That ship has sailed long ago. There has already been extensive discussion over the last few pages about the approach I gave, and I've already explained why Kodaka is not the best person for us to...

No, what I was referring to was that Yozora probably felt guilty because she now knew that Sena viewed her as an important person. It is not a normative statement about what Yozora should do or feel,...

I wasn't referring to Yozora considering Sena as a friend, I was referring to the reverse - that Sena considered Yozora as someone important to her, and was hurt by Yozora's actions. Yozora, not...

It would be expected that Sena took the fortune reading seriously. If she seriously believed that the hair prank made her look good, then the reasonable inference is that she would have believed in...

Alternatively, maybe Yozora is starting to change, even if it's just a little bit. It could mean that she recognises that she had gone too far in her prank, and sees that her actions have more impact...

Ok, so how would you explain their interaction in the latest episode, when Sena was clearly hurt that the person she trusted as a friend ended up betraying her? As well as the close up of Yozora's...

Now we're getting somewhere! You're finally getting it!

Yes, such a character does not exist. As I said, such a character is merely a theoretical construct and forms a base for us to debate. Yes,...

Now, I'm not talking about actually creating a character here. I'm talking about projecting our views from the theoretical construct of such a character so that we can have rigorous debate while...

No, it is not the same as an outsider's view. The concept I'm trying to get at is a reasonable view of a flexible hypothetical someone in-universe, who knows these characters sufficiently well. The...

I'm trying to push for a more objective standard that everyone can identify with, so that we can all be on the same page. Just look at the discussion in this thread over the issue of whether or not...

Kodaka isn't necessarily the best person to use as a gauge in determing whether or not Yozora's actions constitute bullying. It would probably be better to look at it from the perspective of an...

I think we may need a clearer demarkation of what is considered right and wrong in the context of the show since the arguments about the characters' actions seem to be occurring on very different...

Certain events in the episode have to taken with a grain of salt considering the context of the show as a comedy, and to some extent a romantic comedy. If we look at other shows such as ZnT, for...

I actually think that Yozora does enjoy the torment of the prank victim to some extent. She does have her limits of course, as seen from her reaction at Sena's hurt response to the fortune telling...

Fair point as well, although I personally don't like the idea of overcompensating on one side just to make up for the other. I prefer taking a more independent approach (or as independent as...

Lol, that wasn't my point at all. My point was that we're not observing these guys in a vacuum where just because all of them are flawed that means everything should be ignored. There is a reason why...

Well from reading this thread, it seems to me that Sena is the one being blamed for being gullible, with few acknowledging that Yozora's prank was mean-spirited.

Well if we're going to say that not being mean is inapplicable to the kids in the Neighbours' Club, then nothing can be said of any of them because the things we perceive to be flaws don't apply.

Lol, is there really a need to answer this question? A should not follow through with the prank because of the possible harm to B. In this case, the harm would be the hurt feelings on Sena's part,...

I never said that B (or Sena in this case) should be absolved. My post explicitly stated that Sena's gullibility was one of her weak points. My point is that A, knowing B's gullibility, should not...

Her known weakness is her gullibility, and this is shown from the hair prank incident. The most that should have been done is to play a trick on her, but not actually following through with it....

I would argue that the fact that Yozora is aware that Sena is gullible actually makes the pranking worse. It's not the same as one of those candid camera pranks where nobody knows beforehand whether...
