Except statements like "I see the thing. I accept that it's in the story." betray what you're really pushing, no amount of pretending otherwise is gonna put the genie back in the bottle. I see right through it. 1. Representation is more valuable than the standards you are proposing for story-telling...

Holy shit my dude it's literally just applying subjective critique to world building. Why do you think I keep bringing up subjectivity over and over again? Because it's the only way to excuse your flimsy ideas. Honestly, this is a poor interpretation that ignores what I actually said to engage in w...

Well, as an update, binged most of the Trek reviews and didn't find it. Sorry.

Subjectivity doesn't mean no analysis can be done. Sure, but Freeverse's doctrine does. Actually, the real world is more important than stories. And making sure your story works (e.g. by not shoehorning in things that don't fit in it) is more importantly than virtue signalling, which is what mangli...

Honestly, one of the reasons I have a problem with that kind of thinking is that it tends to be dismissive of representation, which I consider to be quite a good thing in general. Sure, but you shouldn't break your story or setting for it, which is my point. If something doesn't fit, it doesn't fit...

I've explained more than once that, actually, I don't think this bizarre thing you've interpreted from my words. Then you wouldn't have had any argument against "you should make sure what you put in fits", that you did argue against that shows the truth. A situation in which inherent factors, actio...

StuffWriter, he has specially edited reviews redone for YouTube that seems to kinda fit your ideas.

He still goes on other sites so he can have the "unabridged" versions still.

I think that more than one interpretation of a piece of media is possible. I don't know how to argue in favor of that without invoking the subjective nature of art, but If you disagree with that idea, please say why instead of just saying my position is nonsense. You were really arguing that zero i...

It's not meaningless, it's allowing for the existence of more than one meaning. No, it allows for the existences of zero meanings to anything. I would argue that how we interpret a work is extremely relevant at any time we are evaluating its merit. Cool. Completely irrelevant to the point being mad...

I think I get the point - I just disagree with it. And the reason I disagree is because it's assuming that there's an objective measure of when something doesn't fit. But I don't think there's an objective method to make that determination. It's something that each person is going to make their own...
