You mean the same redundancy that already exists in the sentence as it uses different synonyms for infinity("limitless" and "endless")?
Goofy ass argument
Tbf that also started from me. I was annoyed at that moment, since the argument wasn't going anywhere. Which is why I won't engage any further since I don't see any productive discussion or progress on this topic when arguing with Dread.
Well yes it's something that relies on common sense to communicate the point.
I think you missed the point. Comparisons between "good" works will be so vague and subjective that bias can't be avoided. Because "writing" is much much more vague than "who wins in a fight". But I guess expecting...
Can't comprehend what you are saying here.
I never said it's different. I said that it is much more subjective.
That's not objective. That's just collective consensus (even that is debatable). Popularity=/=Better.
Obviously. However you can't really compare these factors without bias when two...
Walter White, Saul Goodman and Johan Liebert for 9-C
Both Walter and Saul are excellent shakespearean tragic heroes that I believe don't need an explanation since they are very mainstream. Johan is also pretty well known. His character explores a very interesting concept and is very complex...
The issue is you can't really measure any of the categories that you think constitute "good writing". You can (possibly) measure the amount of writing a character has but you can't objectively argue which one is better executed.
And I don't think I need to explain why more writing doesn't...
Beatrice for 1-B
A very charming and well characterized antagonist with a lot of thematic, psychological and character depth along with an extremely tragic backstory and conclusion and multiple insane plot twists and cruel subversions of expectations.
I know that sounds like a very generic...
Nah this is much much more subjective than vsdebating lol.
In vsdebating you at least have an end goal where one side has to win. In writing comparison there's no end goal. Two sides can have different opinions on what makes for good writing.
I personally prefer characters that explore unique...
That's understandable but a summarization can never truly capture the actual execution of a character. A character can sound simple/shallow from a description but can still have excellent execution. So idk if that's the way to go.
Making a list is kinda impossible because this is something that can't be evaluated (relatively) objectively unlike powerscaling. You can post essays to justify why you think someone is a good character but there's really no debates/discussions to be had tbh. Everyone has their own picks and...
If you are choosing two experts for every verse I would suggest...uhh... choose one person who supports the verse and another person who opposes it(while still being knowledgeable) to avoid conflict of interests.
??
The pic you posted is unrelated to what you said. Unless the japanese is what proves your point, in which case provide translations from a credible source.
Edit: oh
That's not what we were talking about. You said the set theory thing is supported by the story, which is an absolutely false claim backed by nothing. Without the author's random twitter answers to loaded questions they are very much just complete buzzwords unsupported by the text before and after.
Ah yes the passage of the story that mentions some infinity buzzwords and then immediately starts talking about time travel fuckery as if it's directly a conclusion derived from the former. I too remember the part of set theory which linked cardinals with time travel and last thursdayism.
Which makes 0 sense with the context of the story btw but pop off sure.
True. Instincts just take over whenever I see what I perceive to be intellectual dishonesty and misinformation.
Yet the interpretation that the word for "density" means "cardinality"(which makes 0 sense with the context of the story btw) supposedly comes from the author. You can't have your own cake and eat it too.
But I guess arguing about it is useless.
