People do weird stuff all the time. This guy on YouTube has been live streaming himself sitting and smiling for years now

That man must have a right privileged life and lots of free time on his hands to be able to do that

no need to kink shame

Each to their own really, if people get off on it

So many times when i surf through Tiktok, i get a live stream video, and its either of one person or a couple asleep in their room, and against the wall or a corner is either a person dressed up as the boogie man or a horror movie type clown, just hanging there.

First off, why is this interesting?, secondly, are we really expected to believe that you're genuinely asleep, and this horror looking intruder is not someone that you know, and that the whole thing is not staged?

certain kinds of people get mad when you criticize things they like. whether it's games, shows, etc. they take it as a personal attack and therefor escalate it and personally attack you for it. people are just really fucking dumb and attach themselves to the products and fandoms they like to the point that it becomes them, so they flip shit over complaints and won't even try to see from other points of view, even if it means they have to go full dunning-kruger over it

if i ever become like that, feel free to shoot me

saying the game is somehow bad or wrong or unfair or unreasonable because you can't figure it out is obnoxious and insulting to everyone who likes the game. you deserve to get negative reactions for that.

But............its just a video game at the end of the day........a commercialised product someone else made. Its not like im bad mouthing someones town or country for example, you know......something that some people actually take personal pride in that actually means something to them.

Id never take any offence at all over someone complaining about or bad mouthing any video game, cause its just a fricken video game.

Ok, i know the title of my thread is not very descriptive and looks rather ambiguous in meaning, but i have just noticed a manipulative rhetorical tactic some antagonistic people on online gaming message boards use, so i am not just simply talking about individual game message boards on Gamefaqs, but ones on other sites aswell.

One thing that individual gaming message boards are used for, is for when you are playing a video game, but you are stuck somewhere and you cant work out how to progress further, or you are finding a boss battle really hard to win, and you cannot find the kink in its algorithm ect. Or there is just something about the game than you think is unfair and unreasonable and you just wanna air your frustration about it. There are 2 types of responders you get on individual game message boards

1) The good faith responders.....these are the people that will respond to your thread, genuinely sympathise with you, and give you good polite constructive advice to your problem or frustration

and 2) The bad faith antagonistic responders. These are the ppl who are clearly are not interested in making constructive and helpful replies, all they wanna do is just look for opportunities to call someone thick dumb and dense, call them names, or arrogantly brag about how easy and simple they figured something out whilst putting you down for it at the same time.

With the latter, ive notice they often do this muddying the waters tactic. Once they have goaded you into a heated back and forth with them, they will muddy the waters on everything and come out and say something like "fuck me you are so arrogant and double down on your ignorance. People here are giving you the advice to your problem, but instead of accepting it, your doubling down on your ignorance and spewing winging complaints at them" WHOAAA, whoaa whoaaa whoaaa whoaaa whoaaa..............lets just step back here and really analise whats going on here. No.......the only people who i am making any kind of clap back responses to in this thread is to the rude antagonistic tits like you. Im saying nothing back at all to the good faith responders other than "thank you for your help/advice". Me going back and forth with YOU, does not equal "Me not graciously accepting the help everyone has given me. Ive read their replies and simply taken it on board, all im doing is just responding to your obvious antagonistic taunts".

Here's another thing i wanna add to that. I personally think that its just stupid petty and pointless for anyone online to get pissy and upty over a total strangers struggle or frustration with a fricken video game for petes sake!!!!, i mean seriously!!!!, how the fuck does this effect your life in anyway shape or form????, it doesnt!!!!
