However, this image will only live on in his altered consciousness. For everyone else, the creature will remain a mythological half-bull, living in a labyrinth and tearing apart, and then devouring, young people. And if someone creates a topic on a thematic forum like "minotaurs - are they cool or not?", and a neighbor writes there about his idea of a smiling minotaur wearing a cassock and sniffing flowers, then he will either be ignored or sent to the infamous three letters. Because opinion is opinion, but no one has ever considered simple sanity to be a negative quality.
What difference does it make what they say? You and Kosha are moving towards something similar to philosophy. Regarding the minotaur specifically, who he is is described in detail in Greek Legends. Regarding the others - orcs, dwarves - the perception is indeed different. Nowhere is it written what they should be exactly, and this also applies to dragons, as Kosha said.

I have never liked blind defenders of copyright, but to distort the original source is, at the very least, bad manners.
Where is the original source? For example, as far as I know, elves in the original source are generally one of the cosmic races, aliens. The original source can be used to judge the same minotaurs, since it comes from the legends. But there is no original source for the others.

For God's sake, break stereotypes and have fun with ancient myths, you can even write your own non-banal bible without stereotypes about the Jewish people, but just don't "force others to take into account a different point of view" in that case.

where is it forcing anyone?

Do you see Eastern dragons in fantasy works? I don't. So don't bring this up.

we are talking about ALL dragons.
Morning

Not imposing. As far as I remember, after my statement, everyone suddenly decided to convert me to their faith, convincing me of their rightness and the limitedness of my words. I'm just cooling down this fervor with facts. Yes, mythological facts, but facts.

I won't say anything, I don't remember what it was about)
Morning

No. Just a little.
The same minotaur, read the legends, its name is telling.
Morning

Didn't see... Did you miss my analogy? Have you not read my posts before? There was also talk about intelligent dragons. More than once. Or is it enough to answer a message to forget it, answering the next one?

didn't see. We didn't see how you acknowledged the existence of any other opinion.
Morning

If you are wrong, then why can you so easily talk about the limitedness of other people?

she didn't say she was right. Only that she might be wrong. By the way, since we're talking about philosophy, the concept of truth is different for everyone.
Morning

Understood and accepted? Trying with all your might to prove my limitedness and wrongness? Abstracting from the topic and moving on to the person?

yes, we accepted, what's stopping you?
Morning

"I'm a moderator and I'll ban you", "oh, she was just kidding" - this doesn't encourage a "semi-flooding manner", whatever that means.
why doesn't it encourage it?

Regarding friendliness - I don't know why you feel offended. Perhaps friendliness lies in putting a lot of emoticons, but excuse me - I don't do that. However, maybe it will be easier for you if I say that I am completely indifferent in this conversation? Not experiencing any dislike? Especially after the apology.

indifferent and cold.

What does the correctness of the option in the poll have to do with it? An option is an opinion. And as you yourself said a little higher - "this is the neighbor's opinion, I won't interfere." So, you can just discuss, without trying to impose anything, or accuse anyone of anything, right?

is it wrong to prove the correctness of your opinion? Unless, of course, you accept the fact that your opinion may be wrong, and someone else's may be right.
Morning

Yes, and then fantasy fans will send him to the three letters for making elves six feet tall and settling orcs in trees. If the book/movie/game/tabletop setting is even released.
Well... At least he fantasized. Ignoring all decency.

there are no stereotypes, he can fantasize. Personally, I wouldn't care about those who would send him to the three letters.
Morning

P.S. Do warlike gnomes who hate magic exist? As far as I remember, neither their height nor their physique allows them to lift heavy objects.
of course. Gnomes are not only those small, fat little men as in children's cartoons))
