hmm, yes. Maybe I translated it in my head

fair enough

It’s a fairly on-point criticism actually.

I don’t know who stormtoss is. I took it you were saying that this comic artist was like stormtoss but not as bad. Then I offered that we skip all that and talk about the comic instead.

Clear?

I didn’t think my request was that far out but ok, I will watch it in the future.

so you would rather not address this point directly.

So you’re saying that this guy is a nazi and his comics are bad, to some noteworthy degree.

Any comment on his actual point here?

Wrong? I didn’t say anything about wrong.

I said they’re different. Worlds apart in fact.

One is evoked by an imaginary person. The other is evoked by a real person.

It’s as different as bananas and banana-emojis.

Wait, nevermind. I am a worm

No it’s something else. Because imaginary people are totally different from real people.

Hmm that sounds like a profit making opportunity for a technically inclined person.

Just say it. It’s easy. I mean I assume it’s easy. Asking me to pick through your “meme” is ridiculous. Just state your dumb accusation already.

Is it empathy?

I mean, I have empathy for real live people.

But imaginary people? That’s something different.

I know because I know what the medium is like. I have that perspective.

Oh good lord, is it the tiny text at the top? I’m just not seeing it.

How about you just tell me.

I’m sure it was deeply fulfilling. Or some relative equivalent thereof.

And what hearsay am I accused of believing?

There is infinitely more to human interaction than a stream of symbols and images. Trust me on this.

Actually they are more honest. It’s harder to lie. And easier to detect lies. And the repercussions for lying are greater. This makes for less lying.

And that’s without bringing actual firsthand experience into the argument.

No, social media is good for many things, but it is ultimately just a child’s cartoon. A ghostworld.

Just state it plainly. Succinctly. Clearly. Then there will be no room for uncertainty.

I’m really not understanding your argument
