I'm setting this guy to ignore.
He's just talking past both of us. Cherry-picking our posts to only a select few counterpoints and ignoring the rest of what we say that he has no answer to, while continuing the assertions those parts rebutted. He even pulled that "You made one mistake (that may or may not be a mistake), therefore your entire post is invalid" on me earlier just so he wouldn't have to address the rest of my post to him.
And about the copy of the game from this site. This site isn't always good about keeping up with official updates. And the version here still suffers from bugs the official sites already fixed. He says his copy of the game came from this site, so we know he's not using the up-to-date version either. And he's the one that brought up mistranslation in the first place, but now that its being brought against him, he thinks translation issues are no longer a factor for consideration in open-interpretation of the canon?
Heck, a lot of the shit he's saying and questioning is perfectly addressed in the earlier discussion posts between me, Beyo, and a few others I linked earlier. I don't think he's even reading what we post.
That moment where he ignored everything in my first post just to latch onto the part about Shub-Niggurath and tell me I said Yuki is a god. And that that's somehow undeniably canon to the script. Which has zero basis in-game or in my own post.
And I'm not the game's writer. Why the fuck would I have the ability to change the canon? But then nothing else I said in the same post is canon in his interpretation despite what I say apparently being canon in his mind? Only these two specific sentences have magical canon-changing power? When those sentences are not even part of the original post? What? Did he skim and his brain fused the two sentences together? Is he confused and thinks The Decay and The Twins are one-in-the same? He read the part comparing Shub-Niggurath and The Decay, but ignored the part about comparing the twins in Dunwich Horror with the twins in this game? What???
That moment and the mistranslation issues he brought up himself somehow not applying to his interpretations are big red flags to me that he's only reading the parts of our posts he wants to read. Like how he probably only read the parts of the game he wanted to read. It's just mental gymnastics at this point.
People like this are never interested in actual discussion. Only in winning some kind of imaginary argument. He has "All interpretations are valid, but only mine are right." and "Death-of-the-Author is a fact, not a theory." mentality.
He's a brickwall. This isn't worth it. Ignored.
