Heh, I knew someone was going to make this
potential stance, and the reason why it's not strong is because it talks about
extreme cases. Here's why.
As I stated earlier, innocent comparisons of the Japanese Hana Kimi show to other media can provide a healthy and interesting discussion. In the same vein, postings of magazine clips, merchandise, and side-media related to the Japanese Hana Kimi show does the same effect.
The argument people bring up though involve
extreme cases, i.e., the idea of when comparisons, left unregulated, can
potentially turn into tense arguments which can incite a flamewar. But there is an extreme case with postings of clips, merchandise, and side-media as well (same goes with soft subs). That extreme case is when pages are
potentially flooded simply on such items (which has happened a few times). The soft subs already took up two pages before I made a post.
In other words, to not permit one form of discussion because of the
potential of an
extreme case is not a justified reason. My argument still stands, and also demonstrates why the mods/admins aren't hypocritical at all on this. And I'm making a deal about this because I've seen some nasty stuff some people have said earlier in this thread to people who made such comparisons. That's just not right.
What a fun discussion.
