That's the beauty of it bro, we study the source material, page after page, book after book... They won't even know we're actually larping...
And when the questions roll in, we use that knowledge to our advantage and we can keep posing like nothing even happened...
The issue here is that it assumes that the magic is inherently evil, any power must be destroyed. Just because satanic magic exsists does not justify it being hunted
@SydSteyerhart Go to a school that cares about translation, sjc for instance has a ton of translations at the library, and encourages students to do their own work
@SydSteyerhart First off, lay off Wilson, its a decent translation that does a good job of making the book read like an epic with the iambic pentameter. Every translator has a bias they put into the work, even fagles or lattimore.
Second off-
The point is to attempt to do so while capturing the nature of the original. Emily Wilson's homer translations are an excellent example of this, as they capture the nature of the epic far better than fagles.
All translations are flawed, some try to get vibes; some good defintion
Open your mind, and genuinely consider that many people are not evil, they just have a different framework for operation. You do not get to apply your framework in this specific case without far greater argumentation than these accounts will ever give.
Ima say it, abortion discourse is actually just brain dead. One side belives that it is killing another human being, the other believes it is not. Everyone says "god said thou shall not kill" in response to Talirico, which doesnt work becuase he defintionaly thinks differently.
And to make a decision in accordance with that view, meanwhile the pro-life position requires you to fundamentally conform to their worldview in both a legal and personal sense. But seriously, accounts like this piss me off, because they willfully disregard every other view.
