Between the steam player stats and the state of twitch streaming I can only assume one thing: The modern westoid has become so desperate for human contact that it has entered a state of delusion. The westoid could previously fulfill social needs through healthy avenues. These would be traditional socialization (bar, park, school, work, etc) or digital socialization (discord, irc, video game, etc). No longer.
I have theories about causes. One is that the advent of the chatbot has deluded people into unrealistic standards. I think the mechanism is fairly easy. McDonald's wagie come home, Mcdonald's wagie ask chatbot "sifu am I normal?" SifuGPT say yes, Macdonald wagie never grow. This is the most obvious cause, since as stupid people who have no ideas use ChatGPT for feedback it puts them in a sort of echo chamber. Yes-man tells you yes, you start to feel good, you no longer look for validation or affirmation elsewhere.
Another potential cause is the X botfarm. Previously this website had extremely few bots when compared to youtube, tiktok, instagram. But for the last 2 years it's basically been bot city. This drove people who had convalesced in normiesphere to broaden their horizons. Predictably this has not been good, as normal people find out that their souls are rotten and real people want nothing to do with them. That, I believe, has led to a significant contraction in social outgoingness and a distance from - not the social contract, per se, but a willingness to initiate the social contract at all.
Possibly the most severe cause would be the lack of media. Legacy media formats and producers have been outsourcing the formation of culture to algorithmic slopfarming, usually at the hands of foreigners. This makes it so the normie can't actually talk to people. Think about how many decades the average American could get by simply through watching SNL, the news, and any given talk show (just pick one, it doesn't matter). Now think about what their options are. That seems pretty grim, doesn't it?
This is all culminating in a culture of people who just simply want to "people watch," only instead of "people watching" in the vaguely pedophilic Woody Allen sense of objectifying and observing human beings like you're in a zoo, it has become an act of longing desperation. Now the normie clings to any vaguely human-shaped noise maker that can make them feel like they're having a social need fulfilled. In a sense the normie has gone from the objectifying zoo-spectator class to becoming the zoo animal. Sitting inside a cage all day, waging for burgerbux, they claw and paw at the confines of their encasement for an enrichment object.
The popularization of GTA V RP streaming, the reinvention of the IRL streamer, the glorified podcaster in the IRL stream, the recoil into the familiar of League of Legends and Minecraft, and the fearfully and tentatively engaged Tarkov. These are the remnants of the spectator class. What doesn't exist here exists in gradient degrees of parasociality and vain attempts at self-servicing antisociality. The westoid internet social complex has been slain by the culminating factors of a complete cultural collapse.
I am not saying that Hideaki Anno's fleshusk is desouled and lobotomized yet. Honestly what I am saying is that that's the problem: We need to desoul and lobotomize Hideaki Anno's fleshusk.
I have no idea what terrible fucking algorithm this is but unless this retard is considering "the desouled, lobotomized husk of Hideaki Anno's flesh" to be Eva merchandise then no, I can't.
If you put me in a room with Mao, Stalin, Hitler and Andrew Jackson I would be able to defeat all of them barehanded and much more successfully weaponize their individual killing machines. I simply choose not to do it now because I find the whole thing "icky," so to speak.
Bodes incredibly ill for the next few years of anime and its respective new generation of pretenders. Uh oh! We're killing your industry, from the inside, with its own homegrown cancer!
I don't mean this to sound like I am "glorifying" the third reich or that I am vain by any means. However, I could've killed way more people than Hitler. You would not find a populated metropolitan area if it was me in charge. That's all.
i always lived life in a way that was sincere no matter if i got external validation for it or not. things i held dear i kept quiet and it was okay because i knew i truly held them dear so i didnt need anyone to tell me if it was correct or not. i held onto what i personally learned and felt and i never stopped, no matter the amount of opposition other people tried to put up to my happiness. there were periods of time i had to be alone due to this, but i could quickly bounce back and it ended up being a great benefit those people were to leave me alone.
retrospectively the path i chose to outsiders may seem very difficult, but it was extremely easy. i never had strife, i always went by my own internal compass so i knew everything i did was correct. i just had to keep following the same path i had followed my entire life, the one where i felt things earnestly.
I do not "LARP" I go to defcon with my friends and we all pretend to have skills and connections that we don't have. This is fundamentally different from LARPing due to the intense desire to rape and kill that I feel the entire time. It'd be wise to remember this.
The hardest part about hiring great leaders for X is that you need someone who can be an outstanding voice on the platform -- but also someone who is exceptional at trench warfare (i.e., sweating the details of the user experience and handling the daily chaos & creativity of bad actors).
They are inventing a 400lb Trans Woman by the name of Mama who only refers to herself in the third person. You are obligated to give Mama what she requires to be content. If you don't Mama will become quite mad, and there's no telling what she might do. Be careful.
They had to lock me out of my account for the 95th day in a row in order to let me post this stupid fucking picture I hate my life I hate this website I hate Nikita even though he doesn't work here anymore. All I am asking is for the torture and tribulations to stop for one day.
If you're dating a woman and she acts really annoying but somehow you are NOT in a country where domestic violence is an option (or mandatory), you should just dress them up to look like shit instead. Fuck up their hair. Whatever, just do it.
I am obligated to silence about gamergate because not taking a side during it bound my arms and legs in a physical vow of silence. If I begin typing about the mechanisms of gamergate the bindings get tighter, eventually I split in half and die. Sorry!
Regarding the question of whether or not I regret acting antisocially the answer is unequivocally: NO. Society has been terrorizing me with unjust demands and expectations. As an American I feel obligated to never negotiate with terrorists, so I will be continuing forever.
