They're already engaging in an edit war. You removing "both" would only push it further, so I wouldn't do that.
Did you include a message within the notifier (aside from the already-attached one), maybe asking why Amoridere felt they should go with both? If you didn't, it might be worth discussing the matter with them over PM.
Edited by ilovewildkratts1 Wuewuewuewuewueing my way to the bank.Personally, as the entry is written, I don't see "more upset about" as an implication that both reasons apply. Usually it's an either/or thing and leaving it at that implies that people familiar with the work have a choice in the matter as to how they interpret the scene. If the entry read "more upset about either" then it would make more sense, at least IMO.
I'll PM Amoridere here to see if they want to discuss the matter in this query.
Edited by ilovewildkratts1 Wuewuewuewuewueing my way to the bank.Oh, hi. I s'ppose I could have given more of a better reason in the "Edit reasons".
See, bein' someone of that diagnosis, his reaction to the letter felt like a possible "Both" situation.
If you suggest to an autistic person note that they be cured, that's gonna piss 'em off, however, if you use someone as a case study sans askin' them, you're gonna piss 'em off.
Regardless, they'd be feeling very betrayed if someone they thought of as a friend did either of those things, so it's possible it might've been a combo of both.
Adding another layer to this, knowin' what we know about Max and his diagnosis, he's already used to getting mistreated, ostracized, etc, so insinuating that he be cured is going to really do it for him, however, on another note, with him being a private person, Mary using him as a case study in a book that's set to be released be a violation of his privacy.
Edited by Amoridere oyasumiIf you're unsure about whether it counts, you can take it to the Is This an Example
thread.
I can understand that. The more context there is for an entry, the better it is (so long as it's not to word-vomit levels). I'd say expand on it further if there weren't already an edit war going on and Amoridere wasn't trying to state their reasoning.
You can maybe try bumping your post in the ITAE thread and seeing if you can seek more consensus.
Wuewuewuewuewueing my way to the bank.

In the YMMV section for Mary and Max, one of the entries for Alternative Character Interpretation was:
At one point, Amoridere added "Both?" with the reason "It could have been both. He felt betrayed nevertheless."
I removed the "Both?" part as I felt, and quoting my edit reason: "the usage of "more upset about" implies both reasons anyway."
Amoridere added it back with the reason "I went with that it was both." as if they didn't read my edit reason at all.
I sent them a notifier (though I couldn't find the right reason off the list) and they haven't responded. Would it be alright for me to remove the "both" part again or do they have a point regardless?
