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.
I have never liked blind defenders of copyright, but to distort the original source is, at the very least, bad manners.
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.
Do you see Eastern dragons in fantasy works? I don't. So don't bring this up.
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.
No. Just a little.
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?
If you are wrong, then why can you so easily talk about the limitedness of other people?
Understood and accepted? Trying with all your might to prove my limitedness and wrongness? Abstracting from the topic and moving on to the person?
"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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
