I would actually argue you are a much worse person than the one saying you should make your own informed decisions.

Doom is my absolute favourite Marvel boi. He isn’t make-or-break in most decks but the ability to disperse 15 value over 3 lanes is incredibly useful, and he’s definitely won me a share of games.

I mean some societies have done that. “Fundamentally demolishing” an existing system down to the studs rarely works out all that well, especially for the poor bastards you are ostensibly doing it on behalf of.

I love Leader and he’s a cornerstone of my most played decks, but yeah that isn’t really a nerf.

it’s not because they woke up one morning and thought “We’re going to cover up the 12 year old for the Western release because it’s the right thing [...]” It’s just a calculation that people interested in the game won’t care about the change while some critics who probably won’t really play the game will nonetheless…

Guess you're damned then 

I just hate these kinds of responses. Just say the truth “we gotta cover these up so we don’t get age restricted or cancelled”. Don’t try to sell it as if it’s because the players want less revealing outfits, if you’re a fan of asian MMOs with an anime inspired character design you know what you’re getting into…

So you’re asking whether a man slapping another man is equivalent to a man slapping a woman or an elderly person?

I wouldn’t want to see Will Smith get arrested, but I’d leave it up to the black man who was hit to decide if he wanted to press charges or not.

Not to be especially crass, but I believe there’s truth to the expression “talk shit, get hit”

Besides the fact that motherfucker was 95 so “old” no matter how you slice it.

“The Old Pope”?

But to boil it all down, your arguments are a whataboutism that fail to actually address his point, which is that there is a middleground [...] which is NOT bad (the middleground, that is), as you seemingly try to argue it could be

I’ll also just state that I originally didn’t pick up what you were putting down, because I failed to realise that the argument you were trying to make wasn’t that SOME middlegrounds are bad, and that this one is comparable, and thus, is bad, when instead your argument was that because SOME middlegrounds are bad, this…

My dawg, you still aren’t understanding to a degree that’s causing me no small frustration. This may be my own failure in communication or approach. I will try to break it down as simply as I can:

You’re comparing giving cents to a billionaire for buying a video game, who believes and says disagreeable things, to supporting slavery and murder.

I think there’s a middle ground between “militantly telling other people what to do” and “total nihilism because nothing you do matters”.

To summarize the objections:

It’ll go round and round, sometimes with a load of outright falsehoods, with which you’re supposed to get discouraged by researching all the facts to counter, or it’ll be partials and omissions.
