This is what happens when you spend your whole existence corporate brown-nosing. Every forced chuckle at the bosses bad joke, every faux-optimisitic email, eventually rots your soul.

You end up so dishonest that you become unable to tell reality from your own manufactured optimism, and it spreads to all parts of your life.

You become unable to acknowledge hard truth about your relationships with other people, and instead just optimise for the aesthetics of lukewarm niceties instead of anything with substance.

Your kids think you are a distant loser, Your wife loses respect for you when you completely fail to register her emotional needs. You still merrily greet them every morning, but are unable to see the disinterested response.

She starts to quietly seek fulfilment elsewhere, you wallpaper over your own instincts with "maybe she's tired" and "she can have her own friends!". The well-trained optimism reflex is so embedded, you can no longer comprehend doing anything else.

After time the inevitable dragged out divorce comes and goes, you have a moment of reflection, alone in your new downsized economy apartment. You like it, it's all you really need after all. You can do whatever you want, and that makes a nice change.

You look at your Windows Phone on the bare table. The battery died after you were on it to the utilities people all day. You convince yourself an iPhone would have died way sooner. Plus, they are so ugly anyway.

You pick it up to appreciate the glossy front. You see the face of an old, broken man smiling vaguely back at you.

You cry.

I've no doubt that twitters banning system is a steaming pile, it has a long history of being terrible. Doesn't change my point.

It literally says in the preview and the article it was restored quickly. There are a myriad of reasons she could have been banned.

I doubt Elon is sitting there with his dick out waiting to ban her, despite what most people here seem to believe?

You have drawn an incorrect conclusion about the specifics of the social mechanics and cited it as "from your experience" after presenting it as fact.

You could simply have a poor grasp of social mechanics, or be misinformed, misunderstood the original premise but ultimately it doesn't really matter.

You implied lack of conformity and participation is not a cause of bullying - it absolutely is, its probably the original cause of most bullying.

You have completely misunderstood this and are trying to overlay some bizarre Andrew Tate-esque psychobabble to explain your misunderstanding.

You did the right thing. If it was the 1900s and everyone else was to give their child cigarettes, they might get bullied for having no cigarettes, but you know what is best and you stuck with it

You are doing that thing where you are replying to something that you made up in your mind instead of the message that I wrote, because you were really hoping that I would say boycotts don't work because your whole argument is based on it

Customers leaving bad reviews somewhere that is visible and influential to future potential customers works. It stops people buying the game and demonstrates discontent to the vendor. That's it.

Boycotts aren't Boycotts, they are just an underperformed product due to bad reviews. This happens every single day on every single platform.

"Nothing is black and white"

Or in other words, you have no point to make and just wanted to try and have a closing comment, offering nothing of substance to the point or the discussion other than a sarcastic "have a nice day" and some vague virtue signalling/insult. Well, thanks for wrapping up the discussion for me I suppose...

I understand people very well, I have had a long career of doing so. To suggest that people have no responsibility for what they consume is incel-level pathetic. Touch some grass and grow up.
