Fake outrage is the hottest new way to generate pageviews and ad impressions. Remember when Starbucks changed its holiday cups? Literally nobody on the entire planet was actually mad about that. People were, however, mad about the fake people who were supposedly mad, and that's cash money baby

One of the strangest things about the era we live in is that you can generate money by making people upset. It's like having a machine that runs entirely on anger that shits out money. Objectively, that is super loving weird.

Yea, I'm sure there are a few people mad about it, but it reminds me of the Starbuck's holiday cup thing where the news tried to make it out like there was this huge outcry when it was really a handful of idiots butthurt on social media about it. I think it's a cool shirt. :)

Again, if you actually follow the guy on twitter you can see plenty of people who really are mad about it, although even he admits it's overblown.

This was also deliberately provocative, unlike the cups.

The worst of them in that regard by far is League of Legends. Like, it's still loving horrible in other games in the genre, but every other game in LoL is "loving hang yourself and never play ADC again" and "gg resign at 20 our TF sucks" and "gg poo poo support i afk" 5 minutes in. Which is sort of funny and ironic because it's one of the most pay2win, astroturfed games in the genre.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



The attitude in MP games where every public pick-up match that launches is gotta be some kind of ultra-competative Grand Finals is baffling. Like, if there's a learning curve to your computer game and you want people to "get gud noob" they need to play games where they will not, in fact, be good yet. And that might be your game? :shrug:

The funniest thing is is that the people who actually do compete realize that online multiplayer is gonna get you questionable teammates most of the time, and depending on the game they'll do varying levels of goofy poo poo and kick rear end anyway. Moreso in games that don't hold you for ransom for 40 minutes while you watch a seemingly inevitable loss spiral out of control.

I sort of admire the dedication these people have to not show any cracks in the façade. Like the girl who did the Dear Fat People video or any random pretty, young white person on YouTube who specializes in hateful "telling it like it is" rants. Chances are they don't believe anything/everything they say, but if they break character for a moment they'll lose all of their followers they've worked so hard to cultivate. It's not that weird; politicians have been doing it forever to get elected, Fox News and other pundits have been doing it for ratings, it's just with the advent of YouTube that people have been doing it for individual financial gain.

Yeah except a ton of people were actually upset about that. My grandpa ranted like mad. He and a bunch of othrr Christians were extra mad that Christmas only got "holiday cups" and something something "the gays get cups why not us."

I feel sorry for people my age who are caught up in nostalgia for the mid to late loving 90s. Seriously guys, it really wasn't the glory years, Hell, we have disposable income now, meager though it is, that easily makes it better than The Good Ol' Days.

Isn't stupid nostalgia for life from 20 years ago basically the whole reason that a show like Happy Days exists, though? It's not like it's necessarily a new concept.
