>>14718 Except Captain America is a super-soldier, h has the physical capability & the tactical skill to use a fairly limited piece of gear in inventive ways (using it as a bludgeon, blocking insane attacks like Mjolnir & using it as a reflector for lasers, not to mention an ad-hoc sled etc.) A gun is a gun, unless its is utilized by a similarly strong character, it's not going to make a big difference from the mass of arms already out there. A more powerful gun is not a big deal because the importance is the person using it.

>>33792Why does mythology generally portray humans attaining fire and such as some kind of theft against the gods done through trickery?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft_of_fireIt seems obvious that these stories have a common origin, but where does the idea come from that fire was stolen specifically or that humans having fire is against the natural order?
No.36067
>>36065In part I'm guessing because the first fires would have been a result of natural occurrences, lightning strikes, heat-based wildfires etc. Then when humans learned to created fire through accident or effort, it was essentially a power of nature taken under control creatively by the hands of man, so now mankind could create what was previously jurisdiction of the gods.
Secondly the idea of stealing it from the gods also comes from the the narrative of intelligence and creative thinking overcoming even divinity and nature - thus the weak, mortal humans, taking from the immortal, all-powerful gods.

>>27639I often think about how the first Superman comic involved him arresting a war lobbyist and torturing him. It was like they couldn’t deal with Superman dealing with real problems at home so they needed him to fight aliens, both literally and figuratively, instead. The first couple years of his comic history had a working class slant.

>>39148 >>breaking toys is like killing people<Look guys, I strawmanned again!Practicing cruelty on animals and toys is literally a sign of psychopathy in children you retard. Nobody said it's just like killing an actual person, moron.
Your other examples are retarded non-sequiturs but which I will address:
>GTA GTA is a game with an age limit for a reason. There've been multiple instances of children/teens that played the game, taking this out into real life to look cool, because children are easily influenced. Also you do realize GTA stands for Grand Theft Auto, an official name for a fairly common felony type, especially in the 90s.

>those who watch hentai are pedophiles Funny how you exclude the specifics of "loli" in that statement. Regardless of if it is a fictional child or not, the appeal is the physical, clearly child-coded appearance, which means it is an attraction to child-coded imagery. Not to mention many lolicon illustrators use real children as model-bases. The fact that you got BTFO on /meta/ does not mean you get to mald on other boards. Fuck off back to reddit.

>playing Call of Duty gives you real PTSD Retarded claim that nobody made. The closest claim is that realistic FPS games can make people aggressive and there is evidence of this.

Also: Children cannot separate fact from fiction until the age of 3 minimum, and cannot reliably do so until they're 12, which is why advertisements directed to children are heavily regulated and cannot exploit something called Pester Power. This also applies for age-limits in media regarding violence and sex, because, again the developing minds of children and teens are influenced by the media they are surrounded by, just as they are influenced by other things in their environment. This has been studied by behavioral science for a long time.

>>39157>It isn't surprising that 99% of the time it's puritans with a layman's understanding of human behavior and clinical psychology that hysterically push these talking points and not actual psychologists, or even agencies that deal with crime, violence, abuse.Not really. It's the sort of thing where you're automatically a good person for doing it and anyone that tries to gainsay you can be dismissed by calling them a "pedophile," who very few people are willing to stick their necks out for.
It's like honey for the kind of people with actual problems that want to make themselves look good. Instead of having to do the hard work of dealing with child abuse or sex trafficking you just get to ride your high horse and complain about icky japanese cartoons. It's so fucking choice.
