Probably the highlight of this was when I pointed out to the other person that saying the PGC was categorical because it was universal to the category of an agent, they referred to this as "wordplay". Easily the worst response of the bunch.

Despite the fact that very definition of something being "categorical" is that it applies universally to a set. What we might also refer to as a "category".

Many have pointed out this issue in regards to the efficient cause of the universe and the current explanations that Theists rely on are flawed and demonstrate a mis-understanding of how things like dependence causation work.

KCA has to rely on numerous fallacious assumptions and unfounded principles to defend itself. Whether it be a fallacy of composition, or an inductive leap to principle of causation that insists on existence being contingent without basis.

I'm saying that there is a contradiction because God must be a temporal agent in order to be the efficient cause of the universe but God cannot be a temporal agent.

Otherwise we have to say that God is always creating, which would mean the universe would have to be eternal and infinite in both past and future, which is what the KCA rejects.

I just don't understand why actual fans of the show get so stubborn about this topic. It feels like straight denialism. I don't really mean to be insulting, but I find it genuinely baffling. I have shown you multiple quotes were he explicitly affirms it and you still deny it.

If you like it, surely you'd be happy to learn that there are even more layers to a work that you love. But instead you insist that I'm just reading too much into it and it's not that deep and actually all this stuff that people appreciate about it just isn't there.

Homosexual men are oppressed by the Patriarchy specifically because of their sexuality and being a man, what are you talking about? Also, I agree they still contribute to it, but so does everyone. Men BENEFIT the most from it. But they aren't the exclusive perpetuators of it.

But like, if a homosexual man complains about being discriminated against and mistreated due to being a homosexual man, you wouldn't turn around and insist that is "the consequence of their own actions", would you?

And you're using it in response to me saying "people can analyse things in a lot of different ways, as long as they can justify it". Not even saying about how literate somebody is, just pointing out that as long as you can argue your point, it's valid.

But even suggesting that is enough to get the "haha, media literacy" meme, because the people who use it simply don't seem to like people doing intricate analysis of art in general.

Using this male narrative to sneak in this rather reductive and I'd argue offensive judgement of criminals I don't think helps your argument. You can't just say that any ill-intentioned man, if given the chance, would escalate into a worse crime.

It's totally faux-progressiveness. The actual logic behind it is no different from reactionaries. You place criminals and violent people into a overly broad box, arguably dehumanising them, for the sake of a very basic argumentative fallacy.

How can watch anime and say this with a straight face? Anime is full of commentary on social injustices and relevant social issues. 80s and 90s anime are incredibly political!

One of the most common underlying theme in anime and manga is coming to terms with the injustices of the Second World War and the rapidly changing society and culture that followed it.

When you look at Japan's history, it's especially quite peculiar how it developed to this degree. This is a country which has as the centre of its mythology a Female Deity who founded the entire country, and was initially quite maternalistic.

The introduction of Confucianism brought in some stricter gender roles, but it was in the Meiji Restoration and "State Shinto" where the Emperor, a Male reincarnation of their Female Deity, became the centre of their religious worship (by force of the state) that it intesified.
