Revelation34 11/14/18 7:30:33 PM #43:	_AdjI_ posted... Tangential experience can be enough to make some reasonable inferences, in many cases. Knowing that poop contains high levels of harmful bacteria and smells bad is enough to tell you that eating poop would likely not be an enjoyable or wise experience, even without experiencing it yourself. Of course, in many other cases, missing the context of the things you're objecting to can cause you to misunderstand or exaggerate how bad they are. The minor outrage when Bayonetta 2 came out was an example of this, in that looking purely at screenshots and video clips of Bayonetta doing sexy things ignored that Bayonetta is a sexual character, not a sexualized one, and that the clips that seemed so objectionable out of context were a natural part of a well-designed character who had been granted agency over her sexuality. This is not a case where blanket statements are reasonable. Claiming a guy is bigoted or sexist for killing characters in a video game is reasonable now? --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:912415091] in Good criti...
