Junko's ability is to "purify" things. But purity

Think of it as refining.
Raw diamond > refining > The diamond you see in [those shitty] stores.

Or like this.
You take something, take what it's good at, and make it better, removing its flaws, making it perfect, or "pure".

I see it as her being able to remove all "wabi-sabi", imperfections from an object. So for instance, she could return old or broken items into the perfect form in which they were intended to be made, or return a collector's item. In regards to people, we know she can turn an imperfect, unsure and complicated human, youkai or fairy into a spirit that perfectly embodies their "reason for existence"

Is "purity" and "perfection" not subjective?

Gods are usually depicted as having personalities in pretty much every culture, so it stands to reason that she merely changes the state of a thing into her personal ideal and even that may be subjective.

She is a god, not an act of nature.

>Gods are usually depicted as having personalities in pretty much every culture, so it stands to reason that she merely changes the state of a thing into her personal ideal and even that may be subjective.

I doubt it has to be her ideal. She can probably make someone who's angry into a being of pure anger, someone who is sad into a being of pure sadness.

>Is "purity" and "perfection" not subjective?
I don't think so in this sense. "Pure energy", "pure water", "perfectly spherical" aren't really subjective.

>>17520998
>subjective
No. Not to me atleast.
Nothing else really matters. Junko may as well be able to purify anything she chooses.

Junko is my girlfriend.

>I don't think so in this sense. "Pure energy", "pure water", "perfectly spherical" aren't really subjective.

Even those are arguably subjective. What difference does it make if in the scope of the universe if some water is -pure- H2O? Purity is a human measurement. Without humans, there's no purity.

>I doubt it has to be her ideal. She can probably make someone who's angry into a being of pure anger, someone who is sad into a being of pure sadness.

Even there you're citing human emotion. Most of which is subjective beyond primal, human emotion.

The qualia of your sadness may not be the qualia of mine, because in the end sadness is just your body's way of internal management.

Junko is my mom!

Emotion is not subjective.

>>17521102
Most of the emotions people experience are personally and culturally subjective.

>>17521138
>Emotions are culturally subjective
That is the actual current dumbest thing I have ever heard.

>>17521442
There are multiple anthropological accounts and psychological studies of cultures describing emotions that have to context in other cultures. As well as cultures who don't experience certain emotions.

A lot of it stems from how individualistic or collectivist a culture is.

Welcome to modern psychology, anon.

Emotions not exiting in certain cultures/people =/= emotions being subjective. Some autist's inability to inexperience anger doesn't mean that what being angry means is subjective.

>psychology
No wonder it's such bullshit.

That's exactly what it means. Word for word. You just described subjectivity.

Take your psuedoscience back to >>>/sci/

>>17521565
It's not my fault that your own logic defended my point and you attempted to discredit an entire science because it doesn't fit your world view.

Junko must have turned you into the pure form of a man of logic and reason!

"I touched on it a little in Curiosities of Lotus Asia, but if I have to say it then it would be the power of the gods. A pure power from before things had names. When you give a name to something, its godly nature disappears. But she held onto that pure aspect all this time, and she can bestow it upon other things. It's a power that's almost like giving birth to a god. "

Think of chocolate. The chocolate most people eat is chocolate PLUS. It's made to be sweet and delicious. Junko could make it pure chocolate, which is bitter and awful.

so pure
