"Become a magical girl" does not imply becoming a lich soul crystal zombie in ANY way shape or form. Same with the whole eventual witch thing. It was far from clearly explained.
No, but he was asking little girls (minors) to consent into something they could not have an idea of the magnitude of the consequences by misleading them to thinking they were doing something they would like.
Something like that gets you in jail IRL.
Mami loves Kyouko.
Well, read the fucking fine print then, you knob. There are some general rules you'd assume banks would follow when it comes to loans, because plenty of people take them and you know mostly what to expect. When it comes to magical girls you have no fucking clue what you're getting into so it makes sense to try and find some kind of a catch. I mean, who offers to just give out wishes for free?
Hell, since QB offers the same deal to all the girls I'd even argue that it's the standard magical girl contract and getting pissed about the details is just stupid. It'd be like getting angry at the bank because they didn't tell you you'd have to pay back more than you got when that's the basic principle of every loan ever.
>read the fucking fine print
WHERE'S THE FUCKING FINE PRINT YOU DUMBASS
>doesn't explain about the soul gem thing
>doesn't explain they turn into witches
You just proved the point that you shouldn't sign shit without knowing what it is.
Clearly explained would be
>Become a Magical girl and get a wish granted!
>How? By extracting your soul out of your body and into a vessel that you must keep at a 100ft ratio of yourself at all times.
>Why? Because if you don't you will die as having a sould removed from your body usually does. This is the only way to give you magic powers though.
>For further care of your soul gem, you must destroy witches and absorb the power on the grief seeds they leave behind on ocassion, or else your soul gem will slowly die out, and that includes you as well!
>Also keep proper care of your soul gem by never falling on absolute despair or you will become a witch, forget your memories and subsequently be destroyed by another magical girl.
>What do you mean by "Go to hell"?
That was in response to the loan allegory, the meguca equvalent would go a bit like
>hey QB how do you fight the witches exactly
>can I die
>do I get superpowers
>am I gonna turn into some kind of angst-driven zombie with my soul locked up in a jewel thingy
>do magical girls become witches so that other magical girls can fight them and keep fueling that angst-driven ponzi scheme forever while you lot get energy out of that
Those are the questions you should logically ask before agreeing to anything.
Yeah, and since all 14 year old girls are wise and careful enough to get all the information and never make decisions based of incomplete information.
That's probably how things went down in the beginning. Then they had a meeting and after six hours of powerpoint presentations on human psychology they figured out it's better to leave some things out.
That's why we don't give loans to them.
>girls ask all these questions
>Kyubey truthfully answers, no sould gem shit or being turned into witches
>turns out he didn't mentioned (because no one asked, after all) that the deal includes being raped by fat faceless bald men for a whole day once a week
Splendid.
Thus, not explaining clearly and preying on little girls, the target must likely to accept and regret their decision after they understood the consequences, thus becoming witches and serving their purposes.
I don't know how can people not see the evil behind that scheme.
>Oh, btw you might actually die while fighting the witches if your not careful. Your Magical Girl powers will help with that, but you'll still need to be careful.
> Be sure to collect the grief seeds from the witches as well, otherwise you'll turn into one.
>Don't worry about your human body anymore either, you only need to worry about keeping your Soul Gem intact to stay alive
>You won't need to worry about your wish, however. It'll come true. Just remember that changing one small fact won't change anybody's thoughts or feelings.
>And do try to keep a level head about everything that's happening in your life as well, otherwise it's witch time for you
>Oh, you're not interested?
>Suit yourself. There are plenty of other people who want wishes.
>*disappears into thin air, and doesn't pester his potential client into accepting*
If he said and did anything like this, then I'd agree with you.
>NAP
Non-Aggression Pact?
...
As someone already said What Kyuubey is doing is considered illegal and unfair practice.
A proper real life example would be
>alright so according to the contract here, all I just got to do is move these crystals over here and I get paid?
>sure that's pretty much it
>*later gets cancer from the crystals*
>hey you never informed me that this crystals would release radiation
>well you didn't specifically ask that question
making contracts with minors
>Warau salesman NEW
Probably shoulda wished for immunity to cancer then.
Blame falls squarely on the girls.
>ancap
It's enough of a meme for ancapistan to end in Gensokyo.
Not in today's Society.
If any of these girls had told their parents and at least one of them believed them they would seek retribution against those womb-cats for damaging their precious little girls.
Non-Agression-Principle
It's something Anarcho-capitalists throw around at every chance they get.
It's basically become a meme at this point
Really? You think 14 years old girls and below can think of those? Especially when he offers them when they are at their weakest emotionally?
I don't, that was a joke.
>clearly explained terms
Go away, Kyubey.
Bebe was 9 years old, she still went to elementary school others could have been the same age or younger.
Even if they explained things like entrophy and removing of the soul most of them still wouldn't know what that meant.
It's like the guy on the Van offering kids candy, should we blame the children for not knowing they would obviously get kidnapped and raped?
I mean, they didn't ask if the candy really was free...
"Clearly explained terms"
>making contracts with minors
>predatory terms
>exploitative offers
dude would be in jain
There is nowhere it says it isn't...
If it was written "Free candy in exchange of a rape" then the terms would be clearly explained, it is the same with Kyubey.
What does an obscure Indian religion have to do with this?
jail*
Yeah, I agree. Exchanging candy for rape is only morally acceptable if you disclose properly.
Hey, at least people would know what they are getting into if they accept...
I wont ask whether I will instantaneously combust or get cancer for every contract I sign or every job I apply to. If it's an occupation then it must be within legal boundaries, open for inspection and collection of statistics and must adhere to human rights. If it's an occupational hazard, in this case which kills a large percentage of the contractors the contractee has to clearly disclose it. I don't know legal matters but I have enough common sense to know that what kyuubey is doing is illegal and irrational.
What if it's literally a deal with the devil?
Wouldn't stand up in court.
"Hey would you like me to grant you a wish in exchange for eating the butter in this jar ?"
"Ok, sure... Help, I'm dying!"
"The jar also had botulinum toxin in it. You could have asked me for ALL the contents of the jar if you wanted to. I didn't lie to you by not mentioning that the jar also had some poison in it"
No part of becoming a magical girl suggests that you become a monster if you get too down in the dumps.
It would be up to lyubey to mention that
Why won't they just sue him in that case?
I don't know man "Here, have a free wish, anything you want but you'll almost certainly die a painful violent death within a year" isn't exactly a good deal for me.
Your rights as a citizen must be protected no matter the cost. An etraterrestrial entity has no right to engage in contacts without entering state jurisdiction.
Lawyers are expensive and little girsl do not tend to carry much money...
They could and Kyubey would get taken to the cleaners.
It's an oral contract you knob. There is nothing to read. QB also discouraged suspicions and offered contacts when a girl was in danger or emotionally compromised. There was a clear selling strategy on his half.
>contract to minority
>implied terms
>when it fucking matters and not made known
That's not how a contract goes
>>offers a voluntary contract with clearly explained terms
>>never forces anyone to do anything against their will
>>fully compliant with free-market principles and the NAP
>Why was he a bad guy, again?
He's an anime jew practicing usury.
Not ancap, libertarians.
I would watch an ova about the girls taking QB to court with a class action suit.
minors can't sign a legally binding contract, retard
>Knows all human life will be exterminated if he contracts Madoka
>Can still contract other girls in lieu of Madoka
>clearly explained terms
Hahahahahahaha
>Why was he a bad guy, again?
Episode 9:
QB to Madoka: Become magical girl and save the Universe form entropy.
Human race is part of the Universe too and sooner or later you'll join the rest of us.
Episode 10
QB to HomuHomu while Gretchen looms in the background: I've got my quota filled and Earth is FUCKED.
Sucks to be you, bye.
Fuck QB.
Yes they can you fucking dumbass but it's voidable for them.
He wouldn't put out.
Shut up you fags. Kyuubi is a good guy. These girls would be dead without him. Making the contract gave them another chance that they normally wouldn't have. They're free to kill themselves before they turn. They're supposed to be dead to begin with anyway.
Would any 14 year old boy or younger asks those questions?
>oral contract
>fine print
What did he mean by this?
See, here's the thing about Kyuubey. People often argue about their motivations justness as if they're an equal existence to humans. Fact is, they're not. If we are to believe Kyuubey, they're a sufficiently advanced enough species to the point that humans are equivalent to animals for them. So the question we need to ask isn't "is it morally okay for someone to trick children into a shady deal, provided you don't lie and it is to a net gain/it's a necessity to save the overall life in the universe?" We should be asking "is it okay to make an unfair, but truthful, contract with an animal to ensure the better survival of the human species (and any other lifeforms that are equally advanced)?"
To that end, I wouldn't call Kyuubey the bad guy (though as a human, he is an enemy to human life) but something akin to an antihero; doing something that is perfectly valid and even "righteous" but is still an antagonistic force to our perspective.
What does incubator taste like?
Lying by omission is still lying.
Kyubey would be instantly thrown into the jammer after a trial. That means our society deems him as 'bad' guy.
"B-but they're children!" is a lame-ass excuse. That shit doesn't fly when dealing with trillion year old space cats. Like Kaiki said, it's their own fucking fault if they do stupid shit, and if they really want someone to blame they can blame their parents for not telling them not to trust strangers. Kyuubey was a fucking dick, but from a business standpoint he did nothing wrong.
We were talking about downsides, user.
>implying they would even notice the difference
>He's an anime jew practicing usury.
Well said.
A sucker is born every minute, if someone is dumb enough to fall for the jews tricks they deserve everything they get.
>Phoenix shows up to save the day
>Gets jailed for breaking into her room
Thought this was a short series of pages until panel 4, how disappointing.
I wonder who's behind this post...
The only people worth saving are those who recognized the jew and took steps to avoid him and not fall into his plans.
>Would any 14 year old boy or younger asks those questions?
The only reason why Kyubey doesn't usually contract with guys is because they tend not to mood swing as hard as girls (which makes them comparatively bad fuel sources). But I suppose that it in principle could be done if he came across an unusually emotionally unstable boy, or if it was in furtherance of causing a nearby magical girl to witch out who otherwise wouldn't
If he could find a boy who wants to be a (magical) girl he'd be set for life on energy probably. Those ones get angsty like no other.
>In a few years it'll be 10 years, a fucking decade since Madoka was released
>you'll still see threads on it. Goddamn Shaft you done good.
Without going too Sup Forums, considering the entire planet's fucked because of dumbshits who fell into those traps and then produced generations of humans after for us to deal with the fallout, not sure what you're implying.
Or not even that, think about how common it must be for magical girls to make wishes of jealousy
>girl lives in brothers shadow
>contracts with Kyubey so that she will always have something that only SHE can do
>won't fall to despair so long as this is true
>Kyubey, knowing this, contracts the brother
>sister witches immediately because her one source of pride was taken away
>brother witches as soon as he realizes that he was responsible
I mean the 2nd witch won't be as powerful an energy release as the first but hey its still two witches basically for the price of one. That's just good business.
Most of humanity is beyond saving I guess? I mean I wouldn't go so far as actively destroying them but they do it themselves.
>sister witches immediately because her one source of pride was taken away
>brother witches as soon as he realizes that he was responsible
Oh that's good.
You know, I was just thinking.
Very, very early on in pre-history, Kyubee probably offered girls a wish and powers without Witches to fight. That means that those girls were basically dead from the start, because there was no way they could ever replenish their Soul Gems.
After THOSE girls became Witches, Kyubee started the usual program instead.
It would sting twice as hard for the sister because it should be impossible for the brother to contract. It's a betrayal both by the brother and also Kyubey, who guaranteed her that she was special. If the sibling was an older sister instead of a brother, one might expect Kyubey to pursue a contract with them, but not in this case. Stone cold betrayal, all done with an :3 expression on his face. Again, I can see such situations being surprisingly common. There's no drama as mundane and family drama, after all.
>That means that those girls were basically dead from the start, because there was no way they could ever replenish their Soul Gems.
We call those "startup costs."
They probably used up some energy to create some fake witches for the girls to fight. you know, like how you have to start up an engine.
Nigga, it was a wish being offered in exchanged for the services. Do you know how much people would give up for a single wish? No matter how seemingly unfair the terms are, a single wish is just too tempting of an offer to outright refuse.
That and a lot of us are screwed over just from being born.
We can change if we really want to, but most people don't want to take the risks and the path necessary so they opt for what everyone else does. In a world where people are increasingly obsessed with safety and precautions, most people don't want to do what would be necessary to escape.
Those girls are dead from the start but they still get a single wish. They are people that are willing to sacrifice their lives to have their wish granted. Witch or no witch, they would have accepted the offer since they have something more important to them than their own lives.
Never watched the show. But can I adopt that cat?
Yeah he's a really nice cat he was just abused by his previous owners.
He was making legally binding contracts with minors.
You can't do that shit without parental approval.
Space legal
>You can't do that shit without parental approval
He just did.
Is he litter box trained?
No.
>When one of your magical girls wishes to get rid of witches, so you imprison her very best friend in an energy field of eternal torture and plot to overthrow her because interfering with the suppression of entropy constitutes a violation of the NAP

>attempted rape [of middle school student, i.e. a child]?
>no charge, evidence, or official comment to support or lead to it in any way
Instant successful and deserved lawsuit for libel.
Except the narrative is from a human angle, and you're asking [presumably] humans to evaluate those same circumstances. He may be a savior to his race and the universe at large, but in some form he is still a villain from the perspective of the humans affected, notably because his deceit via omission is entirely unnecessary to accomplish his greater aims.
Imagine a scenario in which a cop is trying to stop a terrorist from blowing up some people, but to stop him he has to shoot through a child, who dies from the wound. Objectively the cop is a hero for the greater good performed through his actions, but he still killed the kid and may be considered a villain or at least of dubious merit by the kid's family.
Qubei in this analogy would be a cop who shoots through and kills the kid despite NOT NEEDING TO and in fact going out of his way to; he's still a "hero" for the greater good done but also definitely a villain for literally murdering the kid.
>no charge, evidence, or official comment to support or lead to it in any way
Pretty sure it's implied Madokas parents did indeed report him to the police.
