I mean, if we’re being honest, just how good is the typical Rationalist at distinguishing between owl sexes, much less owl genders?
This outcome was, sadly, inevitable.
[soon your askbox would be full of shitpost asks like Argumate’s and] you’d be tempted to make an ms paint collage for every single one.
This television show blog doesn’t have that kind of animation drawing budget.
But don’t worry. Most anons on this blog do not get a Full Custom™ MS Paint.JPG for their asks. It’s just the rate of images per ask that would reduce.

i’m not sure how many layers of metaphor anon-san is on right now. just whose circularity is the track a metaphor for? is argumate really the owl, or is he the train? what does it mean when the owl flies off and the train is derailed?
we allege that this deep piece of artistic commentary challenges the viewer to, uh, reconsider their views on the intersection of rail infrastructure as it empowers the proletariat and the environment of birds of prey, as symbols for wisdom and power in our society, or uh, something

I see you subscribe to the Argumate School of Unicode Emoticon Abolitionism.
I can’t say I disagree. May we all work together for a world in which emoticons have been replaced with additional ancient Chinese characters, possibly oracle bone script.

Wow that’s a tough one. At first I think that version of me would be completely unrecognisable, but then I’m not so sure. I already have very strong moral inclinations, even though I am aware they are not baked into the universe; perhaps if I believed that these moral principles were fundamentally real then there would be few observable differences in my behaviour, besides what I might say in discussions about moral realism!
To think otherwise is to fall into the Jack Chick fallacy, where an absence of the god of Abraham immediately gives one a license to kill, cheat, and steal.
That’s actually my estimate about what would be different in the Moral Owl Argumate AU, but the Argumate fanfic writers disagree with me.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
