Hey there! Having fun?

[up][up][up]...

...

...Why is everyone so damn suicidal in their outlook nowadays? I just don't get it.

Accepting the inevitable isn't the same thing as being suicidal.

I mean, I don't want to die, and it's scary to think about, but it's going to happen so you might as well make peace with that fact sooner than later.

Suicidal?

Honey, everything ends one day, face it. That doesn't mean you need to rage against it. This planet will end, this universe will end, but I don't mind it at all. It's all a part of life. Everything has to go one day.

Death is not evil. Hades is not the villain.

[up][up] Hades was never a villain in the Greek myths, but he's technically not the God of Death, he's the God of the Dead. Thanatos is the God of Death.

[up] How about we change topics then if it's gonna end with everyone getting pissed off at each other?

[up][up]Didn't you bring it up? Either way, it doesn't seem like anyone has said anything out of line.

So that Dragon Ball, it's super sexist right? Or something else.

[up]I keep tangling myself up like that, don't I.

I feel like accepting death is suicide and telling other people to accept death is murder. That skews my perception on a lot of things.

EDIT: Whenever someone says "Super S___", my mind can't help but immediately go something like "The Legendary Super Sexist" in this case.

It's like worrying that a meteor can hit Earth at any time. It's irrational and pointless because you, in particular (probably), can't actually do anything to help. There's no point worrying about death because there's nothing anyone can do to prevent it. The only thing you can do is try to stave it off as long as you can and wonder how it'll happen.

Christ, you're starting to sound just like me when I end up arguing with my friends. I usually start it and tangle myself up in it.

And let me tell you what suicide is: taking fate into your own hands and selfishly casting away your own life at the cost of those who love you. Accepting death isn't suicide, it's a wake up call. We have a finite amount of days, so what are you going to do about it? I can't speak for what you'll do, but I'm sure as hell gonna make the most of it.

I need death to live.

Everything I eat is dead. My clothes are dead or artificial.

My hair and nails and skin are dead.

We're all the matter of dead stars, and our bodies will become the dirt we grow our plants in. That's why I await death. My body will become one with the Earth I lived on once.

Entropy.

The way this conversation has constantly gone downhill and broken down is a perfect example. Probably.

It started because I brought up that it bugs me how Beerus is portrayed as being necessary instead of another villain that should be killed.

Oh.

Well that I can see someone having a problem with. The Balance Between Good and Evil tropes does often get used to promote a status quo going on when ending it is more beneficial.

You know, I was gonna re-rail this myself, but seriously, what are we gonna talk about?

The pointless sexism? The blatant excuses to keep certain characters out of the plot (Digimon Adventure Tri did it better, by outright beating the shit out of the characters it didn't need to be frank. At least that's a legitimate reason)? Beerus being a dickwad (the only reason he doesn't take out everyone who he thinks has insulted him is because of some vague balance bullshit, and Whis being strong, and Whis seems pretty casual about stopping Beerus from destroying shit he's not supposed to destroy if you ask me).

I'd rather see a discussion about the inevitability of death and how we must all accept it.....which they don't even fucking do in Dragon Ball anyway!

Death in Dragon Ball is inevitable too. Once you die of natural causes it's done.
