There are plenty of people on tumblr who fit the term 'SJW' perfectly but yeah, it's one of those words that often gets used for "person I disagree with" on the internet.

The Koreans looked at Japanese fanservice and thought to themselves "we can do better than that."

I'm sure there's at least one crazy nationalist Korean out there who claims that Koreans invented fanservice 2000 years ago until the imperialist Japanese pigs stole it from them or something.

Why are mobas such garbage and why do people keep playing them despite everyone admitting that they're not having fun?

There is no bigger turn off to me than something proclaimed to be an "e-sport"

NES games were usually programmed by like three people, only one of which had any idea what they were doing.

It didn't help that you had to program a new engine from scratch in assembly for every single game from what I've read, unless it was extremely similar to something you had done before.

The actual hardware was less complicated than what we have nowadays but still.

Yeah the thing about Notch money, even moreso than just having a couple million bucks or w/e, is that you can literally just make up a new purpose.

I used to do volunteer work at an elderly home and there's a lot of people there with similar issues of loneliness/depression as Notch for obvious reasons. Many would say they feel lonely even though they had daily visitors. Most of them were no longer capable of just going to someone else for social interaction like they used to when they were healthy. A lot of them had a purpose in life when they still had a job and/or had to take care of their kids, but now that that's gone they don't know what to do with all their time. The ones who didn't feel lonely were not necessarily the ones with the most visitors, but the ones who were still active. I still remember a man in his 80s learning how to use the computer for the first time in his life to e-mail some people he knew abroad. He was definitely one of the happiest people I met there. Obviously I'm not talking about people who have Alzheimer's, but you get the point.

What I'm saying is that a lot of people have problems with finding a new purpose in life even when they have all the tools in the world to do so.

Quest For Glory II posted:

Women will generally spend hours in front of a mirror improving their looks so that they can attract the most successful men possible. They're purposely choosing to use their bodies to reward successful behavior in men.

They do this for one reason. They believe it's easier than actually becoming successful themselves. That's why you see lots of men going into difficult high paying majors and women taking easier lower paying ones. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's just the general decisions of each gender. Men know that if they want to become wealthy they need to earn it, while it's easier for women to simply marry into wealth. Again nothing wrong. If a women chooses to forgo fun in her youth to achieve a daunting degree like engineering that's great. And if a women chooses to party and have fun in college then marry an engineer that's fine too.

So I'm sorry to burst your victimhood bubble but there is no underlying male domination in society. Men are far more likely to be killed on the job. Far more likely to be attacked in public. Far more likely to have to earn their own wealth. Far more likely to kill themselves. Far more likely to be drafted into the next big war to be used as cannon fodder. Far more likely to lose custody of their children in similar circumstances to other women. Far more likely to serve harsher sentences for the same crime. Far more likely to work at any occupation in the show Dirty Jobs. Far more likely to be hit as children. Far more likely to work longer hours than even childless mothers. In short shut the actual gently caress up and stop calling me a bad person for having a pair of balls.

Thank you internet.
