>telepath tries to read bad guy's mind>sees bad guy doing murder>screams and passes out
>>155407479/co/ loves that though because they have this weird hateboner for telepathy. No other power by itself makes anons here seethe that much for some reason. I guess for conservatives a lot of their lifestyle is about building a tough guy image and never being allowed to show vulnerability, so their mind is the only place they can find refuge in and the idea of someone taking even that away and seeing their insecurities they work so hard to hide makes them livid with anger.
>>155407479The problem is that this didn't happen at all in the new Spider-Man
>>155407974> I guess for conservatives>/co/umblre>conservative
>>155407974>only conservatives would be mad about someone taking away their autonomydamn leftists are even more insane than I thought
>>155408013You probably think Obsession is Oscar worthy
>>155408041never watched it
>Telepath reads good guy's mind>Sees that the human soul can be beautiful and wonderous even if it isn't perfect>Falls in love with him
>>155408013Why aren't you mad about someone using superpowers to beat the shit out of you then? For literally any other superpower, /co/ engages with the power fantasy as intended. But only for telepathy they have this specific contrived scenario where someone uses it against you.If /co/ can accept that Punisher is a respectable and responsible individual who never leaves any innocent casualties behind, why is it so hard to accept that a hypothetical telepath would not be gunning to find out all your personal secrets (as if they were even that valuable to anyone)?
>>155408041Obsession would be better if it was a hentai
>>155407479>telepath tries to read bad guy's mind>sees nothing because the bad guy acts without thinking
>>155408140>Telepath reads villains mind>Cant understand it because she doesn't speak french
>>155407974>No other power by itself makes anons here seethe that much for some reason.Over time, people realized that the reason rape is bad is because it takes away people's autonomy, and that's a very big sin in the modern era, people then began to realize that telepathy is taking away a person's agency, and so that power eventually became seen as pretty evil. Anyways, most telepaths are jerks. They can't take no for an answer and don't respect other people's privacy, so obviously people grow to hate them. It's the same reason love potions end up just being compared to real-life deep rape drugs.
>>155407479>Telepath tries to read bad guy's mind>Their brain melts, not cause the bad guy is TWISTED tm>But because they just constantly sing shitty cartoon songs in their head
>>155407479Mind reading doesn't make sense.
>>155408082>why is it so hard to accept that a hypothetical telepath would not be gunning to find out all your personal secretsBecause there is exactly one telepath in all of comics who does have respect for privacy and personal autonomy and its fucking martian manhunterliterally every other telepath shown has flagrant disregard for those things because hack writers like cheap drama so between that fact and the fact that normalfags can be cunts by and large there is no reason to engage with the "good telepath" hypothetical
>telepath tried to read bad guy's mind>It's all backwards because they're dyslexic.
>telepath tries to read villain's mind>just a rotating cow>now they can't stop rotating a cow in their minds and go mad
>>155407479>telepath reads a bad guys mind>he's thinking about frogs>telepath is thinking about frogs now too>blurts out "frogs are cool">bad guy stops fighting and agrees>they go to the pond to look at frogs togetherCrisis averted.
>>155408307Telepathy is mind reading, not mind control.
>>155410237Isn't a major part of Xavier that he doesn't go out of his way to brainwash normal people into loving mutants when he could have?
>>155407974>Actually it's a good think to violently invade someone else at their absolute most vulnerable state to make them feel powerless and at someone else's mercy and by the way I would absolutely never ever ever rape anyone
>ENTER
>>155407479>Bad guy is too CUH-razy for the telepath to handle and has a breakdown
>>155408307>>155413009But /co/ makes a hundred rape jokes per day, why is telepathy where they draw the line?
>>155407479>>155413038>>155413056>reads Joker's mind>"AIEEEE, HIS WIFE DIED AND HE WAS A FAILING COMEDIAN, SAVE ME BATMAN"This shit is so ass.
I liked when a telepath villain once tried to get inside Moon Knight's head and instead of the "he's so crazy it fucked him up" thing it was "there's Khonshu in there you fucking idiot" and Khonshu just grabbed and locked up his consciousness

>>155410752We can call that Mad Cow Disease
>>155407479>telepath reads bad guy's mind>laughs because the bad guy was thinking of a funny joke
>>155412241>>155412241Even if you wanna make that distinction and ignore that many if not most popular telepaths can do both. Rooting around in someone private thoughts and memory without consent, how is that not borderline rape? What would you call it?
>>155415990Murderers (ie. supervillains) don't deserve to keep their secrets, do they?
>>155407974>political seething out of nowhere Get help.
>>155416063Even if only ever used on supervillians (this is not the case) and is somehow only limited in scope to specific and relevant information e.g. location of a ticking time bomb (again, not the case), it is, in fact, a violation of them. Whether or not it's a justified one is up for debate.Most people are not in favor of the government having incredibly invasive methods of survelliance, I don't expect they'd accept the "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" argument when it comes to literally rooting around in your brain instead of using CCTV or communication/search history.
>>155416412>Even if only ever used on supervillians (this is not the case)Then this is the problem that needs to be addressed, not outright banning telepathy. Especially in a setting where telepathy exists and is exercised? You can't regulate it to the point of banning it completely like some kind of Prohibition shit. You control it and make sure it's used for good.>and is somehow only limited in scope to specific and relevant information e.g. location of a ticking time bombIrrelevant rights for a murderer/terrorist to be holding while they're in the active act of crime
>>155407974>comes up with insane fanfic explaining the minds and reactions of a nebulous group of people in detailYup, I'm thinking someone really wants to be a telepath.
>>155416491I didn't say shit about banning telepathy, I'm saying you're a dipshit for acting like people should have no problem with it.Also, people do not forfeit all their rights when suspected of a crime or even caught in the act of one. You support torture to get information or no?
>>155416595Mindreading isn't torture. And you're the guy saying innocents would be questioned for the location of a bomb. Why would a super team of telepaths be wasting their time on anything but the confirmed target?
>>155407974>leftshit thinks people shouldn't have a right to privacy even when it comes to their thoughtsChecks out.
>>155416614>And you're the guy saying innocents would be questioned for the location of a bomb. Why would a super team of telepaths be wasting their time on anything but the confirmed target?Thanks for telling me you're a bad-faith troll
>>155416679If that's what you get out of it, you're a pretty bad telepath.
>>155407479>telepath reads schizo villain's mind>all the voices jump ship from the villain's head and go into the telepath'sOOPS
>>155416614>Mindreading isn't tortureit is a violation of their rights to get information. is it justified in the scenario or not?>Why would a super team of telepaths be wasting their time on anything but the confirmed target?i dunno, why would the goverment ever go after anyone who isn't guilty? if you get targeted by them, you must have done it
>>155416693I can't read your mind. But you couldn't even read the actual words I wrote.
>>155416740>it is a violation of their rights to get information. is it justified in the scenario or not?I already said it's justified if they're a supervillain with a history of supervillainry. You compared it to torture, when mindreading would reduce torture as a practice to something archaic and barbaric.>i dunno, why would the goverment ever go after anyone who isn't guilty? if you get targeted by them, you must have done itJust have the telepaths read the government agent's mind when they're handing out the assignment to know whether it's in good faith or not. Cross-check with the Justice League or whatever that this is necessary action. Then go from there.
>>155416772You can't even form a consistent argument and instead subtly goal-shift about innocents and rights when I already established villains get none.
>>155416809>I already established villains get none.Glad you're in charge, telepathic rapist.>>155416783Who mind-reads the mind-readers?Also, why do you think torture is "barbaric"? For most people, it would be because it's a violation of their human rights and/or personhood, not because it causes physical harm. Many forms of torture in fact don't inflict physical harm.I can't believe you're the one accusing others of moving the goalposts.
>>155416966>Also, why do you think torture is "barbaric"?>Many forms of torture in fact don't inflict physical harm.Man, it's like I'm arguing with a retard.
>>155417012We can't read your mind, you'll have to explain your reasoning.
>>155407974>see you act like a homophobe but you are really a faggot, I know that because I literally entered your mental temple>i am a good guy, btwWhat kind of logic is that?
>>155417689you guys act like your homosexual thoughts are wholly unique and individual to yourself and wouldn't just be dismissed as boring chaff to some mindreading superhuman
>>155407479>>155408140>reads mind>"agh, too... many... voices"
>>155407974Let's see if your tune changes after a telepath shows everyone you know all your most embarrassing private moments and intrusive thoughts. >BUT I WOULDN'T CAREYes. Yes you absolutely would.
>>155417912Why would a telepath do some petty small time shit like that? Your argument is as dumb as if decrying Superman for having the ability to show up at your door and just waste you and get away with it. It's moot because he would never abuse his power like that.
>>155417970>Why would a telepath do some petty small time shit like that?Because it amuses them or they get off on it? Because they aim to destroy your reputation, maybe because you made fun of their retarded views on a siancong box-of-scraps forum? Forget villains, not even most heros have the moral fiber and restraint of Superman. They're just people. We build our systems around reducing potential abuses, because people are constantly abusing their power and authority, yes in tiny petty shitty ways like stalking an ex with the survelliance apparatus they are afforded access to.
>>155417802heheh
