Yes, there can be some overlap in terms of someone thinking "well, I don't think the worldbuilding explanation works on a writing level..." but there are times when it's appropriate to know when to take a step back, and I'm including myself in needing to make an effort to be self-aware and respect needing to meet people where they're at, if that's what you want to do.

    Some of the sources of growing resentment, I think, absolutely comes from the feeling of being willfully misunderstood, or being deliberate reductiveness in the treatment of your perspective or what you're having an issue with to the point of misrepresentation or calling your stance invalid altogether, ala:



    And so it goes.
    Would be lovely if you answered the question I posed. I'm not here to fight. I just want clarity as to why you think this reflects on the writers. It's a strange angle to to come at it from. This isn't the ending to attack on titan for example, where it would make perfect sense to come out it from that angle.

    Nobody is harping on you for wanting to have that discussion. We are gonna harp on you when you derail a thread to have that discussion. This particular thread was about Themis in the name raid that just dropped. A raid finale that doesn't have much to do with the sundering.
