Bio
My Very Brief Bio
Male, 33 years old. (I'm even more dead than before.)
Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)
But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)
My 1X1 Interest Check: SleepingSilence's Tavern (Want 1x1 RP's? Please come in.)
Hope you have a wonderful day!

@Fabricant451 Perhaps. But arguing over the semantics of a word choice is a way of life.
And a hot dog is totally a sammich. Fite me.

Two or more pieces of bread with other food between them.

This album was their best produced and most consistent one. The clean vocals work much better in this album. Lyrically solid as always. Hits a sweet spot that few albums give me anymore.
Because you haven't seen it so how the fuck are you qualified to make any statement about the success of its intent. Your attempts to dodge the point and drag the other movies you mentioned and haven't seen through the dirt in an effort to save face are cute. You're trying to reshape the narrative. I don't know why it's so hard for you to just say you were wrong about this.
At this point, and many others, you're just being intentionally antagonistic. I'm simply not doing the same, and even went out of my way to clarify my intentions. I'm not going to continue down this road.
Let me put your words exactly as you said them.
>Goes to not doing that, ignoring context by trying to combine statements that were previously meant as separate responses.
That's about as literal as "putting words in my mouth" as one can get. Don't exactly come across as a good faith debate.
I'll just throw two more out...
So do you ever have a word that for whatever reason, your brain farts and fails to say when its at the tip of your tongue?
I'm not talking about strict pronunciation either. And I don't have recent instances of this. (One I believe I've already mentioned before, which was the most recent case of this happening.)
But I think my most frequent failing is "Specific". Couldn't really explain why either. But my brain used to never like vocalizing that word without freezing up.
*Shrugs*
And also I'm considered a Monkey according to the Chinese Zodiac. Despite that I was born in January (and the year is normally for The Rooster) but apparently according to the exact time I was born qualifies me to be something else. (and after looking at the Wiki, it also confirms this.)

I find that anime VN screenshot statement incorrect.
Your banned for a weeb. :I

I did say sorry for snarking back, to your own snark.
No. Because I never professed that as a fact, or told you that you were wrong or had ulterior motivations. You prove that I can't think that it comes off that way...
It's not maybe, I've pointed out my word choice could have been clearer. But was said off the cuff, without precision because my original comment was never about what the topic was spun into. But it's also a semantic argument. (And the statements you're going after, weren't even responding/addressed to you, but to the other statements made. Which is where most of this stems from.)
The idea that you'd have no problems, if I watched it, I know isn't true. Because you assumed I had watched it when I made the response that I'd rather not feel preached to/or lectured by a movie. Didn't even really say that the movie did this, just I presumed that by the uppity reactions and immediate labeling/turn to that. Where you suggested that if I felt that the movies social commentary (and really by default that's walking on thin ice) would come off as preaching or as a lecture, then I'd have to be exactly who they were talking about.
Which you went into how systematic racism is real and that the white people who commit benevolent racism are even worse of a problem and they need to be made aware of this. Etc etc, does your own explanation of the plot/moral not sound even a smidgen preachy/lecturey to you? Because even if I agree, that certainly sounds that way to me...
It's a case of confusing who was responding to what. But the idea I can't find a message unsubtle, when you do, is not an objective statement. If all you want is clarification, here, "I can't know if It Follows and The Babadook and any other horror movie with some focused on its message/symbolism aren't secret masterpieces of the modern era if I haven't seen them. But the Babadook is a dumb name, on par with the "The Bye Bye Man"."
If you won't step back, and give some ground in the same way I am. (And admit, to yourself you don't actually need to say anything, you made your own inaccurate claim, making a presumption without evidence to back it up.) There quite literally won't be any middle ground.
Not that we need that, since you've already said you're correct. So I guess there's nowhere else to go...
Okay. Prove that Get Out is hamfisted and preachy. I'll wait. It wasn't that you made a surface opinion, it's that you didn't even bring a shovel.

The difference, and the crux of this entire stupid thing, is you making a ridiculous comment and trying to justify it instead of running it back and admitting that maybe you misspoke.
