Would you jump in the portal? (Poll)

[minacia]

This is actually an older poll I'm adapting from NUF.

The Magical Girl of Evil and Darkness approaches you and opens a mysterious black portal in front of you.​

​

She tells you that if you jump into the portal, it will take you to an isekai universe and you will generally be happy with the outcome.​

​

You have no idea if she is trustworthy or not. Upon further inquiry, she identifies herself as an evil magical girl, and states that she never lies. ​

​

When you ask her what kind of isekai universe it will be, she says that she has no idea, and in truth it will be determined from your heart's subconscious desires. ​

​

When you ask her why she is doing this, she explains that she will passively absorb magical energy from you, although it is a tiny amount that you will barely perceive or notice.​

1. Would you jump into the portal?

2. Suppose the the Magical Girl actually sent you to an illusory isekai world of your dreams, and in truth you are just trapped inside her black portal and sleeping. How would you feel if you discovered this truth? What if you were genuinely happy about the isekai dreamworld you ended up in?

3. How do you distinguish dream from reality? Would you prefer an isekai world of your dreams or a "realistic" isekai world that doesn't reflect your fantasies?

4. Suppose there is a potion that can give you incredible dreams of your heartfelt desires. You will fall asleep for 72 hours for every dose of that potion, so it would probably interfere with your working/regular life. Although it is not "addictive" (in a biochemical sense), the potion brewer warns that many people get addicted to the powerful fantasies generated by the potion. Would you take it?

For 1 and 4,

2. It sucks, but like those who just wants to sleep in Inception, ehh why not?
3. I cannot. Or do it like Thanos, Reality is often disappointing.

1. Would you jump into the portal?

- the world is full of suffering, so I guess I'll go? It depends, if I lose my love ones I think yes. The world is hell if you're alone.

2. Suppose the the Magical Girl actually sent you to an illusory isekai world of your dreams, and in truth you are just trapped inside her black portal and sleeping. How would you feel if you discovered this truth? What if you were genuinely happy about the isekai dreamworld you ended up in?

-hm, don't know man. As long as you're happy go for it. They said that everything is fine as long as died smiling.

3. How do you distinguish dream from reality? Would you prefer an isekai world of your dreams or a "realistic" isekai world that doesn't reflect your fantasies?

- I'm a bastard so I want an isekai that answers my dreams, money, girls, loves, happiness, I want it. Reality is bullshit so I hate the latter one.

- If I'm f*cking depressed and I want to die, I think I will drink that potion. I want to escape reality, hoping that my fantasies will come true. It's better to live in that world than suffer in this world full of inequalities.

Can I take my husband with me? How about Marc? Will they be in the same world with me? If I can't take them, I'll stay here.

1. If i have nothing to do dan it sound good.

2. She still told the truth tecnicaly so why not.

3. If in dat dream i feel basic stuff like touching things or pain and some non basic stuff like sadness or love and i also die when i killed dan whats the difference? Nothing is real untill u feel it real and if i feel it real id call it real even if its a dream.

4. Not a bad way to kill time at the weekend eh? Well if it costs money dan mostly not cuz cigarettes cost more and more dis days and new games wont buy themselves so most likely nah. If for free dan its still not a bad time to kiil time at a weekend eh?

This poll shocked me on NUF as well because I definitely wouldn’t jump in...

I’m not that desperate for an isekai.........

People don’t worry about those that they would leave behind?
