This right here - this is the point where I concluded that there was no point in reasonable discourse. Because honestly, what in the hell are you even talking about?
I do my best to be understanding and to come at an issue with an open mind, taking both sides into account, but this is just so off the wall that I can't even imagine the headspace whence it came.
Your argument is argument from incredulity. You have not demonstrated why it is wrong, you jsut claim you don't understand. That's a fallacy. YOU have copped out of reasonable discourse. You are no different from "this Darwin guy claims we evolved from monkeys, this is why I know there is nothing more to discuss".
Again, you prove that you are unwilling to approach discussion in a logical manner.
Because nothing anyone has said on this thread or any other about the representation of women in media has ever included Sharia Law. But you're holding it up like it was some brilliant piece of evidence as to why it is wrong to ask for a female character who isn't presented purely as a sex object.
And your other replies to me make a massive effort to ignore my points, to take my words out of context and to attribute to me things I never said - which is the same tactic you used on Sarkeesian, and on other posters here. You are not having an intelligent, civil discussion. You're subverting the conversation to further your own point of view. And I can't respond to that in any reasonable way.
Pointing out fallacies is vital to any logical discussion as fallacies are counter to conclusive logic.
"Because nothing anyone has said on this thread or any other about the representation of women in media has ever included Sharia Law"
The constant and bitter objections to women showing their bodies, attacking them for being sexual... The comparisons with Sharia Law are clear to me and I will make the comparison you refuse to consider.
"why it is wrong to ask for a female character who isn't presented purely as a sex object."
STRAW MAN ALERT! Sstraw man alert from Trilligan, I have categorically NEVER supported the presentation of women as "sex object". I have been EXPLICITE in stating how a woman being shown as alive, human and animate is THE ANTITHESIS of making her an object or seem like an object.
The link between objecting to women exposing their bodies and the crulties of Sharia Law are clear.
The link between sexualisation and turning women into objects (or perceived that way) is absolutely non existent. It is nothing but a lie oft repeated, the Big Lie. Just because a woman is sexual, she does not become in any way like an object, thing about what you are saying, what the hell is going through your head when you see a woman who bares her arms and wears shorts like Lara croft and ignores EVERYTHING about her as a charcater and jsut sees an inanimate object.
Lets summarise:
-I have gone point by point and addressed every single one of your points
-I have never intentionally falsely attributed anything to you
-I am having an intelligent and civil discussion, you are using fallacy after fallacy
-I am not subverting anything, I am staying on topic
-I am proving my case when you use bad logic or no logic at all.
"And I can't respond to that in any reasonable way."
Fine by me, If we don't have to hear so many fallacies and spurious logic then don't consider it a victory on your part. I proved my case and you just practice denialism.
