The previous thread avoided debates and spread a ton of misinformation about the feats.
It tried to downgrade the feats because some people like
Jacques Roellinger were able to endure severe injuries which could have resulted into fatal results but didn't. It tries to explain this IRL feat as willpower, when it is just the person having the will to live and being lucky enough to have blood clot over all his injuries so he doesn't suffer blood loss and an eventual death. It is to be noted that this one person was never hit with something which was directly fatal. In fact, through VSBW standards it would pretty much be an athletic-peak human pain tolerance feat. Plus, thank God that this person didn't get all those injuries in one blow and could eventually recover and show enough resilience to eventually serve his country.
Also, it used an example of
Andreas Mihavecz where he could stay hungry and live with minimal water for 18 days. I don't know why this is an example to downgrade the feat.
But none of these things above actually even come close to the torture of the White Room. First of all, yes, students were tortured in the White Room (already scanned). So, this means that they were being dominated, so both the examples above don't come close to this.
The time for which they endured this torture would be 5-9 years (for both Shiro and Yuki, around 10-14 years for Ayanokouji). Also, these kids were around 9 years of age when these feats took place. I couldn't find any source on the internet where kids have endured this much, in fact, most of the kids at this age can die from shocks by even things like being trapped in an elevator in an electricity outage, they were bullied, nope, thrown around, to the point where they would have to stand up, it wasn't cared if they were a girl, and they even sprayed vomits right out from just the bullying:
It is even mentioned that they were sent to the brink of death (and seeing this, they were). If you see the above scan, you should note that their mental resilience was tested, even when the kids were seemingly just paralyzed. Also, this is when the 4th-gen is only 4 years old. Now, imagine enduring all of this for 5 years, and for almost daily, and as a kid, where even normal shocks are more than enough to scar someone for life.
Plus, another reason why the White Room training isn't comparable to any IRL examples is because the training is itself above what a peak human should be able to perform. Around 5 years is like 1827 days and being tortured for such a long time isn't a child's play.
We also know for a fact that the post-White Room trauma was not curable by even huge counselling shows and isolation treatment, but both Shiro and Ayanokouji didn't suffer any of those ill-effects of trauma.
Unless you can find a case where kids of ages this small could endure that much, which you cannot considering how it is literally illegal to conduct experiments like White Room IRL, and they cannot design a "higher than peak human" curriculum either way. We have already accepted enduring the White Room curriculum till level 10 as a superhuman stamina and pain tolerance feat, I don't know why there are doubts for them having no willpower, even though willpower matters a lot in this case.
