Just for future reference, when I say I love Unohana, that she's my type. I'm talking about this version of her:

Pretty sure they’ll just say, “I can lift that much at the gym easily.”

They’re not going to understand the toll of carrying that much weight around every single day, how it can constantly strain your back, gradually make things worse, and make something as simple as walking around more difficult.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

But that would make you.. Let me check my notes.

"A bigoted, transphobic, homophobic, capitilistic nazi who endorses slavery and the supremacy of white people, you Ku Klux Klan cracker."

"And that means you're bad, which makes anything I do to you fair play, because that's how I feel it should work."

God.. I just want to get back to a semblance of normalcy, and not allow the mental asylum patients to roam free.

@darlingstrawbie Marriage is a form of patriarchial slavery, strawb.

Get that sixteenth-century mindset out of here.

@Asmongold @escapefrommelos People take these things too literally, instead of seeing what they are. Engagement farms for clout and profit.

@escapefrommelos "A video not for me is one that shouldn't exist."

The internet is going to have things you agree with and things you disagree with, as it should.

An echo chamber only hinders one's development when the concept of an opposing position is met with shaming rather than discussion.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

I'd imagine it's the same way when women are nice to men and other women call them a "pick-me."

It's the projection of their own insecurities and past experiences. A guy is genuinely nice to a woman, treats her with respect, goes out of his way to help her, or simply shows an interest in her, and suddenly he's a simp. Maybe that person remembers doing the same thing for a woman they liked, only to get used, rejected, or taken for granted, so now they project that experience onto every guy who does the same thing.

Same thing with a woman being genuinely kind or affectionate toward a guy and getting tossed aside, cheated on, or treated like she was disposable. She sees another woman being nice to a man and assumes she's being naïve, desperate, or seeking validation because that's how she now interprets that kind of behavior through the lens of her own experience.

It ultimately comes down to insecurity and projection.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

@mehezal Absolutely agree.

Unfortunately, this is the internet, and people don't like nuance. It's one side or the other; no centrist views here, you fence-sitter.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

Yes, but most people aren't smart.

They see a post that includes the sentiment of hating all men and take it at face value, looking at it from a broad perspective.

They're incapable of reading between the lines and understanding that it's just in regard to assholes, pieces of shit, and the scum of the earth. Not all guys. But that means being literate, having some semblance of skill to pick up on social cues, and understanding where someone else might be coming from.

And people forget that a good portion of the populace on the internet is just airing out their feelings, whether they're having a good day or a bad day. They're not necessarily trying to make some grand statement or have some deep discussion about the wrongs of men. Sometimes people just want to bitch, and people need to stop reading so much into it beyond recognizing that someone is simply venting.

It's easier to just assume the worst in someone and dogpile on them than it is to try to understand them.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

@Sweatylilkoi So a tomboy?

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

@ggclx_ Showing interest in my hobbies, and allowing me to rant about them, even if she couldn't give two shits about them.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

As bad as it seems, we have to take into account that this is the era of social media and the internet.

Everything is broadcast to the public because people crave attention and validation for their bad behavior rather than taking accountability for it.

And akin to reality TV shows, people, whether they’d admit it or not, love and yearn for drama. They like seeing the worst parts of humanity because it makes them feel better about themselves. Rather than looking toward the moments that define humanity as innovators and creators, we seem increasingly drawn to the moments that show us at our worst.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

@sjetavt It has, it's called masochism.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

That's the thing, though. They don't want to share a world with people who disagree with them.

They want a bubble that continually reinforces their own beliefs, ideas, and opinions. Any attempt to challenge or move outside that bubble gets dismissed with labels like misogynist, nazi, grifter, larper, right-wing, incel, and so on.

At that point, being right isn't really the objective. It's about feeling right. What makes them feel good or morally justified in the moment matters more than whether the consequences of those beliefs actually produce anything positive in the long term.

And that's why you so often see insults thrown around instead of sources, evidence, or even a coherent reason for why they believe what they believe. The argument becomes emotional rather than substantive. They're not necessarily trying to understand the other person's position. They're trying to impose their own emotional interpretation of an issue onto everyone else.

And when you refuse to participate on those terms, when you try to have a rational conversation, ask for evidence, or simply disagree, they can interpret that disagreement as something much more hostile than it actually is. The idea that "words are violence" can then become a justification for treating ordinary disagreement as an attack that warrants an aggressive response.

You can see that same mentality play out in the spaces they've built online. Reddit is a good example. A lot of communities have become echo chambers where disagreement isn't treated as an opportunity to discuss or challenge ideas, but as something that needs to be downvoted, dismissed, or driven out. Depending on the community, even mildly centrist or right-leaning opinions can get you buried or pushed out entirely.

And that's where I think the broader issue comes in. They don't just want to exist in their own bubble. They want to shape the rest of the internet around that same bubble, where dissent is treated as something inherently hostile and where controlling the narrative becomes more important than actually changing minds.

And that's ultimately what it comes down to. They're less concerned with actually being good than with being seen as good, less concerned with understanding than with being affirmed, and less concerned with changing anything than with maintaining the belief that they're on the right side of it. Once that's the priority, anyone who challenges the narrative isn't someone to understand or debate. They're someone to silence, dismiss, or vilify.

And all that to say: leave video games the fuck alone.

@KirscheVerstahl Ones a brain washed cult.

The other is infected with scum.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

She isn't.

She took advantage of the guys being intoxicated and chose to engage in a fantasy.

The guys did the same thing, took advantage of her being intoxicated and indulging in the depravity.

I get you're hung on my phrasing and emotions stir, but understand. Everyone involved is gross and guilty.

[Zyolus @Zyolus]

@MulgoreJT @Awk20000 Stop getting hung up on who's more guilty, who's the baddest actor here

They're all gross and guilty.

Look at the story, realize everyone involved is stupid. And then be grateful you're nowhere near as retarded as they are.
