Random Thoughts 3: A Little Bit of This, and a Little Bit of That...

Well yeah, if you're a public figure, you're basically damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's just a fact of life in the internet age.

This definitely belongs in the category of "there are unimportant problems which I didn't know even existed" .
Sounds like a women's magazine for today's gamer (not meant sexist).
"Did you hear X streamt with Y?" - "No, really? But I thought he was married!" - "You will not belive it, but 3 weeks ago he even streamt with Z!" - "Yes, I've heard, she's such a slut. And he cannot even stay faithful to his wife. And the worst: Z has worn the same dress as last month, when she streamt from event B!"

Oh, it doesn't just sound like that, it's exactly that. Just with the addition that Twitch Drama usually comes with tons of harassment and threats that are thrown directly into the faces of the streamers and other people involved, because the professional barrier is so much lower by necessity. And that the role of yellow journalism is taken by people who are even less accountable, because they're sitting hidden behind clickbait youtube channels and social media accounts, and as a result all the more aggressive in their behavior.

PewDiePie out of all people has decided to do something against the Pink Tax. His chair now costs $399 with no extra costs because of your sex or gender.

Normal patriotic American #1: Bernie's ideas are great! Just what the country needs right now.
Normal patriotic American #2: Bernie Sanders goes a little too far.
Me: Bernie Sanders is a reactionary

won't link it

Ah yes, the "Say something dumb and then be overly vague to not be called out on it"-cop out.

Post, meet other post.

 

[Ryika]

Post, meet other post.

Not sure I understand.

Are you calling me out on providing the title of the article that can be entered into google instead of risking an infraction by posting a direct link to a page that has a ton of non-child-friendly language?

 

[Takhisis]

I might have been employing sarcasm.

 

[Ryika]

Oey. That's my slogan, you don't get to use it.

 

[Takhisis]

By that same metric I shouldn't use German and you shouldn't use English.

I can't figure out which smile reaction i like better......

[Takhisis]

I prefer the squid-girl reactions.

 

[Ryika]

By that same metric I shouldn't use German and you shouldn't use English.

You shouldn't use German, it's cultural appropriation.

English is fair game though, as Americans have no Culture.

To the first part I must pout and reply in a childish voice that ‘you promised to teach me the insults!’

To the second, I think that if they build the Trump Presidential Library GW you might be onto something.

To the first part I must pout and reply in a childish voice that ‘you promised to teach me the insults!’

I did indeed. How's your progress?

is she supposed to be a robot or something

 

[Broken_Erika]

is she supposed to be a robot or something

No, she just has no idea how to smile and is drawn as a Chibi 99.99% of the time. It's one of those shows where the writers and animators are beyond insane.
