Much like excusing nonsensical things "because fantasy," calling everything "strawman" doesn't make you "right" in the slightest.

"Strawmanning" is the act of presenting some unstated argument in place of that which was stated. Your argument was "it's okay because it's fantasy." I was refuting that argument by giving another scenario and asking if that was okay "because fantasy."

I don't know why you have the urge to even argue this as if you're in favor of it. You're not making any sense, and I really think you just want to argue for the sake of argument against anyone who's not 100% satisfied with how the game plays.

You can use your argument to argue that everything in the game that doesn't exactly match the real world is wrong because, well, if you think walking skeletons is okay, then what about farting rainbows, or whatever you said. That is a strawman.

From later posts, it appears that the real problem is that the arrow shooting skeletons sunk a ship, which likely caused deaths, which were likely exasperated by the real point of my post, which is that there are more serious issues in this situation that need to be fixed, like swimming and fighting in water. That seems to contradict your "100% satisfied" argument.
