You have a good point.

Also since theories of human origin is from Africa and we all have DNA from there and we don't have pictures from prior to 1900 I demand that all games from before 1900 have only black people, since you can't prove everyone wasn't dark skinned =]

 

And also since Portuguese used slaves and there is one drawing of a dark skinned samurai, I think all samurai games Nioh and Tsushijima included need some black main player.

The protagonist of NiOh is a blonde Irishman whereas the historical figure he's based on was a brown haired Englishman from Kent. If they're willing to take liberties such as those, then they could do pretty much whatever they want to including making a black samurai.

Sure they can do whatever they want since they are the dev. (and there is story about a sole black samurai). That still doesn't mandate that they do it even more when they are trying to be historically precise and factual.

Reductio ad absurdum is not amplifying anything.  It is taking a position to its logical conclusion.  I'll go back to the Nintendo example.

If I say Nintendo games are always better than Sony games, then the means always.  In every case.  If I truly believed that, I would have to believe that every single Nintendo game is better than every single Sony game.  Saying that I think Animal Crossing Amiibo festival is better than Uncharted 4 is not exaggerating or changing my position.  It is something that would HAVE TO BE true if my original statement were. 

On the other hand, if I said most Nintendo games are better than Sony games, that's a different story.  Me believing that Animal Crossing Amiibo festival is better than Uncharted 4 DOES NOT follow from this.  I can believe that Nintendo games are mostly better without believing this.  If you claim that I do believe Amiibo festival is better than Uncharted 4, then you are altering my position, which would be dishonest.

In the case of this topic, me saying that I care more about the OP than Eurogamer's review does not mean that I care more about anti-sjw stuff than sjw stuff in general.  I can in fact care more about this post than the review without necessarily caring more about anti-sjw stuff in general.  

Furthermore, just because I didn't say anything to the contrary doesn't mean anything.  Let's suppose I inferred that you want to suck Stan Lee's penis.  You have not said anything that can contradict this inference.  That doesn't mean I am justified in assuming you would want to suck Stan Lee's penis.  You can't just infer something because someone hasn't said anything to contradict it.  For an inference to be valid, you must actually be able to support it.  (This btw is a valid reductio ad absurdum.)

You forgot you yourself cared about the anti-sjw and included the "dishonest" modificator. While only after several rebuttals included that you also don't like when SJW are dishonest on their argument, and justified yourself saying that it's because in VGC (which is where you care about) the SJW is almost unseen. So you can't really invalidate that how you portrayed before on the thread wouldn't lead to a interpretation I had.

Nope bringing something off-topic that wasn't discussed and saying that since that person didn't say anything about it then he supports or not it is completely different than being on topic on what the person posted and following that line.

Your Stan Lee comparison would be valid if I said something like "I like Stan Lee so much that I would want to kiss him, rub my naked body on him, have sex with him", and you infer that I would also want to suck his dick (because it is reasonable to infer that by doing sex, sucking the dick would be part of it, even thought it isn't totally assured).

So when you put all your arguments against OP, anti-SJW, etc and dismissed or accepted the behavior of the reviewer and/or historian ("because it would be to much hassle to go and read the comments or look if the argument itself made any sense) you put all indicators leading to that conclusion and none on the contrary. And following your stan lee argument I didn't infer you like to be anal rapped or that you want to be a soccer player because even though you never said in this thread that any of both aren't true, you also didn't gave any indication of they being.
