The civilians are so dumb it's disappointing

Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when the desire for group consensus overrides people's common sense desire to present alternatives, critique a position, or express an unpopular opinion

its a real phenomenon

Friendly reminder, that in 1938 people really thought US was invaded by aliens because audio drama was airing on radio and it caused wide panic.

Difference is, LycoReco takes place in 21st century where fuckton of people can mass record and tweet stuff in 30 seconds, while in those times Radio was still a fairly new tech for majority of the population, not to mention that the fastest communication method of that time was either a cable phone or a telegraph, which fun fact - wouldn't transmit pictures or videos and so couldn't really proof that this was 100% real right away

RogerCop said:

It might be a real phenomenon, but two people, possibly more, traded fire and kill each other.

This was just bad writing.

Piromysl said:

But in 21st century people are way dumber than ever in recorded history.

they might be thinking its just acting performances too

RogerCop said:

They were civilains with families.

This is bad writing, no excuses.

DarkHomieC said:
To be fair there is still a whole episode left, and potentially more seasons; also they didn’t really show the places where the girl and the guy got shot. I would really right it off to soon, even though it looks like the people just fell for the “staged act”.

But it doesn't mean that the entire thing wouldn't be mass posted on the internet and eventually verified to be real by anyone who isn't an idiot

youre free to think that way but the secret police state can cover them all up too later on

RogerCop said:

Mate, just because 10% of the population believes the earth is flat, doesn't mean the other 90% are dumb.

RogerCop said:

They most likely can't, at least without the help of the writers, too many people were killed and each of them had families, friends...

It was simply badly done, they might address it later, but the way they are going it doesn't seem like it.

Piromysl said:

Dunno how this is supposed to be an argument, because it is a well known fact that with just a little bit of manipulations people will belive whatever authorities want them to believe.

deg said:
so much fake news today in the internet world so the saying lies spreads faster than facts holds true still



no only few gun incidents happen as far as i remember like not even 100+ cases

RogerCop said:

10 cases are more than enough,it's impossible to cover that without the writers help.

RogerCop said:

I'm telling you that the population won't believe what the television says if their friend just got shoot by a school girl.

deg said:


obviously the writers will do just that

Piromysl said:

Authorities WILL cover up one or two people going missing.

RogerCop said:

They even hinted that there were a lot more people shooting each other.

DarkHomieC said:

I still wouldn’t write it off, anything can happen. There could be more violence, or there could be an uprising for people who believe about the organization.

Naroomaki said:
I wouldn't say the civilians were dumb per se, but are in paranoia from Majima's announcement broadcast. Majima's master plan was to expose the violent nature of the lycoris to the world. Thus, he sent his men to the radio tower only to get attacked by the Lycoris. And then showed footage of the blood bath aftermath of it which triggers fear and anxiety. But little did the civilians know that this was all planned out and that Majima led his men their to die.
Him scattering the thousand guns all over Tokyo was to get a reaction out of the civilians. Majima wanted to see how they would respond if they spotted a Lycoris in uniform out in the public.

Ok so bear in mind that the show told us 100 people found the guns.
That's 100 people who know the truth. If anything happens to them, their families will know, their friends will know. The witnesses in the street will see them fire it against police officers or Lycorises + their families and their friends will know of these incidents (we see 2 examples on screen).
And if we take into account all the tower workers we see dead in episode 10, are they never gonna be missed?
And then you remember that in episode 9 Chisato opened fire on civilians on a high way (one of the worst moments for Chisato as a character), but I guess none of these people remember anything?
And then you remember that in episode 7, an entire police station, with all the policemen and workers there got massacered, so their families and anyone in range of the gunfire sound (and that's a large area) would've known something was up.
And then remember that this has been happening since Takina started a gunfight in a residential nighborhood in episode fucking 1, (if we forget about the stupid montage the show starts on). and has happened almost every episode except 3.

Please don't try to defend the logic of how any of these orginizations remain secret and just call it what it is: A fuck-up on the writers part. Or maybe they know and they just don't give a shit. idk.

Few people think and act different.

Then, Lycoris Recoil shows... the real world.

RogerCop said:

It most likely won't be in this season, after all the end seems to be more about Chisato death, let's be real.

deg said:


again the secret police state can cover it all up even going as far as making 1000+ people gone missing without a trace

and you are underestimating the power of Fake News and Big Lie

RogerCop said:

We are talking about random people that have friends around the globe, on other countries, that have families of their own.
It's an impossible cover up.

DarkHomieC said:

It’s an anime original, so it could be like that or it could be she survives, but now there’s a bigger problem. Tbh I feel like Chisato isn’t going to die, but someone else will.

deg said:
asian culture like the japanese are collectivist too so yes they follow herd mentality more

they simply will be silenced like no media will cover their stories as instructed by the police state that is totalitarian

I would normally agreed with you, but at least 10 people died and everyone loves conspiracies nowadays.

It's literally impossible to cover up without the writers help.

Secret333 said:

The numbers above easily reach more than 100k, what’s even funnier is you implied that the DA was the biggest terrorist organization in the world.

“Asian culture are more collectivist so they follow herd mentality more” -deg

Now this is what I call a bruh moment.
