You're conflating battle(gameplay) mechanics with story mechanics. This is, once again, the ENTIRE point of this argument. All that shit you spouted in the first paragraph can happen because, otherwise, the game would be boring as fuck. Just like without phoenix downs, the game would be nearly impossible.

Then it's the fault of a shitty writer who doesn't give any reason that JUST THIS TIME the god machine doesn't work anymore and "theyre TOTES dead forever, for real".

"It's called fiction, and every sizable piece of fiction has huge aspects that blatantly ignore logical consistency"

That's the entire point. If everyone uses the technology, why doesn't Roland just respawn? Or Handsome Jack, or the Siren from the first game, or literally any other named character?

Then why didn't Roland just respawn? Why doesn't Handsome Jack respawn? Or the other Siren from the first game?

Except Borderlands has an in-story reason for the lack of perma-death.

Mind blown.

For a feminist, you don't seem to understand this whole "treat everyone equally" thing. You're turning this into the Least Privilege Olympics.

Nope, I wouldn't ever say that. You defended your use of stereotyping with "well its not as bad gender/race stereotyping" which while true, doesn't make what you did OK. I was pointing out that even YOUR brand of stereotyping is bullshit because you can't change what hobbies you like any more than you can change what…

And yet just like skin color or gender, you can't just up and change what you're obsessed with.

Troll harder.

OK, you didn't INTEND to say what you said, but what else do people have to go off of? They aren't inside your head, they don't know what you MEANT to say, only what you DID say.

tedscheckler2 is the only one raising a fuss. He said something stupid, and people called him out on that stupid. And not only does he not retract his stupid statement, he doubles down on it. So yeah, sorry, there's enough vitriol to spare this poor idiot some.

You flat out said "All men and women are born free". That is an easily proven FALSE statement. No one is twisting your words, we're quoting them directly.

My cousin is of the opinion that since he didn't condemn the gays to hell, since he didn't do God's job, what he said is 100% OK.

Seriously, how hard is this to comprehend:

He has the RIGHT to say whatever he wants.

I think you read WAY more into the comment you responded to than was actually there. Or maybe you misread it. I just don't know.

Actually in this case it means "I lost this debate many posts ago and realize I can't win, so I'll just keep making irrelevant comments to try to get the last word in".

I'll take that as a forfeiture. Thanks for playing.
