:uhh: Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's a really stupid question. If you can't see why being mentally raped would create problems for a person I really can't help you. The notion that it would somehow be less of a problem for Asuka since she's already fucked up is . . . ...

That's absurd. Having an alien entity invade your mind certainly constitutes a new problem, even if it also exacerbates existing problems. The same is true of dismemberment. What problem exactly? What new burden did it create for Asuka? None! All it did was force her to confront her already exi...

*Snip* reaction to psychological trauma But none of these trauma's inflict new problems on the people receiving them, they just add to/exacerbate existing problems. Maybe if Asuka was a well adjusted person before the mindrape, you'd have a point, but she wasn't. And the mindrape didn&#...

I'm pretty sure any logical discussion on whether or not Pen-Pen could survive in Tokyo became pointless when the first Eva showed up.

Oh, cut it out. We haven't been talking about that for awhile now. Yes, how dare a topic, be about the topic! Yes, but then she got mentally violated and dismembered. That's kinda important, particularly when coupled with the many betrayals that lead to each. I am utterly baffled as to why ...

It's called "translation convention". It's not the most strictly logical thing in the world, but hey, tell that to Schindler's List . Yeah but there is still the problem of figuring out how to do the language barrier. Either you have characters start speaking in the language t...

My Great Aunt's skin cancer surgery to remove the tumor growing on the back of her neck went well and she was able to leave the hospital the same day. RML. It isn't worth it. Trust me. The SAD alone is bad enough, the mold is worse, and it never gets cold enough to kill the insects, so natur...

Right, but you're assuming he's in a relationship there, and my point is that I'm not convinced he'll ever get to that point. We're discussing couples. I'm sorry I assumed they're in a relationship. I'm reasonably certain the Descent Arc and EoE will result in Asuka ...

I'm not convinced it would show up at all. It often doesn't in avoidant types, and the same often holds with victims of violence. Since Shinji's both and Asuka's an extreme example of the one (with some avoidant/borderline issues of her own), well . . . That's true outsi...

And pretending English is Japanese isn't? Dub logic makes my head hurt, it doesn't need a third language pretending to be something it's not.

That's by no means a given. Plenty of people who go through less than they have never wind up having sexual lives at all. Hell, Shinji's the sort who'd probably freeze up if a girl so much as kissed him (oh wait, that's exactly what happened), and Asuka's a lot more prud...

Why should we use Spanish? Why not simply turn all Engrish into butchered Japanese? Why bother adding a new language to the mix when we can have dub logic simply be that Japanese = English, English = Japanese. It's simple.

Given their intimacy issues in general and the violations they suffered from the final Angels and 3I that's pretty darn unlikely. Except that their intimacy issues and all that is primarily why they'd be screwing like bunnies. Those issues also lead to people, particularly young people, bei...

Those are still horrible.

Shinji and Asuka would be screwing like rabbits a lot sooner than their twenties.

I just found out 4chan got its politics board back, a great source of amusement and hilarity has returned to my life.
