@abhinav999911 @RedSpectre5 I never said otherwise. But the fact that it has worth for the movement debunks BadEmpanadas claim that art is not politicaly useful
English
@Hlib_Koss @RedSpectre5 Yes the symbol is worthless without the movment and struggle, without the Russian revolution it would have been worthless politically.

revolutionary leftist star wars citizen seeing order 66: finally! they destroyed the rich tax exempt clergy class who acted as generals in the inter-imperial war. GLORY TO THE EMPEROR!

@supergeekmike -I think it's fine to have terminology that covers a wide variety of topics. If you would use a different word to describe the consept that's ok
English
@supergeekmike I think there are multiple different ways of using this word. The story telling us that Homelander is immune to bullets is a way of telling us how powerfull he is compared to humans, even though a precise number isn't given. It is a broad meaning of the word "powerscaling", but-
English
Do you guys think “power scaling” is just whether or not somebody has superpowers? Because we already had a word for that.
It’s called “superpowers.” It does a lot of the heavy lifting all on its own.
Definitely_Not_Deuce@DeuceTheUchiha
@samarialainen @spoctorduner then why do the boys fear Homelander? why do they mot just attack him head on? dont they know there's no scale and that they can beat Homelander if the plot wants them to?
English
@GameStrikerX2 @skyatmosa mmm maybe. I don't think it *should* have been a massive deal, but it kind of escalated due to both sides pushing back at each other. Though, I still believe that people fully dismissing it is what started this
English
@Hlib_Koss @skyatmosa The criticism towards the community, I understand, however, I think those who said "it's not THAT big of a deal" are correct, because it really wasn't. That's not to say there wasn't anything wrong with it at all, and those who said that, should also be criticized.
English
why do people feel bad for goose when she didnt feel bad for her black audience and spoke way later with a half assed statement
zara@palewoven
if glitch didn't pull all of that shit last month i could've genuinely cared but i literally do not LOL
English
@GameStrikerX2 @skyatmosa -, Jax's VA appologised which was mature and I respect that. The vast majority of the critisism was pointed towards Goose and the fandom themselves for immediately dismissing the situation
English
@GameStrikerX2 @skyatmosa The word got a reaction *because* it sounded like a slur. They found it very amusing and kept saying for about half an hour. Not all black people took issue with it, but those who did were valid to do so. Ok, this doesn't mean everyone involved has to be instantly deplatformed-
English
@GameStrikerX2 @skyatmosa "vocal minority offended" god forbid minorities are vocal about people not taking the slurs used to dehumanise them seriously. Its easy to not consider it a big deal when it doesn't affect you, white people taking racism casualy is not a good thing
English
@skyatmosa There was nothing to feel bad about, it was a vocal minority offended that somebody laughed because of a word sound-a-like misunderstanding, and I call absolute bullshit if nobody has ever laughed at something like that before. In other words, it was never a big deal tbh.
English
@sorrytotweet @thealexbatts What about the military power of the empire compared that of the rebelion? Does it not matter to the story?
English
@thealexbatts it's crazy because power scaling is just so completely irrelevant to the original trilogy, which are easily the best ones.
English
Oh the power scaling debate started from a Star Wars fan? That tracks
English
@spoctorduner "Toilet paper" meaning "themes" is as ridiculous as powerscaling meaning the scale of power??
English
then imagine someone else comes in and says ‘well, obviously by ‘toilet paper’ he means ‘themes’’
to which the response is obviously ‘then why not just say ‘themes’?’
English
last long thing i’ll say regarding power scaling before the day’s discourse is done
imagine someone goes viral for saying ‘toilet paper is one of the most important factors in any story’
English
Incorrect, read Bordiga’s critique on anti-fascism: libcom.org/article/agains…

Alr I think we’ve lost the plot entirely

“Worldbuilding” is not a fundamental writing mechanic. Like this is absurd
English
@kizu_skip The absolute sophistry of saiyng that powerscaling is creating a scale of power
English
The absolute sophistry of some of these softbrained fools when they claim "you need powerscaling because character x is stronger than character y"
A campfire is bigger than a torch, but you don't need "flamescaling" in stories.
It's just common sense, which they lack.
English
I think the "powerscaling is important for literary analysis" topic is just dumb people trying to pretend their hobby as something way more intellectual and important than it is.
You don't need "powerscaling" to talk about the internal logic of a story or its consistency.
English
@TwoToneShoes @NathanFisheman The difference in speed is crutial to the theme of this story, and is a 100% intentional writing by the author. You don't have to make up new powers for it to be a scale of power, and the description of said power doesn't have to be a precise number
English
@NathanFisheman in the given example it is just assumed that the reader knows the hare is faster than the turtle because you have a human brain that has experienced the world, the fable doesn't ever establish the hare's speed (just it's hubris) but even if it did that is also not power scaling!
English
it's amazing how power scaling obsessed people do everything in their power to try to make it seem like power scaling is the same as narrative consistency. No, a writer writing a story with conflict is not them "powerscaling" the characters in the conflict.
Enma💢 |『 𝙳𝙻𝚂 』@Fan7Xeno
"powerscaling doesn't matter in storytelling" mfs when you ask them why the hare lost to a tortoise
English
@ILMFlinkenstein right wing critical lenses:
-race porn
-power scaling
-that image of the chad tolkien
English
@kaliidyne @DeuceTheUchiha @samarialainen @spoctorduner Egregious logical mistakes detract from the immersiveness, impact and message of a story
English
@DeuceTheUchiha @samarialainen @spoctorduner are you only interested in what the most logical conclusion to any story is? or the correct one based on what the author wants to do with it?
or are you one of those insane people that thinks the most logical ending IS the correct ending?
English
humans outwitting Greek Gods bc they cant directly beat them is powerscaling
Gilgamesh wouldnt be great if just anyone could beat the beasts he did, thats powerscaling
Moby Dick being more intelligent than a normal whale therefore making it harder to kill is powerscaling
Kirby 🏴☠️@comicskirby
Powerscaling is not engaging with story. It’s using minor details and fun facts to make an argument for a hypothetical scenario that you made up in your head.
English
YES IT ABSOLUTELY DOES LMFAOOOO this was a horrible argument 😭
low arctic@LowArctic
@TensaiLuckii you’re into WRESTLING man does powerscaling matter when two dudes are in the ring?
