#reddit is bad sometimes

[spurgie-cousin]

Every time I go to engage with the BUB sub it's just a bunch of mom-shaming nit picky assholes looking for things to complain about, esp in regards to Carlin.

To be fair the majority of comments were moms being like "this is fine and y'all are being stupid" but I truly can't describe the rage those self righteous assholes give me. They really think they know what's better for this child than her literal mother 🙃🙃🙃

like on the one hand language matters and i too sometimes find slang trends annoying and/or concerning and on the other hand sometimes women do actually make jokes and talk shit on the internet with their friends and it is not actually that deep and commentary on phenomena gets to a weird point where i’m like i don’t know how “these idiot losers on the internet using a two to four word phrase they will have moved on from in a year are basically the primary cause of patriarchal oppression” is the feminist take. like sometimes i start to think the plot has been lost.

might sound weird to say as a person with a couple ocs who have Big Horrible Event(s) in their backstories or as a person who has like 3 ocs total bc he sucks at writing and as a person who hopes their ocs arent too Boring with [the thing im about to mention] but the thing about writing [characters] and [people] is that like.

any little thing a person experiences can take up their whole existence... its actually something "fun" to experience as i meet new ppl and do more things. My friend had something happen that she'll be talking about forever. I had several things happen last year that ill never stop talking about, some of which other ppl think werent that bad actually. In the same way I'll forever remember about the way my sister accidentally insulted me almost 10 years ago, it's really interesting and Fun to find and assign smaller things like that to characters...its really Real. some people's dealbreakers are other people's solvable problems etc etc

It’s funny that there’s this hugely vocal wave of negativity about the Borderlands Movie from people who haven’t actually seen it. and then when you talk to people who Did go out and see the movie they’re largely like “Yeah it was ok 🤷”

not people complaining about they/them pronouns in a thread about the new ES

[alexmey-does-an-arts]

decided to go onto r/doctorwho to see what people thought of dot and bubble... mistake. the opinions on there are usually bad but like it was so much worse 😭

You know I didn't read this run but this feels bad.

Hope good Americans are here to save us ☺️

the person that put lengthy ashiya douman meta in the comments of a sprite comic on reddit genuinely changed my perspective on them for the better and I'm very thankful for that person and their meta as a result

hey trans women correct me if im wrong but i get the feeling that despite terfs just...saying whatever will make transfems sound the most disgusting in that exact moment that it is, in fact, generally a sign that something is wrong if a bottom surgery vagina smells noticeably bad. much like bio vaginas

To replace my twitter doomscrolling I’ve turned to Reddit unfortunately I think certain people there need to explode a little bit and I think Reddit is making me a bit miserable too

Some players are so funny to me.

"I did this bad thing and now the game is telling me it's bad! Why am I not being rewarded for this! The devs are really pushing the 'good' ending. Why is there no moral grey zone! Sometimes being a good person is bad for you and being bad is rewarding! Why is there no good loot when I slaughter a village of farmers to encourage evil playthroughs!"

Bro if you wanna get rewarded for bad things just do bad things IRL. This is a fantasy where doing bad things might be bad. You made this bed now lie in it etc.

"Why am I being guilt-tripped for doing a bad thing!"

Do I really need to answer this for you?

I respect players who do bad shit and just roll with it. Who embrace the consequences for the experience or the fun factor. People who do it to see what the game is capable of. People who can genuinely roleplay some truly evil characters. But the whiners are always so funny to me. Oh no, did baby experience consequences? Does being evil not feel as good as you thought? Is it not quite the power fantasy you expected? Do you need people to hold your hand and tell you you're so so right for choosing the bad options?

Like, either do good shit and be praised for it in-game or do bad shit and roll with characters not liking you or dying as a consequence of your actions. You can't both RP a huge jerk and expect everyone to worship you, that's just weird, man.

Welcome to the real world, joker moment, we live in a society etc etc.

*aggressively points at a sign that says "just because mori isn't as bad as some might make him out to be - for example, saying he was abusive to dazai is entirely speculation/exaggeration and not backed by canon - doesn't mean everything people 'accuse' him of is false. he quite literally says he likes young girls multiple times and calls elise his wife. he is a pedophile. i get that you like him bc he's very interesting but that doesn't mean he is only mildly evil just for being manipulative or smth. learn to cope with the idea that characters can be complex and do awful things you don't condone even in fiction. stop erasing parts of him for the sake of your own comfort. that's boring as hell. also kind of counterintuitive to bsd as a whole imo"* (yes it is a very big sign.)

Sorry for being gone awhile. My parents installed the Verizon Smart Family App on my phone (even though I'm an adult). They only allow me to use my phone at work. Luckily they didn't think about how I could use my computer to get into my Tumblr, Discord, Reddit etc.

I'll be posting again but not as often as before. Sorry again.
