>>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?
>>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.

the first so the entire human species has it as a collective myth that

I remember one article on The Anarchist Library about how The Dark Knight trilogy is just Christopher Nolan projecting his political opinions ("Radicals bad, police good").

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.

>>39149<sign of X>one symptom = diagnosispseuds are so confident spreading pop psych bullshit around without understanding it themselves lol
just say youre incapable of separating fiction from reality and move on
>>39153 >More strawman fallacy<P-psued <pop-psych!<Y-you don't understandWe get it, you have no argument, so take your butthurt projection back to reddit
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.

Also, wtf was this discussion on /meta/? It's a mod board, it's not made for off-topic discussions. You go there, you complain about the site, you leave.
>>6555 Ignoring the "muh puritans" brainlets above and getting this thread back on topic.
The 2019 version of Joker didn't really do anything wrong. The populism that came about from his actions was not his intention all he was trying to do was survive while dealing with mental problems and society's complete disregard for him.
