There was no need to check the guy's hue because they were going to arrest him regardless. There was a report of a dangerous hue in the area and that guy was it. Why waste time checking for something you already know?

From what we have seen so far IMO the hue level detector is merely giving a quantification of the level of psychosis human beings have at the moment, so thinking a mentally unstable person can sniff* another is a fallacy. *as in, identifying them just by looking at them without having any kind of verbal interaction. |

How do we know that it wasn't a case of the doctor trying to seduce the enforcer, who then rejected her advances? As I said, context changes everything, and I'm sure we've all been caught in situations that made us look horribly wrong when the reality was the complete opposite. * I'd add that such reaction is juvenile at best, and highly disrespectful at worst to homosexual individuals. For homosexual behaviour to be reduced to "oooh, kinky sex, hubba hubba hubba" is hardly "progressive" in my book. Quote:

Personally I hope there will be Yaoi and Yuri and I can just sit back and laugh at all the hypocritical reactions.

This and Kamisama are probaly the only shows this season in which it feels like five minutes before the show ends. Which is good...
I'm glad to see that the MC(forgot his name) wasn't mad at all with Akane. I thought for sure it was going to go the route of 'Everyone haet Akane for messing up' though I don't know what Akira Ishida's problem was... And why is everyone making a big deal about the hoyay? Bad enough the K thread was all like this.... |

It's easier for the fanboys to jump to conclusion that they had lesbian sex after seeing one girl fixing her tie and the other pulling up her pantyhose but they can't make a connection that maybe two guys kissing in the mouth may be romantically inclined (like in No. 6. *smirk*) Omoshiroi....

Indeed. You'll never find me claiming anime to be particularly progressive when it comes to issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. Sure, a handful of niche titles do explore such topics intelligently, but the vast majority of anime is chauvinistic or, worse, misogynist. And it reflects on Japanese society as a whole, to be sure. |

Mhh, so I am at fault for making deductions of this show even if ATM they cannot be proved wrong? What I see is that you dislike my conclusions, feel free to tell where is the fallacy on any part of my posts, that is what keeps this thread interesting, shooting down deductions just because they are different from yours is not fun.

For example: Quote:
I would add that it's debatable whether putting people into such pigeonholes based on aptitude tests is "condemnable". If it were such a bad thing, why aren't we kicking up more of a fuss over such practices in real life? Yes, it's already a reality. That's what academic rankings and annual job performance appraisals are for. In sport like baseball, for example, where reliance on Sabermetrics is a norm, a player's position and value is largely determined by what numbers he generates over time. Is it fair to pigeonhole a player that way? Whatever happened to playing for the fun of the game, and what happened to building people holistically through sport? The Sibyl System only makes such practices more widespread and upfront. I could argue it dispels the happy illusion of freedom we cloak ourselves with today, and forces us to confront reality as it is. Example #2: Quote:
As the facts stand, the enforcer didn't hit the suspect first. As shown in the episode, he approached the man and asked politely to check his crime coefficient. The man panicked, and used physical force to push aside the enforcer in an attempt to escape. In such a situation, the enforcer is well within his rights to react physically to apprehend the man. The scan that followed proved his suspicion, that the man did indeed have a high stress reading and therefore needs to be apprehended by law. I could go on. You can make deductions and are free to speculate. But when we are not sure, when we don't have definitive proof, we can't go around making statements that assume we do. That's my beef with your assertions. It's very important how we use language, that we don't say more or less than what we mean. Given the possible influences that novels like 1984 may have had on a show like this, it's apt perhaps to remind people of the evils of Newspeak, and of the problems that arise when language is abused and turned into propaganda for one's pet topics. |
