Where did this one come from? It's the most Reddit one I've seen yet, complete with gamer brain.

Like 90% of our taglines are from deranged lemmitor upset we exist lmao

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there somewhere you can see all taglines?

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, you just have to come back forever and get them all. It's supposed to be that way.

They have gaping vulnerabilities such as for instance when I look at Wikipedia for 10 seconds it disagrees with them smuglord

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Except it usually disagrees with the lib anyway. For instance, I never saw a single 'millions died in Tienanmen Square :o' lib acknowledge any of the relevant facts in Wikipedia, including that there was no massacre in the square (though it's still worded to repeatedly imply that there was).

They also pretend that the Wikipedia page for Holodomor doesn't mention the vast amounts of historians that contradict the genocide accusation and instead pretend it's universally recognized like the Holocaust to piggy back off its evidence to imply you're a genocide denier for arguing with them

I've always said this, anti-tankie radlibs are far to the right of your typical Ivy league right wing and lib academics when it comes to geopolitics and AES history, it's ridiculous

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

for your typical yankee, history is more of a vibe from which occasional Numbered Date emerges to denote beginning of a war.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is Gamer Brain really any different from Sports Brain being used to discuss business and politics?

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do sports have NPCs? I guess the fans?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Specifically those fans who suborn their entire identity to Sports Franchise and become violently upset when their team loses in the game and sulk like a 5 year old all week instead of dealing with disappointment like an adult

Someone should plug all my gaping vulnerabilities

Why did they have to say gaping

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is just like my freaking Blood Souls! soypoint-1

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Have it writ upon your meagre grave that you were PPBed by Hexbear, last of the hogs.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

I think it'll be fun to go on the offensive again one day, but the user base needs a long break from that still

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Honestly at some point we’re gonna have to limit the ones coming from lemmiverse, it’s just too easy lmao

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

Federation has been fun

By the same poster - @imaqtpie. There's a gamer with a Wikipedia page with that name. Serious question - are they the same person? Or is the shit account just a fanboy account? I don't know anything about gaming.

They’re hexbear users. Don’t even waste your time, they are prejudiced and actively hostile towards anyone who isn’t on their server. They only seek to disrupt and mock any discussion that deviates from their incredibly naive and confused perception of human civilization.

Once you’ve crossed the line and started advocating for violence and genocide, it becomes emotionally impossible to accept that you might be wrong about anything, because that would inescapably mean that you’re actually a bad person. Thus, they reflexively go on the aggressive to proactively disrupt arguments that could potentially expose the contradictions inherent to their worldview.

There’s not much that can really be done to get through to these individuals, because their defense mechanisms are incredibly well developed and supplemented by the codependent echo chamber that they have built specifically to protect themselves from the undue discomfort of ever having to contemplate the possibility that, just maybe, they don’t have all the answers.

That being said, it’s a problem that will naturally disappate as Lemmy grows. The best way to combat their toxicity for the time being is to ignore/block them, imho. More than anything else, they are trying to convince themselves and each other of their righteousness. Their actions have repeatedly demonstrated that they consider users from other servers to be inferior (frequently to the extent of being subhuman) and thus they are not worthy of serious engagement.

I do enjoy analyzing the psychology behind it though, if you couldn’t tell

Banned for not breaking the rules, but disagreeing with a mod - sh.itjust.works

The actual imaqtpie is WAY too chill to be this much of a nerd, definitely not him.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Not knowing anything - that's still what I assumed because @Eminem probably isn't actually Eminem either. If @Eminem exists.

[–] UltraGreen@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Everyone needs to read this. It's so funny I can't react. I might as well just go to bed, the day can't possibly get better than reading this.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

like a level 1 boss

Day 7: Sabotage complete. I have infiltrated the first level of Lemmy's management hierarchy. They don't suspect a thing. Proceeding with [REDACTED]

They also have gaping vulnerabilities.

It's a very good thing we aren't in Gaza and he isn't an Israel general.

Edit

What's with all the gaping and IDing the gaping? It's creepy. I just saw this Newsweek headline at reddit - Gaping Hole in Donald Trump's Defense Identified
