If you were in the Avatar universe (with the blue people) and got really close to nutting and then connected your tail thing to the environment around you, and then came, would that be rape? Like what if you were drunk and you accidentally connected your tail to the world while jerking it, are you raping the planet?

@luwa You and the planet in that universe aren't seen as different things, only separated for a short time

So it would be seen as you sharing it with a larger part of yourself

So what you're hypothesizing is that it is impossible to rape another being in Avatar. based.

@luwa I'm saying that culturally, from the tribe in the first movie, as I haven't watched the second, the concept doesn't exist, which doesn't mean it isn't a thing

After all, when they kill something to eat, they have a ritual of respect because obviously that part of you didn't want to die, and would rather eat you

So I imagine they'd still see it as an extreme lack of respect towards parts of your body that don't want it, though it is in the lore that there are orgies where everyone's connected to the land

@Sp @luwa What do you think of the people saying that the navi actually aren't in tune with nature and that they dominate it

I'd say they're probably as in tune with nature as could be as beings with the level of intelligence they have. Though you could argue that its changing due to the fact they need to defend themselves against the invading humans.

@luwa @Jazzy_Butts I'd say they're not at all in tune with nature, but lack the power to do more damage

They're made to be made mirrors of africa and the american indigenous groups
Which with a basic understanding of history seem in tune with nature, but anthropoly shows that that was not the case
