Poll to bring attention on dialect

[Depressinho]

Let me attempt to decrypt this text into intelligible English to see if it makes any sense:

It is increasingly common among game developers to promote an agenda by exploiting scientific terminology instead of using neutral everyday lanugage. In this poll, you can vote against the use of such loaded terminology from theories developed by crazy scientists (such as the evolution of men and apes from common ancestors). Besides, this game is obviously set in a historical context, where dragons, khajiit and other fantasy creatures are manifestly absent. The aim of this poll is to present an ultimatum to the developers: "either you acquiesce to our demands or we will have no other choice but to club you to your death".

Nope, still doesn't make sense. Also, is this a threat?

could be anything really...

I legit have no idea what this post is even about, and what kind of poll is that ?!

 

[mehmeteking]

I read all the posts to understand what is going on. Still no idea. What IS this poll?

 

[Depressinho]

Non english speaking, high as a kite man tries to argue against science and the theory of evolution on a gaming forum.

Ok Mr. President that's enough Executive Time for you, back to work.

That was almost accurate, the last part he says he wants npcs to speak simple phrases and refer to objects in general by simplistic descriptions, like "give me your money or I will kill you" instead of "Surrender your belongings or we will cause bodily harm that will almost certainly end in loss of life" or to refer to things in a simple manner, like calling a club, well, a club, instead of saying a "a long piece of wood with a rounded end suitable for causing blunt damage" or something along those lines, which, by the way, is nowhere to be found on actual game texts.

As far as I can tell, this is a continuation of the other post that got locked because he wanted TaleWorlds to not use the term "evolve" because for him, it relates to the theory of evolution and it is offensive because he believes science is unproven nonsense and that some imaginary being usually referred to as "god" by people actually created everything.

I have literally no idea what the heck those polling alternatives mean. Google translate did a poor job.

 

[Havada]

Shouldn't you be off somewhere giving people riddles so that they can cross your bridge?

LOL xD

 

[Egard]

Created an account just so I could take this poll. Great laugh, good job.

 

[Swadianborn]

So basically, he threatens developers to accept his demands or he will club them to death. Did I get it right?

Предлагаю вам зайти на российские форумы. Мы не понимаем ваш английский.

 

[Ciderglove]

After his ridiculous Evolution/Development post and now this, GreenLight7 needs to be banned.

reported for making yet another unrelated topic in the forum, please stop this madness so we can discuss the game and not ideologies,theories or faiths (which are basicly the same things, a faith is not proven thus also a theory)

A theory isn't as you professed not proven, on the contrary a scientific theory becomes a theory when it is proven. It just might be confusing since that is not how we use the word in common parlor, but that what it means in sicences, what you refer to is a hypothesis. But that is besides the point here, still felt the need to correct you on that one.

I want to say, that sure, theories aren't bulletproof they can be proven false or incomplete later on, because we obtained better methods with time or someone just made a discovery that we weren't aware of before, but then new hypothesis will be created, tested and eventually a new proven theory arises from the ashes. And the scientific method certainly is more reliable in doing so, than any other method we yet worked out.

 

[High chief Kieran]

definition of a theory according to the dictionary: a formal statement of the rules on which a subject of study is based or of ideas that are suggested to explain a fact or event or, more generally, an opinion or explanation
as such religion can be classified as a theory.
i know that in science the word theory has a slightly different meaning but in the common language it is still accepted as a theory, outside the world of science a lot of theories have no proof to back it up. (cookies keep dissapearing from the cookie jar, it is my theory that my son took them, it is the only thing that makes sense to me even if i have no proof for it).

but to get back on topic, i think mostpeople agree this topic should be closed.

[Sweet Lemon God]

By far the best post on this forum, the post, the poll, the comments? What more could you want? Comedy genius. 5 stars

 

[Sweet Lemon God]

I'd also like to bring attention to the fact that I was allowed the freedom to vote for 2 of these illegible (But I'm sure perfectly sane) suggestions in the poll. 10/10

 

[Count Delinard]

No.
