:bluelight:Code-hosting website Codeberg attacked by far right extremists :redlight:

Codeberg released an emergency statement regarding a powerful alt right attack that endangered the safety of everyone who has ever used codeberg. Sources say this is was probably organized by a DOGE-Steve Bannon alliance

We stay strong against hate and hatred

Codeberg public relations team

Wed 12 February 2025

Category: Announcement

:marsey: Intro

Codeberg is currently suffering from hate campaigns due to far-right forces, and so are our users. First and foremost, we apologize for everyone who has recently received a notification email from our system containing offending and potentially traumatizing content. We are working hard on containing the effects on our users and systems.

Most importantly, your private data was not leaked. All emails have been generated through Codeberg's servers using the notification feature and the abusers had no access to your email address directly.

Fighting hate and far-right forces is important to us. Read to the end of this article to learn why.


:marseyconfused2: What has happened?

In the past days, several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights on Codeberg have been subject to hate attacks, such as massive spam of abusive messages in their issue trackers. We have been monitoring the situation closely and have tried to clean up the content as quickly as possible.

Often, content remained available only for a few and up to 30 minutes. Due to constrained personal capacities, some rare cases have remained online for longer. We appreciate all your reports to [email protected] that help us identify abuse quickly.

On 12 February 2025, an abuser has escalated the attacks to a next level. Instead of targetting individual projects, they have started to create abusive content and mentioned Codeberg users in chunks of 100 each. Depending on the notification settings of users (if you are a user on Codeberg, you can modify it in your settings), these generate notification emails that contain a copy of the post that includes the mention - and thus the abusive content via email.

Although our staff reacted quickly, blocked access to the used functionality and deleted the user accounts, they managed to generate a large amount of notification emails already.

Since this attack is not only harming Codeberg users but the platform itself, both via technical means (we had brief downtime of our systems and our mail server was suffering a lot), as well as by harming the reputation of our platform and trust users have shown us. We expect this incident to be in response to our swift moderation of the previous campaigns that targeted only individual projects.


:marseypearlclutch2: How could this happen?

Please understand that Codeberg.org is driven by volunteers mostly. We have sufficient capacity to run the platform under normal conditions, and normal conditions also include some headway to deal with abuse campaigns that come and go. We suppose that most readers did not notice the spam campaigns of the past days, and we are happy that we managed to contain them quickly. We are fighting with advertisement spam, phishing and malware week to week.

However, our capacity was obviously exhausted this time, when it comes to attacks that target us specifically. And we apologize for this.

You might wonder why there are not more technical countermeasures in place to prevent this type of abuse. Technical measures evolve over time, and we have implemented several protections on multiple levels that are trying to contain the amount of abuse you see day to day.

However, doing proper rate-limiting is hard. We need to ensure that legitimate usage of our API and interface is possible, including custom scripts that import or synchronize massive amounts of issues from projects on other platforms. There are some rate-limits tailored to the previous abuse vectors we have seen, which was mostly aggressive advertizing, and so it would not have been possible to create these massive postings if they would have contained a hyperlink to another website, for example.

However, just spamming notification emails to users is a new abuse vector to us, and we did not sufficiently prepare for this. For that, we are sorry.


:marseywait: What will Codeberg do?

Currently, we are investigating the details of the attack and we have implemented short-term countermeasures and monitor activity on the platform closely. Further, we are responding to hundreds of emails from our users that ask about the incident. Some request the deletion of their data in response.

Next up, we will make plans on how to improve our protection against this and future kinds of abuse attacks on Codeberg itself to reduce the likelihood of similar things from ever happening again.

If you want to help with development work on Forgejo, the free/libre and open source software that powers Codeberg, please reach out. Go developers who can commit some time and patience to implement one our more technical measures in the codebase are much appreciated.

Unrelated to the current incident, we have worked with NLnet in the past weeks and secured funding for some moderation cowtools. A meeting was scheduled for later today at 20.00 CET to talk about technical architecture for a feature that allows reporting abuse directly in the app and the goal is to implement it for the next release of Forgejo.


:soyjakhipster:Far-right forces endanger free/libre software projects

We will not be discouraged in our fight against far-right ideologies. They are currently on the rise in many parts of the world, and we believe it is important to protect all kinds of marginalized groups. However, if you believe this does not affect your project, you are wrong. Far-right forces pose a threat to all of us.

Extreme right forces actively target members of our communities and discriminate based on ethnicity and gender, political background, sexual orientation, disabilities, nationality and faith. However diversity is an important asset in free/libre software communities and it is what makes our software great and development productive.

By targetting (Editor's note: Codeberg can't afford a spell checker) some of our most active translators, nicest designers, best developers and all other motivated contributors, they are hurting the free/libre software ecosystem as a whole.

Don't be fooled if right-wing forces promise to "promote open source" in their political agenda. This has nothing to do with the values of our movement! This is about national patriotism and protectionism, and they will happily accept splitting our community on their way.

We all know that the free/libre software ecosystem won't work this way. Every human is an integral and equally important part of it, and targetting some of our community members threatens the ecosystem as a whole.

Let's together stay strong and united against the emerging threats. We stay strong against discrimination of all kind, including but not limited to sexism, transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism and ableism. And we hope that you all join us for this mission.

A big shout-out to all the projects that collect facts and resources against hate and discrimination and that have been the primary goal of these attacks. Support them if you can.

If you ever considered supporting the fight against right-wing forces, for example by joining political movements and parties, organizing protests or getting involved in online communities with this goal - now might be the best time to move ahead.


Again, we apologize for the disruption of your work and the abusive content delivered to your mailboxes. We are doing our best to contain the situation.

We'd like to thank everyone who signaled their support in the current situation, via e-mail, Mastodon and in Matrix chats. This means a lot to us.

Thank you for your trust and support!

Your Codeberg Public Relations team

PLAGIARISM DISCLAIMER:

Greetings Dramatards :marseywave2:

If any of these exact storybeats ever sound familiar, it's because I plagiarized most/all of it from a longform Afrikaans Calvinist article (which in turn probably plagiarized it from some more famous English sources), which my father had excitedly desired me to read during the 2024 December holidays. The vast majority of the article revolved around a Calvinist introspection about self-deceit, and how History and politics is shaped by how people record and perceive historic events both during and after key happenings. Very long and boring.

But the incredible and exciting part my father wanted to showcase me, was a chapter regarding the infamous Tulip Mania period, which occurred during 1634-1637 in Holland, during the zenith of Dutch colonial and economic power, when the Dutch was by far the most prosperous nation on earth, when taken into account their meagre population and size, due to the astronomical wealth generated by the Dutch, due to the infamous VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) or Dutch East India Company, perhaps one of the wealthiest private enterprises in all of human history.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921985K-gVb1p925Qjjg.webp .

During the period, one of history's 1st and most well documented Speculative Bubbles occurred, when seemingly the entire Dutch nation state was beset by a fervent mania from all sectors of society. Rich merchants and poor farmers would buy the new fad, Tulips imported from Turkey & China, at increasingly outrageous sums of money, for the sake of selling these (at the time) rare imported plants, which the Dutch didn't know how to perfectly cultivate, so it wasn't a gaurantee that you could just make more of them once you bought rare tulips for literal prince's ransoms!

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921984vRRsG7FFnV6hkw.webp

These tulips, which at 1st were bought, because they were the showing-off fad for the turbo wealthy new Merchant-class of the state, were then bought for the sake of selling at ever increasingly higher prices, which in turn made the tulip a fad for wealth accruement instead! Eventually, inevitably, as we can all predict, prices eventually went down, which burst the speculative bubble, and the prices went into freefall, and fortunes were wiped out of existence, as these once prince's ransom priced foreign flowers, became......priced at the rate of regular funny and unusual foreign flowers! :marseymidsommardani: :marseymidsommardani: :marseymidsommardani: :marseysunflower: :carpflorist: :marseydarkrose2: :marseyza: :marseyroses: :marseyflower: :marseyrosepink: :marseyrosered: :marseyfoxgloveyourself: :marseysocratesyourself: :marseydarkrose3:


SHORT STORY INTRO:

When Tulips arrived in Holland, it was said that the !dutch completely lost their senses. There was an infamous story about a sailor whom had been at sea long enough, to have been completely kept in the dark about Tulip Mania in Holland, and having been out of touch with the latest political/social news of his home country, as many VOC voyages could take literally as much 2 full years to complete! Of course as the Silk sailing routes were established, these timeframes reduced to less than 1 year - but still long enough to be out of tune with the country's latest excapades!

https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/or13xl/how_long_did_it_take_a_dutch_merchant_sailing/h6fovy7/?context=8

Anyways, the late 1630s a dutch sailor, whom had just disembarked, had went to the owner of the goods his vessel had transported, to notify him his shit had just arrived. Gratified by this good news, the merchant rewarded the sailor with a breakfast. On the large table on which the merchant had given the sailor his meal, at one end there had laid what looked like a red onion :marseyleekspin: :marseyleekspin: :marseyleekspin:

The sailor took the onion for seasoning on his bread, and GTFO'd out of the merchant's storehouse to go and find a private spot to go eat his meal in peace. Never in his wildest imagination would he think this act would cause him such grievous misery. Just as the sailor had left, the merchant discovered to his horror, that an invaluable :marseycoin: :moneypile: :marseygolden2: imported Augustus tulip bulb was MISSING :marseyscream: which at the height of Tulip Mania was worth a whole commercial farm on its own.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17389219856xSvNJEpgvCJUw.webp

The merchant and staff ripped the storehouse asunder in their angst, looking for the missing invaluable Augustus Tulip. Eventually someone remembered the sailor being the most recent stranger in the storehouse, and the goon squad proceeded rake apart the entire port looking for him :ragejak: :ragejak: :ragejak:

They found the hapless, luckless, unfortunate & clueless sailor having already eaten the fricking tulip bulb, and proceeded to try and strangle him alive :ragestrangle: :ragestrangle: :ragestrangle: He was imprisoned for his crime!


CHARLES MACKAY:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921985hx9T-hk7sONRJQ.webp

This infamous story, about the insanity of the Tulip Mania, comes from a very famous economic writer & journ*list Charles Mackay (27 March 1814 – 24 December 1889). In his magnum opus, the book called "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" he wrote about what he termed "Crowd Psychology" & "National Delusions".

The book consists of a series of short stories about a myriad of events in the past, but the topics are all united in the mass delusion or hysteria of crowds/nation-states, or mass adoption of fads and hysteria by groups of people. The stories covered things like the large scale witch-burnings across europe, the fad and obsession with the fake science of alchemy (turning iron into gold) and hysteria about haunted buildings.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921985yK2H-p6faMu7og.webp

!bookworms The book had become immediately successful, and continued to garner infamy well beyond Charles Mackay's death - he had a strong grasp of engaging storytelling. But the parts of "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" which really REALLY :marseycruisemissile: :marseycruisemissile: :marseycruisemissile: :marseynyanisrael: :marseynyanisrael: :marseynyanisrael: propelled Charles Mackay into infamy, was his chapters about Speculative Bubbles - specifically his 3 chapters of infamous about Speculative Bubbles known before his time.

Each of the 3 chapters revolved around a particulour economic disaster, brought about by lunatics overinvesting or speculating upon companies/stocks/products well WELL beyond their realistically graded values. They were the South Sea Company bubble of 1711–1720, the Mississippi Company bubble of 1719–1720, and of course the famous Dutch tulip mania! :marseymidsommardani: :marseymidsommardani: :marseymidsommardani: :marseymidsommardani: :marseymidsommardani:


THREE CHAPTERS ECONOMISTS LOOK UP TO: :marseyopera: :marseyopera: :marseyopera:

While the rest of the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" would be largely forgotten as interesting and entertaining reads for a book from 1840, the 3 chapters on Speculative Bubbles would reach such incredible infamy in the Economists world, that a very large amount of people would reference it historically.

Present-day writers on economics, such as Michael Lewis and Andrew Tobias, lauded the three chapters on economic bubbles.

====(from the WashingtonPost article)

C.S. Lewis once asked himself if anyone could actually write a story as magical as that title. To me, Charles Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" possesses an almost equally evocative power. First published in 1841 and expanded in 1852, it chronicles some of the many varieties of human folly, obsession and self-delusion. Here, in fact, are the deep taproots of the credulity and lemming-like behavior that characterize today's social media.

More recently, economic writers such as Andrew Tobias and Michael Lewis have championed the book. Overall, one might characterize Mackay's work as popular history, conveyed in a tone of ironic, head-shaking amusement.

====(end quote)

Many people unironically considered Tulip Mania as a Classic for Economic History for the longest period. The book is so famous that non-historian economist-Journ*lists cite Mackay whenever there is a recent fraud or Speculative Bubble implosion occurring; like the recent Bitcoin and Shitcoin and NFT :monke: :monke: :monke: :marseywallst: :marseywallst: :marseywallst: Bubble implosion which has dominated headlines in economic forums and newsfeeds, when FTX caused a chain-reaction of wiping out untold millions and billions of wealth out of existence.

TULIP MANIA AND CALVINIST PROPAGANDA: :marseymegaphone: :marseymegaphone: :marseymegaphone:

The only problem for this internationally critically acclaimed book about Tulip Mania? It's complete absolute total bullshit, or in the very least heavy propaganda! The short story about the Dutch Sailor mistaking the tulip bulb for an onion? Complete fabrication .

The issue for Mackay wasn't that he was a deliberate liar, but that he had taken his primary sources, which were overwhelmingly Dutch Calvinist propaganda leaflets and articles, at absolute face value. Many good historians go to great lengths to decipher primary sources, written during contemporary times about events, to determine how bias from the authors could fabricate or contaminate their view of events. Mackay literally straight up consumed Dutch Calvinist Propaganda leaflets as they were!


PROPAGANDA LEAFLETS:

So what exactly was the deal with Calvinists? What the heck do they have to do with anything? Well Calvinists were relatively conservative for their contemporary timeframe, and the feared the new era of Holland having accrued so much unthinkable wealth, more than any nation-state before had ever known to have accumulated so fast and in such an incredible short timespan.

:carppolycarp: :marseyklennypriest: :marseyorthodox: :marseyfatherjoseph:

They feared and believed that all of this wealth of the Merchant-class was rotting and decaying society. They feared that this new trend of consumerism and speculation on stocks was leading to societal downfall. Dutch society had underwent intense transformation in the past 100 years in that moment in time.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921986JAv1xv89uDdfNA.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921986Ybye6erJLlUsNw.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921986LtvXvMVfUmGolw.webp

So they had created stories with near-comical carrecatures of people, where the common theme was greed and avarice being the downfall of everyone involved.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921987MeIv5nJzUU4EFA.webp


FICTION VS BORING REALITY:

According to Charles Mackay, which took the Calvinist Propaganda at face value, the Tulip Mania was so extreme during 1637, that all levels of Dutch society went completely batshit. Other sectors of the economy went neglected, and so much was invested into Tulip Mania, it was as if Holland was expending during a World War time economy! Everybody from nobles, to wealthy merchants, to poor farmhands, were borrowing recklessly to get in upon this wealth craze.

https://hcmwealthadvisors.com/market-insights/picking-tulips-or-market-insights-for-week-ending-aug-9-2019

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921985MJUEbVLDXohipQ.webp

According to Mackay those left holding the bag were either bankrupt, or even fricking worse - in deep debt!

In the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" you can read of people losing their minds and selling their most valuable possessions to buy or speculate on a few Tulip bulbs. Mackay gives the example, in his story covering Tulipmania, of one particularly unhinged Dutchman, who exchanges 12 acres of land for ONE fricking Augustus Tulip Bulb! :marseytrollcrazy:


https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921987eOnqVc1WmX22aw.webp

The reality is much more dull - in fact the scale of the Tulip Mania, may have been completely fricking overblown due to Mackay's book, which has been in the public international consciousness for the past 200 years. No record of even ONE bankruptcy could even be confirmed by Dutch historians as due to Tulipmania, during the period of 1634-1637.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/there-never-was-real-tulip-fever-180964915/

====(from Smithsonian)

Here's where the myth comes into play. According to this narrative, everyone from the wealthiest merchants to the poorest chimney sweeps jumped into the tulip fray, buying bulbs at high prices and selling them for even more. Companies formed just to deal with the tulip trade, which reached a fever pitch in late 1636. But by February 1637, the bottom fell out of the market. More and more people defaulted on their agreement to buy the tulips at the prices they'd promised, and the traders who had already made their payments were left in debt or bankrupted.

In fact, "There weren't that many people involved and the economic repercussions were pretty minor," Goldgar says. "I couldn't find anybody that went bankrupt. If there had been really a wholesale destruction of the economy as the myth suggests, that would've been a much harder thing to face."

That's not to say that everything about the story is wrong; merchants really did engage in a frantic tulip trade, and they paid incredibly high prices for some bulbs. And when a number of buyers announced they couldn't pay the high price previously agreed upon, the market did fall apart and cause a small crisisβ€”but only because it undermined social expectations.

====(end quote)

In fact only a small fraction of Dutch society even partook in the Tulipmania, and usually only the upper-middle rich Merchant classes. Less than 5% of the whole population even bought a tulip at any point, and when the bubble burst, those whom lost money were those least vulnerable from bankruptcy. While losing half your wealth is a serious hit, these Dutch merchants were so filthy stinking rich by the mid 1640s, they literally didn't care!

Additionally, the reality was that most dutch Merchant-class bought tulips as a show of wealth, it was a demonstration of their cosmopolitan and urbane manner to show off amongst all of their straggy rich merchant friends. The majority of Tulip buyers and speculators never even expected to make money, it was like wealthy influencers and Hollyweird freaks buying branded crap like Nike shoes or Rolex watches to show off their wealth.

IN FACT, there exists something called the law of Veblen Goods, where things become sought after BECAUSE they are morbidly expensive, because they are literal "show-off" goods! (Rolexes, Ferari, ect)

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921986JOpPf4bNvMPwig.webp

Which is what some economists believe is likely what actually happened, rather than a true Speculative Bubble like Bitcoin and Shitcoin. Or even the other 2 Speculative Bubbles which Mackay included in his book, which were much closer in reality to nation wealth destroying events.

This doesn't mean that Tulipmania DIDN'T happen, or that many peeps lost wealth, but it has been vastly overstated, in large part BECAUSE of Mackay's book.


THE REAL DRAMA REGARDING CHARLES MACKAY! :marseytrain: :marseytrain: :marseytrain: :marseytrain: :marseytrain: :marseytrain: :marseytrain:

Now the 2nd point of drama for Charles Mackay in recent times is the fact that despite his incredible infamy about his internationally successful book regarding mass mania and hysteria and fad following by crowds, and especially his famous chapters regarding Speculative insanity, was that he HIMSELF was likely a turbo midwit fool who fell head over heels for a Speculative Bubble in his own contemporary times, during which he lived!!!

Mackay was a popular economic newspaper columnist in 1841 when he wrote the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". And what's incredible is that not even one mention is made about what is likely THE most economically destructive Speculative Bubble in all of recorded human history so far, and which vastly outstrips the scale of even large bubbles like Shitcoin and even frauds like Enron and the Theranos fraud, which eviscerated billions and billions of wealth into nothingness.

Mackay our expert in Speculative Bubbles not only lived through the 1840s Britain Railway Mania, which destroyed wealth on an unfathomable scale, but never so much as makes a fricking peep about them!

1840s RAILWAY MANIA: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_Mania

By the time the 1840s had arrived, Bongland :marseybong: was at the height of its colonial power, and industrialization. And Bongland was leading European states in terms of industrializing its entire society and economy with new fabulous technologies. The most significant was the Railway and Train. :marseytrain: :marseytrain: :marseytrain: A transport technology which completely terraformed society to the same degree as radio or the internet had done during their respective timeframes.

People understood how significant the wide adoption of Railroads were becoming, and the technological improvements to the steam engine continued every consecutive year. Entrepreneurs flocked to Railroad and Transport companies, as they correctly predicted that Railways would quite literally trailblaze :onfire: :onfire: :onfire: :onfire: :onfire: the economy of britain and her colonies. The issue, is that they vastly, VASTLY overpredicted the actual economic output and influence railways & trains would have upon Bongland's economy, well beyond human reason.

https://www.focus-economics.com/blog/railway-mania-the-largest-speculative-bubble-you-never-heard-of/

====(from Focus article)

By the mid-1840s, the economy was improving and the manufacturing industries were once again growing. The Bank of England cut interest rates, making government bonds less attractive investments, and existing railway companies' shares began to boom as they moved ever-increasing amounts of cargo and people, making people willing to invest in new railways.

And at its peak, railway investmentβ€”which lagged a few years behind planning applicationsβ€”surged to 7% of GDP, representing half of total investment in the economy at the time. :marseychartuptrend: :marseychartuptrend: :marseychartuptrend: :marseychartuptrend:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738921987jNj7xNfMn0XMig.webp

But even MORE INSANE about our boi Mackay wasn't just that he DIDN'T foresee the Speculative Bubble of the 1840s Railway Mania, despite his book on Mass Hysterias, or that he cheerled the overspending on Speculating on Railroad bonds for his fricking readers whom trusted him implicitly in his articles for the Glasgow Argus, BECAUSE of his fame for the book of the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", instead THIS MOTHERLOVER was even on the fringes of the extreme end in terms of being a nutjob Speculator for the Railroad bond market!!!!!!!!

The short story was that Britain is a relatively small island(s) and there just wasn't enough villages, cities, ports or key-points to connect via railway to make economic return upon such gratuitous overinvestment. These railroad companies would build connections between big cities and tiny Bongistan villages of like 50 people, which as you can well imagine, didn't exactly accrue trade to the scope of London to Paris.........

Just like modern China now finding out that they have likely overspent on infrastructure, where tiny villages have been connected to Beijing via 6-lane superhighways. When inevitably the grotesque overspending did not yield appropriate economic activity return from laying Railways across every square-meter of the entire fricking British Isles, the usual Bubble tanking underwent the usual market bottom falling routine.

An unlike the Tulip Mania, the Railroad mania DID influence the entirety of Bonland's economy and social fabric. Rich AND poor people alike invested recklessly, many upon fricking Mackay's advice, and many faced bankruptcy, and worse massive debt :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2: :marseychartdowntrend2:

IN FACT, just to demonstrate how badly people got burned from the 1847 Railroad Mania crash, there was something called Company Scrips. Where for example you paid only 5$ for a Scrip in a 100$ share, and if the 100$ share doubled its value into 200$, you just made 100$ from 5 bucks Unfortunately for all the hapless midwits who bought into this terrible scheme, Scrips worked fricking BOTH ways. Many peeps put themselves into absurd debt for just fricking 5 bucks!

Gym Body dysmorphia

not a πŸš‚ (maybe 🀨😟) but I just blew past my all time weight goal I set for myself, this is all after 6 years of on and off lifting, and I still feel skinny as heck. people around me start to look smaller it's weird. muscular dudes don't look as ripped as they used to

went from 6' 140lbs to 6' 180lbs. my goal was 170. Looking at it now makes me realize how skinny 170 was, I could legit make it over 200 if I try hard enough. I don't look muscular or anything. Nor fat. food amounts are shrinking too. I used to get full after 3/4 of one box of Mac and cheese and now I need two to feel full. oh and I'm not a total lightweight anymore

I'm not getting anymore attention from women than I did at my lowest weight which I kinda chuckle at. I tell myself maybe if I lift enough weights maybe a woman will love me haha. alas, crackhead me was peak me apparently

EFFORTPOST BPD Art Hoe releases 123 Page Document on how they were ABUSED with "having to do work" - An Analysis by BussyBoy :marseytwerkingfast:

Hecko! :marseywave2:


Not required reading but this is a follow-up to the Iskall85 Drama :marseyminer:

https://rdrama.net/post/338283/man-gets-executed-for-flirting-with

https://rdrama.net/post/338501/quick-update-for-iskall85-controversy-marseybooba


https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606238mAwxwTAH53cvMw.webp

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606238DYu3XIcksej3cw.webp

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 :marseyaware:

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606238snMaZT6_N2WjOg.webp

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. :marseyfacepalm:

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606238YbZ3XPxdXp2k_Q.webp

Also this one is funny, I AM LITTERALLY SHAKINGG :marseysnoo:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606238rz80oGjbnhVWTw.webp


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:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/173860623873y9eV9Rwsgwqg.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606238Yz6lUQ7RPSRzCA.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606242j7X2GO0Ags6Wdg.webp

Suddenly DM's you asking for 3000 dollars

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606242ydMC4LFEJT9w5A.webp

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 !!!

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17386062436GgzfKZ9xRAdOA.webp

Immediately after this she quotes the definition of a "micro aggression" (no im not kidding lmao)

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243cJuE4gvCEZjAPw.webp

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!!?!?

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243mj09vOtbw1VfRQ.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243-BgnDVs945ItKA.webp

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

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243C7IK_z4g2d0zTQ.webp

What does art how want?

I WONDER WHY!!! hahahahahahaha


Trigger Warning/ Sexual Harrsement /srs

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243LYguNJv3SyJn5w.webp

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243uWFxhb8gLaaDtQ.webp

BONUS ROUND

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243skfj5re_iEOSxQ.webp

She decided to trauma dump about her abuse to her boss.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606637vV7LPFWnGs9QtA.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243BBXsnaaszcWLpw.webp

Ironically Iskall reminders her that if she feels mistreated by him to let him know.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606243ZGsfTBfxzXUD8g.webp

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244KpaSvdEzVElCNA.webp

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?

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244mo6MxPsnVww2ag.webp (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 :marseyraging: )

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244TXtomfKiAnSvLA.webp

But this one is pretty funny.

Eventually Iskall 5 months into her trauma sabbatical he asks her how things are going

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244GJpO23_3cAqtYw.webp

She responds with a photo of her, says more about thearpy,

iskall responds "aww that sucks"

and then ghosts her again. :marseykneel: :marseykneel: :marseykneel:

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!

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244-sBxmZJGvCGC2w.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17386062446EgHyz0nVj71mA.webp

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

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17386062443JYd0ie1YaFxrQ.webp

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.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244htsQxFy4kW-NCg.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738606244n50WbIguoItsUA.webp

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.

The shove you into lockers meme makes me sperg out. Never happened. I was a bully, I know.

Amarna brought this archetype to my attention and I've never noticed it before. Seems like exclusively Millenials or dirtbag left types say "should have been shoved into a locker" or some variation with lockers. 100% drawn from the TV. Turn it off.

https://x.com/search?q=shove+locker&f=live

Not sure why it's so popular tbh. Trying some pop psych maybe it's peaked-in-high-school adults nostalgically hallucinating a higher status youth. Us vs the nerds. That, "dweeb" as insult and the lunch money thing compose the totally unreal 90s bully media tropes.

This stuff was never done, and the very online don't know it.
