Topic | Plot Armor through popularity vs giving a popular character a meaningful death? |
Dash_Harber 09/12/17 6:19:10 AM #3 | Basically make it meaningful. However, sometimes it depends on the setting. A meaningful death can drive the plot forward or help the characters grow. However, if it's poorly timed, a publicity stunt, is reversed, or is in a show that kills off characters willy-nilly, it's really hard to do. |
Topic | Being anti-Muslim isn't any different than being racist. |
Dash_Harber 09/12/17 6:10:02 AM #80 | Rhylos posted... If race doesn't exist then racists don't exist. Race exists. It's actually defining it that is pretty much impossible. |

Topic | Is WoW forever? |
Dash_Harber 09/12/17 4:21:27 AM #8 | Entity13 posted... WoW is slowly killing itself with a disease known as Activision. If the game goes much longer, it will not be the WoW people have loved for an age now passed, but a den on tainted online crack that its consumers cannot drive themselves away because they are so unable, and Acti-Blizz knows this. They are counting on those people to give them more than every dime they have before the product is taken away, and all counterfeits made to suffer one way or another. As much as you complain, you realize this is the perfect plan to pull a, "wait, we are reinventing the game!" type move? |

Dash_Harber 09/12/17 4:18:59 AM #22 | JE19426 posted... Dash_Harber posted...Or, you know since they have the technology to shrink cities Fair enough. They still are supposed to be an ultra advanced race with the capabilities to create a capsule that supports a sleeping baby during an interstellar journey, literally charting his path across countless star systems and debris and flawlessly taking care of his needs. A capsule, might I add, that allows the baby to safely crash into a planet without so much as a scratch. Also, didn't the Kyrptonians create Brainiac? |

Dash_Harber 09/12/17 4:12:52 AM #18 | CableZL posted... Couldn't they just take a yellow sun and push it near their home planet? Or, you know since they have the technology to shrink cities and send babies safely on interstellar journeys, couldn't they just replicate that type of radiation? |
Topic | How were Americans been brainwashed into discrediting art/entertainment as work? |
Dash_Harber 09/12/17 4:10:44 AM #10 | Philoktetes posted... how is making cartoons more valuable to society than mining coal? In the long run? It's important to society to have culture and society, which sort of requires entertainment and art. It also can be monetized. It also doesn't leave as much pollution as coal and is another industry that can support an economy if coal suddenly bottoms out. |
Topic | How were Americans been brainwashed into discrediting art/entertainment as work? |
Dash_Harber 09/12/17 4:01:54 AM #4 | Your title makes my head hurt. Anyway, it's a pretty common attitude in more conservative parts of Canada, too. I was constantly lambasted for getting degrees from university instead of going to a technical school. People just assume you are too weak or pathetic to do 'real work'. It's really stupid. Ironically, my wife is in the trades and she faced nothing but criticism and sexism. |
Topic | You use a time machine, and go back in time several thousand years |
Dash_Harber 09/12/17 3:49:27 AM #13 | Not at all, because before that I used the time machine to go to the future and turn myself into a space-proof cyborg. |
Topic | What are some shows audiences loved and but critics hated? |
Dash_Harber 09/11/17 5:54:06 AM #4 | Airhammy posted... Pretty much all shows these days have critics no matter how good it is. Nothing is ever good enough. Yeah, like I said, I don't get it. It's a reconstruction of the recently deconstructed sitcom genre and it's incredibly funny. The fourth wall breaking does it a lot of favors. The problem is that most of the cast are not professional actors, and that it sort of has a 'stage play' vibe. |
Topic | There should be a temporary ban on Caffeine |
Dash_Harber 09/11/17 5:51:58 AM #16 | Ryo_the_Inferno posted... If caffeine had been discovered in the modern era, it would be as tightly controlled as heroine. Pretty sure modern has nothing to do with it. Opium has been around since BCE, where as coffee was discovered in the 11th century or so. I don't think modernity has anything to do with legality. |
Topic | What are some shows audiences loved and but critics hated? |
Dash_Harber 09/11/17 5:48:37 AM #2 | All of Seth McFarlane's other work (sans first few seasons of Family Guy and American Dad). All of Tyler Perry's work. Also, Mrs. Brown's Boys. Not sure why the critics hated that one, though. |

It is also important to add that there is pretty much no such thing as a 'pure' race. |
Topic | Being anti-Muslim isn't any different than being racist. |
Dash_Harber 09/11/17 4:46:21 AM #32 | Being anti-Muslim isn't racist, but the two tend to go hand in hand. |
Topic | I feel like a lot of people on this board tend to downplay Trump's victory |
Dash_Harber 09/11/17 4:44:51 AM #7 | I think the problem now is half that he hasn't fulfilled any promises he made, and half that he keeps saying stupid things and being completely ignorant of how the government is supposed to work. |
Topic | Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. |
Dash_Harber 09/11/17 4:10:56 AM #12 | We were also told Pluto was a planet and that Columbus discovered North America. Perhaps kindergarten rules aren't the best way to structure society. Although, I wouldn't mind government mandated nap-time. Isn't ironic how the same people that call anyone who criticizes anything is a whiny baby, and then say we should act more like kindergartners. I guess they are the same people that say bullying builds character, and then complain whenever anyone criticizes or makes fun of their favored celebrities or politicians. |

Dash_Harber 09/10/17 6:55:53 PM #146 | omnichaos posted... Not calls to violence, nor direct death threats, or how to create weapons of mass destruction. Stuff like that I'm ok with censoring. Oh, so it's okay to censor some things, but not other things? Also, you didn't answer my question. If I go to a publishing house with a picture book of cat's assholes, are they morally obliged to publish it for me? wah_wah_wah posted...
You fundamentally don't understand how this works. Yes, you are, by definition, being published. Also, I'm not screaming anything. You are struggling to ignore the points I'm making and are trying to discredit me by making it seem like I am having an emotional response. I actually pointed out that even if it is censorship, it's not immoral. I even stated that directly. |
Topic | Is censorship of offensive speech on gamefaqs "morally" sound? |
Dash_Harber 09/10/17 8:07:18 AM #137 | omnichaos posted... Yes it is, and for so very many reasons. So you think that all internet publishing companies should be compelled to publish anything, no matter what? |
Topic | Is censorship of offensive speech on gamefaqs "morally" sound? |
Dash_Harber 09/10/17 8:05:23 AM #135 | omnichaos posted... And it's still censorship. Even if it is, it's not immoral so your whole topic is moot. |
Topic | Is censorship of offensive speech on gamefaqs "morally" sound? |
Dash_Harber 09/10/17 8:01:57 AM #133 | omnichaos posted... Corporate censorship is the process by which editors in corporate media outlets intervene to disrupt the publishing of information that portrays their business or business partners in a negative light,[6][7] or intervene to prevent alternate offers from reaching public exposure. I'm not sure how I can make this any simpler. They have the right to choose what they publish. You agree when you agree to their ToU. It is not immoral for them to choose what they want to publish. This is not a public service, it is a private service. |

Dash_Harber 09/10/17 7:52:44 AM #129 | omnichaos posted... Yes I suppose I am, and that's clearly unethical to publish my work and not pay me. No it's not. You are voluntarily posting this 'work'. You still aren't one of their products. |

Dash_Harber 09/10/17 7:39:15 AM #127 | omnichaos posted... Because it would be unethical to make money off of my words and not pay me. That is literally what they do. When something is entered into the internet for others to read, it is being published. The companies that publish have the right to decide on their terms of service. omnichaos posted... And what you seem to be claiming is that it's impossible for media companies to censor their products. Is it not censorship when curse words are bleeped out on music discs? Are you one of their products now? |

It's not censorship because GameFAQs is a business. The publish people's comments. It is not immoral (or censorship) to decide not to publish someone else's work. |

Netflix redefining "original" I don't think they are redefining original. All their content is made by other people, except stuff under their 'Netflix Original' brand, which is originally available on Netflix. It's not saying 'this is our original idea'. |

Topic | Is censorship of offensive speech on gamefaqs "morally" sound? |
Dash_Harber 09/10/17 6:20:43 AM #116 | wah_wah_wah posted... Again you're dodging that it is a moral question, not a legal one. We can all recognize that GameFAQs can legally do this. That's not what the question is. You are legally permitted to do all sorts of behavior that is immoral and wrong. The law and morality sometimes coincide, but not always. Again, Dash_Harber It is not censorship for them to decide not to publish something. It is also not immoral because businesses that publish things are not morally compelled to publish everything put before them. I quoted it again because, evidently, you missed it. |
Topic | I'm not from the US. Can someone explain to me the whole n-word double standard? |
Dash_Harber 09/09/17 11:33:21 PM #30 | Supercuaco666 posted... So it's a "not letting go of the past" thing? I never argued that, nor did anyone else that I saw that I noticed. Supercuaco666 posted... I get it, I guess, but it doesn't seem like a good thing to keep doing. I don't know, I'm not a psychic. I don't see the issue. Supercuaco666 posted... Some of my ancestors here got exiled during a dictatorship, but I don't hold anything against the richer kids for something they had nothing to do with. First, this is unrelated. We are talking about the morality of linguistic, not whether people have suffered more or less than other people. Second, historical events are not equivalent. Historical events can't be compared 1:1 because they all have very different people and contexts. Third, their is still people suffering from the effects of slavery and institutionalized racism, so you can't just pretend it's a clean slate and everyone starts at the same point. scar the 1 posted...
If we are getting mathematic here, you are going to beat my ass. What I meant is that language doesn't evolve in a singular progression that encompasses all speakers of that language. It evolves in different communities and sometimes even a single word can take on wholly different meanings in both those communities. For example, in Quebec, Canada, they speak French. In France they speak French. However, Quebecois (as it is known) is a wholly different dialect with it's own words, grammar, and sometimes even different meanings for words they both have. |

Dash_Harber 09/09/17 11:24:10 PM #98 | wah_wah_wah posted...
GetMagnaCarter explained it best. It's not censorship. The law doesn't force every business to publish anything that customers want them to. Censorship is when the government or equal authority uses force or the threat of force to force you to not publish something. GameFAQs is a business that publishes people's messages (along with guides, cheats, etc). It is not censorship for them to decide not to publish something. It is also not immoral because businesses that publish things are not morally compelled to publish everything put before them. I don't think I can make it any clearer. |
