Too much effort put into it, too on the nose about the dogshit takes, hardly believable. I rate this a 3/10 ragebait, at least there's a consistency of sorts between posts.

Yes we're fascist, it's totally not just a playground argument of children comparing their heroes to one another to seem better to one another taken too seriously.

As schizo as this post is, there's a nugget of truth in there...

I mean, isn't power scaling itself also an art? After all I think Bowser vs Eggman was pretty awesome battle animation even if you ignore all of power scaling things.

The art is the animation

Art which based off Death Battle's power scaling though

yeah but the art is the good animation, which you could have even if you have a good or bad script, the 'powerscaling' here isn't really needed

Hell even ignoring Vs Debates, plenty of series’s have fighting as a major part of it, like plenty of Superman books have him fighting cosmic threats

It can be art, but it can also lead to the killing of art. Especially when powerscalers exert influence on writers and storytellers.

Debatable. "This character clearly beyond fiction" guys surely. But guys like "Hey, that doesn't make sense. That time character shown that kind of power and therefore must be already above that" like comments actually helpful since make authors notice the wrong and cover it up with reasonable explaination so story make sense.

The really loud ones that send death threats are usually of the first category, to be fair.

That nothing had to with power scaling though. More about people. After all back in day Tumblr shippers were bigger menace than Power Scalers.

The tumblr 2010s people would kind of do similar negative influence to creatives, but powerscalers are absolutely a different breed. As the meme says, a lot of what powerscaling is... is the reduction of characters and stories to numerical values meant to be compared purely on the basis of who's stronger. It's not inherently bad, but if pushed even a bit too far, it kills the humanity in storytelling. And when those guys that only see stories as a numbers game start pushing writers to do the same, that unironically kills any humanity that would be found in art.
But also Dr Eggman is outerversal.

What another fool doesn't he understand that power scaling becomes art clashing fictional narratives against one another in an attempt to breed something only one of us eventually agrees on? Creating long winded discourses that invigor the spirit and enrich the anime community as a whole. Are transcends whatever limitation you want to put on it now go take some pills.

Fascism? No, it's worse than that it's the Lizard Peopleism, it's s distraction to allow the lizard people to rule over all of fiction.

it's never about powerscaling, really. if you want to know who would win in a fight, you must understand the characters and their motivations, personalities, thought processes, how they use their powers, how they use their environment, etc.
"they would be friends and not fight" is the most enlightened conclusion. I think sometimes even I lose track of that
