But it’s not unethical to eat meat in itself, it’s because of the needing to kill an animal. The taste/shape/flavor of meat isn’t the unethical part right?
That’d be like saying it’s unethical to take free gifts because stealing is wrong.
I don’t think this is even an unpopular opinion anymore. Well, at least as long as you’re not asking scrum masters.
Well, definitely fits the prompt. Can I ask a follow up question? Why do you think it’s unethical to eat meat?
I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the concept in general. Factory farms are hell holes. But I’m having trouble connecting your two points. But to me, the ethical issues with eating meat come down to the suffering the animal endured. If it’s a meat substitute, or eventually lab grown meat, that suffering doesn’t exist. So the ethical issues don’t apply.
I don’t think those are good examples of flanderization. Looking at JDs example, he was always that way, but was less confident in himself to show that side. A core character growth point for him is embracing his lack of masculinity while his father figure continually lambasts him for it. As he becomes more comfortable in his new job as a doctor, it would make sense he would be more comfortable being himself.
Flanderization is when a character becomes fully defined by what was initially just a quirk or feature of the character. I don’t think you can summarize JDs character as ‘feminine dude’ . JD continues to be complex and grow throughout the series. It’s not perfectly linear growth, but it shouldn’t be.
I think a big reason it shouldn’t be considered flanderization is he gets serious when it’s necessary, he does still struggle with his masculinity some, and he grows as a character in other ways. Hell, he ends up as a strong and responsible leader while maintaining his lack of masculine traits.
Elliots example you copied is just weirdly self-countering and kinda sexist. Elliots growth was heavily centered around self confidence and self acceptance. She started out as a shallow, rich kid, know it all who couldn’t take the pressure and couldn’t handle when she wasn’t good at something. I don’t think any of those traits ended up flanderized.
There are plenty of shows that flanderize characters to a pretty extreme level. I find it weird that you would call out scrubs of all shows for flanderization.
The whole “we don’t know how they work” thing is a bit overblown. We have all the formulas, we know exactly how the math and code works. You can go and look at the weights for every node, you’re just not going to derive any meaning or necessarily explain why one number works better than another.
Skimmed some of the studies as well. A few of the studies reported an estmated incidence rate of 4 per 1 million. And that’s just incidence rate. Meanwhile the mortality rate of covid that year was 1850 per million cases. Some of the names themselves are dead giveaways.
One of the other mentioned 7 kids who had complications from the vaccine. In the conclusion, it basically says “we gave them advil and they were good.”
It’s just more fear mongering and gish gallop.
