Whoever the LP Presidential candidate is, probably. I know they’ll lose, but I don’t care.

Isn’t this the girl who kept making Tumblr rants about how much she hated her fans? If so, I’m pretty sure she’s a massive hypocrite. Well, I won’t deny that she looks cute, but there are better women like her out there.

Yes, I believe in fairies. But they are not old men. They are single-colored orbs (usually pink, green or blue) that float up and down, and they live in mountains and hills lush with trees. They leave you alone if you leave them alone, but if you disturb them, they do not hesitate to kill you; they fly into your nostrils and mouth to stop you from breathing. The incident in this post was just a weirdo.

I’d say that it’s best described as anti-escapism. When characters in other shows get isekai’d, they end up becoming extremely OP and solve all of their problems instantly, but Re: Zero takes the exact opposite route.

Do You Believe in Colors?

I meant to say "colors cannot be defined without relying on other objects to define them", I edited the post.

Yes, physical phenomena give rise to our perceptions of colors, but this doesn't mean that colors can be defined along these lines; if that were the case, all species would be able to see the exact same colors (in other words, a wavelength doesn't actually have a color until a being interprets it as having one).

I do not understand why being able to define colours in terms of wavelengths would enable all animals to perceive the same colours.

If colors had a real existence defined by their wavelengths, then all animals would see the same colors when looking at the same wavelengths, but this is not true. If an animal looks at a tree, no matter what color it perceives it as, it is still looking at a tree. But when an animal looks at a tree, and the wavelengths give rise to colors, they do not all see the same colors even if they are seeing the same tree. To elaborate, all animals would be able to look at a tree and know that it has leaves, but not all animals would think that those leaves are green. This means that when we say "the leaves of a tree are green", we are simply describing our mental understanding of it; my argument is that colors are mental, and lack a real existence, but they are still grounded in reality (that is to say, the greenness of a thing is simply our perception of certain wavelengths of light possessed by objects, which means that colors are not intrinsic.)
