War is a social construct too. Everything humans label is a social construct. Saying something is a social construct is absolutely meaningless, because all language is socially constructed. That's not an argument. When at war with someone, its typically well know you should not enter their...

So the humans would be in the wrong for trespassing correct? Let me quote you again... You're conceding you were wrong here, and that the dragon was in fact in the wrong and trespassing on human lands where it was unwelcome.

I doubt they will wait three days for him to leave. Most likely, because its viable, they will strip him of his freedom under force of arms after demanding he surrender. If he didn't, they'd probably fire a warning shot to let him know they are serious. If he resists, they will kill him (Or...

Yes, the average egocentric network is 28, 55% chance to not have at least one. No handwaving needed.

So the humans would be wrong then, for entering Xadian territory?

Okay, so is it wrong for the Dragons and Elves to do this to humans?

Are all humans the dark magic users that Xadians are afraid of? Why do Xadians attack any humans then which cross into their land?

You've already contradicted yourself, as I pointed out above...Please don't try to write me of ass "only seeing SJWism" when I saw the double standard in your posts that you seem to have forgotten. I never said I agreed with the humans, I've been trying to nail down YOUR objective criteria for...

I'm not forgetting anything. I figured you would do this because I can already see you're attempting to avoid the cognitive dissonance of your response, which is specifically why I asked you this.... You called the humans assholes for attacking it. Do you believe the humans were justified in...

If I was a soldier in a machine gun nest and enemy soldiers came into my zone of fire, I wouldn't just think the machine gun nest was there to be prudent. The dragon isn't just anyone...its specifically part of a group that is actively fighting humans and would kill humans if humans dared...

Do you have any examples of Dragons or Elves being freely allowed to walk through the other Kingdoms? (Hasn't this been a focal point of the series even?) Outside of that though, they were in Katolis; so this is an irrelevant segue. I'm not even sure why you brought it up. So once again, is a...

Apparently humans attacking dragons and setting up 360 degree fortifications to specifically attack dragons (As the character points out "What is that ballista for") is not signal enough they aren't welcome in human lands. But elves and dragons attacking humans makes it clear humans aren't...

So declaring war and being in an active conflict with a group of people is not a declaration not to be within that person's territory? The humans have active defenses along their border too, your argument seems to be that because Dragon's can bypass those defenses, then it doesn't know what its...

They literally infiltrate human kingdoms to make sure humans can't research their own past....

You called the humans assholes for attacking it. Do you believe the humans were justified in their aggression, yes or no? Do you believe the dragon was in the wrong? Not whether it was SMART for the humans to attack, but rather JUSTIFIED aggression on the humans part because the dragon was WRONG...

So your answer is the dragon was just ignorant and didn't realize the humans would be defensive at flying over their town night after night? So it wasn't malice, just a little woopsy? Really?

Now apply this logic to the scared humans in that town who were there with their children and be circled by a fire breathing dragon.... Let me remind you how you judged the humans for "not chilling" with the dragon and being territorial....(Again, the humans were in their homes, they were being...

Yeah, it would be considered a cultural genocide by today's standards. The elves didn't just banish them, they went through and ripped apart elements of human culture and society, regressing the society generations and then using martial power to maintain humanity's status as a backwards...

Yeah, that's the thing. In the magical lands its implied there were no famines because magic as a resource could prevent it--things were far more bountiful. Which is why the humans were denied access, for fear they'd abuse their death magic to become even more powerful. Humans in their banished...

If you don't see them as apologetic, then we're probably not going to be able to debate because our reference frames are skewed. Upon their first meeting, our human main character literally apologized to the elf assassin that tried to kill his father. Read below. The dragon king was an...

This is the show relying on you to fill in what they didn't show. This is bad writing. In two seasons this has not be shown. Another case of relying on you to fill in what was not shown to explain how people are acting. This is bad writing. You are now relying on TWO HUGE assumptions to...

So other than the characters we are with 90% of the time? lol. You don't see the issue with this distinction? Right, the King felt guilty for....not letting his people starve and complete the genocide the Elves/Magical creates began? Is that what you're saying? The king reflected on his...

It's not speculation to show how the humans actually act. Many humans in the show trip over themselves trying to apologize to the assholes who are attacking them. If the idea is that most of what humans have done is propaganda than this reaction/outlook is even more, not less, preposterous. This...

Well, I shouldn't have used meet (Which implies never even passing by a gay person). I should have used "know" one. Typically sexuality only gets shared (Known) in egocentric networks, which are tiny compared to full social networks. While the average social network of most Americans (300-600...

No, its because people who are purely homosexual are 2% of the population or so. Its a 3+SD outlier, which means there is a greater than not chance in a lifetime most people will never actually meet one. Currently in prime time TV the number is close to 10%, 500% of the typical population. It...

This is an old post I know, but trailer just dropped and I saw it. Its ironic that you mention this, because I believe this is why the show is SJW garbage--precisely this reason, because the writers believe this (Will explain below, but let me punch some holes in this "real history" first)...

This. Soul bindings ended up being one of the worst gaming mechanics to crawl out of Warcraft, it just destroys so much about what makes a game desirable to play. Find another solution to the secondary bad effects; non-trade items is a shit one.

Yeah, why would anyone want a dark, foreboding color palette in a game about demons and undead. Must be because they are "old" and aren't hip to how cool the color palettes in My Little Pony and Fortnite are.

I mean, even outside of the weird SJW shit...You knew they were going to write her poorly when they flat out said "she's the most powerful". As if her power equates to some special part of her. If the MCU taught anyone anything its that the most powerful characters can be the least useful or...

From what I remember reading about, there were two strategies. One was setting it up like you mentioned, a pay per view scheme where they make it pretty expensive but expect it to be an "event". In that scheme, its not meant to replace theaters, but supplement them with the people who don't want...

The key argument is whether the baby constitutes part of your body just because your body is used to support it. Parents need to support children, too. Should they have the power to kill them if the child becomes an inconvenience? Your bone marrow comparison is stupid, you didn't commit a...

Pretty much how they treated Gamergate or essentially any public response against anything media does now. They snipe troll posts from twitter, make a little collage and call it a 'toxic fandom' to avoid dealing with any actual criticism toward the underlying issues. Its amazing how often this...

Yes, that is the essence of it. Movies are still way too expensive to make, and so imagination, which entails a lot of risk, needs to be curtailed--and that ends up hurting good films. What he fails to point out though is that it ALSO ends up blocking a lot of absolute dog shit from getting...

This would literally be the only thing that could redeem the franchise for me. If they went totally off the rails and embraced the Darth Jar Jar theory, and have him show himself as the big bad. The final trailer's "palp voice" is a twist showing that Jar Jar was using him like a meat puppet to...

Maybe they will try to finally pull the cord and break away from theaters. Offer "premium" releases of new films for 5 bucks to members. The dam has been ready to break on that front for a while. Have been wondering if the age of the movie is coming to an end, given how much people seem to...

I don't disagree with your assessment of the movie, there wasn't a lot of cringey, ham fisted shit in the film. But the women being the lead in this film IS itself cringey and ham fisted. It isn't just like some movie with genders randomly arrayed in a certain way, like your fast and furious...

Yeah, the anti-woke shit on various forums and social media is about as insufferable as woke shit in all major media, and every form of entertainment currently in use from video games to comics. These things are equal. They are not, not even close. This false equivalence is the only thing...

NYPD has a 37% hit rate at close range, 23% at long range. It drops a lot in an actual firefight, where people shoot back. (For the NYPD it drops to under 20%). In the actual military, thousands of bullets are fired per hit, typically because the ranges are so extreme and they use suppressing...

Wait...were those discovery scenes real? I thought it was some kind of parody or something, because the Archer voice guy was in it. That was REALLY in the show?
