    Hearthstone tournament's feedback

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    Since I didn't contend last time the only thing I can complain about is they way you set the dates for those tournaments. Just like last time I won't have time because of school. That's kinda annoying lol. That's definitely something you have to work on :kappa:

    I argued that avatar fits into anime better (in my opinion, never stated it as fact. you see, i wrote "feels very eastern to me" and not "is very eastern". big difference) due to the themes/motifs present. i am not alone with this opinion and there have been plenty of arguments about it in the past.

    also i never said that you can't state your opinion, i am against you forcing your views onto others and stating it as a fact instead of stating it as an opinion. you just said "those are not anime", which doesn't contribute to the discussion at all. if you had said "i don't view them as anime, because..." or "i don't think it counts as anime" or "this isn't anime to me" that would have been just fine.

    me saying "if others count it as anime, then it is absolutely fine and their choice" was deliberately taken out of context here. with "it" i was CLEARLY refering to avatar and not just any random show. also spongebob and twd are clearly not anime, because they don't deal with the themes/motifs associated to anime at all. i never claimed they could be counted towards anime. stop constructing a strawman here by taking my quotes out of context.

    You said " Avatar feels very eastern to me AND it fits better in the "anime" category " You didn't say it feels like it fits better in the anime category.

    I said they are not anime that's it. That is my opinion and I never told anyone to agree with me or else... or something like that. Saying that I forced my views onto anyone is just wrong.
    Also if I had said "I don't view them as anime, because..." that would not have resembled what I wanted to say. My post was supposed to have a meaning like "I think you shouldn't list them here because..." and by just stating the reason my point should be pretty obvious.

    It was not taken out of context. May point doesn't change at all if it would be "if others count Avatar as anime" instead of "it". There's no difference, you basically said that people can randomly decide if avatar is anime or not and if that's the case for Avatar then why shouldn't it be for TWD? Again, it's my choice to count TWD as anime or non anime right?

    Avatar feels very eastern to me and it fits better in the "anime" category than in the western animation category.

    now you can really argue about this and never get to a satisfying conclusion and that's fine. but calling others out for "not listing anime" as if it was a fact that avatar doesn't belong here is really not nessecary. if others count it as anime, then that's absolutely fine and their choice. there is no need to go as far as say that the entire discussion has no meaning because of ONE controversial show. that's a slippery slope fallacy and i am pretty sure you are aware of that. please stop trying to shut down the discussion because others disagree with your opinion. that's not how discussions work.

    You say that Avatar fits better in the "anime" category as like it's a fact and then you call me out for acting like things are facts? Quite hypocritical don't you think? Who the hell are you to tell me not to state my opinion just because you disagree? Because in my opinion Avatar is just as much anime as a strawberry is a berry.

    "If others count it as anime, then that's absolutely fine and their choice." So you wouldn't mind me counting Spongebob or The walking dead as anime? I mean it's my choice right? I know there's a difference but by saying this thread is pointless I meant that if we stop caring about what actually is anime and what isn't this "Favorite Anime" thread could as well be called "Favorite Show" and there wouldn't be any difference.

    Honestly, nobody cares what lable you want to put on a show. why is it important where a show was made? how does that define its qualitys/genre? avatar is disinctly eastern in style, in my book i'd count it towards anime (that is in case anime is an actual thing with meaning and not just a lable for jap animation).

    not convinced? then please tell me if dark souls is a "j-rpg" or not. it is clearly more western in style, isn't it? it lack the typical elements of japanese style rpgs, but it's still from japan.

    If we don't care about what makes anime what it is then this entire thread is pointless and we should talk about favorite series instead. Avatars animations and everything else are more similar to western animation styles than eastern ones, a different drawing style doesn't change that.

    I have never played dark souls and don't really know anything about it so I can't answer that.
