they'll immediately follow you around and hit you with spam downvotes and are clearly all coming from the same place.
No, you get downvoted when you post stupid shit. You also get upvoted when you post good shit, but no one is accusing you of running a self-promotion botnet for those. This is that same issue of you being unable to conceptualize that maybe, just maybe, real people have real reasons for not liking all your opinions.
You are one of the most active users on here, and your hot button of calling people "ConPro spammers" is well-known. Have you considered that just because you don't recognize a username doesn't mean they don't recognize you? Because of how forums work, any active, consistent commenter will be read and recognized by more people than they regularly read and recognize in turn.
I think they're raising reasonable concerns, given the things you sometimes spin out over. Your inability to understand this criticism as anything other than a brigade of people who have no investment in the forum hating you personally, rather than taking issue with things you've said and what you think should happen to a space they participate in, only underscores their point.
I think DoM would spontaneously combust if he asked the ConPro mod team for advice.
I think changing it to "A lot of Yasuke Incidents" is better. "These" is redundant in the sentence.
Maybe some of it is inorganic, but every account talking about “agecucks” and the like is actually an old account from a single guy who made dozens (maybe hundreds) of alts over the course of a couple years to do the exact same bit on ConPro until I guess the mods finally got too good at banning him. So he decided to take his show on the road to less defended communities. This isn’t an election year issue, this is one guy who’s been a chronic problem elsewhere finally showing up here.
That’s why Dom showing up for one day and going “guess I got them all, time to leave for another two weeks” is particularly bad here—the troll just waits a day for him to leave again and then logs into his next two accounts. Cycling through them all this way will literally take years.
To be fair, did c/gaming ever nominate a new mod? I saw about five posts going “hey, we should probably decide who we want the admins to promote,” but I don’t recall if they ever made a real decision.
Really? I thought they removed FishyMan in about a day after the mod ragequit. I know he was gone quickly, and I doubt he resigned on his own.
This looks like a bunch of videos or articles that aren’t clearly relevant. What connection am I supposed to be making?
He’s doing ebonics. Read it as a fat black woman saying that school fights/violence/bad grades/crime are “just part of dey cultchah!”
Honestly? If you like Ubisoft games, I think it’s probably not a bad deal. They make what, 2-3 big releases a year (plus the smaller games like Trials, or I think Anno is theirs too?), that consistently follow the same formula, and each cost about 60-70 bucks for the base game. The subscription gets you DLC and add-ons too, so as long as you haven’t grown sick of their formula or their wokeness or have some ethical complaint about them, you will play each release for a few months, finish it, and end up paying less overall than if you bought each title outright.
Of course, that’s quite conditional. If you do have any ethical issues about Ubisoft, or have grown sick of Far Cry/Watch Dogs/AC/Ghost Recon… you’re not going to be happy with it.
But there’s probably a decent chunk of “normie” gamers who do okay with it.
When you say subscription service, do you mean separate from the existing Ubisoft subscription service? They’ve offered a monthly fee to access all their games for quite a long time; is this exempted from that?
That’s not exactly true; rather, it takes one complaint from a person empowered to make complaints, against a target it is acceptable to complain about.
That’s what Skull and Bones started as, right? And we all saw just recently how that turned out.
Siege has a story?
It doesn’t help that much, though. It just raises the brainpower bar a tiiiiny bit to “generate an image in the style of a painting from [historical period,] claim it’s contemporary art depicting your fake historical event.”
See, that would be more believable if you didn’t keep slipping it down to 10/12/middle school in all your comments.
If a consulting firm makes every product they worked on worse, why would one not seek to avoid products they worked on?
It's a Gearbox game, I think Sweet Baby or a similar DEI consultant (maybe even internally) can be assumed from that alone.
His response did help me make a decision, yes.
Admins should definitely be censoring pedo pajeet, and I'm on the fence about you.
Well, he usually pops in about once a week. It's worked okay because we're small. Now that the people really shitting up other boards have started to show up here in the last day or two, we could be in for some trouble.
Probably scored admins are more responsive than our mod.
This guy is probably u/trump4045 a long-time user who caught a silly ban recently. Can’t be sure, though.
I read his comment as saying that the light sentencing was the deliberate enabling of said “useful idiots,” and more broadly that women’s movements supported /encouraged by “Fabian Socialists” have encouraged marital strife and intersexual hostility. Not that he literally meant someone had told her that she should poison her husband.
Honestly, the most unusual part of his comment is who he ascribes it to. If you rewrite it as “feminist influence” rather than “Fabian Socialist,” (or “Jews,” or “Communists,” or “China”) you could use it as a pretty standard talking point for various sections of the right.
Putting aside everything else, “surely God wouldn’t allow us to feel things He didn’t want us to act on” is contrary to pretty much every religion I’m even passingly familiar with. Doesn’t matter if it’s Islam or Christianity or a variant of Buddhism, controlling and overcoming sinful desires is a cornerstone of basically every one. That’s such hilariously bad theology that an equally ridiculous material equivalent would have to be as dumb as being in the ballpark of “why can I feel cold if evolution didn’t intend me to die of hypothermia?”
