OP has been asking chatGPT for therapy:
See a therapist. Talk it through and find out if you have a problem. A therapist can help you identify healthy outlets for your urges.
There are no Therapists where i live. My best option is chatGPT and it has definitely given some solutions but I have not seen any improvement. I think stopping porn will solve all of this
Enjoying these things is not turning you into a predator. There is a thing called CNC (consensual non consent) where women enjoy the fantasy of being SA'd. There is nothing wrong with that. When you begin to actual trying doing something to a girl who has in no way consented, that's when you become a predator. Lay off the porn a bit though. It unfortunately can be addictive and gives you a false sense of reality. Go meet a girl. You can also check bdsm dating sites for a girl you can act out your fantasies with without being a predator
""Progressive"" Redditors defending things would make the most misogynistic, anti-egalitarian rightoid blush.
You need to stop watching porn and go outside. Stop being so fricking weird.
Only good advice in the thread.
THE ROBOT IS STUCK!

(SKIP IF YOU AINT A NORMGROID WHO DONT KNOW WHAT RW TWITTER IS) BACKGROUND:
Ever since the publishing of Bronze Age Mindset in 2018, the dissident RW scene on X - the everything app has not been the same. This scene, initially centered around BAM author Bronze Age Pervert AKA Costin Alamariu, eventually grew into its own thing called frog twitter , with non groyper christians joining, the red scare girls/ artf@gs, right wingers who dont even know BAP, and a shiet ton of other people joining in. At this point, the space is defined less by barbarian LARPing, and moreso their (thinly veiled )neoconservatism, lawncucking (their highest aspirations is to be a richer normie), opposition to groypas led by Nick Fuentes, and thinly veiled simping for ugly foids. Famous moments (im too lazy to post screenshots0 include their members getting followed and RTed by the richest man on earth (elon), the haitian cat thing (yep, came from here), JD vance and several US politicians following their members, getting some of their members interviewed on FOX (faux) news, and some other shiet im too lazy to bring up
some holesum drama from frog twitter

Some background on BAP and frog twitter for the uninitiated (scroll down on the kiwiSISSY thread for info on frog twitter)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Age_Pervert
With that out of the way, its time to actually get into what you clicked for
Around 2022, there was this anon, by the name of skyros achilles. Skyros Achilles was your average bronze age LARPer: skinny fat YT or jew who thought he was Achilles cuz he called Blks noons (I cant use the n word cuz NIGvann gets offended due to his African heritage) on twitter (not to our face of course!) and talked like mofuggin sephiroth or som shiet. One day, our hero recieved a calling that has occured in every single of his ARYAN WARRIOR ancestors. That calling, was of course, to mate with a fair aryan shieldmaiden and make BEAUTIFUL YT chillun. But, you ask, how would our faustian hero get his gall, his bonnie, his yang, his soulmate, on the MOST EVIL, DEPRAVE, MISOGNYISTIC, AND RAYCIS PART OF x - the everything app? Well, you see, BAP, being the juden he is, couldnt deny his true nature, and wherever he was, he must pimp. Hence, frog twitter i mean x - the everything app was flooded with e girls, and they just be lettin anybody in 
. if you don believe me, lemme introduce you to annie skywalker
Annie Skywalker is an Irish onlyfans whore that got in cuz being a prostie is bronze age mindset or som (not makin this up its unironically what BAP says). Id waste some time describing her, but I guess her actions / these screenshots would do a far superior job
So yeah, this nxgga achilles was tryna court an literal onlyfans whore that not only sold pictures of her gussy for the price of a cheeseburger, had s-x with a shiet ton of men, engaged in a poly relationship, coal burner, but also was a baby mama/ single mother ( for all the unkultured YTs that dont know hood kulture). Their relationship began as something was entirely confined to them on the internet, but like romeo and juliet (i dunno what happened there i don read das ghetto 💅), sh!t started leaking to the rest of frog X- the everything app.
Of course, people would eventually start to get hold of knowledge of this relationship, and it eventually began to split RW twitter, with the underclass of (INSECURE and brown coded) literal who anons opposing this, and the upper and more famous anons, BAP included, start encouraging skyros to CONQUER this shield maiden. How can you call yourself a real aryan man if your girl hasnt recieved 5000 miles of peepee, and decided to choose YOU of all the people shes been with! Theres also this dude who allegedly did the most to persuade skyros to wife dis YT hoe up, and his name is bane of mars (
), but he denies it to this day, and even claims he has a trash can with baby sneed's (i shall elaborate on this later) name on it“When I was held to a martial standard I turned out to be very average and that made me uncomfortable” pic.twitter.com/6DA3mBqdld
— Bane of Mars (@_putonthemask_) February 4, 2025
So, did Skyros heed these RESENTFUL chud's advice, and give up on trying to court this fair maiden? Well rumor has he was considering it, but one day, the POWER and BLOOD of the YAMNAYA COURSED thru achilles veins LIKE A RIVER, and he decided hed follow in what his noble ancestors would (totally) do, and doubled down and SENT THIS BICH A DIAMOND RING IN ORDER TO MARRY HER!
- keep in note for the later section, i think this is annie buying skyros a ring in exchange for his (idk yt nonsense)
AND NOT JUS ANY BLING, BUT A RANG (AHHH LAWD DEM RANGZ) WITH ICE ON IT WORTH 5K (THAS LIKE 50 AIR JORDANS BRU). AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, HE SENT IT TO THE WRONG HOOD HOE TOO 
Also heres some screenshots of people making fun of achilles for NOT only courtin the town bike, but also tryna send the BICH a diamond ring (by my baby mamas life dat shie gotta be expensive like u gotta rob a walmart or som to get dat). Nxggas even made entire accounts to make fun of the whole sh!tshow
(in case the text is too hard to make out from the bottom, its skyros achilles sayin " by ideology is hot people supremacy" and him getting QRTed by a nxgga sayin "my ideology is yo fiances pussiyeh "

AND THE BEST PART HASNT EVEN BEEN REVEALED YET (well, if you had LITERACY and ccould put two and two together, i thikn youd know)
Our internet detectives (neighbors that have enough patience to go thru like 5 minutes of scrolling) find, a rather disturbing and peculiar specimen...
ITS A FCKIN MULATTO 
BABY!!!!!!! ANNIE SKYWALKER IS NOT JUS A SINGLE MOTHER, BUT DESPITE LIVIN IN THE WHITEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET, SHE SOMEHOW FCKED A BLACK GUY AND PRODUCED A LIL NIGGRESS SHANIQUA! !!!!!! Eventually, people took to calling the half YT half neeyga baby baby sneed, and referring to it as he for some reason
Sh!t EXPLODED! Nxggas were fckin everywhere and eruptin like lil vesuvius over dis shiet. It was like 1000 suns laughing all at once. I cannot describe the absolute pandemonium and sh!tshow that occured after, only try to show you
Of course, achilles and aurora tried to claim damage control and claim it was actually an "aryan" castizo baby from a LATINX instead of neeyga, but lbh no one believin that
more fun
(come on bro das jus too dirty)
https://x.com/BAPHOUSETV/status/1669813057856339968/video/1 - dirtiest one by FAR! They literally ressurect her dad using AI just to hoe shame her! BRVTAL! NO COMING BACK FROM THIS
Our aryan hero,Achilles, for the KRIME of eros and heterosexuality, had no choice but to leave the internet entirely (although the hood says this is a farce, check around for more details) after all this i showed you, and rougly I cant blame him. Rumours persist that that crakkka accelerated the mayocide and decided to kill himself (and 
for that too), but sadly, this is not the case. He is still the butt of all cuck jokes on frog twitter and allegedly got doxxed but i cant find info on dat rn.
So youre wondering, what happened to the characters in this story after this fiasco? Well
BAP is still there and he done more gas butt YT shie like encourage two gay followers to go into gay porn, as well some other stuff im too lazy to talk about. Bane of Mars is posting half naked jap foids on his TL. Annie skywalker got harassed to a point where even id kill myself, but being the wh0re she is, she couldnt RESIST the attention and still posts on the same twitter account where alll that transpired. She also beefed with nick fuentes too, for some reason i wont mention here. BAPhouseTVs owner would never be revealed, and once the fiasco subsided, he eventually fell into inactivity.
But, as of writing this, my hood has FOUND new details after asking around, and we have UNCOMFIRMED NEWS (benefits of following me BTW, make sure to do it on twitter and here i wanna boost my aura/ klout) that skyros achilles is not only STILL ALIVE, but also alive and better than EVER! even moreso than his opps! In fact, its probable that you probably seen skyros achilles and didnt recognize it, before you even saw this post (assuming you have an X- the everything app account). Its even likely that his own opps has even unknowingly boosted his account and landed him into the likes of te richest and most powerful (heck im guilty asf cuz i followed dis neeygas new acc lul.)
Thats because Skyros Achilles runs one of the biggest accounts on this website, Anc_Aesthetica, which has been boosted AND FOLLOWED by the likes of none other than Elon Musk.
How did my hood originally know this? I dont fckin know, but I do know I came to realize they were tellin the truth!
Well for one, if you notice, anc aesthetica was started in february 2022, same time achilles deactivated his twitter account and left.
If you still dont believe this is enough proof (understandable), ask him about baby sneed and his aryan shieldmaiden,
Your answer will be revealed in the swiftness he blocks ye

Omg achilles? Skyros achilles!

Baby sneed needs you to be the man thay stepped up!
So yeah thats the story of perhaps the greatest cuck on right wing X- the everything app, eventually came to realize that trying to wife up the former poly onlyfans hooker with a bodycount rivaling that of the actual achilles that was a single mother of a mulatto monstrosity was simply an SILLY mistake - the struggle section of the "struggle, grind, shine" era of any bronze age gangsta. And how he decided to not let that (until now 
(me n my hood got something blanned for this neeyga who think he can get off THAT easy)) stop him from getting thousands in goybux from none other than the richest man in the world, who also included him into his network, which now controls the government of the worlds most powerful army.
Unrelated but crazy how we have a cuck occupied government (Elon got cucked by a literal trainee (manning), Trump married a nude model, Achilles ( i already elaborated here), jd vance's (whos a weirdo) wife was fcked or dare i say JEETED by vivek (neighbor from morrowind lo), etc.)

A leaked draft of the list of plans by the European Commission shows that the Commission wants to follow a new approach to introduce "hate crime" as a felony in the entire EU. There have been several attempts since 2021.
Already during her first term as Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen wanted to declare "hate crime" a EU felony.
The magazine Euractiv recently published a draft of the list of all initiatives that the European Commission wants to implement this year. On Tuesday, February 11th, the final list is to be presented by Ursula von der Leyen to the members of the European Parliament. The European Commission president wants to tackle another initiative so that "hate speech" is recognized as a felony in all of the European Union.
Already in 2021, during her first term as Commission president, the Commission presented a corresponding legal initiative. The parliament agreed to the initiative, but there was no agreement in the Council of the European Union. Because "hate crime" can only be introduced as a EU-wide felony if all member states agree. In November 2023, members of the European Parliament demanded again that the initiative shall be followed on.
Crimes need to meet certain requirements in order to be considered "EU crimes". These requirements are stipulated in Article 83 Paragraph 1 on the work of the European Union. The crimes must be cross-border, the acts must be categorized as "particularly severe crime", and there must not be an alternative to the expansion of EU crime status to get the crime under control. So far, among EU felonies are human trafficking, terrorism, and money laundering. "Hate speech" allegedly is cross-border not only because of the Internet, but also because media such as newspapers are able to distribute content far and wide.
So far, at the level of the European Union, discrimination on the basis of skin color, religion, or s*x is punishable. The European Commission argues that the introduction of a felony "hate crime" is necessary because hate not only harms the individual victim, but "also society at large", as the legal initiative from 2021 says. "Hate undermines the very foundations of our society. It weakens mutual understanding and respect for diversity on which pluralistic and democratic societies are built", it continues.
When "hate crime" is fundamentally recognized as a felony in the European Union, then, in a second step, the Commission together with the Parliament and the Council of the European Union, in the scope of the regular legislative procedure, can set concrete characteristics of the felony "hate crime". Also, the three institutions can then decree minimum regulations that are then valid in all member states.
Currently, in EU law, there is no definition of hate speech and hate crime. On the definition of the term "hate speech", the Commission refers to a recommendation by the European Council from 1997, in which it states that hate speech is the incitement of hate because of certain protected characteristics like religion or s*x. The term "hate crime" is being defined in a recommendation by the European Commission in 2015 as "advocacy, promotion or incitement, in any form, of the denigration, hatred or vilification of a person or group of persons." A "negative stereotyping" is also seen as "hate crime". In that, it is about characteristics like an alleged social gender identity, age, origin, s*x, or religion.
Based on these two documents, the Commission speaks of "hate crime" being any crime with a motive based on prejudices. Specifically, the initiative from 2021 says: "For both hate speech and hate crime, it is the bias motivation that triggers the perpetrator's action." Furthermore: "These are 'identity' or 'message' acts, as the messages conveyed - notably that the targeted victims do not belong to that society - are addressed not only to the victim, but also to their community or group."
Accordingly, the motivation of the perpetrator is crucial for the felony. In addition, the text says that "hate crime" and hate speech "undermine the foundations of the EU". The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) decided in 2006 that it could be necessary for "democratic societies to sanction or even prevent all forms of expression which spread, incite, promote or justify hatred based on intolerance".
The right to freedom of speech does not protect against law enforcement reactions to hate speech, the ECtHR says. The legal initiative from 2021 also refers to the concept of a "ladder of harm" or "pyramid of hate", according to which hate not only leads to discrimination or insults, but also "bias motivated violence" like r*pe, murder, or genocide. As an example, they refer to a study according to which hate-filled tweets lead to an increase of hate crime in a city.

I made a Longpost about Age of Empires 3 long ago about how the then upcoming AOE3 Definitive Edition was controversial because of perceived wokeness, like reworking Native Yank factions, because the original 2005 game was antiquated and racist by depicting Indians @Sphereserf3232 dancing around fires, and seen as offensively stereotypical.
These changes were controversial because it was seen as part of the wider wokefication of remakes, like Dead Space 1 remake, alongside the general perception of chuds that SanFran types had completely infiltrated gaming studios in American modern AAA gaming development.
AOE3 devs even went so far as to actually bring in Native yank advisors to tell them how to depict the 3 big factions, and what was no-no, so that when AOE3 released to an even more buggy state than any of the modern Definitive Edition Remakes by MicroSoftest, the perception was wide that focusing on culture-war type shit was what the majority of the budget and efforts had been focused upon, much to the jubilation of chuds
https://rdrama.net/post/195059/drama-2-years-ago-about-the
In all fairness, the AOE3 definitive edition did bring about many technical and gameplay improvements, conveniences and quality-of-life mechanics. But all of this was overshadowed by the poor release state, in which the fabled reworked indian civs had been very badly balanced, since the Indian civs in the eye of the drama-maelstrom had gotten the short end of the stick, gameplay-wise because the firedancing mechanic had allowed Indians ingame to turbo cuck European civs, by summoning super-powered high tier units - the absence of the fire-dancing mechanics made the Indian civs bottom tier upon release.
This was in conjunction with the promotional Youtube material for AOE3 DE was like 70% focused on cultural self-flagellation and 30% focus on gameplay, compared to the promotional advertisements for AOE1:DE, AOE2:DE & AOE4:DE. It didn't help that compared to the other 3 games, AOE3:DE was during the colonial era, and thus for minorities to be salty about it, and wokes to soy about it.
So battle lines between Soys-VS-wokes had already been drawn, but since it was released in 2020, it had released JUST before the great GaymerGate Zeitgheist from 2021-2024, where large amounts of AAA slop, often riddled with extreme progressive views would release and tank within months. But as the last 5 years passed, with games like Saints Row 2022 and DA Veilguard appearing to have failed financially, a lot of wingcuckery have taken positions for both chuds & soys
Soys want AOE3:DE to be a success because it is perceived that chuds hate it, and the inverse applies to chuds. Thus even in threads on /r/AOE3 where no cultural war is explicitly mentioned, there has always been an element of powder keg between the 2 autismo factiosn.
This week /r/AOE3 has learned that Microsoft has in all but name, shitcanned AOE3 support, and even cancelled much expected DLCs, which included much anticipated factions, like Polacks

Most peeps are not upset Microcucks will not continue to support AOE3:DE with updates forward, but would have been able to make peace if they had just released the DLCs, and then finished support :marseybea

which is understandable.

There's also inter-community infighting between all the other different games, like AOE1, AOE2, AOE3 &AOE4, because there is often the belief that the Real-Time-Strategy genre is already so small, that the userbase is fractured between them, and thus shitflinging occurs in a blame game between communities, like AOE3 blaming Age of Mythology Definitive Edition (AOM:DE) for "stealing their userbase" and thus making AOE3 (which is certain g*mers' favorite of the bunch) less financially viable and likely to be serviced by MicroSoft longer term

Which as you can imagine makes our poor souls in /r/aoe3 really livid

Even the shit mobile game is getting updates and support
"THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO THE AOE3 COMMUNITY" 
https://old.reddit.com/r/aoe3/comments/1ihrolq/this_announcement_is_offensive_to_the_community/
Some users tell OP to grow the frick up
Some strags tell everyone to sign a petition, this will FORCE Bill Gates to revitalize AOE3 support!! 
But most r-slurred of all is that AOE3 has a weird rivalry victim mentality, where they have this perception that the other AOE communities/subs are laughing at the expense of their misfortune? 
which is not the case at all, especially since there is often sympathy for them, even from the much more "successful" communities like AOE2, and especially since the chances of gaymers playing/buying one of the AOE games (AOE1,AOE2,AOE3,AOE4,AOM) are extremely likely to buy some or all of the others, even if those specific gaymers have a favorite between the current 5 main Microsoft titles.

(CNN) — When a series of lightning strikes took down power across New York City on the night of July 13, 1977, streetlights, neon signs, and the bright lights of houses and skyscrapers went dark.
And just like that, for the first time in decades, the Milky Way could be seen streaked across the black sky, speckled by thousands of shimmering stars.
"I saw a (starry) sky from my location in the Bronx," said Joe Rao, a meteorologist and amateur astronomer who was living in New York City on the night of the blackout, "which I had never seen before and have never seen again."
Barring a freak power outage, the light emanating from towns and cities due to unnatural light sources is so bright that it washes out the stars. Today one-third of all humans, including 80% of North Americans, cannot see the Milky Way.
For a growing number of people, natural darkness has been lost. When the lights went out in 1977, New Yorkers could see how much they were missing.
Light pollution, the term for the brightening of the night sky by unnatural lights, is increasing worldwide. On average, skies are getting 10% brighter each year globally, with the fastest rate of change in North America.
Many species are suffering the consequences. Every year, up to one billion birds in the US are killed by colliding with buildings, a global crisis exacerbated by bright lights drawing them off their migratory paths at night. Unnatural lighting can disorient insects, and affect the leaf development of trees. A 2017 study found that light pollution poses a threat to 30% of vertebrates and more than 60% of invertebrates that are nocturnal.
Nesting sea turtles, which rely on the reflection of light on the water from celestial bodies to guide them to the ocean, can be disoriented by unnatural lights around beaches, resulting in fatal dehydration or predation.
"We've found sea turtles in elevator shafts," said Rachel Tighe, lighting project manager at Sea Turtle Conservancy, a Florida-based nonprofit funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. For the animals, she added, "it's confusion and chaos."
And humans are affected, too. While the health implications of unnatural light are still being investigated, research has linked light pollution to obesity, depression, sleep disorders, diabetes, and cancer.
"We know that if you start to shift temperatures you have really profound impacts on organisms across ecosystems, so you would imagine that if we start to mess with light cycles, we might have similarly profound impacts," said Professor Kevin Gaston, a light pollution expert at the University of Exeter, in the UK. "We're all ultimately dependent on this stuff for our very existence."
Unlike other environmental issues like climate change and deforestation, the problem of light pollution could be curbed overnight — by turning off the lights.
In 2020, the small town of Crestone, Colorado, switched off its streetlights when it ran out of money to pay the electricity bill. At night, the streets were dark, but the sky above was bright with stars.
"At the next meeting (of the Board of Trustees), someone said, 'You know, we kind of like it dark,'" recalled Kairina Danforth, mayor of Crestone at the time. Inspired to preserve natural darkness, the town decided to leave the streetlights off.
Soon, Crestone became one of a growing number of towns around the world officially recognized as a Dark Sky community by DarkSky International, an organization that promotes the battle against light pollution.
"We are probably the only Dark Sky community in the world that has no residential lights because they couldn't afford to pay the bill," said Danforth. "Now there's a strong communal support for our dark sky."
As Crestone, and the residents of New York City in 1977, can attest, a total blackout will bring back the stars instantaneously. But efforts to tackle light pollution need not be so extreme to make a big difference, said Ruskin Hartley, CEO of DarkSky International.
"The solutions are simple," he said, "and they don't involve giving up anything apart from bad quality lighting."
Light pollution experts abide by the mantra: "keep it low, keep it shielded, keep it long." In other words, ensure that lighting is low to the ground, that it is targeted to avoid light leaking in all directions, and, if possible, that it has a long wavelength, typically observed as amber colored. Finally, turn lights off when they're not needed.
Some communities are following DarkSky's recommendations by retrofitting their lighting fixtures to reduce light pollution, or simply turning off more lights. DarkSky International has worked with communities and nature reserves in 22 countries to provide support and give official accreditation to areas that have made positive changes. Nearly 300 areas are now accredited.
In 2022, DarkSky, in collaboration with the Czech Republic, developed a European policy brief on reducing light pollution, recommending that "all light should have a clear purpose," that it "should be directed only to where needed," and that it "should be no brighter than necessary." The brief suggests using current EU legislative frameworks — on biodiversity, climate change, and energy efficiency — to push for light pollution mitigation measures.
As of October 2022, 20 pieces of nationwide legislation that concern the mitigation of light pollution had been introduced in nine member states of the European Union since 2000, according to the Czech Republic's Ministry of the Environment.
Countries are further incentivized by potential economic advantages. Electric-powered indoor and outdoor lights consume 17% to 20% of global electricity production, according to the European policy brief, and cutting usage means cutting costs. Areas with dark skies are also benefitting from astrotourism, a growing trend in which tourists travel to stargaze in locations with lower levels of light pollution.
"(Under) the stars are the places we told our first stories," said Hartley. "For many communities, these have been erased and lost because of the scourge of light pollution. But more and more are starting to recover and rediscover this."
Wildlife is benefitting, too. The Sea Turtle Conservancy has changed over 30,000 lights and estimates it has darkened over 45 miles of nesting beach in Florida since 2010, possibly saving as many as tens of thousands of hatchlings. "It's really cool to be able to see such a change so quickly," Tighe said.
Despite positive changes, stemming light pollution is an uphill battle.
Even in some parts of Chile's Atacama Desert, one of the darkest places on Earth, you can now see a distant glow emanating from nearby La Serena, one of the country's fastest-growing cities, said Hartley.
"You can't escape it anymore, and it is just a product of waste and ignorance," he added. "How can we get more people to care about this?"
For Rao, who was 21 on the night that the Milky Way appeared above his house in the Bronx, and is now 68, optimism for the fate of our skies is at an all-time low. "I'm beginning to wonder whether anybody is going to be able to see a good dark sky anymore, 30, 40 years from now," he said. "It's very, very sad."
But as the movement to save the dark grows, there is still a faint hope that a star-studded future is possible.

the copypasta in question:
Oh my god (And by god I mean my goddess Colette) do I crave the pixelated perfection of the genius that gifted us the most precious gifts of all, Colette. There is no point in talking how important Colette is to me, and how I would do anything to be with uher, but I feel like if Im not gonna say what I would to do get her (literally anything) I'm disrespecting her this way. So hear me out.
I would conquer all of world, kill billions of humans, learn 20 languages, work 17 hours of 24 there are in a day, become the richest person in the world,personally killing all the rich ones right now, including feeding Elon Musk to the dogs, ripping Bill Jobs apart, sending Mark Zuckerberg to his true evolutionary form,that is of a Lizard, castrating and beating Jeff Bezos to death, and personally setting on fire Bernard Arnault. I would literally overthrow governments worldwide, uniting the world under communism, just to create her into life. I would personally orchestrate 50 global revolutions with nothing in my mind but an ultimate goal, no, not just goal, the true purpose of my life, just to get a minute with white haired beauty that the mortals have named Colette. I would sacrifice anything to get her. Family? Pfft. I would sell my mother if it meant getting 20% closer to my ultimate goal.
Im like sisyphus, except unlike him, once I reach my goal, and I definitely will, I will achieve my last true form and a total peace of mind. Knowing that there is nothing standing in our way, and assuring that our long relationship will last millions of years, humanity has since my takeover reached the third level of civilization, i.e type III,(capable of using the energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy) and mortality has been long cured, and humans now live millions of years. Just watch me. AND ANYBODY WHO WILL DARE TO STAND IN MY WAY,BE WARNED,I WILL NOT HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS. IM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT JUST KILLING THAT FRICK EDGAR, THAT THEY ALWAYS SHIP COLETTE WITH,SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE HIM! I want to taste her titties. I want to wake up everyday with her next to me. I want to have eleven beautiful children with Colette. four blonde girls, four brown haired, one black haired, and a beautiful boy.

Hecko! 
Not required reading but this is a follow-up to the Iskall85 Drama

https://rdrama.net/post/338501/quick-update-for-iskall85-controversy-marseybooba
Iskall85 is a famous Minecraft YouTuber who has been in controversy recently for daring to e-flirt with adult women in private (yes really)
For more info check the two attached threads above.
In addition to LITTERALLY raping women online, Iskall also has been developing his own Minecraft Modpack called Vault Hunters, which is apparently quite the unique and expansive modpack, which Iskall has claimed to have spent 'Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in development'. Which is obviously funded by his and other collaborators YouTube series on the pack.
However in light of the recent controversy involving Iskall, The Lead Artist of the Vault Hunters Project "Kumara" has written a hit piece document on Iskall on the horrid working conditions they face.
IT IS 123 PAGES LONG OF UNHINGED BPD DRIBBLE 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2zSSeaUHiKZQbpWV7kGx0uI88bPupFrqIlalaUiH3c/edit?tab=t.0
Let @BussyBoy here take you through the highlights of this hilarious novella of a mental schism
PAGE 1
So as you will soon find out, this person is a fricking nut-case and as a result has been fired from their position as "Lead Art B-word", Vault Hunters has come out and stated that she's left the project and she doesn't represent them anymore... However Kumara seems to be a bit confused here on the rights of the art assets they have made already.
Somehow this b-word thinks it's illegal to publicly say they fired her, because some art of hers is still in the game. And therefore she still "represents Vault Hunters".
Listen b-word you got commissioned to make some textures, you do not suddenly own the store. 
Now I want to ask you rdrama, how would you start your hit piece on someone? Lay out the simple facts you intent to prove? A brief overview?
WRONG!!!
You need to list out your mental illnesses.
Also this one is funny, I AM LITTERALLY SHAKINGG
PAY ME 3 BILLION DOLLARS NAOW
Imagine for a second your enjoying your holiday when the ArtHoe you hired to make minecraft textures such as these:
Suddenly DM's you asking for 3000 dollars
Now rightfully I'd want to question how the art you've made has taken 300 500 hours, but whatever.
Iskall doesn't fight it or challenge the figure, instead he agrees to pay her the 3k but rightfully says that "its my fault for not agreeing a price beforehand" and that he would like to instead pay per asset in the future instead of the crystal ball of whatever the frick pricing. (obviously)
HOW DARE HE! This is manipulation !!!
Immediately after this she quotes the definition of a "micro aggression" (no im not kidding lmao)
Now Iskall and the dev team is small, after all it is a MC Modpack, and Iskall is aware of this and states it clearly.
HOWEVER....
This lady then goes on to complain that Iskall uses the word "deadline" and "return on investment" which are evil business words, what a contradiction am I right! ARE YOU A BIG BUSSINESS OR NOT ISKALL!?!!?!?!?!?!?
YOU USE WORDS LIKE.... DEADLINE and..... WORK!!?!?
She thinks this is a form of gaslamping
MORE FRICKING MONEY THE GREEDY C*NT
Iskall asks the ArtHoe to just whip together a simple pack logo as the one the currently have looks bad, For those unfamiliar with Minecraft, this is an example of what his asking for
What does art how want?
3,000 USD
I WONDER WHY!!! hahahahahahaha
Trigger Warning/ Sexual Harrsement /srs
Iskall is Swedish, English is a second language to him.
it's so abundantly clear he means kitty as in kittycat.
This is genuine insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now on to the lack of getting any work done at all.
given reason... You guessed it.
BONUS ROUND
She decided to trauma dump about her abuse to her boss.
Ironically Iskall reminders her that if she feels mistreated by him to let him know.
How kind and courteous of the man... I hope you dont end up writing a 123 schizo doc on him. instead of just speaking to him.
oh wait.
I didn't realize he was... le manipulating.
I would like you to pay attention to the dates here, because currently we are at Decmember 2022
Suddenly we are jumping to AUGUST 2023, 8 MONTHS LATER!
Why?? what happened in those 8 months?
(This message is from the start of the haitus)
THEY HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN AT HAVING TO DRAW SPRITES FOR MONEY.
And during those 8 months they did no work for Iskall, only occasionally updating him on her mental situation, with Iskall kindly asking... when are you able to do work again.... (FRICKING BUTTHOLE WHAT A FRICKING B-WORD DOESNT HE CARTE WTFTYEDWBDWD AGGHHH 
)
Eventually Iskall stop responding to this lady, because all she would do is fricking trauma dump to this youtuber who makes Minecraft videos, and unironically has better shit to do.
I'm not going to fill your screens with screencaps of the messages, but there are pages of them. Its fricking embarrassing.
But this one is pretty funny.
Eventually Iskall 5 months into her trauma sabbatical he asks her how things are going
She responds with a photo of her, says more about thearpy,
iskall responds "aww that sucks"
and then ghosts her again. 
DO YOUR FRICKING JOB HOLY SHIT!
I need to really make this clear that there are so many fricking pages of this b-word complaining about her mental problems, and how iskall tried to comfort her at first but after months of this shit gave up and started ignoring her.
In between pages of pseudointellectual psychoanalysis of Iskall's mental state on how this is abuse. I really mean it. Check this out!
ALL OF THESE MESSEGES ARE ABOUT TRAUMA WITH NO RESPONSE.
I'm starting to think Iskall does have a problem with women,
he doesn't know when to tell them to frick off.
Also quick notice that while I've been writing this document, the hit piece I'm reading from has gone from 123 pages down to 59. IN REAL TIME.
Is this a case of schizophrenia George Lucas editing, or legal threats. Who knows.
Conclusion
I have left a lot of stuff out because it either isn't funny it is purely just deranged ramblings.
But as you can imagine Iskall eventually had enough of them not doing work within deadlines, asking exorbitant prices, and spending 8 months doing nothing so eventually was removed from the project
And despite them hit peicing Iskall specifically as the lead of the project, it seems there was a mass agreement with the rest of the devs were sick of their shit.
Literally keep yourself safe foid.
ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT THERE ARE STRAGGOTS READING THIS THREAD THAT WOULD STILL HAVE S*X WITH WOMEN.

@inevitablewest with 200k followers is actually an Indian creepto scammer

of course it's a paki paper lmao, copy &&pasted :
The mastermind behind the right-wing X, formerly Twitter, account 'Inevitable West' has been exposed as an alleged Indian crypto scammer and political grifter following a major blunder.
Saurabh Chandrakar, linked to the controversial Mahadev betting app, mistakenly promoted the app on his main social media account, inadvertently leading to his identification. This error sparked online investigations, which uncovered his alleged involvement in a massive money-laundering operation connected to the app.
According to Indian news outlets, Chandrakar, a prominent figure behind the Mahadev betting app, is currently under house arrest in Dubai after being detained following an Interpol-issued Red Notice. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India is actively seeking his extradition to face charges related to money laundering, with estimates suggesting the illicit proceeds could amount to ₹6,000 crore (approximately $680 million). His case has become more complex as it is allegedly linked to several high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats in Chhattisgarh. So far, 11 individuals have been arrested, and two charge sheets have been filed.
The Mahadev app has become a focal point of controversy, drawing attention to Chandrakar's background. Reports suggest that he, along with business partner Ravi Uppal, allegedly ran the app as part of a larger scheme that defrauded thousands of people. The scale of the operation has raised further questions, particularly after reports surfaced of Chandrakar hosting a lavish wedding in Dubai.
In addition to his business dealings, Chandrakar gained notoriety on social media under the pseudonym 'Inevitable West,' where his account quickly gained traction. X users noticed a rapid surge in followers, with some speculating that his posts were picked up by high-profile individuals, including Elon Musk, which allegedly contributed to his skyrocketing popularity.
