Now we got MHA downplay to show how stupid the Naruto downplay is...
Seriously, I have no idea how SB thinks this is fun or general debating. The only places I know that do this are usually seen as shit debating areas anyway(Reddit, Tik-Tok, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube) so how in the hell is this supposed to be "fun"?
Because at the end of the day, this is just a hobby people do to wind down the time and shoot the shit. It ain't supposed to be that serious. Get it the fuck together guys, there's a reason any actual VS. Community worth their salt uses High Ends and Low Ends TOGETHER and Feats Over Statements for precisely shit like this...
Because otherwise, all you will have is Downplay Central and nothing else.
Something I've been generally confused about with these Naruto speed debates is... why do they only happen with Naruto? The analysis of parabolic arcs in jumps, the ability to hear things limiting those things to below the speed of sound, sound based attacks being limited to the actual speed of sound... they're valid interpretations of feats, but they're also basically ubiquitous in media since authors aren't physicists and mostly aren't trying to cater to Vs Debaters.
As pointed out above there's a ton of the same "issues" with MHA, and there's surely way more if the same amount of rigour was put into analysing low end feats, but it doesn't have nearly the same militancy that derails basically any thread about it.
Only Naruto? Only Naruto? You gotta be fucking shitting me, this happens ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME! Anytime people want to downplay a series, it happens. Anytime someone wants to wank a series, it happens. In all of our years of covering Spacebattles, this is practically the impetus of every single series that doesn't take place in a stomp match because surprise, surprise:
Spaceba- no, Downplay Central lack critical thinking skills.
Authors aren't physicians and care for VS. Debates? Well no fucking shit, Sherlock, any VS. Forum that's worth their shit usually has that at the front door which is why downplay attempts are usually laughed off the stage in any real reputable site. Most VS. Debaters know that Authors aren't physicians, know about how our universe works or may even be smart enough to know how their own abilities work.
This is where the constant coddling ultimately gets you at: A Forum that constantly can't debate worth a damn so they do the only thing they can... downplay the shit out of something and ignore it happening in their own series because they can't understand how shit their argument is. This is why we, VSB and other sites laugh at you. I'm not even a fan of VSB and they are far more stable than you could ever be which is just real sad.
