Aussies are idiots. I've never interacted with an intelligent one online. It's always just straight to insults and edgy obscene language, never any coherent thoughts.
Add to that a show that's widely known for killing your brain cells, and you have a double whammy of stupid.
I don't think that the people I was talking about were actually Australian. At least not most of them. As I said, it's Seppos who are so sad that they actually watch the Aussie version, even "live", in the wrong time zone, I almost guarantee you that, lol...
And the threads I linked to are about the American show, and the American ("parent") subreddit, which is where all of this went down...
Show is a Dutch concept. I think the Australian version may even predate the Yankee one. However Reddit is obviously largely Americans, and the sub, of course, largely reflects that. As you might expect...
I agree about the show killing your brain cells, though. No argument from me, there. But that's the whole point. It's a guilty pleasure. It shouldn't become an "obsession", though, like it obviously has for some people there. That's when it becomes a bit of a worry, lol...
Anyway, I mainly watched the few eps of the current series that I did because I have a vague (very vague) connection to the woman who ended up winning. Like, we've almost certainly met a couple of times, albeit decades ago, lol. So... That's why I wanted to watch, and discuss it. To see her win. In a totally different format. Nearly 20 years after the first time. That's pretty much the only reason I cared, lol.
She also has, oddly, a health issue that I also have, and have similar struggles with, so I guess that... Made me care more, too.
Sometimes trash is more than just "trash" alone, I guess.
I'm Aussie as well but the amount of leftist Aussie fuckheads that are out there is way to high.
On reddit as soon as a I see r/Melbourne in their history I know I'm about to read some retarded horseshit. The mod causing a lot of the drama at the moment on the comicbook sub is an Aussie.
Those r/politics threads that are anti Trump are full of Aussies giving their two cents about local American politics.
Leftist Australians are some of the most arrogant, narcissistic retards that are out there. The false confidence and delusion they have is over the fucking top.
The Project did a story where the hosts had travelled overseas and they were exclaiming how every other country no longer gave a shit about Covid. They were incredulous. They just couldn't beleive it. They don't realize that for the majority of the world it wasn't as big a deal as we made it. They did not have the psychotic response that we did. They do not understand that they are authoritarian who operate purely on emotion and that's not how everyone else operates. They have no principles, they have no morals so they don't understand when people have them and stand by them.
Tell that to the people on Frostmourne-OCE. 101% of them are douches. Maybe it's the intersection of Aussies playing WoW, but dunno, from the COVID thing, I tend to think it stretches beyond that.
It’s a specific subset of the population, I guess. There’s other stuff at play, like time zones, and “niche-ness”. And maybe you’re right. Maybe there’s some… Poor “culture”, around those behaviours, too.
I won’t disagree with that. I just discount that we’re all like that.
I’m not (usually) like that. I know plenty of people that aren’t.
If we’re talking Aussie gamers, though..?
Yeah, I know a few who fit what you are describing. I even hung out with a few guys like that, a while back, because I was so starved of friendship that I thought any friends were better than none.
They were horrible to me, and to everyone, frankly (drugs, man. Drugs make you mean. Even MDMA, after a while). But it took me a while to realise that I was better off without that in my life.
So trust me, I understand what you are referring to, lol.
I think last sub I lurked on over there in a serious sense was the Formula 1 sub. It's had the same effect, now half the posts are bitching about some sort of racism or whatever. Pussy Hamilton can't STFU about muh racism and all those sheep there baaa along with whatever the hell he says.
Even when he isn't bitching about "muh racism", and virtue signalling about how "woke" he is, he's just such an annoying, nasty, spoiled little shit that I can't even, lol...
But yes, this is what the AFL (Australian Rules Football) sub is like. Exactly the same. As are, bizarrely, most of the off-Reddit forums, now (such as BigFooty) - they distinctly weren't, five years ago, but they are now...
Even for each of the clubs. There's no way that is a coincidence, lol...
See also the Tennis sub, which, uhh, almost tried to ban me last week for criticising "King" Kyrgios, outlining my own life experience (which was relevant to the discussion at hand), and making it clear that what Seppos think is "the law", or "morally right", isn't the same, everywhere else in the world (I'm not going to go into what it was, but let's just say - it was a topic that is much more restrictive, in some ways, in the US than elsewhere, and is something that "internet Yanks" tend to get up in arms about)...
Drive to Survive... it brought in so many new viewers into Formula 1.
The problem is all of these new ones seem to be morons. Formula 1 has been trying to broaden its appeal to capture the pop culture crowd a lot lately and so its virtue signalling hard... problem is for them is that most of the teams and the drivers don't care about that stuff and some come from cultures which actively oppose that stuff so its all nonsense.
That is a mod from that sub actively harrassing and stalking the complainant. A mod.
Place has only become more batshit insane since, I would say.
Local one (purely for the Australian version) is much, much quieter, but relatively less insane.
I got my karma destroyed for explaining to those freaks (on the main sub) that accents are environmental, not hereditary. And for saying that giving people options for ways to vote (as in other countries) for contestants, rather than having to affirm their details on a website to do so, would be optimal.
Absolutely wild, lol...
Then again, it's a "fandom". And it's a "fandom" for a reality tv show, on Reddit, with a whole sub of Seppos and Seppo-wannabes thinking they know better than the people the show was actually (theoretically) produced for (i.e. Australians), and aimed at...
I most definitely should have expected that one, heh.
Eh, Dom gets upset about it, sometimes, so I just figured I would avoid the possible complaints...
The threads on that sub (JustUnsubbed) don't auto-archive, anyway. They've obviously turned that feature off. So... I figured it was better to be safe than sorry, here!
Hopefully the above links still work for people, even if they're obviously not direct, lol...
I've decided to actively stop lying folks, so all my comments and posts from now on, where possible, will be true, while also, of course, taking care to remain anonymous.
Not to say that I was lying, anywhere here, before, but just that I am going to make a specific effort, in all facets of my life, to try to actively tell the honest truth, wherever possible.
Doesn't change much. Just the way I write, perhaps.
It's just a habit that needs to change, frankly. Because I never learned how (to be an honest person), and it is really, really not sustainable to continue to allow "unnecessary untruths" to continue to be a part of my life.
Not to sound "holier than thou" (intentionally), or anything. I just wanted to be clear and upfront about that.
Yeah, sorry. It’s a bit random, I know, and doesn’t relate directly to the post, really.
Just having a rough day/week/month, I guess, ha.
But I just wanted to say it somewhere here, in case people wondered why I have started speaking in a slightly less “mystical”, “grandiose” way, I guess…
I have a habit of, if not outright lying, slightly exaggerating things to make myself sound… Less shit, I guess. Not so much here, but in life more broadly. “Better than I am”, perhaps best describes it, I suppose.
I really need to stop doing that, because it is really, really bad, when it becomes a habit. So much so that you start lying when you don’t have to, and when the other person clearly doesn’t need you to. Somehow it apparently took me until now to realize that.
So… I’m just going to actively try and be “truthful”, where the truth won’t doxx me of course. Here and everywhere.
Which doesn’t matter, I suppose. It just might make me a bit more blunt.
Aussies are idiots. I've never interacted with an intelligent one online. It's always just straight to insults and edgy obscene language, never any coherent thoughts.
Add to that a show that's widely known for killing your brain cells, and you have a double whammy of stupid.
Gee, thanks. We really are not all like this.

Tl;Dr Aussie leftists are loud morons.
I'd agree with this...speaking as an Australian. Too many leftist dipshits who run on emotion over logic.
Tell that to the people on Frostmourne-OCE. 101% of them are douches. Maybe it's the intersection of Aussies playing WoW, but dunno, from the COVID thing, I tend to think it stretches beyond that.
Aussie online gamers?

So trust me, I understand what you are referring to, lol.
Doesn't Frostmourne have a bunch of non-English speakers too? I remember them being really bad too.
No, Frostmourne is Oceanic. It's just Australians and NZers.
You're thinking the US realms for South America, Goldrinn, Ragnaros, Quel'thalas, Gallywix, etc..
Weren't there a ton of indos on Frost? Idk maybe you're right, I might be thinking of Rag.
I think last sub I lurked on over there in a serious sense was the Formula 1 sub. It's had the same effect, now half the posts are bitching about some sort of racism or whatever. Pussy Hamilton can't STFU about muh racism and all those sheep there baaa along with whatever the hell he says.
Fuck I hate "Lewis", man, lol...
Even when he isn't bitching about "muh racism", and virtue signalling about how "woke" he is, he's just such an annoying, nasty, spoiled little shit that I can't even, lol...

Be careful. Once you stop hiding your power level, you draw a lot of aggro from the psycho element of the left
