What is the exact right picture? How should I see it differently?
Seeing Alisae as potential scum pushing you seems secondary to your hatred of her seeing you in bad faith.
Is this how I should see it?
I’m saying I don’t think zero tolerance for weak reads is apt
I’m going to chastise someone for any form of read on me that I think allows scum to skate by, which I predominantly see in scumreads
Alisae’s read on me as it stands is a zero-responsibility read because it has no bearing on anything I have actually done, instead using what others have done as a shortcut. So it’s a double-whammy of itself being a “scum skating by” type of read and one that allows scum to paint the picture they want if Alisae is town.

That's what I meant by weak reads in context, outsourcing your read to the opinions of others
I gave Alisae the benefit of the doubt since she prefaced you not being townread by players = you're scum with saying she needs to read you. Saw it as an opinion prior to diving deep instead of a malicious attack on you. I see how scum would paint you in a bad light with this tho.

I'm saying someone who lies has a higher chance of being mafia
Someone who lies well is the most dangerous as mafia, so we need to eliminate good liars in case they are mafia

This is BS, It's not about eliminating the player with the greatest ability to lie, it's about eliminating the player who is lying, and even that it's just oversimplifying the game as it's not as easy as that. Something like this will lead you to want to eliminate the same player in every game just because they are good at lying, instead of... because of their actual alignment.

I would hope the differences would be self evident, but to explain part of it, my read is actually an expression of a gamestate situation that I think deserved resolving. Alisae’s is merely a meta platitude.

Anything quantifiable? I think it's notable that Dunnstral seems to be getting on to a very similar point there to what you were just saying about Kawaii
