“Why deal with people like me?” is quite a fucking angle.
I comment on this topic because it’s important, dammit. Venting about it is not making things worse for me.
I deal with people like you because you fucking asked. How irrational! Apparently.
I’d love to have more constructive discussions on this. There’s a wide variety of sensible ways the conversation could go. But for some god-damn reason, I mostly attract the same “juuuust” nonsense over and over, even when it is explicitly dealt with in the comment you’re rolling your eyes at.
I absolutely should not have to educate every Lemmy user, individually, on why this business model is a scam, and how it threatens gaming as a whole. But if I have to - I will.
If you’re taking what I’m saying as an insult deserving a rulebreak, I think you need to take a break. I’m just a commenter on a website.
“Wow you actually believe your criticisms of me? Calm down, honey. I’m juuuuuuust the reductionist definition of the only thing that could break the rules about commenting on a website.”
Dude, everyone knows it’s a scam. It’s literally gambling, which is a scam.
Your energy is way too high.
You aren’t an educator.
I’m not obligated to to digest the entire scope of the industry in any comment or reply I make, same as you. So my addressing one small facet of one comment on one thread is it. That’s the end of the scope.
This is not an academic, or formal space. You aren’t on the clock.
You’re clearly very angry and you’re obviously just putting that anger on me. Do what ya gotta do, again, none of this matters.
Your one small facet is the same denialist horseshit I get with complete sincerity, over and over and over.
Do you feel one iota of responsibility for the escalating vitriol in response to the things you write? If not, why the fuck not? I’m not making shit up and getting mad about it. I am directly addressing the words that come out of your keyboard. They started awful. They got worse. Maybe you should fix that. I’m not sure what the hell you expect in response, if “here’s why you should stop doing this shit” leaves you performatively tutting.
You’re clearly very angry and you’re obviously just putting that anger on me.
“You’re juuuuuuuuuuuuuust angry” is trolling. Fuck right off with that behavior. I haven’t said shit about your internal emotional state, and for once, I’m not even picking apart the abusive aspect of you doing that to me. But if you’re just going to dismiss the entire conversation by attributing it to that deep dissatisfaction, like reaching a conclusion is proof of unreasonable motivation, why are you on this website at all? Why ever comment? You could have more fun making it up in your head, and by the sound of things, having fun is all you think these words on a screen are for.
Lol take a break dude. I’ve tried to offer us both outs until now, clearly we aren’t speaking the same language. You are comically angry and none of it is working on me. Cya!
Edit I’m not trolling, I’m responding to someone being openly hostile to me.
This sort of abuse is far worse than any televisable insult that’d violate rule 1.
You responded to an impersonal condemnation of abusive businesses with “just don’t buy it!” like a thousand other people before you. I highlighted how that’s exactly the shit addressed in the comment you were responding to, where you should have seen it, the first time. You immediately dragged this out to be about me, and how butthurt I must be to keep having this exchange… with your derailing bullshit. Which you’re somehow not responsible for.
Hey buddy? Sometimes when people are unhappy with you, it is entirely your fault.
“You’re being unreasonable! I’ve done nothing wrong ever.”
“Here is exactly what you did wrong and why it’s wrong and how calling bullshit is entirely appropriate.”
“… But why’d you call bullshit? So unreasonable!”
Now parrot the dismissive phrase you think is a clever wind-up and not an admission of fault. Maybe sir would prefer a bucktooth-and-glasses emoji? I’m told it’s popular with the youths.
Like dude you are so certain, and express yourself with such clarify. I’m saying it’s all there, why are you wasting time on this.
Edit “Why do this to yourself” refers to THIS exchange. Why comment on these threads or on this topic? It clearly brings you no joy.
You have a lot of anger on this it seems like you’re ready.
