Why are there so many of these "time loops to save someone" stories by writers that don't consider the moral and practical implications of their stories?

In his attempts to save Aoi Yuuki loli MC can literally kill thousands via butterfly effect. The alternative is that he isn't actually changing anything but rather just creating parallel realities, so he didn't actually save anyone.

Uh, what?

So?
You can do the same without any time travel.

Saving one person you care about > saving a bunch of people you don't care about

>>136228287
If parallel realities exist, then think of his Revival powers as jumping to another reality and leaving the current one behind. So in the reality where he's a 29 year old manga artist being framed for his mother's murder, the guy just blipped out of that reality and into this one where he's still a grade schooler 18 years in the past. He will not return to the other reality, so it's basically the chance for him to start over and make things right.

The thing is that HIS mother is still dead. So is Aoi Yuuki loli. He is saving a different version of his mom and a different version of Aoi Yuuki.

but his mom died.

Nah, that's the same as abortion. What ifs are irrelevant. He is erasing people that already exist.

No, ONE of his mothers is still dead. While he is reunited with another one of his mothers.

>>136228581
>He is erasing people that already exist.
No, he's erasing them before they exist. What part of time travel don't you understand?

Your shit posting wasted electricity and as a result killed thousands of African children via butterfly effect.

Why haven't you stopped posting?

are you implying killing thousands of african children is bad?

He can't even control his power, so none of that matters.

Besides who gives a fuck if irrelevant people die so a loli can live?

He's trying to create a reality where a classmate of his and his mother aren't dead, as well as attempting to catch a murderer. There's no way any human being would turn down an opportunity to save a loved because of something as unpredictable as the butterfly effect. Him saving these people obviously impacts him negatively though, as stated in the first episode.
>>
A better question is why do people act like time travel is real and has set rules?
>>
>>136228287
Because reality is only reality for the one experiencing it and trust me, if the observer doesn't care about others, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
There are no other realities for the observer to experience anyways, so why would he care about them?

Not if I don't get to fug her, and doing so screws my chances of getting with dere pizzagirl. Rather just go back a couple hours and save my mom.

So you'd rather try helping someone who is suffering rather than putting them out of their misery?

If anything, you're the edgy fag here

Why would you care? You will never meet any of these people. I could say you killed A-kun but saved B-chan when neither of them even existed.

I'd rather just let my mom stay dead, she's lived long enough. She'd probably get lung cancer or something in a couple years anyways, she looks like a smoker.

Trying to save everyone is something worth striving for, though. What SJWs do isn't "saving."

Time travel, though. Nobody else is in danger at the given time.

>>136228287
>In his attempts to save Aoi Yuuki loli MC can literally kill thousands via butterfly effect.
Things just don't change outside the norm without significant events, and to be blunt, you and most people around you are NOT significant.

Also the "butterfly effect" is happening every moment you exist, so you're always doing "damage" no matter what.

>>136233223
So in the first reality we #peace in the middle east?

And I bet that fucker satoru fucked it all up didn't he?

Wrong on both counts.

Abortion ends a guaranteed line of events (as guaranteed as yours or mine) and those people no longer exist as he's gone back in time.

You save her to stay out of prison. And maybe get her help getting some high schooler tail.

Does this show have NTR or not? Someone give me a non meme answer

If there are so many of ourselves in many kind of universes, then that doesn't make life really cheap? I rather don't think about it and just enjoy the story.
>>
>>136233956
Depends on what you call NTR.

Kayo marries some guy and has a child, whist Satoru was in a coma.
However, he had no feelings for her, other than friendship.

People say it's NTR because they wanted Satoru to develop something with Kayo.
>>
>>136228287
If his decision to try and save her could kill thousands couldn't it also save thousands?

You cant deny he had some sort of romantic feeling for Kayo
>>
>>136234035
Pretty boy Hiromi get her. For some odd reason the boy who didn't care for her originally or time-travel-ly suddenly becomes his girlfriend. I say Kenya should have been next in line. One of the other boys got the 2nd abductee. You also can't deny those handholding and blushing moments Satoru and Kayo had. Not even Airi had those moments
>>
>>136228287
>The alternative is that he isn't actually changing anything but rather just creating parallel realities, so he didn't actually save anyone
But in that case he at least manages to create a future where the person lives.
>>
>>136234311
He was in a coma for 15 years. The fact that the two who had originally died were able to grow up and have a child is amazing enough and they are clearly grateful for him saving their lives.
>>
>>136234249
He had an attraction, as he would likely have with any other female he would become closer enough.
But he had no deep feelings for her.

>You also can't deny those handholding and blushing moments Satoru and Kayo had.
Same thing I said above.
>>
>>136232871
Because he probably only has reruns for events he can alter.
>>
And we are in a loop of NTR meme and No Romance Meme again, step up your game a bit, anon.
>>
>>136232871
he only travels back in time for events that he is in the vicinity to influence.

What's the point of doing anything? We are literally branching off into innumerable multi-verses every attosecond.

It's not reality we are worried about, it's the perceived environment. It doesn't matter how many people you kill inadvertently, if they are strangers, or from another universe, they have no impact on your life, thus have no meaning to YOUR perception of the world.

Don't think about it too hard.
>>
>>136228287
How exactly would he be killing thousands by butterfly effect?
>>
>>136234195
Didn't they have a fight in the manga right before she got killed? And they'd likely nail him just because running makes him look guilty.

>kill thousands via butterfly effect

Why should i care if I was in a similar situation? Morality is subjective from era to era, from culture to culture, from generation to generation. and to a decent number of people, Morality is childish fantasy and only plant weakness.

For me, as well many others like me, i'd sacrifice Billions to save 1 single person who is precious to me. their might be million of possibilities of myself meeting with these people and have a wonderful friendship or a relationship, but if i don't come to know them before sacrificing them, i don't a thing.

Don't tell me you think that there are actually people who can't sleep at night from the guilt of killing someone or getting a PTSD from that? that's a romanticized version of a fool's reality, Grow up kiddo.

Hell! i'd probably feel more sad for the innocent wildlife and animals that i might hurt with the butterfly effect, but definitely not for humans. you can call it Misanthropic, apathetic or whatever you want.. but don't put such a great value on yourself that allows you to apply your values and morality to others, you are amongst the disposable billions.

If a person never exists then what value would their suffering have?

One thing I've been struggling with recently is the value of suffering- like for example is it suffering if it is not remembered? Like say you're paralysed during an operation, you're in pain as they're cutting into you but you don't remember a damn thing and the only person who notices is the anaesthetist who checks the logs. Or a baby who doesn't remember when the jew stole his foreskin.
But if that's the case then what about dead people? They don't remember either.

You are missing the point of physical pain,

Physical pain only exist to warn your extincts to avoid a potentially lethal object or subject.

Some people are born without any nerve system or an underdeveloped one, their immunity to pain can lead them to early death.. as in the case of a Young Girl who couldn't feel that she was chewing her own tongue along the food, she eventually chocked on her own tongue.

Mental Pain, is a different thing, but the same application of nerves applies to mental pain, people tolerance to this kind of pain varies, but you can train your mental fortitude to reduce the pain threshold. this same technique can be applied to physical pain as well. Those with strong control over their mental capabilities can even withstand the most excruciating of physical and mental pain and live on as nothing happened.

Lose of temporary memory is the brain's survival mechanism, if you remember everything you'll brain will overload and breaks down. but since the beginning, the physical pain you feel, is an illusion, a Zero, so is the value of a person you never met.
