Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

<Snipped quote by Onarax>

I just rewatched the opening and found that. Does that make the blonde one Qrow? Cause Qrow's supposed to wield a similar weapon to Ruby and the black haired guy was carrying a Monado type sword.

We don't actually know that that was a team picture. While it's is obvious that Summer Rose and Raven Branwell are in the photo we have no evidence to suggest that the other two are Qrow and Tai-Yang.

@Prince of Seraphs

Qrow is indeed the black haired man. I don't know why he's wielding the bigass sword ya, but thats qrow.

Also Qrow's render was shown a while back. Pretty much the same appearance, so that's the evidence.

Sometimes I'm not the smartest man.

Sometimes I'm the dumbest person in the room.

I'm gonna be honest, I was responding without understanding what you originally said, because I saw the opinion thing out of context.

Today, I was the compact bastard, but I will own up to my mistakes and continue the conversation.

<Snipped quote by Nytem4re> I'm trying to convey that believing something exists or not isn't a matter of opinion, but rather a matter of perspective. Kind of like the creationism vs Darwinism, its all about how you perceive the world. Some people, like you, believe patriarchy exists because there was a patriarchy, and it still lingers in some areas of the world. Some believe patriarchy doesn't exist because, while it was present in our world, we have put the majority of it behind us.

<Snipped quote by Nytem4re> I do ridicule people a lot, but you have to understand that it's my way of saying that you're worth my time ridiculing.

Or maybe I'm a dick. Again, it's all perspective.

@BrobyDDark

Perspective is almost the same as opinion- Unless you're talking about a different definition of perspective. At least I think perspective is a point of view.

<Snipped quote by Nytem4re> lol ur wrong

@BrobyDDark

I'm going to go cut myself now brb

<Snipped quote by Nytem4re>



How would having an opinion on whether something like the patriarchy existing even WORK? It's not like your favorite fucking color.

@BrobyDDark

I'm not even sure what you're trying to convey. I also stated that patriarchy existed before, not like I pretend it's an old wives tale.

Maybe I should have clarified it to extent it actually affects modern society, but you might just ridicule me for saying that as well.

Maybe you could actually try and tell me why my reasoning is faulty instead of saying lol you're wrong, but then again this is spam. Maybe I was naive to think a rational conversation could last long.

TOP KEK.

@Ace of Hearts

Do you disagree with me? You're entitled to your opinion. Just curious.

My school received a shooting threat today.

@KnightShade

I honestly think whether patriarchy exists is a matter of opinion. I can admit it did exist, but the extent it carries on into modern society is up to interpretation.

Toxic masculinity is also one of those grey areas for me. I agree with it somewhat, just not full acceptance.

@Vilageidiotx

Which is why I said radical feminists rather than just feminists. I have had many civilized conversations with feminists, and I have had a few bad "debates", if they can even be called that. Though I may disagree on some of their points, I don't berate nor do I insult them for their opinion.

My school received a shooting threat today.

I think you misinterpreted what you quoted. Like, nothing you said flowed from the definition you provided. It seems they are saying that 'toxic masculinity' describes men feeling socially pressured to behave in a way that is accepted as masculine even if doing so is destructive to them. They aren't saying that men are innately violent, but rather the opposite, that men are being pressured into behaving that way despite their instincts. Knowing the way teenage boys work because I was one once, I think there is some validity to that.

I don't know if it is relevant to this case or not, but the concept as a whole isn't crazy unreasonable. You just have to avoid the reactionary knee-jerk when you read about it. They aren't blaming you, relax, they are just hypothesizing how social constructs related to gender might have an effect on a case like this.

@Vilageidiotx

The only problem I have with toxic masculinity as they present it is that they claim it is the work of the patriarchy. Actually, both males and females contribute to male stereotypes, not just males, which is not what they claim it to be (patriarchy)

Another problem I have with this concept is that it is most commonly used by radical feminists to blame men for pretty much everything they have an issue with. And yes, they have used this term in order to fit their agenda that only males are capable of such violent acts as these.

It's something that is actually a decent theory, but is misused dreadfully and blame is disproportionately placed in general on males, as if everything wrong in the world is because of us solely.

@Guess Who

You have my permission to. Sorry about that, college is busy af right now.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Yeah I realize, but I still see no proper objective reason why we shouldn't use headers.

@Sho Minazuki

Maybe I would have been more objective if I was not indirectly insulted by your words, or that behavior where you replied to others views in an extremely negative way. I find it hard to take your civil words seriously when you have admitted you have caused what is essentially a tantrum to get noticed, and then insult everyone else who doesn't agree with you.

I may also point out I never called you lazy- Rather I said you don't devote enough time to this rp. That is not the same as laziness, though I have to admit personal opinion, so there you go.

You used anecdotal evidence yourself. You said this rp does this works in that rp, so this rp should do it too- Basically saying "I know an rp that does it so we should to." Yeah sure, you wanna call others out on shit, I can too.

And most people don't really have a major problem in figuring out character locations, though some get confused I admit, though most posts generally get the idea through, even without headers. The fact that people have responded to your idea with stiff resistance is honestly enough proof to me that headers should always be optional, nor should people be forced to do so if they do not wish to.

And yes, this seems to be mainly your problem. Again, if it was such a fancy schmancy idea, why hasn't it been implemented out of free will? Because perhaps some people don't have this problem.

Sure, ignore me. But don't whine when others kindly ignore your request for your headers in return, or don't do it the way you want to. I am done talking about this, since you clearly aren't receptive to others opinions and views.

I would not blame them at all. And anyone that does not wish to use a header should not be forced into doing so. And they sure as hell shouldn't feel obligated to, since this is not your rp to begin with.

<Snipped quote by Plank Sinatra>

I don't think the characters were ever a problem it's location that some people are having trouble with.

@Prince of Seraphs

I understand if you're reading posts and still not getting location, but he just flat out said he wasn't reading nor even skimming. That is my main problem there. I think he has no right to complain when he is not even putting effort into the rp. If he wants to go on imgur fine, but why complain about how we're wasting his time. If he doesn't properly schedule time for rp that's his fault, not ours.

As for location, yes, sometimes without a header it can get confusing. But generally through context clues you can figure out where someone is, or you simply find out who they are interacting with in the post they have made, and generally one of the two will have mentioned where they are.

I am fine clarifying for others, which is why I will start using headers myself; however, but I find it aggravating someone who will not even SKIM let alone read posts wants headers. I agree wholeheartedly with NarayanK, you should be reading or at the very least skimming posts. It's how you interact in a world that is not singularly yours, but a world shared by multiple people. You learn relationship dynamics between others, their personalities, I could go on. It's part of the rp experience I have always enjoyed.

Again, if people don't want headers, it's fine. If you don't prefer using them, by all means, ignore them. You can write setting and who you're interacting with, or perhaps have the character think/talk about what class he/she is in. More of an incentive to actually read posts too.

<Snipped quote by Nytem4re>

Unfortunately it was necessary.

Again, 3rd time. High drama version that makes me look like an ass was the one that got the most attention. I was aware of it all myself.

All the others where I was civil didn't seem to get any attention if at all.

Everyone's using them now, but I'll probably keep an eye out.

But the main reasoning is that not all of the players are the few of you who "don't need to use headers". It'll be helpful for when we get newcomers, and it makes the IC look neat and easier to follow and find posts relevant to yours, rather than making your own little circle of friends within the RP by just remembering whose post to look for.

Like this without setting it up in OOC, we can have our characters communicate, since we know where they are.

@Sho Minazuki

I honestly think it was not necessary at all.

You had a problem. You could not figure out where characters were- people gave you multiple solutions. You could skim, look at the doc, or ask in OOC. But you only wished for your solution to be pushed forward, the one that was most convenient for you, despite what you want to say on the matter. Because you clearly ignored or ridiculed anyone that attempted to say otherwise. Is compromise so dirty?

I'm sorry but some of us would prefer to use those few moments of clicking and scrolling to do something more fun.

Like browsing imgur.

@Sho Minazuki

And this pisses me off. You have basically told us our posts are so boring you can not even bother to skim/communicate with us/go to doc because you'd rather go on imgur. An RP is not something you go in purely for yourself imo, reading others posts is part of the fun, but I guess you have a different view of that.

IF anyone doesn't wish to change/add headers, you know why.

Not because of their inflated ego, as you would suggest.
