Quidditch Leagues trying to rename themselves to no longer be Quidditch but keeping all the same rules because of J.K. Rowling


Woke world because really you're going to make the most token of token efforts to try and divorce the activity from J.K. Rowling whose works the entire sport is based on but people won't stop playing it or try and adapt it to divorce it more from the rules of the sport in the book to make it more it's own sport or just stop doing it

Just gonna skip over the fact that you've shown quite clearly that you didn't even look at the source in question, then blindly and repeatedly insisted it didn't say what it said-- even accusing me of misquoting it and changing my story? You know, before realising you were looking at the wrong source, and hadn't even opened the other one. Gonna skip over that little mildly embarrassing titbit, eh?
Why shouldn't I ignore it when it doesn't help the argument you're trying to support.

The argument that it was seen as fine for white people to kill and eat black people as a delicacy..............

How is 1 instance of this allegedly happening ending up in court proof that the society accepted it or it was seen as fine and normal?

I get woke world struggles with concepts of reality with the whole "We live in a rape culture because we only try rape accusations in court not automatically believe and execute the person accused" but when you criminalise something it isn't normalising it or saying it is ok.

There was..........just um from the side who have constantly been upset at Orion girls......They sort of got mad at T'Pol and Hoshi being too sexy.........
Okay. Half way through the first season. There's lot of shirts off for no reason of both sexes.

I'm not phased by it but it sure makes some Michael Bay excuses for it which draws attention to it, rather than explain

Sorry man. I cannot care about this. Real life Quiddicth is so stupid and Rowling just seems to be parrots points.

And Quidditch in the book was boring and stupidly convoluted in the first place, let alone the lame rules they had to make due to real life physics

Quidditch World Cup was actually quite a fun game, shame we never got a sequel.

But yeh real world Quidditch is very silly and I just find the whole thing now going on with it funny. Like "Yes we play this really silly sport but we're gonna take a stand by ding the most minimal effort thing possible by changing the name to try and protest against the person who came up with the sport".

You insisted, for post after post after post, that the source did not say the passengers were slaves. You stated over and over again that wasn't in the source. You said the direct quotes weren't from the source, and that I was misquoting it.

It turned out that all quotes were directly from the source, and you hadn't even looked at it. They were slaves, and it was a slave who had been murdered and eaten. You had been looking at the wrong source.

If you're now completely unwilling to even admit that, then it shows that you will only ever approach this with complete dishonesty and denial. I can't believe how you're willing to keep this embarrassing charade going, after irrefutable proof that you were wrong about the source is right in front of everyone's face. It's farcical.

And they still didn't support the actual argument you were trying to make.

Also alleged to have been murdered and fed to the other slaves NOT eaten as a delicacy............ Slaves who were mostly children and for all we know it was some boogieman esc story about how evil the captors were.

The farce here is how you're grasping at any straw to claim you won't especially when you did actually confuse the Essex whaling vessel in one of your previous comments with the slave ship.

Ya'll still bickering over historical accuracy in Vikings, a show in which Ragnar Lodbrok, who probably never really existed, but is an exaggerated amalgamation of several different actually historical people, gets addicted to opium, which he got from a Chinese slave from a raid in Moorish Spain, and who is implied to be an imperial princess?

K aight.
Well it was shown on History channel, so it has to be legit. Obviously.

Imagine finding it this difficult to just admit you didn't look at a source.

Imagine finding it this difficult to just admit you don't have a leg to stand on and this desperate for a win you have to try and deflect to whatever you can. Hell you won't even admit you mixed the ships up despite me in my replies mentioning the names of the ship. I was talking about.

Absolutely hilarious. So, after you looked at the wrong source, and started mistakenly talking about a different ship altogether, I first assumed you were talking about the same ship as I was.

And the line you're going with is... accusing me of not realising soon enough that you were talking about the wrong thing?!

This has to be satire. It's too stupid.

Funny because I brought up and said the name of the ship before you brought up the name of one.

I literally said the name of the ship did that not tip you off a bit?

Yes, on your part.

Dude, he's trolling you. This is what he does every time an argument doesn't go his way. Watch, he'll reply to this in a way that proves me right.

I don't think you've ever been proved right in your time posting here so I dunno why you seem to expect a different result now unless it's by your own rules.

Feel free to prove me wrong but I feel like you'll just claim victory and then throw a strop if challenge on it instead.

You not even being any good at this is probably the saddest part.

See what I mean? He can't help himself.
Oh look you declared victory by your own rules just like I literally predicted you would.

Funny how awfully predictable you are. Maybe take a moment and have some introspection because you chose to step in to throw metaphorical mud at me here and well it makes you look rather bitter at having lost countless arguments vs me or tried to call me out so many times before and failed. Maybe try some actual arguments in future rather than attempted gotchas
