many people could have made it out alive if not for that...Marik2 said:
Also, can we PLEASE not turn this into yet another political debate? I am getting so sick and tired of every other thread in this subforum being filled up with this crap...
Isn?t that what the R&P sub forum was for? Why did they get rid of it again...?
