Are you a tails alt
Edit: no you couldn't be, you'd want gamefaqs to die.

Way too much karma to possibly be a Tails alt.

I don't weigh lives in terms of mathematics. If I push one button and it kills one innocent person or I push the other button and it ends all life on Earth, it's the same to me.

I don't want any innocent blood on my hands. If I have to align myself with genocide to prevent greater genocide, I'll sit back and let what happen will.

Fuck the Greater Good.
I can't make that any plainer. I will die and let the whole fucking world die before I agree to human sacrifice in the name of numbers or consequences.

You're willing to let the world die in order to maintain your moral code.

That isn't a virtue. Quite the opposite in fact.

Say you're tied up in a chair. Someone is slowly approaching you with a Chainsaw with the intention of brutally murdering you.

I'm also in the room. I have a gun and can shoot the man with the Chainsaw dead no problem.

Should I save you? Yes or no?

This isn't WTG is it? That dude had a gimmick where he kept talking about how the world would be better off if humanity went extinct.

I wish I can believe that. Every single area I have personally ever been to has nothing but aggressive, violent people. And there's nothing but violence and lack of empathy from Gen Z and Alpha kids. Their predecessors aren't much better either.

This is just the reality of things.

What two or three places in the entire world have you been to?

This is some edgelord shit right here.

Let me make it clear I don't *want* the GOP to win.

Then you have one option, and that's to vote against them.

Anything else makes your statement contradictory.

There are absolutely atrocities that our government has committed. No argument there. I'm sure the majority of Americans are also against the wars going on.

But if you don't want the GOP to win, you need to vote against them. If you intend to, sweet. We can talk about how our government needs to be better.

But if you're withdrawing your vote then... nothing you say holds relevance.

Humans are naturally violent and aggressive as a species.

But not "kill a literal puppy for no good reason" aggressive.

There's a reason we link casual animal cruelty to mental illness. We as a species to NOT see that as normal.

Guide posted...

Oh what? Man, I rarely ever use that board anymore, but it was once my internet home, and I'm still fond of a lot of people there.

Was there any fucking warning?

If it got the same treatment as the sexuality board then.

"Lolno"

Seeing as we're both caught off guard of those respective boards being shut down, I'm guessing no warning.

Fuck fandom.

Apparently a history of animal cruelty is commonly found in serial killers. Openly bragging about it probably isn't a good sign either.

GhostFaceLeaks posted...

As disgusting as it is, this is how humans normally are. It's disgusting but this is normal for what this species is.

Normal for The Joker perhaps, but most people aren't like that at all.

I was asking a sexual health question when it closed and I still don't know if what I have was concerning or not...

I saw your question. I lack the medical knowledge to answer it, but I'll second the recommendation to get that checked out.

Gamefaqs is competition, so I wouldn't be surprised if the goal was to just slowly kill the site. Why risk someone else buying it and making it actually better?

Hypothetically speaking, let's say Hitler clawed out of Hell onto Earth. He wants to continue where he left off before he did the world a favor and painted the walls with his brains.

Someone gives you a huge ass gun and tells you to shoot Demon Hitler in his bitch face.

Do you shoot him? Are you like "Fuck yeah, let's send Hitler back to Hell!"

.... or do you need more motivation? For some reason.

FortuneCookie posted...

Not to change the subject, but do you honestly believe a vote will stop fascism?

We have individuals who want to see all Asian people, Black people, gay people, Hispanic people, Jewish people, and trans people wiped out or relegated to indentured servitude. But they'll walk away if they lose the vote.

It seems a bit like saying that Hitler would have stuck to painting if he'd lost a coin toss.

Do I think a single vote will magically result in world peace? No. I do, however, believe that every vote counts and voting is an important step in stopping fascism.

There's a reason fascist try their hardest to prevent people from voting.

Even Hitler himself stated that the Nazi party would have never taken off if people had utterly opposed it from the very start.

But if people didn't have enough uh 'motivation' to do so...

I don't think any of the Holocaust victims would look fondly on the people who could have stopped it but didn't because they just didn't feel like it.

Pikachuchupika posted...

This might be honestly worse. Making it private and letting it die slowly is more torturous than simply closing it.

Screw Fandom.

It's less about me

Really? I thought you were mostly upset that people weren't approving of you not doing your civic duty.

nekrodev posted...

It's less about me, although inevitably I'm in the same position, but it annoys me to see people on here dogpiling people for having done literally nothing wrong. The much easier thing for me to do would be to put you all on ignore, but that prevents me from interacting w/ potentially okay people outside of political topics, and also removes an avenue of discussion and time wasting on slow days.

Why do you care if someone gets "dogpiled,"? Statistically the amount of people here are insignificant. The math, your math, say none of that matters.

How is it your problem then?

FortuneCookie posted...

Fandom wants GameFAQs for a tax write-off, don't they?

Probably.

They didn't even strictly want us, we were a package deal with a larger company that they also absorbed and probably wrung dry.

nekrodev posted...

I was pointing out your continued moral high ground crap,

Again, only you have brought up my alleged "moral high ground".I don't see myself better than others.

nekrodev posted...

I've stated here, and elsewhere, on numerous occasions at this point, my not participating has many reasons - including, but not limited to mathematical possibility. Your question has been answered.

"It's not likely so I won't bother." - Millions of people who don't vote but like to complain that things don't go their way.

Its fine. The consequences of a Trump victory isn't concerning enough for you. It's not your problem.

So why care if the occasional person doesn't think so highly of you? Statistically most people don't know you exist.

I can't accept a president's responsibility if I have none of their power.

You have a citizen's responsibility, and one of those responsibilities is making sure the leader you have a decision over isn't the worst.

FortuneCookie posted...

I'm no martyr. I just won't be an ally to genocide.

Oh, but unfortunately by not voting you're absolutely doing nothing to prevent the genocides to come.

Nothing was stopped by a fence sitter.

Strawman? If that's what you want to call the very words you yourself used, so be it. You're not voting against Trump, despite clearly not wanting to be associated with Trump voters.

Why not vote against him?

DuneMan posted...

But will they keep all the AI-crafted hentai ads from Fandom?

Of course they will. They're paying them. If you have a problem with that, just turn off your adblocker a-

CONGRATULATIONS

nekrodev posted...

More "if you're not with us, you're against us" rhetoric.

You're not voting against Trump because... of rhetoric?

nekrodev posted...

I don't want a reward, I want to not be called a Trumper or equated as such.

You don't want to be considered one of them, but you also don't want to vote against them?

Why?

It's not complicity so much as it's admitting you don't care if it does happen.

nekrodev posted...

Oh, no, you aren't better than me - I'm just worse than you. That's very different /s

edit: adding /s in case it isn't clear

You're the only one bringing up my morality.

I don't know what you expect from... not participating? You've declared it not your problem, so fine. Not your problem.

Stero, let me put it to you this way.

Why should anyone join your new board? What reason does anyone have for going out of their way and spending their free time there? You've not only cut and run once, but anyone on the sexuality board knows that you often have a (rather tiresome) one track mind. On a board about sexuality, you almost exclusively talked about incels.

But more to the point, what guarantee do we have that Fandom won't shut the board down? They've already closed multiple social boards without warning. Kind of hard to trust the survivability of any of them right now.

I mean, who even had trouble with the religion board?

nekrodev posted...

lmao see, none of you can do it. you have to act like you have some kind of moral high ground when you absolutely don't.

At what point did I say I was better than anyone?

I'm just pointing out that if you don't stand up against Trump, you're choosing to not be an obstacle.

STEROLIZER posted...

Yes -- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1567-adulting

Thats the board I created a while ago, when I wanted a place to go to in order to talk about issues relating to marriage, parenthood, and other mundane adult stuff. Pretty much everything the Sex board was, but without the "horny posting" which I never participated in, nor liked in the first place.

I always used the board as more of a means to discuss relationships, self improvement, and other issues regarding societal structure and so on and so forth.

The board you abandoned ages ago.

Admittedly part of that was a stalker problem, but I'm guessing at least some of it was because you grew bored and didn't want to keep looking after it. Kind of the same with your now deleted sub.

And no you didn't participate in the horny, you just talked about incels.

A lot.

Like a lot a lot.

Not voting Biden in this context is saying you see a Trump victory as an acceptable consequence.

So if he wins, don't complain when you lose human rights. You didn't care when it mattered after all.

@STEROLIZER Still believe Fandom is good for the site?

nekrodev posted...

You literally are, saying shit like "you're still part of the flood", and the general sentiment from most of the posters on these issues is consistently the same. This ENTIRE TOPIC is about it, for fucks sake.

Why do you care? I thought it wasn't your problem.

nekrodev posted...

But, it's still hilarious how you literally can't help but act like I'm actively fighting against you or something lol, when regardless of my actions, there's still a flood. And the people who COULD have done something to help with that (the politicians), haven't.

I'm not acting like that all. I know you don't care what will likely happen to me or my family if Trump wins. You'll have nothing to say should that day come.

shyguybry posted...

In that scenario, if it was as simple as saying no, of course Id stop them. I cant equate that scenario to voting because it isnt as simple as saying no. To continue with your scenario though, I have the power of a single no stopping someone from destroying loved ones

Voting IS saying NO to something. In 2020, I said NO to Trump being president again.

shyguybry posted...

there are countless of others willing to say no to stop destruction from happening.

Countless others. Until there isn't.

There were countless socialists, until they weren't. Countless trade unionists, until they weren't. Countless Jews, until they weren't.

When those people were being dragged away to the camps, how many people decided it wasn't worth the time or effort to stop it? That someone else would surely prevent things from getting out of control?

And uh, if you picked up on what I'm referring to and think "Hey, that's an extreme comparasion"!

Yes.

Because we're dealing with a man who openly wants to be a dictator, reminds Holocaust survivors of Hitler, and seems to be a friend to the neo nazis.

Seems like going to a voting booth and saying NO to all of that is a lot easier than the alternatives.

Puglia77 posted...

Good, but not because of the new rules. I love hornyposting but that board was awful.

I'm gonna be real. I legitimately do not remember ever seeing you on that board.

More to the point a lot of the conversations, ironically enough, wasn't "horny". We had a lot of mature discussions.

But Beep boop not game related.

Cemith posted...

What is 1061?

Sex and sexuality board.

Or it was. Not sure if it's just gone or if they'll be a forced rebranding.

nekrodev posted...

Okay, well, you still have to convince the rest of the flood, even if you got me, so....again, it's just a matter of math.

So, being realistic - you're not going to be able to flip the amount of people you need in solid red states, you're going to have to bring in new voters. You also need those voters to be on your side - which presumably, will probably wash out about the same as the people already voting, meaning you need to get at least HALF (in my state, the example i used) of unregistered voters to not only vote, but vote for your guy.

You're about as likely to change that as I am to convince any of you how pointless it is lmao

If you can be convinced, so can others. You say it's a matter of math, yet you don't seem to understand that math is a changing of numbers.

Will SC turn blue this election? Probably not. But if it gets closer and closer, that can eventually lead to something. Hell, SC has been blue before. If you say it's impossible you're already proven wrong.

It won't be likely or easy, but it's still possible.

But if you stay on the fence, you're contributing to the flood. Every line, every excuse, every justification you can offer has been used by every other fence sitter.

Imagine if no one brought into the "It's not my responsibility" line.

shyguybry posted...

I gotta be honest, Ive been dealing with a lot the past several years, I have no fear cuz Im not afraid to die/of death. Im a white hispanic. As Gladius has said, maybe my depression is causing me being apathetic. Maybe things will change in the near future, but if Im being real now, idc to vote. Im in a blue state (NJ), friends/family I have are all voting Biden, Im rooting for you, Im on your sidethe only thing in your eyes separating me from basically being a friend or foe is me not voting.

Depression is certainly a struggle, one I deal with as well. It can be easy to stop caring, because it's safer than being hurt. But it's ultimately just a slower, more drawn out way of hurting yourself.

Think about your loved ones for a minute. Think about the people you care about, the people who have been there for you when no one else has.

Now imagine someone wants to hurt those people. Imagine someone wanting to utterly destroy them and wielding the power to do so.

Now imagine if you had the power to stop them. Imagine if it was as simple as standing up and saying "NO" to them.

What do you do in that scenario?

ROB45 posted...

What happened to 1061?

...

What the fuck?

Yeah, Fandom must have gone after it. Because like it never was going to stop with 261, and like it was never going to stop with CE.

I'm not the leader of that board though so I have no idea what was said.

Pretty fucked up response.

They can kill me, but they'll killing someone who opposed them to the bitter end.

May as well, seeing as I'm a minority and they'd want to kill me regardless. Why not give them trouble?
