Posts from [ANOTHER FLAME WAR] Are dragons overpowered or not? Auto-translated

Revan, no way, figure it out yourself, I can't be bothered) but you often used a three-letter word, and that's an insult) :P

Well, if your neighbor decided that a minotaur sage is his opinion, and he wants to create such an image, I won't interfere, as long as he doesn't try too hard to prove that his image is the only correct one.

I love breaking stereotypes. That's why...

And in the East, by the way, a dragon is a quite peaceful, wise, and positive creature. This is also a tradition, a canon, a rule. And also about dragons.

Perhaps I was wrong/didn't look closely enough, but in your posts, I only saw the imposition of a one-sided opinion about the nature of dragons, when for several pages people have been trying to prove to you that dragons can be different.

Regarding the appearance, for example, of centaurs or minotaurs. If I'm not mistaken, the words themselves hint at the appearance of the creature they name.

But nevertheless, as was said above, I did not see that you took into consideration someone else's opinion.

Hmm. If I say that your opinion is limited, it doesn't mean that I am right.

You claim that dragons are ONLY stupid killers, and you dismiss "rare exceptions to the rule" as unnecessary. Yes, I understand, this is your opinion, your attitude, but you still need to be at least a little more objective. We all already understand and accept your opinion, but you still don't care about others.

The discussion itself is quite entertaining and interesting, I just would like to conduct it in a more friendly and positive tone. After several attempts to bring the conversation to a semi-fluffy-friendly manner, I ran into a wall of seriousness, closed-mindedness, and a certain categoricalness. Naturally, I couldn't like that. Hence all the attacks. Less sharpness (yes, on both sides) - and the conflict will be resolved.

Regarding the voting.

I repeat once again, it depends ONLY on the author's imagination. Whatever he wants, that's how it will be.

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.

However, this image will only be alive in his altered consciousness. For everyone else, the creature will remain a mythological half-bull, living in a labyrinth and tearing apart, then devouring young people. And if someone creates a thread on a themed forum called "minotaurs — OP or not?", and a neighbor writes there his views about a smiling, flower-sniffing minotaur in a robe, he will either be ignored or told to go the infamous three-letter route. Because an opinion is an opinion, but basic sanity has never been considered a negative trait.

I have never liked blind crusaders for authorship rights and copyright, but distorting the original source is, at the very least, bad manners.

Do you see Eastern dragons in fantasy works? I don't. So there's no need to bring this up.

Not imposing. As far as I remember, it was after my statement that everyone suddenly decided to convert me to their faith, convincing me of their correctness and the narrowness of my words. I am simply cooling this fervor with facts. Yes, mythological facts, but facts nonetheless.

No. Only very slightly.

Haven't seen... Haven't you noticed my analogy? Haven't you read my posts before? There was mention of intelligent dragons there. More than once. Or is it enough for you to reply to a message to forget it while answering the next one?

If I am wrong, why are you so quick to discuss the narrow-mindedness of other people?

Understood and accepted? While trying your utmost to prove my narrow-mindedness and wrongness? Abstracting from the topic and making it personal?

"I'm a moderator and I'll ban you," "oh come on, she was joking" — it doesn't exactly encourage a "semi-flooding manner," whatever that means. Regarding friendliness — I don't know why you feel slighted. Perhaps friendliness consists of putting lots of smileys, but sorry — I don't do that. However, perhaps it will make you feel better if I say that I am conducting the conversation completely dispassionately? Without feeling any animosity? Especially after an apology.

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

Yes, and then fantasy fans will tell him where to go for making elves three cubits tall and settling orcs in trees. If the book/movie/game/tabletop setting is even released.
Oh well... At least he got to fantasize. Spitting on all conventions.

P.S. Do magic-hating, warlike dwarves exist? As far as I remember, neither height nor build allows them to lift heavy loads.

Morning
someone creates a thread on a themed forum called "minotaurs — OP or not?"

but I like druids, and I like them...

image? what is it?

Revan is busy. Shhh.
