But this is a common thing isn't it. Not just in fiction but in real life as well. I'm not sure where I want to go with this so you don't have to reply. |

It made me think why even Mibu Sayaka still attending The Magic School, more than a year if she cannot bear with discrimination?
She should just quit the Magic School and find many other schools and other ways to hone her sword skills where there is problem free. Her specially is sword combat, so being a course 2 student is least of her worries. She already knew herself that she does not have the requirement of a course 1 student level of magic skills. But then again, if it weren't for Kirihara Takeaki, Sayaka seriously has to quit the magic school. I can't believe there is a terrorists organization succeeded on manipulating this many students for their desires. The Magic School might get sued by some student's parents for letting this happen. |

More and more this show is starting to remind me of American military /sci fi. Most of which leans hard to the right and a number of whose authors like to put in liberal polices and thinly disguised well know liberals as the root of all evil(including having them rounded up and herded into an arena to be shot for the good of the nation). I find it annoying because of all the straw man and stacked deck arguments even if I agree with the author's opinion about whatever they are complaining about. Even more so I guess if I agree because it makes the rest of us look bad by association. |

Politically-focused fiction in general tends to cheaply caricaturize "the other side" of the issue. I've never seen a big difference between the right and the left when it comes to this. Mahouka is not much better, but it's not much worse either. At least Tatsuya has put some thought into his political/philosophical position, and he's brutally frank about it. At least Mibu is implicitly being forgiven for her mistakes, and is not being downright demonized for her position.

Although i agree that strawman or stacked decked arguments are a bit annoying, i don't find fiction or real life that much better in respect to the portrayal of this. "Us vs Them" is kind of human nature so someone is gonna get denounced sooner or later anyways imo. |

How does one simply butcher the phrasing of another person? If it was such an important moment, you'd think she would remember everything word for word. It just doesn't make any sense.
It would make more sense if she "misinterpreted" what Mari said if she presented it in a vague manner, but Mari was very clear in saying that Mari was no match for Mibu. Completely remembering a whole different phrasing on the other hand is just pure WTFBBQ moment for me. I don't get it. Otherwise, nice episode. I love seeing Miyuki in action, and Tatsuya is just a badass at close hand-to-hand combat. And Chiba is pretty badass too

Of course in the end it turns out the only problem was that the underclass is made up of easily lead idiots who had to be shown the error of their ways by the MC. |

Now we have the author later strawmanning the opposition (using Mibu as the symbol) who shouldn't of had trouble conveying such simple ideas. All so he could prop up some right-winged ideology by associating the other side with terrorists and completely undermine them instead of acknowledging that both sides had some merit regardless of whether some international organization ulterior motives might be involved or not. The entire thing is framed in such bluntly laughable biased narrowed fashion that I'm not going to bother taking Mahouka politics seriously at all. I frankly I don't also buy that any of issues in that school are unsolvable, because they aren't. It just requires someone with brains and a effort to care to take the necessary steps to do so. Sure some of these changes may hurt in short term, but anything worth doing usually does especially when it comes to producing positive long term results. |

Are we at this BS again? This isn't even sitting at the back of the bus situation. It's a freakin uniform. And let's be realistic. "forced" wtf.
Let me change a term on that. Hi I'm a first year, I'm force to wear a first year badge with 1st year ID. Those 2nd years and 3rd years are discriminating against me for being a first year which I should be in because I have not reached 2nd year. Are there a bunch of jerks in school there is always jerks in school. Are there circles in school? There are always circles in school. But no "systematic" discrimination is happening on that level. Going on clothing is the flimsiest argument of all the argument, is Mibu level goof up. It's all in your mind, why there the blank on your shoulder is derogatory. Seriously there are many sides to this. Clothing is just... |
