Online dating sucks for me, a woman who has 100% of the power in online dating interactions and situations

FACT CHECK:

I don't feel comfortable going out with guys too much older than me, to be perfectly honest. I'm really paranoid of being taken advantage of emotionally/mentally/sexually, so I try to stick to my age range and maybe 1-2 years older than me (never younger, because at my age that'd be like dating a teenager, no thanks). So it's not flattering at all when some guy who's 26 wants to hit me up.

In the other side of the coin:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/respawn-entertainment-we-need-to-lead-by-example-response-to-reddit-controversy.135936/

I wonder if Era is okay with them. 

Damn that consumer post on Reddit really shook Vince

It really is a shame that most game communities are garbage fires and the burning garbage hates it when it's pointed out but hey gotta keep that """consumer goodwill"

[benjipwns]

I only saw this response, what exactly was said that was so bad an apology was needed?

Called gamers entitled dickheaded asshats.

Oh...I don't find that too offensive or even that wrong?

[tummyfat]

What if Benjisales is just part of the Benjipwns system #pluralgang

[benjipwns]

It wasn't.

But GAMERS RISE UP.

Here we go, “offended” people getting apologised to.....they did nothing wrong in my opinion so no need to an apology.

I get it but I wish they didn't apologise.

I get why they did it, but they have to realise that 95% of gamers don't even respond or even go on reddit. Majority just play the game. It really is the nasty minority who throw out these disgusting comments towards the developers. They should just be reported and banned, not much else you can do but ignore the trolls and that's where they went wrong.

Shoulda doubled down. The comments were taken out of context.

People got offended about nothing and that's their own fault. Don't apologize to those folks, tell them to fuck off instead.

After thinking about this post, and my own experiences dealing with toxicity in online games, reporting and ignoring is probably the best avenue. They should have reported the posts as TOS violations or whatever and ignored it. You're right, you can't start getting into the weeds with shitty reddit commenters. Fuck those douches.

[benjipwns]

Maybe her online dating experience sucks because she thinks everyone is out to get her but also wants them to pay for everything and be attracted to her but not want to fuck her but also be hot and not poor.

Is it really too much for a 21 year old to ask?

[Boredfrom]

This isn't as big a deal as some people try to make it out to be. The guy got caught complaining about how shitty consumers can be when dealing with the public. He should have gotten a small reprimand and Respawn offered an apology. No big deal.

I guarantee you people at restaurants, coffee places, amusement parks, hotels etc....have said MUCH worse shit about the customers behind closed doors.

The public sucks, everyone who has ever dealt with them or a fan base knows this.

 didn’t you guys wanted someone fired because the Ion Fury shit?

[tiesto]

I don't know which makes me facepalm more, female or male incels. Both have different yet equally insufferable qualities.

Well, so far I don't know of any femcels who ran over people with a van or shot up a sorority house or yoga studio, so yeah male incels are by far the worst...

[benjipwns]

Actually, reading that OP again I'm starting to think "being taken advantage of emotionally/mentally/sexually" means not establishing a long term/life long relationship from the first date.

[Boredfrom]

I just caught up on their responses that provoked this

I get that it wasn't really "professional" but honestly I don't have a problem with them talking like real people
However deciding to take the high road from now on is ultimately a positive choice
But if you're being a dick and somebody calls you out for it I'm not gonna be mad
Maybe while youre launching lootboxes out the ass like fireworks is not the most opportune time to try it though

I'm certainly not a fan of all the lootbox shit, they've earned legitimate complaints, but some people just go too far
Lots of kids with keyboard confidence
Reading through that thread, what a bunch of entitled asshats

 

[benjipwns]

Now Respawn has to apologize to ResetEra for apologizing.

[benjipwns]

Stanning for the profit seeking entity.

No one is stanning the entity. They are stanning developers. Massive difference.

But go off.

[benjipwns]

I don't think they need to apologise.

They're human and after a lot of negative feedback can honestly hurt, cause undue stress and depending on the person go inward or outward.

While I think it's dumb it reminds me a situation. An employee in McDonalds and a customer; the employee does his job to a high standard everyday but everyday a pushy customer makes their life hell. Eventually after months of verbal abuse from the customer the employee snaps and shouts at the customer. The customer gets angry with vitriol spat and the image of the company targeted -the manager steps in to defuse the situation. With the manager's presence seen the customer grinning his teeth says "The customer is always right" and the manager gives the person what they want an apology, reassurance and awareness.

But who is right?

The employee is employed to be a service to the customer but the customer abuse was layered upon layer for months. Ultimately the employee is not a robot who stands there like superman taking those blows without having some internal damage. Talk to them like a human, and don't get angry when the answer you receive is not the one you want. Life is too short to cause someone else harm; mentally or verbally.

[Boredfrom]

You know behind the scenes at Respawn, they're all still laughing at how petty their community is with some of those reddit thread replies.

When you're representing your company online, gamers *will* hold you to a higher standard than they hold themselves. It may seem unfair, but we just saw what happens when game devs aren't able to be "the bigger man." I sympathize with the devs, and understand why they felt compelled to defend themselves, but hopefully they learn from this that you just can't feed the trolls... =/

"The Customer Is Always Wrong, But The Niche Forum/Twitter User Is Always Right" - ResetERA.com

[Boredfrom]

Decent response.

The problem with these overreacting toxic types is that the loot box bullshit Respawn was attempting, is now forgotten. Six months ago Era would’ve been angered by Respawn locking exclusive timed event items behind loot boxes.

I feel the only ones that want this forgotten is the forum, you fucks. I don’t even disagree that what the developer said was overblown, but you are the first ones to say “FUCK GAMERS VIVA CORPORATIONS I LIKE/WORK FOR”.

So damn accurate it hurts. I haven't played MGS5 solely because of Quiet. I'll still give Death Stranding a try but damn, can Kojima learn one day? It'd be nice.

No mentions of today's new material at all? Don't tell me ya'll haven't watched the reveal trailer of Death Stranding's Mama yet? Those long stares coupled with the boob rub are top tier Kojima.

This post summarizes Death Stranding's take on women so far pretty well:

There's just a deep misogyny ingrained in the very core of this game. Women are just baby machines, mama can't go anywhere because her ghost baby, mama's just leaking milk everywhere. The other woman is named fragile. Jesus fucking Christ, I thought Quiet was where he would stop.

This game seems to have a theme of parenthood, which actually is very refreshing. The main character as well engages with the baby he carries as if it were his own, referring to it as such. So for a female character to be thematically tied to motherhood doesn't really seem that out of the ordinary. Yet her name is Mama, indicating that this motherhood is her one defining quality. My big takeaway and gripe is that Kojima seems incapable of writing even a single woman that isn't tied to her sex appeal, supposed female fragility or acting like or being a mother. At worst, he weaponizes the female body, because a vagina bomb is the natural thing to think of somehow. It'd be nice to have a female character for once that simply does her own thing; the Boss came closest.

Conceptually, Death Stranding is very interesting, I think. The lack of gunplay at least for the most part so far shows creativity and ambition. I don't hate the central theme of parenthood. Only, Kojima's history with female characters and what we've seen of them so far here doesn't inspire much confidence in me that they will be respectful or compelling this time around either.

I'm also certain he'll make me regret even making the smallest of cases for him.

One might say you will come to regret your words and deeds. I agree that Death Stranding is a lot more tame visually, but thematically, the women don't really seem any better thus far.

After watching a play through of Policenauts (rip 2BFP) I was floored at how ass backwards Kojima is, when it comes to women

[VomKriege]

Yep.

Of course, of course someone would get upset by that little boob rub. Like if there is anything that acknowledges the female body they get pissed. It's not even sexual you numbnuts

[Boredfrom]

Is both hilarious and sad when you compare the quantity of likes of the butthurt “THEY CHANGED IT SO IM GOING TO SHIT ON THE DEVS” steam reviews with the RE “TRANSPHOBIC TRASH” reviews.

 

Probably worse because both are doing exactly the same kind of whining.

In any case, it was a bad idea to apologize given how small RE whining actually is, but 3D Realms are not exactly the brightest bunch.

Quality of dates. I don't need to be taken out for a $999 Dinner spree on the first date, but really guys? I hate coffee, I hate tea. And if you're taking me out for Bubble tea then why are you sweating me over the like, 4-7$ mine costs? If you're that broke maybe you shouldn't be dating.

Don't fight me on this. I tend to go out with guys who are 2-3 years older than me (which i hate, I'll get to that later), and to a certain extent no matter what relationships will never actually be 50/50 for women. The world isn't 50/50 for women once you factor things in like the Wage Gap, the Second Shift, etc etc. So me expecting to be catered to a little bit shouldn't be out of the question. If i have to pay for my own bubble tea, I could do that alone.

Age of men. I don't feel comfortable going out with guys too much older than me, to be perfectly honest. I'm really paranoid of being taken advantage of emotionally/mentally/sexually, so I try to stick to my age range and maybe 1-2 years older than me (never younger, because at my age that'd be like dating a teenager, no thanks). So it's not flattering at all when some guy who's 26 wants to hit me up. No shade to anyone who does this, but I'm always going to wonder why you're trying to get with me, someone who's inexperienced and just starting out, instead of trying to get with someone who's closer to your age.

Attraction in general/Basicness of men. Don't try to drag me in the comments, but it really feels like most men are the goddamn same. Shirtless pics (which aren't interesting to me because I do Brazlian Jiu Jitsu, meaning that I see shirtless men all the time.). The Office references. "I LISTEN TO DRAAAKKKEEE" (Side-point: I fucking hate Drake). I like to travel. I like video games (Don't put this in your profile unless you're into niche games; everybody plays CoD so it's not very interesting that you do too bub). I like netflix. I like anime. Do men realize how basic this makes you sound? I'm sure there's probably a version of this for women too, but it's annoying as hell nonetheless. Also, ugh I hate to say it but a lot of guys I'm just not physically attracted to.

she seems like such a gem, who wouldn't want to date that?

good, boomer ideology

We can also thank Bioshock for this.

A world without Reagan, Thatcher, and Rand would be a western paradise. Having to live in a world where they're physically dead but their ideas and beliefs aren't is part of the reason we're in a hellworld.

And that game is an excellent example of why an objectivist society is doomed to failure.

I honestly find many of these comments humorous. I can picture many of you typing on a mobile Apple device saying that the self motivated greed of capitalistic endeavor is outrageous. Show of hands. How many of you have read Atlas Shrugged. I may not agree with everything Ayn Rand has stated, but she is a genius.

found Ben Shapiro's era account

It’s a work of fiction, no shit things in there turned out the way Rand wrote them.

This is the most baffling part of libertarians to me, their entire ideology is based on literal fiction.

didn't she argue that government safety nets were immoral then turn around and get social security?

White supremacy in a nutshell.

To be fair, the same could be said about socialism and many of the other fringe "-isms" out there. They tend to be very pie in the sky with little real world abilities to be implemented.

though the science of Marx specifically is the successor to the utopian socialist that existed before Marx

Talking to some younger coworkers (like age 20 or so), I'm amazed at how well-versed in things like politics and philosophy they are. When I was that age I was still arguing with strangers on the internet about video games, and I'm only 27.

On top of being well-informed, they all lean far left and can effectively support their beliefs. I have faith in this younger generation's ability to do good. I just worry that it's too late for them to do anything.

I have read Atlas Shrugged. And I am glad I did. It was the single most important reason I gave up on libertarianism as a political belief system.

This just feels like a way to say you’re a different kind of Republican.

From what I’ve seen, a lot of “Objectivism” overlaps a lot more with the GOP than the Democrats.

I see parallels to Trumpism. People attend his stupid rallies, donate and buy hats because they see a racist idiot who's just like them and he is POTUS so they think they can fall upwards just like him and be "rich".

Someone like Obama speaking eloquently to a crowd doesn't have the same effect.

Like white nationalists don't like to be called Nazis. Same shit.

They lack self awareness, or they just choose to ignore the obvious.

Spoken like a real neoliberal. That "creation" of wealth also involved the abuses at FoxConn, a place that had to install safety nets because jumping to one's death was a frequent occurrence. We motivate people with the threat of starvation and homelessness, that doesn't seem like a motivation but an ultimatum. But apparently this is good literally because LOLJOBS? That's it? This is the metric of "true value"? This is kid's shit.

Only in a rugged, atomized, isolationist view can one justify the efforts of one person when that involved the misery of so many. This doesn't even get us into the fact that you wouldn't have an iPhone without DARPA, yaknow, the thing the taxpayers funded, kinda making this glorification of tech people as our saviors to be a bit suspect seeing as they almost always rely on public efforts to springboard their ideas from. It's no wonder the people who adhere to such shitbrained thinking handwave collective and systemic misery for the few cherries showing us that it's "working well for us all". Steven Pinker is the current king of the "neoliberal optimist movement" for precisely this reason, bringing the this_is_fine.jpeg to life.

Peterson is a joke when you realize he correctly believes internal change is the best motivator for change, and yet, argues finding similar people who realize the same to act together is a bridge too far. This means movements like the Civil Rights Movement and Occupy were problems the second people paired up and saw a similar problem with similar understanding. The isolation of the individual is precisely why no issues get changed. Just compare how the United States has given people the propaganda of dualism from the perspective of commerce, law, and even spirituality to make sure all public issues are private concerns, and yet in Hong Kong over one million people can actually stand in the rain against a seen injustice. Will the States ever see that similar movement even with the Poor People's Campaign? Maybe for Wendy's spicy nuggets, but therein is the whole problem. One has fallen for the bullshit, and that is precisely part of the problem. Rand argues that the "ego" is the ideal, and yet, it is this ego that is not only the disease of isolation, it is the source of almost all human conflict and suffering.

It is through ego people believe in free will, that poverty is really the fault of the "unwilling", and that people who succeed in this house of cards are really the most "fit" in the usual bastardized perspective of Darwin's work, ignoring his remarks about nonduality in the form of altruism but instead making up a socioeconomic con game as the determiner of what is "good and fit" for us all. The ego is really the "fountainhead" to suffering, not progress.

wtf is happening why is this thread so long, why are these posts getting longer

Objectivists, Libertarians, "free-market" activists. At the end of the day, they're all just either wannabe oligarchs or will kill themselves for their faulty ideal.

The irony of course is that Rand's vision of the totalitarian Objectivism is literally based on the same concept as ResetERA.com's "everything is political" ideology. Literally everything was politics to Rand, and thus there was a correct way to view everything, down to and including art. There is art that reinforces Objectivism and thus is correct art and the rest is not only wrong but is to be dismissed in the most venomous terms as it actively harms people by holding them back from correct thought.

Holy shit, is scary how that is their actual point of view in many cases. Objectivist communists?

That Palestine LGBT thread perfectly encapsulates what's wrong with the fucking idiots over there.

The seeming shock that some of them are experiencing when their "allies" don't completely share the exact same views as they do is hilarious.

It's that sort of cognitive dissonance which leads to their assertions that people like Boogie, PDP, THQ and other mostly normal and not-Nazi personalities and organisations are literal Nazis and must be cancelled.


In the mind of a    you can't be anything other than a Nazi UNLESS you absolutely subscribe to every single one of their crackpot theories and beliefs and even questioning the rationality of the frequent internet hate mob mentality is wrong think and likely to get you banned.

There are some posts in that thread attacking Ditko seemingly randomly and promoting Rorschach, started by yes, Slayven posting Spider-Man comic panels.

Well, yeah Rorschach is the hero, if there's one.

Counter to the thread, I'd suggest the world's probably lucky that Rand glommed onto liberalism/libertarianism considering how successful she was despite her totalitarian manner in all things.

The thread should have had way more fun with Rand's forcing her orbiters into her own polyamorous relationship she forced on the guy to begin with.

She would have hated online dating profiles too.

This is what Rand believed too! But they were Communists instead of Nazis!
