I'm assuming this is about the Headscratchers.Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba page, judging by your recent edit history? If so you should link the page in your post.

yes i am. and done. i'm thinking of cutting everything from the second part of the entry to the last part of the entry (as in i'll cut everything apart from the explanation at the bottom).

"But they existed. There's tons of proof of magic existing (seriously, there's tons of records like the Galdrabok. Go check 'em out for yourself)"

Sheesh. Derailing and basically claiming that if some old book says magic is real, that somehow proves it. Cut it like it's a cake.

That part was me. I'm just defending my beliefs and the belief of others. It was stated that the book was just one example of proof out of many others and you clearly missed or flat out dismissed "tons of records" out of ignorance.

But yeah, I'll cut it.

Evidence of belief is not evidence of events. I'd go further, but I'm concerned about derailing. Tanjiro's family have traditions that go back to the first breath style, but that doesn't mean that (without evidence) they would continue to remember all the details of demons/breathing. Mugen's "children" are rare enough that it's reasonable to assume that not everyone has met one, Tanjiro's town is isolated, and his family even moreso. The fact that the Slayers have gone to some effort to live in secret indicates that their existence is not well-known, and it would be a government/lord watched/run organization if they were.


Also, that's rife with violations of First-Person Writing, which is wrong.

"Evidence of belief is not evidence of events" is a very true and valid statement. Thank you for being reasonable (that's not sarcasm btw). You're a good mod.

Derailing is a tricky subject to avoid, but then again, talking about derailing would mean we're going off-topic. Because it's tricky, at least for me, maybe a guide would help me avoid derailment?

Now, back to the topic at hand. Crazy, maybe you would like to add that example to the headscratcher? It sounds like it could help give a definite answer to it.

Also, I removed the First-Person Writing including those of the other troper. Sorry for my errors.
