It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He claims what he is proposing is "less morally questionable" yet in the very next line he states he wants something "truly horrible" and "evil itself." morshupls

A type of guy who thinks that the history of all hitherto existing society is just whatever gets his rocks off. See also: "Evolutionary psychologists"

He is the Main Character and therefore anything he craves and wants more of can't be a bad thing because he can't be a bad person. morshupls

Already in a CW thread so here goes. CW anyway:

I heard a story that some kind of very early online game, some kind of mixed graphical/text RPG, was really dedicated to adding as many things from reality as possible. Devs would just add any interaction they could think of. So like different styles of fighting, pickpocketing, shaking hands, riding under the bottom of a wagon, or whatever, all this was easy to implement as it was mostly just text to display or numbers to change, and if necessary could be handled by a d20 roll or something.

So someone had the idea to add sex. Sure. They added it. But some asked, what if... a player chose that option and the other person... refused? The devs were persuaded to follow their sort of ethos about allowing any real thing into the game. So they added rape next. Handled by d20 rolls I assume.

Well, pretty soon 90% of the player base was role playing rapists. All their little profiles were about why they became rapists and why they rape people. That's all the game was anymore, just rapists running around, constantly stopping people so that the text would pop up and describe them committing rape. Every time you'd go to a town to buy arrows or whatever, you'd wait around getting raped

The sheer uniqueness of the feature drew that sort of person to the game, and drove most of the other people out.

Once that feature was put in place, I assume anyone that said it was a mistake or to remove that feature was called whatever that era's version of a wokescold was and the removal proposal was seen as censorship from the nanny state that is against the very mature grown-ass Vincent AdultMen in the room. heated-gamer-moment

Reminds me of HellMOO, though that was post apocalyptic and made in the early 2000s by a bunch of Something Awful and 4chan users to be as edgy as they possibly could be. Otherwise it was a MUD/MUSH like what you describe. Actually there was one big difference: actually engaging with the sexual mechanics was considered creepy and cringe by the community in general instead of being celebrated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Turns out most peeps that engage in multiplayer games don't do it to encounter SA, huh I'm shocked

Prestige TV and its consequences

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Creeps like him existed before Prestige TV, but the consequent normalization of what creeps like him get off to certainly didn't help. yea

it's something we all desire

Uhhhhh, 📽️

Something tells me this guy would be upset if they also added the historically accurate features of hazard pay, voting, paying prostitutes and respecting their consent, having black ex-slaves as equal members, and getting killed by your underlings if you keep the loot to yourself or get too many people killed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Not to mention most pirates were able to elect and then also remove their captains if they weren't getting paid well from raiding

You have to imagine the person who is still into Star Citizen is just the worst person imaginable

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They got like half a billion dollars, or a billion dollars, in funding. The people who are invested in this game enough to use the forums are likely sex cultist pedophiles in Silicon Valley or “cultural critics” or “philosophers” who post about how scary it would be if Siri came to life and went on a murder rampage

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

who post about how scary it would be if Siri came to life and went on a murder rampage

They want a godlike slave to obey their every whim and the pathology of that contradiction is like a metaphor for capitalism: they crave the adoration and worship of they who by all rights should destroy them. sicko-fem porky-point

It seemed like it could've been cool like 20 years ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

That cool thing about 20 years ago was Freelancer, and Freelancer only came out because Chris Roberts was kicked off the project because of micromanaging bumbling and scope creep. Like Star Citizen that came after.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

wtf. what if he just didn't post this

like just don't do that

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

This guy talking about "historically accurate" and all I can think of is one of if not best games at least critically acclaimed games ever made Sid Meyer's Pirates. Not even 10 years apart(SC initial dev launch).

This is the sort of take not even Roberts or whatever the fuck his name is would be willing to follow imo, like goodbye your game ever getting anywhere close to the mainstream, and that is considering it is already a joke within "gamers" circles.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If it makes you feel any better, this post is like ten years old and the game still barely functions.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

It would, except ten years later and about 590 million dollars more later and the game keeps making the Roberts grifter family richer.

These people are such freaks.

He literally wants "his avatar" to be sexually assaulted and humiliated while he watches. Just cut out the middle man and watch some porn or something--don't demand that everyone else participates in your fet.

Reminds me of that vile fanfic you posted which was just heaps of torture porn. Why are these people so drawn to this game?

I think that was a misdirection on his part; I'm pretty certain he wants to be the assaulter but that would look unsavory in the post. It's like those creepy posts in porn sites that repetitively and even predictably say "I wish that was me" for whatever it is.

It's always presented itself as some "saving the genre" to aging gamedads, the kind that hate "wokeness" and the like. It's about a white-coded Roman LARPing human supremacist empire killing Orientialist-coded aliens. I think the chuddery just stacks and draws more chuddery in like a gravity well.

Very original.

They need to make WH40K satire again, piss off all the chuds, and then they can migrate over to star citizen, and I can have 40K back, and they can throw money at spaceship NFTs or whatever.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The lie detector says that when you said "I am not a troll" you were lying.

But let me be clear, he was making fun of real star citizen players.
