...it seems that "hornyposting" might be a no-no on this board going forward. I'm gonna keep posting pics until either this topic hits 500 or they start deleting posts from it, but either way, this will be the last sexy anime women topic. It's been a fun ride.

Nah, she knew what she was doing.

If I remember right, she was making as much noise as she possibly could, and the centaurs very much said the last time they were there "we don't kill kids but do not pull this shit again or we might change that."

No sympathy for traitors. Though she should remember what she did. Not knowing is fucked up.

Speaking of Hermione being scary...

Wasn't it her idea to lure Umbridge into a forest with centaurs? Now nothing is 100% confirmed but...

Given the mythology of centaurs, which doesn't necessarily mean HP are the same, and their "interactions" with human women.

If HP centaurs are the same, then Hermione knew good and well what was in store for Umbridge that night.

I definitely remember Marietta having someone go to her defense by basically saying that she was predisposed towards snitching because she actually believes in the co-I mean ministry of magic being lawful good. I think one of her parents works there or something?

I don't agree.

Ginny always seemed like the girl who Harry grew up around (being at the weasleys all the time, even many times during holiday) and never learned to appreciate. Ginny was always obsessed with Harry until she learned to let go a bit. It isn't until Harry goes through love for looks (with Cho) and then realizes the girl he wanted was in front of him all along and yes jealousy helps this along.

He is deeply familiar with Ginny on a personality level and thought how he could form a connection with Cho was simply through their shared quidditch hobby. Harry was the hero to Cho, whereas to Ginny, Harry is the boy she grew up with.

I am not ok with the thought that people should want third party edits to happen on an official level tournament where money in involved. Because at that point there is a monetary prize involved.

I would until it came to the point that the enjoyment got ruined because the amount if work I do is outdone by the amount others dont.

Thought that was fine as long as it's legit though?

Not in an official level tournament

Alright, don't go crying when you fail the legality check then.

Fact.

Yeah but the characters looked ugly

Someone who put in the work

Outside those that don't gen who lose now

The "grinding" as you call it is the process of obtaining your team and any items you require.

Define blatant? If a mon falls within paramaters does it really mattter where it came from?

Isn't there a legality checker online

VGC is the only community where people think they're entitled to competitive with no cost

Which genning is a part if because of both formt and competitive attitudes.

Outside the fact that it paints a picture that because there is a meta which is used to determine what Pokemon are going to be popular (or any characters in general) that it creates a rather odd sort of stagnation that is ever shifting. And given the competitive nature of these games there is always the want and need for perfect Pokemon. Allowing Genned Pokemon doesn't change this, it doesn't make competitive play have less a barrier. If anything it shrinks a portion of the competitive scene to not bother with playing as intended.

The actual issues more stem from the competitive scene itself the moment a meta was formed.

And they can do that and choose not to enter them into competitions.

At the end of the day it ruins part of how these games are played an encourages cheating for something that has prize money on the table.

Seems like the reputable trainer was probably full of shit huh?

One of the core aspects of pokemon as a series is training and trading. If you value your time enough to raise a pokemon for someone else then you're doing what the series was intended to do

What next? Acting like inanimate objects?

To the people talking about the addict and his girlfriend. You're still not understanding what happened here. Maruki would be changing everyone to cause the least amount of "problems" (though this is actually impossible). IE, the lady probably likes her boyfriend (obviously) outside of the fact that he's a gambling addict, and the man likes his girlfriend but wishes she didn't hate on the fact that he gambles (as in he doesn't see the addiction as a problem). So Maruki takes the path of least resistance and simply makes the lady not dislike the gambling because now she can enjoy her boyfriend for everything. People being able to see the flaws of Maruki's solution is intentional, because it shows the types of problems his full on reality would be running into. Where people suddenly don't care about things that they once did. It's showcasing why he's a human and couldn't possibly fix everyone's problems in the world, no matter how much he'd like to.

The phantom thieves did. And that's only because they were presented with an alternative reality. Everyone else didn't even resist. The fact that regular people actually resisted Yaldabaoth but not Maruki should be the indicator there.

yes. To an extent the archer dude DID want that. You completely missed the point of Maruki 's character.

Okay what if somebodys problem with their sexuality is not that theyre ashamed of who they are, but rather that those around them dont accept them? He could just make everyone tolerant of all sexualities instead of making everyone straight.

Oh, I see. I'm still not justifying it though. If he had "forced it" he wouldn't have given the thieves weeks to contemplate on it. He did what he thought they wanted.

Uh? I never defended his actions, I'm just saying he's not the type to do fucking conversion therapy lol.

The premise itself is also flawed because he would never do something like "conversion therapy" his whole thing is that he's basically a genie. Homie granted every wish the Thieves had (Joker and Akechi notwithstanding)

Futaba got Wakaba back, Yusuke was close to a not-shit Madarame, Ryuji was the star of the track team and took care of his mother. Morgana was a fucken human being.

The idea that Maruki forced his will on anyone doesn't make sense, it's all shit they wanted deep down.

No, no it does not work. African Americans were forced to tolerate their slave owners. And after the slaves being freed, the slave owners had to tolerate their previous slaves having similiar privileges as them. Which did not go well. In order for tolerance to work in a true manner it has to be mutual with everyone. You can't force things like this. You can not make people understand you no matter how much you want to.

She took hormone therapy. I don't know the details of what that entailed. I don't know about surgeries either. It's quite rightly not really our businsess.
She was 44 when she broke the records.

So these dudes are complaining about being overworked yet felt the need to add all this crap lol

But remember, she only has "genuine concerns" and isn't against trans people.

"You trans people have a right to believe in insane bullshit, but don't expect us to play along. I'm totally accepting though."

I get that, since Reddit is also accounting for the ads they serve on the free versions and the premium subscriptions, as opportunity costs. Selig even understands the pricing overall and admits he can significantly lower API calls. Reddit is otherwise ok with apps with no monetization or not abusing the calls. Non-commercial use.

Selig is more pissed because the time they gave him to adjust to all this was too little. That's the difference between actual people pissed at this on Reddit tech related places close to Selig and people on CE and dumber subreddits. The former are pissed because of the time line and sneakiness of it all. And that, some of these apps can adjust and meet the new expectations, just that they need more time. That it would have all been simpler if they said "no more 3rd party apps" outright (let's be honest though, people would still be melting down)

CE is all like "wah greed" and "wah bootlicker" or "mods are protecting you". I want to know what business basically pays for other businesses to make money off them without anything in return. Nobody does that unless it's specifically to non-profit organizations. Selig is not that. He makes a quarter million or more a year off this.

Who agreed?

They're gonna either monetize their users more or monetize the leeches who they have provided charity for and helped them make money for a good decade.

I feel like any tantrum, no matter how dumb it is, is seen as a protest nowadays.

I don't like the changes, but I feel like reddit has let these 3rd party apps slide all these years while letting them make money off their platform, as well as simultaneously costing reddit ad revenue because of no ads.

It was great they did nothing for so long, but they've realized that they don't want the competition and losses anymore and the party is over. So they made the API prohibitively expensive to get rid of the leeches.

Most people do not care.

This whole thing was almost entirely coordinated by a handful (maybe a couple thousand) of mods collaborating together to shut down their biggest subreddits. They claim to have 'taken polls of their users' but many did not. As far as I can tell, the poll results also were not made public (if so, I've never seen the results posted)

Basically this is an attempted Mod uprising more than an actual Reddit user protest. As of today the front page seems to be mostly back to normal and the upvote numbers are what they normally would be (in my experience anyway). So...I don't think this massive site-wide protest is as big as the mods thought it would be.

Somehow you failed to list the actual reason this protest is failing.

and it's why so many users are speaking out against the protest

Maybe so. But point being, it's a major disruption to a service people enjoy using.
