This game...

[Remolia]

This game attracts the most antisocial weirdos and creeps, this is not a surprise, especially with SE's history of never acting on anything, really not a surprise honestly, this is partially on SE because its widely known that they dont do anything.

Omg u look like Cassandra Goth, from the The Sims game

Me coming back to the thread after a day:

Considering one of the main recurring trolls around here has a habit of making threads about serious topics just to get people fighting, it's not really that outlandish, unfortunately.

Wasn't my intended purpose. Really just wanted to complain and vent. I don't think there's any way I could have set up any of the arguments that managed to happen in this thread and I'm pretty sure if I were in the level of titanmen I'd be getting involved.

I'm sorry you feel that way and just really sorry about the entire dumpster fire this turned into. I reported the thread and asked for it to be locked.

I'm also just going to straight up stop posting on the forums. It's just better for my mental health. Honestly I hope all the people here that go about witch hunting people about secretly being titanmen get what they deserve which is being stuck on these forums with no one besides themselves and titanmen's many alternate personalities.

I've honestly been considering doing the same...

I come here a LOT less these days. And I assure you it is better. When you take a step back and realize most of these conversations are exactly the same as they have been for months, and that at the end of the day it doesn't matter what any of the 30 people who regularly come here think (myself included), you can save a lot of energy that would have gone into arguing with people over just about anything you say here.

Indeed. I mostly come here to be entertained.

The amount of times any random discussion just ends up with someone somehow defending pedophilia (or in other but similar cases: suddenly hijacking a thread to vehemently denounce LGBTQ and racial representation as being 'political', derailing threads by accusing the OP of being a troll, etc.) is just crazy.

Thought being Anti-Pedo was not controversial at all....but then I came here...

It's a good idea. It's real "Stages of Grief"-like, your relationship with this place, and this game. I take breaks whenever my sub expires.

Once you've accepted nothing will change, whether that be with the game itself or the people who feel trapped within, it's really freeing.

And surrounding yourself with negativity is no good for anyone. I think it's been well-established how...combative, for a lack of a better word, things have been over the last year.

Like, people defending or handwaving abhorrent behavior is actually some insane stuff.

This place isn't doing any good and is functionally worthless, so unless you are the equivalent to a pig in a mud wrestling gauntlet for masochistic forum discourse, always take care of yourself first!

I think what's sad also is that even if people have legitimate suggestions or criticisms for improvement, I don't feel like anyone from SE cares or considers anything said here on our forums, so it makes getting overly invested - as you said - functionally worthless.

Honestly, that's actually why it's as bad as it is, if you ask me. We could've had an open dialogue with SE, legitimate complaints could've been acknowledged, there could've been a conversation, and you probably would have less vitriol. It's actually crazy how complete silence or being ignored by SE is probably much worse then them just outright banning people who complain too much.

As an expert void screamer myself, when you yell into it for long enough, it literally bleeds back into you as you scream louder, and more passionately, demanding to be heard, and it lowers your patience, lowers your tolerance, and really promotes hatred of the "other", the enemy. I have to always remind myself, most people here are not my enemy, it's ultimately SE at the end who can stop this madness with clear, direct communication from the community/GM team, both in game and in forums. Yet, they do not. A wound, allowed to divide and fester. Do you blame the untrained dog, or the negligent owner?
