Never happen, he's Catholic.Yeah, he's kind of lost that cultural representative role now. We're just doing background checks on Mel Gibson to see if there's anything stopping him taking on the role.

I'd love you to go onto a Doctor Who forum and claim that the daleks just choose to be gits, that they weren't created to be death machines, and that 50-plus years of lore has been entirely wrong. Even Chibnall couldn't fuck that up.It's establishing they're gits because they choose to be, not because it's part of their inherent nature, holy fuck
Humans aren't a fictional species. Humans operate under the rules of biology as we understand them, a fictional species operates however the authors want them to act.Hey, humans have kept slaves for our entire history, it must be part of our inherent nature. Any human who opposes slavery is just an exception that proves the rule, right?
Then we have completely different definitions of free will.Yeah, a sort of free will that lacks the free and is just the will.
If there's good Daleks, then Daleks aren't inherently and always evil, good for them. Got any other non-Harry Potter media you want to wildly deflect on to?I'd love you to go onto a Doctor Who forum and claim that the daleks just choose to be gits, that they weren't created to be death machines, and that 50-plus years of lore has been entirely wrong.

It's actually impressive how you manage to miss the point so severely.
lmaoHumans aren't a fictional species. Humans operate under the rules of biology as we understand them, a fictional species operates however the authors want them to act
Again, Lord of the Rings. Orcs, trolls, etc., are evil by their nature. Humans aren't. In part because we know how humans operate in the real world.
Yes, the Warhammer world, the D&D monster manual, and you all have different definitions of free willThen we have completely different definitions of free will.
...I'm sorry, I have no idea how you have watched/read anything involving Rusty and come to this conclusion. Rusty, by his own admission, isn't even "good."If there's good Daleks, then Daleks aren't inherently and always evil, good for them.
Oh sure, plenty. Waste of time to discuss any of it with you.Got any other non-Harry Potter media you want to wildly deflect on to?
Not an argument.lmao
And where are the text-based definitions of free will in these settings? What quotes can you provide?Yes, the Warhammer world, the D&D monster manual, and you all have different definitions of free will
J.K. Rowling Claims Her Statements On Transgender Women Have Been ‘Profoundly’ Misunderstood In New Podcast
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, whose statements on transgender people have drawn widespread criticism over the years as transphobic – including from some of the Potter film franchise’s biggest stars – now says her viewpoint has been “profoundly” misunderstood. In a trailer for the new podcast...deadline.com
************, I said "if" for a reason...I'm sorry, I have no idea how you have watched/read anything involving Rusty and come to this conclusion. Rusty, by his own admission, isn't even "good."
Either you're not familiar with Doctor Who, in which case this is a waste of time, or you are, in which case I have no idea how you could have watched Into the Dalek/Twice Upon a Time and had THAT as a takeaway. And that's not even the only example.
As a throwaway example of a well known character that proves his race isn't always evil. For morons, that only proves his race is always evil somehow. The contradiction regarding that relationship to Slytherin House being always evil is somehow not noticed.Also, you've done plenty of the same - you brought up Drizzit for example, not me.
Mate, you think a demonic entity being able to choose between tacos and burgers while being inextricably bound to an alignment is Free Will, we aren't resolving this argument.And where are the text-based definitions of free will in these settings? What quotes can you provide?
No, you said "It's establishing they're gits because they choose to be, not because it's part of their inherent nature." I then explained why this isn't the case. You went on a tangent about "if" there are good daleks," despite the fact that I'd just stated as to why there are no "good" daleks. You're either missing the point or ignoring it.************, I said "if" for a reason
So I'm going to step back a bit here - I've been scouring the Forgotten Realms wiki, and yes, there's 'good' drow outside Drizzit.As a throwaway example of a well known character that proves his race isn't always evil. For morons, that only proves his race is always evil somehow.
1: Drow are a species, Slytherin is a group - there's a choice in the latter, not the former.The contradiction regarding that relationship to Slytherin House being always evil is somehow not noticed.
Does Warhammer even use an alignment system like DnD does? If so, I've never encountered it. There's not really a single faction in WFB that can be called "good," IMO, even if some factions/species come closer than others.Mate, you think a demonic entity being able to choose between tacos and burgers while being inextricably bound to an alignment is Free Will, we aren't resolving this argument.
If any member of an always evil species can "just happen" to be not evil, short of divine intervention or other meddling, then the species isn't always evil and you keep using that phrase wrong. What's the threshold? Two individuals? 5? A villiage? There's lots more than one Tok'ra after allSo I'm going to step back a bit here - I've been scouring the Forgotten Realms wiki, and yes, there's 'good' drow outside Drizzit.
However, if Drizzit was the only "good" drow and that remained the case, then yes, it would be fair to say that drow, as a whole, are always evil, and that the exception proves the rule. (Stop Using This Phrase Wrong)
If a race is evil, and one of them just happens not to be evil, that doesn't change what's generally true.
Irrelevant to the argument about Nazi house1: Drow are a species, Slytherin is a group - there's a choice in the latter, not the former.
Wizards aren't human and are, in fact, a distinct fictional construct2: Drow are elves, Slytherins are human - elves can operate under whatever rules a writer chooses for them, humans are, well, human
I watched Jim for probably 5 years and he was a guy at that point. That's the association I have, that's what I think of when I think of him, and, I'm sorry, but I just don't care to change that to spare the feelings of someone who is never going to read what I write anyway.I mean the people who keep saying "he/him" instead of "they/them." Easy mistake to make, I suppose, but at some point I start to wonder if it's deliberate.
And yeah, they are a non-binary trans fem. I don't know if the name change was legal.
Yes daddy.If any member of an always evil species can "just happen" to be not evil, short of divine intervention or other meddling, then the species isn't always evil and you keep using that phrase wrong.
The fuck should I know? Usually it's up to the author.What's the threshold? Two individuals? 5? A villiage?
Yes, and you might recall that I'm the one who cited the Tok'ra as one of the few examples I could think of that met the critiera.There's lots more than one Tok'ra after all
"If any member of a Nazi house can "just happen" to be not a Nazi, short of divine intervention or other meddling, then the Nazi house isn't always evil and you keep using that phrase wrong."Irrelevant to the argument about Nazi house
Shoo, troll.Wizards aren't human and are, in fact, a distinct fictional construct
Irrelevant, factions and cultures are made of individuals.But the Tok'ra are a whole faction and culture, not a handful of randoms.
In the main book series, there really aren't. Best you can say is there's one (1) shiftless grifter who happens to be more self-serving than evil. Bring in the expanded universe and you have one (1) person who quit and 2 kids who *really* don't seem like they belong there."If any member of a Nazi house can "just happen" to be not a Nazi, short of divine intervention or other meddling, then the Nazi house isn't always evil and you keep using that phrase wrong."
Or, going by your critiera, Slytherin can't possibly be a Nazi house, because there's at least one Slytherin (there's more, but whatever) that isn't a jackass.
'Tis true: humanity cannot use magic and magic use is hereditary. Meanwhile, Wizards are capable of interbreeding and passing along said magic not only with humanity, but with Veela, a race of all female, barely sentiment shapeshifting siren-like harpies that don't count as people; Giants, a race of stupid, well...giants whom also don't count as people; and House Elves, everybody's favorite slave race who're almost entirely incapable of withholding consent; probably among othersShoo, troll.
I still watch Jim Stephanie and I often find that I have to mentally correct myself when I incorrectly misgender them, since my history is similar to yours. You said you don't care, but I want you to know that you encourage others to think of them as a male when you refer to them with male pronouns.I watched Jim for probably 5 years and he[sic] was a guy at that point. That's the association I have, that's what I think of when I think of him[sic], and, I'm sorry, but I just don't care to change that to spare the feelings of someone who is never going to read what I write anyway.
I also still call Mark Wahlberg 'Marky Mark' so you can choke on that as well.
Oskar Schindler was a nazi.Or, going by your critiera, Slytherin can't possibly be a Nazi house, because there's at least one Slytherin (there's more, but whatever) that isn't a jackass.
How can you be non-binary if you're trans too? Like what's the difference between a nonbinary who isn't trans and one who is? If it's just becoming the other gender, isn't non-nonbinary? (binary)I mean the people who keep saying "he/him" instead of "they/them." Easy mistake to make, I suppose, but at some point I start to wonder if it's deliberate.
And yeah, they are a non-binary trans fem. I don't know if the name change was legal.
Male is sex not gender so that bit hasn't changed, you can only change your gender which is a cultural and behavioral thing, male is about your chromosomes and stuff lol.I still watch Jim Stephanie and I often find that I have to mentally correct myself when I incorrectly misgender them, since my history is similar to yours.

And aren't these all individuals?In the main book series, there really aren't. Best you can say is there's one (1) shiftless grifter who happens to be more self-serving than evil.

Wizards/witches are humans. Humans with magical abilities, but humans.'Tis true: humanity cannot use magic and magic use is hereditary.
I think GX is the guy you want, not me.Oskar Schindler was a nazi.
You see where this is going.
There is no difference.How can you be non-binary if you're trans too? Like what's the difference between a nonbinary who isn't trans and one who is?
"Male pronouns" doesn't mean the pronouns have chromosomes. "Male clothing" doesn't mean the clothes have a literal penis.Male is sex not gender so that bit hasn't changed, you can only change your gender which is a cultural and behavioral thing, male is about your chromosomes and stuff lol.
But humans don't have magic abilities.. therefore, how can you say that wizards are human?Wizards/witches are humans. Humans with magical abilities, but humans.
Oh that's easy: not all wizards are evil. But except for our specialist boy, the sorting hat *does* choose via innate characteristics.And aren't these all individuals?
I can go point by point, but within the same post, one minute you're championing the individual (Tok'ra), the next, you're generalising the group (Slytherin).
The Wizarding Gene might skip a generation or two in particularly weak bloodlines but those are called Squibs. Humans never make the make the jump from human to wizard spontaneouslyWizards/witches are humans. Humans with magical abilities, but humans.
Fucking obviously. We're talking about a decent whimsical children's series that's made catastrophic world building decisions trying to be a grown-up series for adults on a videogame forum.This is pure sophistry.
I know about squibs, and muggles, and all that, all of these things are human.The Wizarding Gene might skip a generation or two in particularly weak bloodlines but those are called Squibs. Humans never make the make the jump from human to wizard spontaneously
