I think this boils down “is it possible to overwhelm magically augmented sight the way you can the human eye”?
I don’t think you can really argue this definitively. You can make an argument that DHs should be immune to gaze effects… but you could also make the argument that the stun effects SHOULD be even more effective, too!
Seeing is seeing… and in a world where magic is real, I don’t think you can say with certainty how it’s supposed to work.
blizzard logic not so good tbh.
look at their game overwatch, theres a character named genji who is a ninja. he has an ability where he can reflect stuff, he can reflect rockets, lazers, bullets, bombs, etc… but he cant block a melee attack? ok
Yes we are blind, in the sense that we lack photo receptors to pick up radiation in the wave lengths that make up red to violet.
You’re misusing your terms. Instead of using the definition of blind as lacking the ability to detect photo radiation, you’re using blind as the lack of awareness. Obviously demon hunters are aware of their surroundings, but they do not use light to see.
So the question becomes, how do gaze attacks work? Are they a physical phenomenon? Is there something about the physical light that causes the effect? Or is it a psychosomatic effect caused by our brain interpreting a particular pattern running through our optical nerves? Or the existence and processing of a particular mental image? And if so, is our magical sight different enough from physical sight to interfere with that pattern or image? Or is it something else entirely, say a ray or spray of magical energy that can only affect us via our physical eyes, or perhaps simply the front half of our skull (attentuation?)?
We see the world the way Neo sees the code in the Matrix or a Jedi sees the force.
Notice how we can see in all directions (above, below, side to side, in front and behind) with Spectal Site. It’s not like we can only detect stealth in a frontward cone. We can spin our camera view and see targets and stealthies where ever they hide.
It still doesn’t define whether or not it would be effective. It’s kind of like that movie “Bird Box” where everyone goes crazy and suicidal if they look at these supernatural phenomena. (SPOILERS AHEAD!) Early in the movie, someone figures that looking at them via a camera/monitor would be perfectly safe.
His logic was perfectly sound. Yet wrong.
Well that is better than a weeping angel where even a video feed is dangerous.
7 months, seriously?
