The 'Explain The Appeal Of......' Thread

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Ahh. Yes. That was a thing. Because I was watching my roommate watch cringe compilations of similar people acting in similar ways.

So those people in denial asking "Is there really ANYONE that gets triggered/acts crazy over nothing? Since I've never done research and clearly am already one of those people, where is all this evidence?" kind of people. Where I should just show them the massive piles of it saved and kept forever by the internet. >.<

Saw this clip last night and I gave up on life. again 4:28-4:54

To save you the headache, is a person literally bawling like a fucking baby over their significant other attempting to feed them a single bite of a vegetable and needing to be coddled for merely putting it NEAR them. These are the people I'm almost positive I argue with over the internet. :I

@Ammokkx Not my first shit show. ;D Thing about drama, is it never dies. ;D But mentioning something, about someone else not moving on for an event that happened "a year ago", but somehow also was mentioned days ago/recently. (then mean days ago/"recently" from a year past. Which is a oxymoron.) May also not exactly fit with the definition of that word either. ;)

I guess if you take anything away from it. Maybe send a pm with the next person you have a spat with, so that you and that yugioh person can resolve those issues as quickly as possible like adults should solve their problems. Since you don't wish to come off as petty. Personal advice from a fellow forum member both talking about unrelated incidents. :3

Sure, I'd be interested in this. If there's a empty spot. And I'd also be perfectly okay to play the anti-hero/villain type. If you'd want a person to stir up trouble. :P

Do you know what 'reconnaissance' means?

<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>
huh? I wasn't correcting anyone, just sharing a fun fact. lol

@Doivid

Fair enough then. xP

Well, I didn't realize bitchfest got locked. Guess I'll do my venting here, then:

I dislike when people, under the guise of discussion, try to draw all the attention to them and throw a pity party, especially if the issue didn't happen all that long ago.

But hell, you can't criticize these people. Either they demonize you, deflect it, ignore it or downright twist your words to say something you didn't.

And you know the worst part? Those people refuse to move on and let it go- lest by some miracle a year passes and they have a change of heart. But they message you for a couple of days after the fact, bugging you, or publicly ranting. And when they disguise it under the pretense of addressing and critiquing everyone they're fucking petty, and so am I for even bothering to vent about it.

@Ammokkx

There's nothing wrong with venting about problems. It's always better to let go of frustrations than to hold it in and possibly explode when you wouldn't want to. The thread was closed because of people were bullying forum members through passive aggressive actions. And people didn't want that on the forum.

When you say move on...shouldn't that mean "can be nice or civil" to someone who treated you poorly instead of acting rude to them? I mean that's how it works in real life right? Fight with a friend over something dumb, you make up and share about your days a few hours later? I've done that with my roommate and high school friend for 5-6 years in a row.

Sure, I'm fully aware what everyone is talking about. But I seriously/easily can get over something in less than a hour. Others can to. So no guise needed here.

Somebody who fought with me, asks a separate question. I can give them a separate answer without needing to pout in a corner or take shots at them from afar. Are we arguing a person can't/shouldn't do that? I guess maybe you can call that person naive for assuming that person you fought with -wants or cares- to have friendly discussion with you, but that's also not entirely one person's fault. But I don't see why you can't argue about something and in the very next breath find common ground.

If it takes a year for you to think someone can change their opinion, it really doesn't. But even if you can't change yourself completely. You can both acknowledge your mistakes and at least try to be a better person as a result. Ignoring a problem if it's still there doesn't actually magically make it disappear.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for being unaware about something that I will pretend to know due to crippling fear of being left out which is why I desperately seek out validation by agreeing with the majority. I know. :I

People who can't drop shit even though everyone else has moved on. ><!!!

@Lady Amalthea

@Lady Amalthea Doesn't sound like a roleplaying problem. Not dropping those is usually considered a good thing. :P

I guess that could also be about following trends but I'll guess not. As a social argument, that can become a problem itself.

Sure, not holding grudges is usually a good thing. So say, despite having an argument with someone, you can still the very next day or maybe within the very next breath, talk to them about a different topic. Without making it personal or assume that person is trying to act malicious, merely for having previous bouts. Sort of a "everyone has a bad day rule." I mean even friends and family fight once in a while right? And you still love and like them in some capacity, so it's beneficial for social interaction if you can still be social to complete strangers.

I know a lot of online places in particular, take 'one disagreement and I'll shut you out of my life forever occurs a lot.' Which is quite unhealthy if that's something they follow in real life. But that person, talking to you again, usually doesn't mean they secretly hate you. Only means they've actually gotten over what had happened and moved on. Ignoring someone or believing civil discussion can't take place with people you disagree with, has a numerous amount of problems.

But one still has to be careful with that argumentation, because it's possible to be abused. Similar to "this kid bullies another kid because of ____" whatever that excuse is and whether credible or not. It's just justification for something bad you've done. People in general like to justify their bad decisions, everyone does it. Also I'd argue one's that start fights tend to also use the "well I'm cool, so why can't you be?" argument, usually when lacking empathy or understanding how human emotions work.

The aggressor is already in a bad mood and needs something to take it out on. Some use themselves, some use objects or addictions. Others use others. That aggressor is now attacking the defender. The defender may be in a bad mood, or a good one. Doesn't matter. But this person probably does one of former and not the later. (aka uses anything but others to remove their bad mood.) So, while the aggressor is actually fighting to improve their state of misery. The defender is only getting negative effects of the fight. (unless their a masochist. In that case it's fantastic.) So the aggressor can much easier let go of their interaction, because it was made to ease their stress. The defender does not reap the same benefits.

Just two cents on that. :3
