Its also unhealthy to be so negative all the time. Little to no actual positive comments people like this make.

Unlike regular people who say positive things when its warranted or react negatively when its needed

It feels weirdly robotic the unhealthy vitriol here. You cant criticize the other extreme (the toxic positivity) if you wind up being the other extreme either.

Yeah, I would, if I knew when their birthday was. Maybe it's cultural, but from where I hail, wishing strangers a happy birthday is a normal thing to do.

But in this game its "normalized" because as I just said they have this weird imaginary relationship with Yoshi P, and it actually is unhealthy, yes.

---

have you seen any interviews with Ion? he is a cold hearted douche and I doubt even his mother wishes him happy birthday. he designed a decent dungeon, but aside from that, he has an elitist attitude and ruined the direction of WoW. I can see why you like him.

have you been able to figure out how to make the posts not even show up as blocked? ublock maybe? Or do you just deal with the scads of blank posts?

Nah it'll still say blocked so yeah I'll sometimes have a chain of blocked messages cause they tend to quote each other but when I see one with real words is when I know it's something that is worth reading and maybe even worth responding to.

I wish I could and Would just do this...but Id be lying if I said I didnt enjoy the Unhinged Lunacy sometimes.
Helps not to take things TOO seriously, even if I might get heated in a moment or 2...but I can laugh at it later.
Putting People on Ignore would make this place Miserable, AND Dull.

Same. I dont celebrate mine, but I always enjoy saying "Happy Birthday" to someone if I know their Birthday.
And I enjoy hearing it to, much more then receiving a Gift.

Oh Shucks, I forgot to wish our Boy a Happy Birthday as well!! <3

You're mostly wrong, but you are right in that I did forget to wish Yoshi P a happy birthday. Happy birthday Yoshi!

They wanted something to get mad over. I've been getting a bit hyped for FFXVI after some of the more recent stuff the marketing team has put out. Guess I'm not allowed to.

Not really, no. He's not some random off the street, and I don't say that in a parasocial or celebrity worship way either.

Okay, i got bored and started messing around with ublock origin:

put this in your 'my filter' section of the ublock origin dashboard:

! 2023-05-02 https://forum.square-enix.com
forum.square-enix.com##li>:has-text(username-here)

No promises if it works for all cases.

Oh there is plenty of unhinged to be seen without the usual suspects. Like...still chaotic but not the same chaotic over and over you just know is coming when you see certain names pop up.

Now the chaos is like a box of chocolates and I am all for it.

But if she just called me dear I would find that creepy.

But how do you know how these people will interact with others in their everyday life?? You don't. However saying happy birthday to someone that created something you enjoy thoroughly as a hobby isn't uncommon or unusual but trying to relate that to how people interact with each other when you have no idea how anybody on this form interacts with another person is kinda weird.
