See? "Conceptual erasure resistance!!!1" because apparently a kid couldn't convince himself that their imaginary purple dragon friend wasn't real, and so he came back.
This is exactly the type of comically overanalytical, hyperliteral behavior that I'm talking about.
No, he didn't get conceptually erased nor did he "Regenerate" magically. These are interpretations that would only come from the mind of an adult seeking to give the character a profile in a Vs Debating site to use him on threads for memes. This is not a legitimate, honest interpretation that anyone else would have.

I'm skeptical of this because when nearly everything in the series consists of children imagining things along with their imaginary friend Barney, I feel *VERY* skeptical about believing that anything they do is having a true lasting effect in reality instead of just showing the children who watch the show the terrors wonders of imagining these things and how their imaginary friend is the evil overlord of darkness so nice to be around and can do a lot of stuff for them to have fun.
It honestly seems to me like exactly what the show keeps talking about every single time: Purely imagination.

https://youtu.be/Os3LM2MTKr4 11:54 Yeah, if barney was just imagination, he would just get deleted. He is real and his profile is valid.

I'm fine with a profile, but I am not fine with "Barney can regenerate from conceptual erasure"

This thread is turning into nonsense.
If Barney appeared in a photograph, which I haven't seen yet and am assuming is legit because I trust Crab, then he isn't mere imagination. That much is obvious.

This point has been rendered moot many times over already, Kyne.Kyle Ramos said:
And I don't understand your immediate fixation with the character and the agreement with everything Bob is proposing considering you've been banned for many months.

I can agree with that as we lack feats and that sort of stuff which is fair enought.ZacharyGrossman273 said:
Anyways, here´s the second thread I did before, please read the current topic so it isn´t just left at a side, however.

@Kep In fairness, the children could imagine him being in the picture as much as they could imagine him making stars out of nowhere.

OR it's just something that you're not supposed to take so heavily into account and place above the entire premise of the show, and interpret so literally. In fact, such an inconsistency should be dismissed in favor of the consistent idea of the character, rather than commit character assassination because of a single picture.Kepekley23 said:

@ Matt
Because I want to. Simple as that. I've already told other people this: nobody has any authority on how I use my free time.
Secondly, I am merely stating facts: the fact that Barney has an actual, physical effect on the world around him is just that, a fact. An objective truth.
Despite that, you're basically arguing for Tier 11 Barney right now.

Anything to add other than memes?
@Crab
Just move to the other.

You don't know the author's intent, so this is at best worthless and even if we assumed that to be the intention, it is completely irrelevant in this wiki and always was. I really can't care less about the intent of the author if the show clearly shows the opposite taking place

No, Barney even has surprised them and done things unexpected to them, Barney is clearly not just what you think.FateAlbane said:

@Kep
1. It's not worthless because what's effectively being done here is ignoring the entire basic premise of the series. Rather than go by one picture we should go by the basic idea of the character that's firmly established.
2. It's not about 'Author Intent', it's about internal consistency. And authorial intent isn't completely worthless or dismissed. Or else we wouldn't accept interviews, guidebooks, additional statements or whatever if found possible.

...I personally see this as taking a show directed at children that is and always has been about "everything is the work of your imagination" or children imagining stuff in general and having fun with it and taking it LITERALLY as Reality Warping/Actual Reality and feats shenanigans. Which is antithesis to the series in my eyes.
That seems to me as thinking of the show in the entirely different direction of what is actually being portrayed.
Since I do not agree with this approach, I'll have to say I'd be against a Barney profile too if that's the way it's going to be handled. No, I do not have a thing against the character in itself. I just feel like sharing the opinions that the way it's being treated/rated is inherently wrong - thus if that's how it's going to be handled, count me along those against it.
