I fully agree with GodlyCharmander's reply to Ultima Reality, particularly this part
hits where the real issue it. Nothing can be symbolic/allegoric/only representing something w/o being the real thing, and that "nothing can be symbolic" is applied obligatorily as some rule that must be followed. That standard is naive and extremely low for the wiki to have.You seem under the very strange confirmation bias that, because something resembles a concept, then said concept must also be applied.
None of those protests actually matter here. We treat viewing a reality as literal fiction as being enough to qualify for a level of transcendence over it, and that is that, especially if this reality actually exists as a lower world of its own. This is something that has been agreed to for a long, long time now, and I don't think we ought to change that just because you misunderstand how the Tiering System works.
As for the other stuff, though, I'll frankly ask you to concisely summarize what exactly your overall point is. No offense intended but I can tell English is your second language, and, being very blunt here, much of what you're saying is incomprehensible to me.
- I already know and agree with "viewing a reality as literal fiction as being enough to qualify for a level of transcendence over", but say that we do a bad job on how we determine when that's what's actually going on and not something very vaguely similar that should not give Low 1-C at all.
- 1 of the protests was on how the anomaly doesn't have a "higher" world from UT's "lower" one, so idk why you bring up that bit.
- I did not misunderstand how the Tiering System works, I called out how it's immensely vague in that topic and sooner or later you will have to agree with it.
- Yes English is my second language, I did not believe any of what I said was incomprehensible but will see to it and try to be more clear. Personally, I think what I say comes off as incomprehensible because the issues I bring up may be seen as inconceivable, and so if I don't explain them in detail and only approach them casually it comes out as nonsense.
