    I have a sick compulsion where I read the comments on websites, willingly bathing my eyes in filth.

    Feels like the viewers of manga and anime are indoctrinated with their own tropes, forcing “titles” on characters just because they are expecting to see them.

    <Female doesn’t align with male main character> “Ah, here’s the fucking bitch character she’s so fucking annoying why hasn’t the author fucking killed off already?!!1” It’s deranged.

    I was wondering why this reply seemed so weird to me before realizing it was ultimately just saying, “but actually, what I originally said.”

    I also didn’t explain why I thought my pedantic answer seemed more appropriate. I will do so here:

    The instance admins are envisioned as [US] states because they hold general sway over a number of communities, in this metaphor “properties”. They have control, independent from over adjacent “states”. Community mods mirror “landlords” in that they own a “property”(community) and impose specific guidelines about how users, in this metaphor “tenants”, interact with the “property”. The “state”(instance) can arbitrate during disputes and generally won’t allow a “property” to apply guidelines that break their state laws.

    Of course, the “tenants” are providing all the value. The “landlords” can also be replaced without much concern to the “tenants” unless the new landlord has new rules about interactions with the “property.” If the “landlord” has rules that are too annoying or even closes the “property”, the “tenants” might be annoyed but they can take all their stuff with them to a new “property” with different “landlords.” Maybe even move to a place in a new “state.”

    If the guy with fridge says “no more fridge”, all the stuff in the house doesn’t get locked down.

    I understand I’m being a pedant but it sounds more similar to a landlord telling their tenants that the house being rented is legally being moved across state borders. The landlord had house rules under the umbrella of state law and wanted a new umbrella. Tenants are saying “this state is fine and, fuck off, we brought all the furniture in this house.”

    All choices depend on the degree of the power. How much can you lift with telekinesis and how dexterous is? Is magic cantrips, level 9 spells, or something even more arcane? To what level are the speed and strength “super”? Are you a “Captain America” super human or Superman?

    Thankfully, my constant favorites are pretty definite: invulnerability and immortality.

    What even is “psychic” and how is meaningfully different from “telekinesis” and “telepathy”? Is it bundling all the other -kineses? Yeah, I’m giving it too much thought but personally I don’t like discussions based entirely on everyone not having enough information.
