Well, can't say I'm entirely surprised this is happening.

@Ghostel1463 -character in the story being either a complete moron or a Columbo villain, and that scene compounds every issue I've had with the entire series into one neat package.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Ghostel1463 I watched that scene a few weeks ago, and I'm inclined to agree it's not just edgy slop. Because it's also a story with an inconsistent format, poor justifications for said format, weird anachronistic shit, and a plot that can only progress by way of every single active-

@Jaco_1907 Has it crossed your mind at all that maybe the solution to petty fandom bullshit isn't knowingly perpetuating petty fandom bullshit just to piss somebody off?

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@AABatteries21 Datamining the demo, basically. All of the player's in-game sprites are labelled in the files as "chara" (short for "character")

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@sburbanon -making broad, sweeping claims about what they're even trying to say.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@sburbanon Everybody going "but anon, Active vs Passive isn't selfish vs selfless" is missing the point of what they're trying to say in relation to the past few weeks of discussion. This is about evidence regarding the active/passive dichotomy being outright ignored in favour of-

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Wokelander_alt3 Also if you said this kinda "I get to decide what to refer to you as because they/them is neutral" shit to a real NB person you'd get your teeth kicked in.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Wokelander_alt3 Two out of the three endings make a point of how the player is an entity separate from Frisk and Chara and your only possible indication of the contrary is a localization book Toby didn't write and whose creator said not to treat as gospel.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi Ok, fuck this, you have to be trolling or something equally stupid and I'm not going to humour it any longer. Goodbye.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi What the fuck does that even mean, how is that a significant use of her powers that suggests Maid is active

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi Time does not magically make a future Dave to inspire Dave to do time travel, it's HIM INSPIRING HIMSELF BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY PERSON WHOSE USAGE OF TIME HE TRUSTS, this literally only works if you're still thinking of future Dave as a separate entity from Dave himself

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi "Buying time for herself" because she god-tiered was a natural consequence of her helping the timeline move along as it should, because she's the MAID of TIME and that was a REWARD for doing her job.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi This literally does not change or meaningfully challenge what I just said.

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi Under your own logic Lord is passive because Caliborn has to maintain loops to ensure his own rise to power. That's not bad faith that's just applying your logic to the rest of the classes

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi The only other time we see the other Aradiabots get used is as a stall tactic against Jack. One of several instances where Aradia uses time-based powers to buy time for others and keep the timeline moving along as it's meant to

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi Are you going to argue that the defacto most passive class is actually active because Calliope does things? Because that's effectively what you're doing right now

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi The point I'm making is that the person who decides that Dave has to do time bullshit and complete a loop is *also* Dave, and an arbitrary difference in how far along any given Dave happens to be doesn't change that he's still the one establishing the loops in the first place

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi And who is his future self?

[Yankee Jim @YankeeJim5]

@Cuneyt_S_Sevi You seem to be reading the "for a certain purpose" part as referring to a purpose defined by the aspect's will, and not one trying to bend the aspect's function to their own will.
