Just because multiple people claim the same thing doesn't make them right.
I did consider what they've said, and I'm starting to love the "It's the Scarlet Letter, something everyone has read, obviously" argument, a story in which women are physically marked instead of Jews.
Also, yes, it's naive to ignore the implications of what people say and read everything strictly based on what's on the page. If that's aggressive to say, then... sorry?
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoJust because you claim one thing doesn't make you right either. No, it's not naive to disagree with you, even if you inappropriately dress it up as "ignoring the implications." You just hit the big red button unjustifiably, and now you're trying to say "well you can't prove it was unjustifiable." I'm not supposed to. Your failing to justify it is sufficient.
- TobyTheDog123 5y agoYou can claim my justification is insufficient all you'd like. You can claim it's not naive to ignore any implications or subtext in what people say. Similarly, that doesn't make you right. Sorry.
