I love how BDumbs let the Dragon Mask dude be  even after warning him about random substacks.

Why is that every person with a Gundam avatar in that forum a total retard? I imagine Amuro bitching about the Jews while Char fighting eternal flame wars against Grummz.

Thread doesn’t have a disclaimer at the bottom about Blizzard and Microsoft’s misdeeds, and nepnep just casually posting in that thread too. Curious

[BIONIC]

I don't think this should be about calling out any specific member but I think in general there's an almost natural drive to make more negatively leaning threads than positive ones. Not that I checked but I bet we have more threads about "character designs you hate" than "character designs you love" and the former tend to get more engagement too.

What I've learned in years of marketing and customer service:
- People who are positive but not effusive tend to be quietly positive
- People who are negative tend to be effusive and find like minded people that think like they do, often to the point where they think they represent the larger market (a common criticism of Era as a whole, especially from those who work in the industry)

Plus, I think we all know that a lot of times people are positive negative threads because they are trying to validate some viewpoint that they have. It's why OPs often abandon threads when they backfire, or request they are closed.

I'm sure the data has changed as social media has grown, but back when I was school, the statistic we were told was that a happy customer tells 1 person about their experience and an unhappy customer tells 10 people about their experience.

The most it's changed is that those 10 unhappy customers now seek each other out to all talk about how much that company sucks, is out of touch and how no one likes them anymore.

(Negativity makes the internet go round these days, especially with bots amplifying it)

Honestly, it's less bots and more the way the algorithms are currently configured. This has been known since the Facebook Files came out and showed how these companies have their algorithms set to force us into conflicts with each other so that we stay on the platform and argue and earn them money. In the before times, the internet was ruled by fandom stuff. Hell, for a long time people thought that BuzzFeed had figured out the internet. They used quizzes and games and happy fandom stuff to generate money for a newsroom that literally won awards and broke major stories. Then the algorithms came and changed all that almost overnight.

I know I keep pointing to the Facebook Files, but if you want to really understand why the modern internet is the way it is you need to read those articles.

The algorithms!1!!

It's worse in Remake because the Turks actively commit the genocide on Sector 7, whereas in the original game they were just punchclock villains sent to stop the party from committing the plate drop.

That's honestly the core issue, their "expansions" to the story often introduce further questions the games aren't willing to answer narratively.

Doesn’t Reno push the button that drops the plate in the original game?

Does he?

Shit, he does. I completely forgot about that.

This cunt really does just make shit up and speaks with such confidence too

If anything, the Turks actually felt bad about it in the REmake and have problems to dismiss it as “just doing my job”. Did Planet Smasher play the game?

The slave trade was also prehistoric. Only in very recent history did we as a civil society outlaw and denounce the trade, yet it was a major source of income and sex trafficking is just a continuation of a specifically depraved form of slavery.

Regarding Epstein's contact, there are a lot of interesting emails referencing murder, hunts and "videos of girls":

AR "Killed now" JE "great great great"

AR "Got it !! Amazing old male and amazing hunt !!" ER "great photo" AR "Thanks. Thrilling hunt"

<snipe hunt is over, moon crickets in field bag> "Guess what? They're n******"
(we already knew JE was racist af from other emails but jfc)

Going to mean Lana's party now to hunt

AR "Great ! Did you get my video with the girls ?" JE "no"
(some other wild stuff gets discussed there that I'm not touching)

Here's a DOJ copy (I recommend using a VPN)

Regarding the rampant objectification of the people that were abused, this just got found in the files and is deeply disturbing seeming.

Fair warning, this may be a picture of a preserved corpse (J***y?). Regardless of what it is (hopefully it's just a statue), it's disturbing af.

[Daffy Duck]

Its the social norm, people are conditioned from birth.

I think if there was no stigma anymore the straight people would decline a lot.

Sure its better now then 20 or 30 years ago but there's still a lot of anti LGTBQ+ sentiment

I believe the famous Kinsey studies estimated that the number of people somewhere in the bisexual spectrum must be way more than people usually admit when polled. Like waaay more, almost half a given population.

Culture makes people afraid of exploring their sexuality.

Haha

no, I sorta want to hear why you think bisexual women are primarily having heterosexual relationships, because while I do want to give you the benefit of the doubt, the way you've worded it has some pretty intense bierasure vibes.

straight? fucking obviously? transwomen are women.

some fucking weird posts in this thread.

Also can't help but notice the use of the word "genocide" to mean "any event where more than 0 people of any categorization die". 

My god, they genocided the World Trade Center!

Been deciding whether or not to respond to this post as a trans woman who spent years struggling with their sexuality until they realized I was a lesbian after much soul searching, I really dislike the implication that most lesbians should have an asterisk next to their sexuality and they aren't really what they feel or think they are, my sexuality is no a societal convivence and me being confused and lying to myself.

Bitch you are a straight male incel, and lying about that is what’s causing your confusion.

You start a discord that leads to the death of the website

i got banned from that discord for saying postal workers were shit at their jobs. stricter than any gaf discord i was ever in

I mean, the little twink was a Reeee mod and all those guys were on the bore because they were actually still bitter they got banned.

That's why there was the great bire schism.

Deep down they still wanted to be part of that community and couldn't deal with the constant mocking from us degenerates. I mean, all they had to do was ignore the thread, but in true REEEEEEEE style they didn't even have the self discipline to do that.

LOL, this cunt doesn't work in marketing. He's a customer service phone bitch and the marketing chicks laugh at him daily. He is probably planning to shoot up the place.

I dunno I think it's super important for our favourite brands to connect deeply with the player experience and allow us to tailor our own playstyles so we can game our way.

I also hope you realize that many people also treat lesbians and gay men poorly, with lesbians to this day treated as women who haven't found the "right man" (or worse rhetoric about "fixing" lesbians) or have sexualities treated as little more as a fetish for men; which can make the mentality that many of us aren't really what we believe we are quite hurtful, that people within the LGBTQ+ community see us calling ourselves lesbians and assume we must have an asterisk next to it and we're just confused quite frustrating.

You aren’t a lesbian you’re a guy who cosplays as a girl online and likes anime girls

I'd like to propose that the large rise in bi identification in young people could be that it's a way to be part of a special community with zero need to commit to anything. Sorta like Zeo with the "He/they" pronouns.

It was probably too difficult for him.

[filler]

fuck shosta!

[Greatness Gone]

Did Planet Smasher play the game?

The answer to this question, no matter the context, is always no. I’m convinced he YouTubes all the games he “plays.”

I feel echoes is mixing two forms of discrimination here to obfuscate the issue of being a self declared Trans Woman that heavily and openly fetishes lesbians (so contributing to the issue that he claims to have  ). 

The make believe approach that transbians use to try to get their way is another reason why they are losing the patience of the wider LGBQ community.
