If it's just them even on autopilot is it just a personality trait or is it still a gimmick?

Honestly, it depends from case to case. There really isn't one answer to fit all.

Gimmick doesn't mean anything.

I literally lost count of how many "gimmicks" users here have claimed I have and half of the are contradictory to each other.

Gimmick is an incredibly lazy insult that bypasses the flaming rule and just means "The latest thing someone who doesn't like you saw you do."

That's why half the time if you ask someone what the gimmick is of the guy they are calling a gimmick, they have no answer

Very true. But let's exclude the insult form of it for this conversation. Im talking when people use it as literal as they know how.

If a gimmick is used long enough, it would become automatic.

Well I never actually intended anything with my username and have no real gimmick but I did end up becoming fond of atomic bomb footage and nuclear technologies so I can say gimmicks can simply sprout from nowhere.

I don't get it either.

I feel like "gimmick" implies someone's putting on an act rather than being their genuine self, which is why I get annoyed when someone refers to my genuine personality traits as a gimmick.

I do that to myself cause I wanted to beat other to the punch >_>. It also doubles over as a scape goat for my incompetence. Make it work for you :3

One thing I've never understood on this board is how someone accuses users of being a 'gimmick' but then continues to fall hook line and sinker for their trolling and trying engaging in debates with them anyway

You can even tag them to remind you of their gimmick. Sometimes I respond to people and then notice my tag tho

First a user takes a gimmick, then the gimmick takes a gimmick, then the gimmick takes the user.

I would say yes.

Like UR, people accuse me of the same thing. But it makes no sense because I am all over the place. I can be serious, thoughtful, sarcastic, pessimistic, angry, humorous, or anything else when I post.

Complete_Idi0t on the othet hand, now that's a gimmick.


Word. Even I put you in a box at one point. Once I paid attention it seemed you actually were serious about the shit I don't agree with >_>. Which is fine

What did we disagree about?


My mind doesn't hold onto information like that. I just remember that stuff happened lol. Ill let you know when I see it tho. Don't you have extreme political views on certain things? That might be it

There would be no trolls/gimmick users without enablers. Its something I even have to remind myself with trying to decide whether or not to respond to shit posts. Im not always making the right decision though.

My social and political views are complicated. I actually can understand any philosophy. Personally I just want everyone else and the government off my back. I believe free people are 1000 times more capable than government at problem solving.

But there have been times where I have been aggressive and over the top because I was in a bad mood. I try to get better at that all the time because I don't want to make people mad.


That's respectable. I think we're polar opposites searching for the same balance. Cause getting older I had to teach myself to be more opinionated and outspoken at risk of being less liked. Id never lie to be liked but Id definitely withhold like crazy.
