We are so back Zygardebros
I mean you’re right nothing on this fourms do matter and I’ll point that out. It’s about enjoying the experience regardless of how others perceive it.In the grand scheme of things nothing posted anywhere on these forums matters if you look at it like that. It's more to do with a fair discourse for me, and I consider false statements like "the league is fake" unfair discourse because it's simply not true. It is an actual league in this show, it's called a league, the show certainly places at least as much importance on it as on any other league and even spends significantly more episodes on it than on the others. That's not an opinion, that's just a fact, and I don't think facts and opinions should be treated equally or interchangeably.
To bring up a somewhat unrelated but comparable example, if I say that Misty is a male character I'd also trigger people because that's simply not true. She's a female character. I can bring up that she has short hair, rarely ever wears dresses, and frequently behaves with violence and ferocity all I want and then say it's my opinion that she is not a "real woman", but that doesn't make my 'opinion' any more true as it is not a subjective thing.
I’m not implying facts and opinions are “equal” nor that you can’t argue your perspective, but some people get way too invested over defending a fictional tournament (the same is true for those who detest the League) which is the point I’m getting at: it’s not about the opinions; it’s how you handle them.
Ignoring the fact that you’re comparing gender stereotypes to a fictional league, I don’t think anyone would get triggered. At the most they’ll correct you and afterwards ignore you because you’re most likely being a troll. And if you truly think that, oh well. As long as you’re not being a jerk, I couldn’t care less about how you feel about her.
Again, it’s about how you respond to such a statement. There have been people who find the League “fake” but have said so in a respectful manner and people would still respond to as if they were insulting them personally. Nothing unfair about it. But I’ll leave that here before the thread gets derailed since this is going to back and forth with semantics which will end up as a “agree to disagree”. Doesn’t change the fact that people don’t see the League as fake nor will it impact the League’s existence in any capacity regardless of its legitimacy.
