Every time new drama about Courtney comes up I'm like "Damn, Courtney's an abusive, sexually predatory groomer who spews false rape accusations at anyone who crosses her? Shame nobody warned everyone about her when she first showed up."

What eating laundry soap does to a person

Why, gonna rig more cars to explode?

Sounds good to me

Nothing says 'tis the Season like social media users quote dunking on pleas for people to seek help during an emotionally brutal season. Heads up: detached irony is out. Being snarky to strangers doesn't make you look cool; It makes you look like just another asshole and we are full up on those.

Huh. I wonder why three different people tried to kill this bitch.

I sympathize. I also want to destroy human kingdoms. Not letting Zaela blow up Stormwind was a mistake.

"How do I make the same returns with this new policy?" You don't. You will make less, and you will like it.

Nazi organization doing Nazi shit.

Goodness, what's the world coming to when politicians have families? Who experience things? Seriously CNN fuck off

At the very least, after years of pressuring critics to give their faves automatic high scores, it’s a bit rich to get angry at one for doing exactly that. Yes this is about Pokémon.

I shouldn’t *know* the scores of certain games before reviews are even out, but there’s an enforced belief that some series/studios are so inherently good they deserve automatic praise. Deviation isn’t tolerated, it’s violently mobbed. Going with such a strong flow is easy.

I don’t blame any critic who pulls a few punches to avoid the mob. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t happen - it’s a trivial thing to do compared to threats from unhinged people. It’s what fans want. They literally attack critics for not pandering to them, not *anticipating* their uniform standards.

I’ve faced some truly disgusting harassment over my reviews. Cyberpunk zealots tried to trigger an epileptic episode in one critic for a single complaint. Another got tons of hate for giving GTAV a nearly perfect score just because she had a few caveats. A chilling effect is the desired outcome.

I hope fandoms know that when they’re mad at a review for rating a contentious entry too highly, they’re partly responsible. When you’ve spent years getting mad over less than perfect scores, you help condition the attitude that certain series inherently deserve high baselines. You wanted this.

The Leftist version of this relies on the idea that working class and rural Republican voters do so because the Dems won't bring in a welfare state or full socialism. The idea that no-one would actually vote for cruelty or fascism "if shitlibs weren't so useless/complicit" is unshakeable

Extremely online leftists are upset that posting isn't actually doing anything and that their wine moms are.

Person who can't be bothered to do any activism tells people they're not doing activism right.

In my experience, "controlled opposition" is something that people call opposition that they resent or distrust because they are not the ones in control of it. Nevermind that "no kings" IS in fact a demand (so is "abolish ICE!") A "party" this large is ALWAYS innately asking for something: To exist

I have never seen a better visual metaphor for the current political climate.

Nature is healing

Entire world calls for Trump to fucking die

Looking back over my Hollow Knight stream I wonder how much it would break the brains of the stalkers if they ever engaged with my work honestly. Because me growling with frustration at one boss, and then being excited and joyful at a boss 3x as hard would be confusing to someone without a brain.

You're not fucked, you're just a coward

Even if you didn't already know that was a lie, why would he tell you that if that were the case?

Let the government shut down. If you cave, he'll just keep threatening it every time he wants to open a new gulag.

Yeah, but Stalin was the bad guy in their textbooks when they were teenagers and they don't have a REAL ideology so much as a reactionary "F--- you!" to whatever mommy told them, ergo "Stalin" must mean "good" - you can't actually expect them to READ 🙄

It's deeply weird to hear a grown woman use the phrase "cringe" as a pejorative and feel genuinely aggrieved by it rather than doing something more sensible like... Laughing.

"When you adjust for inflation, this is actually cheaper than it used to be." Well when you account for the fact that wages don't inflate the way prices do, you're actually an idiot.

Said another way, Twitter is a headspace for people whose conception of "The worst authority figure possible!" is the teacher who wouldn't treat them special or their own middle-class 'liberal' mothers; which codes handily to EVERY Trumpsucker but also the stupidest versions of "leftists."

Now the rich want your child's art gallery

Idea: Standard fantasy setting, but the humans are still at the caveman stage and treated the same way you'd treat a Gibberling.

*Opens WPlace* Someone drew Kirby on my house

Fun fact: You can sing the product list from Hardware Store to the tune of One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater.

Well... that's not the WORST idea I've ever seen. Letting viewers actually boost discoverability takes some power back to the viewer. I'm glad you can only boost, and there's no "downvote" equivalent.

Well now I have a sleep paralysis demon.

Reminder: they did NOT pay the reward for Luigi.
