    This is equivocation. You cannot freely shift between “it resembles a letter” and “it is that letter” for private convenience.

    To the argument it is that letter:

    You can’t just put accents on top of letters just because it looks cool.

    They didn’t. It’s not a letter. It’s not an A becoming an Å. What it looks like, in the sense of its literal specific shape, is a Λ with a circle above it. If you’re going to complain about that linguistically then you’d insist it reads STARGLTE.

    To the argument it resembles that letter:

    I’m not saying that they should change the logo or anything, just that it looks stupid.

    Seriously though - it’s a pyramid and a sun being used in place of a largely triangular letter. What it looks like, in the sense of close approximation to anything the target audience is familiar with, is that letter. It’s such a close resemblance that you’ve misinterpreted it as that letter, with an accent. Insisting it’s a poor fit is unconvincing.

      I really don’t care what you say or think. I think it looks like an Å and I think that looks stupid and you don’t. So what? What is there really to debate?

      This is equivocation. You cannot freely shift between “it resembles a letter” and “it is that letter” for private convenience.

      How was I supposed to know that a symbol that was in between two letters was in fact not a letter and was instead a fictional symbol? I thought the name of the franchise was Stargate so I thought that the symbol between G and T was supposed to be a stylized A. I didn’t know that the name of the franchise was STARG🌏TE.

      IMO that’s not my fault. How would anyone new to the franchise know that the franchise is called STARG🌏TE and not STARGATE? Lots of people would assume the symbol is stylized because that is incredibly common for logos and posters.

      Of fucking course I didn’t think that 🌏 was an actual Å everyone and their mother could understand it’s supposed to be something else.

      Insisting it’s a poor fit is unconvincing.

      Lol I’m not trying to convince anyone. To me it just looks stupid. I don’t care if it’s a pyramid or some shit.

      Yes this comment is long and rambling but I don’t feel like removing redundancy because it’s apparently needed and it takes more time than just pressing send.

        Oh cool, so why would I read another word or talk to you ever again?

          I have said that I don’t care multiple times and yet you replied, so that’s up to you I guess.

          Gladly block me If that makes you feel any better about your weird symbols.
