"Next" is you remembering this conversation in a few days, years, whatever, and realizing how utterly wrong and misguided you were. Please, just, stop and think about what you've said. It pretty much comes down to this: [b]you don't understand COMPARISON.[/b] [spoiler]also, it seems you're just a lifer victim blamer sooo I'm done trying to convince you to be moral. One day, maybe somebody will take advantage of you and you'll feel crushed, and you'll think back and be like "ahhh FromNowOn was RIGHT! Blaming a victim is WRONG!"... We can only hope....[/spoiler]

  • Not really. This isn't anything to do with morals. It's funny coming from the guy who compared video games to sexual assault. You can put more time into the game and be back where you were in a month. If you're robbed or sexually assaulted it could take years to even feel safe in your own home. But God forbid a kid with shitty parents who don't take up the 5 minutes to set up parental controls gets his shit deleted. Your morals are -blam!-ed if you think this is anywhere near the level of burglary or sexual assault. This could have been avoided if he was supervised and his shit parents didn't let the video game console babysit him. FFS he couldn't even pronounce Achilles correctly.

  • You won't reply because you literally have no argument to stand on aside from its "immoral" news flash dickhead, everything you've said has been nothing but opinion.

  • analogies and hyperboles are two different things. which most of you "moral" white knights seem to not know. Sexual assault and a video game are not comparable in the slightest. Nor is home invasion.

    The acts of -blam!- and playing video games are by no means comparable. The environments and settings in which these scenarios take place are indeed comparable, warranting an [i]analogy[/i]. Here we have an analogy, defined as: "a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification". Hyperboles are not analogies; that is correct. But this is an analogy.

  • Not even remotely. his situation could be avoided by his parents simply not buying him a $400 baby sitter for Christmas. Use parental controls and none of this would have happened. ignorance is not an excuse.

    You can try and deflect my well structured points with all the irrelevancies you'd like, kid. It's still an analogy, by definition of an analogy.

  • Btw the two situations you are comparing aren't comparable "on basis of their structure" so by definition it's not an analogy. lol the kid will NOT be getting anything from bungie and I for one am glad. I'll enjoy my 3 characters and not let people I don't know use my account :)

    Sexual assault of a minor: Adult takes advantage of unsuspecting and naive child. What happened here: Adult took advantage of unsuspecting and naive child. They are comparable on the basis of structure. [spoiler]really, maybe you're just thinking too hard about this analogy thing?? You seem to be having a rough time.[/spoiler]

That's really the only choice you're leaving me with. That doesn't change the basis on which the two scenarios can be compared lol..

  • They're not comparable lol copy and paste all you want. it doesn't change that you're wrong. here's hoping you or someone close to you can experience it do you can see how it changes someone. unlike having a character deleted, which is easy to get over.

    Thank you for hoping that someone close to me is a victim of sexual assault, really paints the picture of who I'm talking to lol, for myself and everyone perusing this thread. You're correct in that the emotional burden of being victimized by these aren't similar, but the initial argument was whether or not this is a form of victim shaming, in which they are still comparable on the basis of structure. That is where the comparison is, not in the emotional toll of either. [spoiler]you're killin it with these analogies tonight, buddy lol[/spoiler]

    You vaguely said that one of either of the two things should happen to someone close to me, nice try. No form of rebuttal to any of the valid points I've posted? That's because you have none; you've taken your own rug out from underneath you. [spoiler]sorry, forgot metaphors and analogies aren't your thing[/spoiler]

  • Metaphors and analogies are fine, hyperboles aren't really useful when debating. Like you said I vaguely said one of the two and you automatically assumed sexual assault, why? because it's the worst one out of the two. as in not on the same level and not comparable. :]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] And none of your points are facts they're all opinion. it's a FACT the kid broke terms of service and should be banned KirmitTheFrog didn't break any ToS.

    Me assuming what you meant doesn't prove anything in your favor, fella. Use empirical logic to support your facts like I do, and you'll have yourself some actual points! Just because you say my facts are opinion doesn't mean it's opinion lol.. Go home troll. You don't even point out any particular points or have any reasoning why they're not actually fact.
