Sometimes its a good thing to have "toxicity" and other negative traits

[Kacho_Nacho]

let me ask you this what is "good" in human nature hmm what is an actual useful ability to human life outside just accepting things are the way they, are with no ambition no will no desire to move beyond the life of an insect?

I'm putting myself through extreme science classes and when I get a lab one day I will follow my ambition no matter what laws I have to break to end humanity and replace it with a better race and species

Chloe, I understand what it's like to have your brain and psyche be your worst enemy. You're in a war every single day with an enemy who knows your every weakness. This post shows you're losing the fight. Step back from this plan. Nothing good will come of it.

Frankly I can’t tell if this is an elaborate trolling attempt utilising a niche subculture identity (gothy vampire fan) to bait and goad people with so-called ‘controversial’ opinions. Feels like the entire purpose of the thread is to try and cause arguments (it has done poorly tbh).

Alternatively I guess maybe severe mental illness, though it seems morally reprehensible to comment any further on such a thing.

Plus the whole ‘gothy vampire werewolf groupie with edgy dark opinions’ is not only extremely generic (first port of call for the ‘I’m not like the other people’ types lol) but it’s fairly outdated these days, Twilight was a while ago now lol

It's not a attempt at trolling. Chloe has had mental health issues for quite some time.

I'm not certain if this is an episode or if she's just had some bad experiences and needs to vent.

Don't dig at Chloe's persona. It really is what she sees herself to be and poking fun at it just sets her off.

Providing feedback and telling someone to cast damage spells as a healer or to turn on tank stance is not toxic

Absolutely agree. It's all about tone. There should be just as severe consequences for a false harassment report as there is for filing a false gil seller report.

Ok I’ll grant that poking fun at someone’s preferred aesthetic is unnecessary ‘high school bitch’ behaviour; people should be whatever they want to be (not being facetious if that’s how it comes across I genuinely mean that).

You didn't see her posting her actual address and posting pictures of her in a cage with a piece of paper with a timestamp and her name and saying "screw [forum member]" when she was arguing with someone.

I don't think it's 100% real though. Some of it is definitely made up. Just not sure what is made up and what isn't. The fact there's even a cage with a mattress inside with pillows is already weird enough that anything might be possible.

I think I’m starting to understand now. The OP has been active on ffxiv discords too it seemed? In my view it seemed like they appeared out of nowhere, made all these posts, and somehow people were acting as if they were already familiar with them which was confusing lol. Hence why I wasn’t sure if it was one of those situations where like, an old troll appears with a new account.
But since I only use the forums it makes much more sense now why it feels like others have ‘more of the story’ and actually understood what was going on.

Chloe has been on the forums with various accounts over the years. I remember most of what was mentioned and I don’t socialize on any xiv discords.

I guess one benefit of being here that long is having no real concern about most of what’s posted here anymore.

Yeah I saw one of the threads from a previous account so I’ve seen their previous stuff now too. I guess I just never interacted with them (or did and clean forgot which is entirely possible lol). But then I tend to go on/off the forums depending on how much I’m playing so maybe I just wasn’t around at the time for them.

For your last sentence do you mean like, ‘they’ve been here so long they’ve become more complacent about the content they post?’. I can understand that, I think.

Oh for that sentence it was more about myself. Seeing a topic like this or other threads designed to bait - like "add unskippable ads" etc. would in the past prompt me to want to reply. But now I am just like "oh another Chloe thread."

These people come up cyclically so I just shrug at this point as it's not worth getting really invested in. I only really replied to you in this thread as you weren't certain if it was a cyclical poster.

NOOOOOOOO chloe NOOOOOOO come back

I don't know, if you were to use not melding or eating food for high end content where this actually matters I'd probably agree, but a lot of casual content can be soloed by a healer or tank. I think too many people take casual content to seriously. If someone is bad at the game they're bad, I mean I can admit I suck at the game and I run harder content. In my opinion, don't take casual content too seriously, and just be prepared when you do high end content.

The OP opinion summarised: Bring back community discipline which is a huge problem IRL too right now. Too much cotton wool flying around. Discipline is natural teaching whether you be human or animal and the lack of it has created bubbles for people to hide in and they cannot cope with anything outside of that.
