Sympathy for the heretic

You mean the legitimate Thermian Argument?
No problem.
This dude tackles and smashs Dan Olsen's fallacious stupidity.

Creepy Garbage; or, Dan Olsen and the Importance of Believable Hypotheticals

Ah, yes, the smashing of the idea of the thermian argument.

How did this argument get smashed again-

I will end this right now: there is no way in Hell that Women Getting Ripped Apart by Orcs is not a porno.

So what this man is saying is that the criticism of a work having pornographic themes is illegitimate because having pornographic themes means the work is pornography- which, according to him, can't be criticized.

Let's skip over asking 'why can't I criticize porn,' because I'm sure that will lead to a derail of epic proportions, and instead look at it within context of 40k.

If having pornographic themes means that X work is pornographic, it logically follows that having themes of fascist propaganda means that Y work is... fascist propaganda.

Are you sure- like, really 100% totally sure- that this is, in fact, the argument you want to make against the thermian argument in this thread, right here, and right now? That this, specifically, is how you want to defend 40k?

Also, it's not a porno. It's goblin slayer. Which I have been assured - assured - is not a porno, but a very serious anime.

let's stop going around in circles I think this thread is pretty much played out. The thread will be locked while it is reviewed and recent posts are evaluated. Whether the thread will be re-opened will also be determined.
