pinkdrunkenelephants,

Shit like this is why Lemmy is garbage and why you all need to take better care in vetting who gets to participate in your websites. It should not have been possible for Reddit powermods to infiltrate and take over Lemmy in the first place.

I am sorry you are bearing the brunt of abuse on this platform too. Lemmy clearly doesn’t hold up to its promise.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Nah, I do, and Lemmy’s promise was to serve as a meaningful alternative to Reddit where powermodding like what you experienced wouldn’t happen, and it failed miserably. You’re also not the only person to see how terrible Lemmy has turned out to be or who has suffered because of it. It’s not just your former instance crap like this has happened on, you see.

I hope TenForward turns out to be a better place and that you have a better experience.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

I’m not knocking on what Stamets is doing. In fact, it’s clearly the best thing he could have done.

That doesn’t change the fact that the way Lemmy is as a community and as a platform is one of the main reasons why shit like this keeps happening.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Then what good is your moderation? The whole fucking point of having you around is TO police bad faith arguing. That’s what mods are FOR.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

And you can’t enforce ANY rule without protecting your people against bad faith arguing. It’s a foundation of ALL communities, whether explicitly written in its guidelines or not, because meaningful debate is the foundation of ALL human interaction and is primarily what abuse and harassment is.

The needs of your people are more important than your laziness, selfishness, and unwillingness to do your job. Don’t like it? Step the fuck down. You go find a different community to play king over if you don’t like it.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Then watch her learn how to echolocate and then blind him permanently 🤦

Jesus Christ. Kids do stupid shit like that. They don’t even say how old the kid is. You literally could just bitch at them and make them stop if they were old enough. Or put something harmless but bad tasting on a wig or something and have the kid chew on that, breaking the cycle.

Why do people have to be like this?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

That’s exactly the sort of thing you don’t want your kid remembering. All it will do is foster in her a vengeance against you, and she would have a pretty legitimate grievance. Who blinds a child, no matter how temporary?

pinkdrunkenelephants, (edited )

Blinding stew isn’t actually real. It’s the fact that people apparently would use it wholeheartedly, on children, that’s horrific.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Either you’re doing a good job of playing along or I am actually hearing about something legitimately worse than the abuse I suffered as a child. I don’t know whether to give you kudos or sympathy.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Because he lost his joy at some point in his life and Disney adults remind him of what he lost, which angers him

God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story (comicbook.com)

Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the...

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Ehh, h’s not wrong. If this David Jaffe guy is a pro-revenge type, of course he has the right to be unhappy: the writers for the new games blatantly said in interviews they completely changed the story around to oppose revenge, completely against the wishes of this Jaffe fellow apparently. Which is ironically a vengeful act.

People don’t have the right to just change stories to suit their personal opinions and the new writers need to learn to respect that.

Lest the writers after that change it back to a pro-revenge story with depth and good writing just to spite them.

Blatant anti-revenge stories are bland, predictable, preachy and uninteresting.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

I’m confused, is everyone upset the new games have more depth or are they upset the new games oppose revenge?

Anti-revenge stories are blatantly shallow, preachy propaganda pieces that seek to fulfill a political agenda.

Pro-revenge stories absolutely can and often do have depth and well-written characters.

So let’s stop conflating the two.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

They don’t, because they’re not the original writers and stories are art, not corporate marketing products.

You don’t have the right to do whatever you want simply because you like it.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

No, you don’t.

You can certainly write fanfiction and create fanart all you want to. People have done it for thousands of years. But it’ll never be the original story no matter how much you want it to be.

You are not the original creator of the franchise. Grow up and get over it.

Getting mad at me for telling you the truth won’t change that fact, and it won’t make Jaffe any less correct in his complaint that the writers deliberately destroyed his creation and his original intent. Because they did, and they admitted they did it because they didn’t want a pro revenge story in media.

Go look up the interviews with the recent GoW writers. Go actually do some research instead of throwing a temper tantrum here because I won’t let you do what you want.

Objective reality is a thing whether you want it to be or not. You don’t get to decide what the truth is.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

When your dumbass looked at me telling you you can’t just do whatever you want, and you responded, “Actually yes, I can”. Like a fucking child.

When you devolve into insults instead of responding with anything substantive because you know I am right and you are wrong.

And when deep down inside you felt the pit in your heart grow like a fucking maw when confronted with the fact that reality exists independently of your whim and whimsy.

Now you don’t get a say in what is canon and what is not. Only original creators can do that. Other people’s works are derivatives at best. That’s the reality you have to learn to accept because reality won’t change simply because you don’t like it.

Now when you grow up and actually become an adult, we can continue this conversation. I am not gonna waste any more time arguing with a child.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

So in that killer’s mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔

pinkdrunkenelephants,

I get that what he’s trying to do, it’s just his actions are self-defeating. The only reason the behavior on social media has violent consequences is because he’s imposing them; no one else in that story is killing people based on meaningless Facebook polls. They only matter because he makes them matter. He causes the problems he thinks he is solving.

Also he assumes his actions will make people reconsider their choices and change, which they won’t because people for the most part aren’t capable of change. Most people don’t have the ability to do so. Those who do deliberately refuse to because they’re happy the way they are regardless of their true nature’s consequences to other people.

It’s just a stupid gimmicky show pretending to be deep to get views. That’s all.
