Hey did you guys know that what happens in pokemon is actually slavery and super fucked up??? Pokemon can talk to each other they have internality!!!

“The elf anime that makes the villians non sentient so you dont have to feel bad about the protagonist lighting them up with her super strong magics is actually colonalist and white supremacist” ass mf

No your problems clearly lie elsewhere.

They are fictional creatures in a magical world. The author has a whole arc about this and how they’re not sentient. Are you going to start arguing that Frieren isn’t an elf? That dragons aren’t actually real? I’m not making any claims about potential allegory or parallels to the real world. I was simply saying that the author made it pretty clear that they intend those fictional made up creatures to be non-sentient. Feel as gross or put-off about it as you like, I genuinely could not care any less.

Goldfish have emotions. Ants have intelligence. Cats are curious. ChatGPT can fool tons of people into thinking it’s sentient, sapient, intelligent, and emotional when it’s none of those things. How are you defining sentience here, which combination of traits in which proportion?

I think it’s fair to say the author goes out of their way to specify that they aren’t sentient so it’s not unreasonable to take them at their word. I’m not going to argue with the creator of a fictional thing about its nature. I think there’s merit to saying it’s poorly justified and represented, but I think the intent is clear.

I’m not saying they do a good job of representing it but I think they’re meant to be mimicking the traits of sentient/sapient beings while not themselves being sentient/sapient. Like AI or the aliens in Blindsight.

“Hey I have some mild sensory issues and loud noises stress me out when I’m trying to focus, do you mind if I shut this door?”

Seems convoluted

Reaching young voters is easy. Reaching them without making promises that will alienate large donors is the tricky part.

Bag of Storing, a bag of holding that doesn’t mitigate the weight of the items within.

Some very fine orbs. The breasts are nice too I guess.

there are so many ways to get horny why does every video game also have to be one

Jesus Christ’s it’s like some kind of reflex. They just can’t help but give ground and then use bigotry to justify it.

I stopped watching him when he made a really stupid video about that Harry Potter game. I don’t even remember specifically what pissed me off, but I can’t say I’ve missed his videos terribly either.

edit: skimmed the video to refresh my memory, and he basically spends the entire runtime trivializing the boycott with the classic “but you own an iPhone!?” argument but clumsily reframed and repeated a dozen times.

gamers love realism except when it means depicting women as anything other than large breasted animes

Doing very complex math to fail at very simple math, AI in a nutshell.

So where did the coin go then

If you can’t beat em, fund a media campaign to smear them. This is the competition that births innovation, thanks to capitalism.

There was some pretty recent news about Zero Parades so I think that is still a going concern. Maybe you’re confusing them with one of the dozen or so drama born spinoff studios. Last I heard ZA/UM is just a shell of its former self being piloted around by the marketing guy who usurped everyone when the game got profitable.
