My god, Unfair, you are the biggest fucking shitposter on this entire board.

Aka "You disagree with me but I can't argue with you on merit so I will just insult and degrade you to protect my worldview."

Sad but not unsurprising.

There's a difference between taking a break to recuperate and never doing tours again.

Nobody said otherwise

Only the latter is "letting the terrorists win". The former is completely reasonable and expected after an unexpected attack.

That's your opinion. I'd argue giving up on values, society and way of life is letting terrorists win. Going "Yeah I gave up on values and society but only a little bit!" doesn't really fit here.

Look up the life of Philippe Pétain as I am near certain you've never heard of him and you'll see the reality.

Even in a war with soldiers during a sudden attack or ambush stopping what they're doing at the time and making a tactical retreat to readjust is the smartest thing to do and that doesn't mean they lost at all. Continuing to blindly fight when you're surrounded in a disadvantage and extreme danger is actually what is emotional and pragmatically moronic

False equivalence.

Her concerts are to bring everyone together and sing in celebration of her songs. There's only sorrow, regret, and sadness in everyone's heart now in light of what happened. Fans may even fear for their lives for going to a concert. If youre a parent, would you let your own go an evening after the bombing at her concert? So likely, its in the best interests of everyone to allow time for the mourning and healing of those who were lost.

Gonna turn to Japan's children's games for this one where two characters argue about the point of entertainment following death and destruction.

Tidus: "Praying for victory's all good...but is this right?"

Wakka: "Something wrong with enjoying blitzball?"

Tidus: "Is this really the time?"

Wakka: "This is the only time! The players fight with all their strength; the fans cheer for their favorite team. They forget pain, suffering... Only the game matters! That's why blitz has been around for so long. Least that's what I think."

Tidus: "Whatever you say."

Thanks to @Shotgunnova for his gamescript FAQ as I couldn't find a video on Youtube

I'm saying that the attack is as big an issue as any drastic emotional situation that might happen in her life. If there was a big emotional event that happened in her life, I'd say it's fine taking time off. That's what I'm comparing this attack to. It's an emotional moment and she's taking time off to cope.

I don't get your point.

It appears to be "If this wasn't a terrorist attack and she just had emotional problems, you'd view it differently than you'd view terrorist attacks!"

Erm.... yeah? So would the entire population of the world.

Not unconvinced that a dog wouldn't treat the scenarios differently.

I don't get you on this one.
