other japanese media has had a more credible depiction of a catholicism type church as antagonists, though

like in, what was it called.... Blue Exorcist

That made much more sense.

Blue exorcist isn't credible

It's modern

Japanese media is always leagues ahead of everything else

this is medieval evangelical Catholics

Wallachia is a 13th century nation

It's credible from the point of view of having a religious order that knows demonic threats exists, has the general obedience and loyalty of the masses, but can still be used as an antagonistic force.

ooga booga is a accurate description

Blue Exorcist is still a modern lens

@Miniature Menace do you think 13th century peasants are rational people?

I think most healthy people are rational, they just have finite data, and often very stupid priorities.

Also, they're lazy

Then you know nothing of the Medieval era

So not putting too much effort into things they deem neither enjoyable or essential to survival, tends to be one of those priorities

the medieval period is defined by ooga booga

I doubt the average person (in any time period) would go "hey, there's a place with dog-headed people"

Medeival folk weren't like, some kind of tards. They were superstitious, sure, but it often took a lot of circumstantial evidence to really get them worked up enough to use it as a justification to kill people.

you say that

Wallachia is 13th century Theocratic Romania

And even then, these periods where that happened were usually the exception, rather than the rule.

@Miniature Menace medieval peasants had no education aside from the church, they worked to live and not dying was a bonus, they had no need to be rational

Everyone needs to be rational to a point.

not really

look at leftists

Your modern views don't negate human nature

Even the choice to obey the church so you don't get labelled a heretic and excommunicated is an act of reason

No, that's an act of survival

Even leftists behave rationally based on their perception of reality, and their priorities.

People do irrational things to survive

@Miniature Menace

Some of the disparity is from people who get Pits because they want a tough strong dog. This shows up in the meme of the 100 lb Pittbull (breed standard is a maximum weight of 80 for males and 60 for females. No 100 lb dog is a Pitt by definition). This is further exacerbated by the lugenpress who know 'Pit Bull" sells more ad space so virtually any bull or terrier breed involved in an incident gets reported as a "Pit Bull Attack!"

Irrationality is doing something deliberately under the assumption that it will take you *further* from your chief desirable outcomes.

Did they ever state the date the show is set in? Because a lot of the technologies seem a bit later than that

Like, i would estimate late 14th/early 15th century from havibg watched it

But sure people who buy Pitts but do not bother to learn how to raise one properly are a large part of the problem.

@Miniature Menace that isn't the definition of irrational

I never played the games, though
