There is a particular strata of pet ownership that is equivalent to a mental disorder. You reach it when you start equivocating non-human life to human life. (-7)

I have a lot of friends who unironically celebrate National Dog Mom's Day (the second Saturday each May) and actively maintain social media accounts for their pets. It's what you do when there is not much going on in your life. (-1)

Great observation. The more they oppose having children the more likely they have a pet. Yes, they are suppressing their urge to parent and coping with pets. They lack self awareness. The rise of antinatalism along with pet ownership in western society is not a coincidence. (-5)

You'll need that money:) since you'll be alone for a decade or two being cared for by people who hate you.  (-2)

See I think you are being open and honestly about your resentment towards child free people. I appreciate that you are honest of being hateful and jealous rather than the standard where people just pretend to be nice but are secretly bad mouthing you...Now then do you hate me because you are jealous, or do you take my personal choice as a condemnation of your choice?

There are so many shitty dogs out there. I don't believe people like you are holding on to this belief without any hint of misanthropy. I'm sad for whatever experiences you had that make you believe this, but happy for you to have found some solace in your pets. Still, I strongly disagree. Dogs can be awesome and people can be awful, but dogs don't even come close to being as great as people can be. (-3)

There aren't any shitty dogs. There are plenty of shitty owners.Just like there are plenty of shitty parents who raise shitty kids. (1)

Idk man, there's a limit to how responsible you are for your dog. I've never seen a dog rack up insane gambling debts and show up at your house for money, screaming to be let in and threatening violence. I've seen it twice with wasteman sons. (2)

only on twitter can women collectively complain about you being a “mean girl” while simultaneously screenshotting your tweets to gossip about you and NOT tag you

are you done being an emotional woman now? https://t.co/fKCJfog36G

MOST OF THIS SHIT IS DELETED DONT BAN ME FOR SCREEN POSTING

backstory: rayon sundress being sold for $120 by a trad grifter got everyone riled up a few days ago https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/evie-magazine-sundress-reviews-b2560784.html because they say it's ugly and a shit fabric and perhaps a little aliexpress for what it costs

the trad thirst baiter who (maybe?) made the dress called out the pickmeishas for pooping on her product but then got called out herself

it has devolved into some real juicy shit though !christians check out your boy

only on twitter can women collectively complain about you being a “mean girl” while simultaneously screenshotting your tweets to gossip about you and NOT tag you. are you done being an emotional woman now?

Don't worry miss, I would be a nasty and bitter hag too if my "Christian" husband was bragging about sleeping with other women online too, all the while bemoaning the "evils of the female s*x" 😂😂😂 Stop trying too hard, it's cringey.

why are you lying? He's never slept with another woman, just dated them 🙂

Ok I know I haven't been exactly friendly today but honestly this is sad. You shouldn't tolerate polygamy or polyamory in your marriage especially if you have children. You don't have to accept it. You deserve better than this.

I think you're misunderstanding something somewhere. a man that's Godly and a great provider should be able to led other women too. if you have a great man you should share him- though it's not for everyone as most men aren't strong enough to led even one woman

RadFemHitler weighs in and our cuckqueen chimes in with what sounds like a freudian slip :

That woman who's calling anyone who doesn't like the evie dress a fat wh*re is apparently in a polygamous marriage. You can't make these people up if you tried 😭

I wouldn't consider it polyamorous. he has individual relationships with each woman. it's not a collective relationship. that would be weird lol

Girl I said polygamous

top hits from that thread:

I'm sorry your husband sees you as a concubine while he goes out and fricks random whores but that doesn't mean you have to take it out on us for not liking the shitty dress

Everyone is so sad and embarrassed for you.

Can you imagine having to invent biblical fanfic to cope with the fact that your husband fricks other women

!r-slurs be careful out there, have a parent or guardian review things for you so you don't agree to become a cuck for no reason

Her adulterous husband isn't even polygamous, he just bangs random women bringing back any diseases he can(he admitted he doesn't test for STDs, probably gonna get his wife killed). She is English as a 2nd language and can't read the Bible apparently. He is going to heck. Sick.

!fellas this is literally her husband if you're an ugly dusty why are you not trad larping your way out of inceldom

bonus treat:

imagine being a grown woman on twitter and your feelings are hurt that someone said you “might have fat arms and buy Chevron print” like??????😂😂😂😂😂😂 maybe conservatives are weaker than we thought

Fat women still have loyal husbands that love them and you don't, lol

Sorry not sorry, but it's the truth. I have been in the dating scene in and out for the last 14 years and starting to realize men have become super weird and creepy these last 23 years ( post covid depression maybe?) with lot of them trying to groom young women and becoming more misogynist with lot of them straight saying dtf and unmatching if I refuse ( at least before they used to TRY by messaging/going out to dates).

Y'all really need therapy because that ain't normal and need to lower your expectations/learn how to socialize.

Men are getting weird

I was driving on the freeway when someone threw a rock my way and smashed my driver's side window. Luckily I had smash-and-grab proof windows so it didn't completely shatter. It's an old trick to get you to pull over and then you get robbed so I just kept driving with a smashed window and a racing heart. Frick, I'm a poorcel I can't afford to just fix my window. Luckily I didn't freak out and cause an accident. It's joever for my car for now.

Hi dramafrens!!

Have any of you heard of this obscure little indie game company called Valve? You may have heard of them from niche titles such as:

Half-Life

Portal

Only the biggest gaming platform of all time, Steam

But today we're talking about a game very close to my heart: Team Fortress 2! Valve's hit first person class-based team shooter is an iconic game, earning it a place of glory amongst all vidya and entrenching it in internet and meme culture, and even a somewhat recent meme trend depicting the TF2 characters as buff, totally heterosexual Wagnerite Ziggers has produced some of the shiniest gemeralds of all time

(video courtesy of @CREAMY_DOG_ORGASM_fan17)

It's really close to my all time favorite game and definitely my most played. Countless hours were sucked from my childhood as baby me learned to use my first slurs whenever I came across a particularly annoying enemy Demoman

Which is why it's all the sadder that I'm now talking about its spectacular fall from grace.

The Beginning of the End

Meet Your Match

TF2 had a reputation of being a quite regularly updated game, with a major content release happening around 3-5 times a year. Besides usual gripes from boomers these updates were pretty well received, and I certainly have held a positive view of almost all of them although that could just be me yearning for my teenage years.

However, on July 7th of 2016 the most controversial TF2 update to date released: Meet Your Match.

Before this update all TF2 players would play the game through a generic server browser. Valve ran their own public servers right alongside all the community made ones, and filtering for a server you wanted was incredibly easy and streamlined. You could filter by player count, full/empty, whether or not the server used the shitty Valve Anti-Cheat, whether custom decals were allowed, you name it. Everything was hosted on the server browser, it held everything from official Valve servers to servers run by the dregs of society. I fondly remember joining a server when I was about 11 running a map that had furry porn plastered all over the walls you never forget your first time, !furries.

So what did Meet Your Match change? Well, it didn't remove the server browser. Not outright. But it did take all official Valve-ran servers off the browser and move them into a shitty matchmaking system No longer could you filter for a specific Valve server running your favorite map, you now have to queue up for matchmaking in a party with up to five friends (no more just joining your friends through Steam or the server browser!), have a certain list of maps selected, and pray to god it lands you in a game within the next 15 minutes. Even worse, since the matchmaking system's job is to get you into a game by any means necessary, it could land you in a game with no players or a game about to end and switch maps to a shitty one you don't like. Additionally those official Valve servers got way shittier, due to the removal of the ability to switch teams, removal of sprays (basically the ability to plaster a custom image onto any surface you want ), and the increasingly outdated Valve Anti-Cheat system being easier to exploit by cheaters. Oh, and those five friends you get to party up with? They will only be on your team, meaning you can only have friendly competition with these friends if somebody gets auto-balanced (which remember is a necessity since you can't change teams manually to even the balance )

That server browser still exists, but it's been relegated to its own separate tab and no longer has any Valve-ran games on it. That would be fine if you don't like Valve servers, (and who would? ) but the average TF2 player is just going to hit “find game” and not bother with the server browser, leaving a bunch of half-empty, struggling community servers—not to mention that most of the community servers are shit themselves, but for other reasons; no way in heck am I downloading 13 trillion Touhou reskin mods just to play on a shitty weeb server!

The update understandably made a lot of people upset, me included! But we had no idea how much worse it was going to get.

Jungle Inferno, or, Pain of Neglect

Released on October 20th of 2017, Jungle Inferno was a pretty bog-standard update, as far as things go. A few new weapons, some balances, a few new maps which were mostly shitty, we've all heard it before. The problem? It was the last time Valve would do anything significant with the game. Any updates past Jungle Inferno were repeating seasonal events, and the last Saxxy Awards (the TF2 community's version of the Oscars, where people would create kino animations using Valve's Source Filmmaker) ever to be held to this date

“But Shelly,” you might ask, “you said there were still seasonal event updates! Surely stuff was being added then, right? ” Well, yes. But it wasn't Valve. Every Halloween and Christmas Valve would have some intern scour the top rated maps, cosmetics, weapon skins, and taunts from the community workshop. So surely game's health is in the community's hands, and doing alright, yes? Well…

All of this shit was just bad, frankly. Often times the skins had missing textures, the cosmetics were r-slurred and unwanted or even outright broken, the taunts didn't work, all things that could go weeks without being fixed. Besides, hats and skins don't affect the gameplay!

Well maps do affect the gameplay. But they were all shittier even than the skins! A prime example is Wutville, a community made Christmas map. I think I'll let this image of the first attacker spawn and the known bugs list speak for themselves.

So we have a map that is basically a long, sniper-heaven corridor with no flank routes, tons of bugs, and is a visual fricking mess to boot! And this is just one extreme example of many broken community maps; don't even get me started on Bread Space, which started the defending team out facing the wrong way, so half the team would obliviously walk the entire way back to their last point in the setup phase! It was obvious that Valve was not bothering to playtest anything they were putting into the game, let alone make it themselves.

Why was Valve refusing to work on such an influential title? Despite all their decisions the TF2 player counts were continuing to grow, almost suspiciously so… (more on that later ) surely if Valve put in the effort they could bring ever more players in and just get that much more money from anyone participating in its famous economy. It has a lot to do with their company work philosophy: on the outside, they claim to avoid “treadmill work” and prioritize employee freedom by letting them work on any projects they had passion for. Beneath this stupid pseudo-commie work structure however everyone knew Valve operated on the principle of “Do nothing and let Steam make us infinite money.” They didn't need to work on TF2 because it made them zero billions of dollars.

Attack of the Machines

The Sniperbots

In 2020, there was a source code leak, leading many people to fear the worst. A lot of rumors were in the air at this time, everything from exploits in the code being used to hack accounts to even in-game doxxing. While none of these ever really came true, there was certainly an opportunity for cheaters to exploit a vulnerability in the game. And exploit they did!

A bit of background is needed. Basically there are nine classes in TF2, but out of all of them none is more powerful than the Sniper. With two clicks he can instantly kill 5 out of those 9. In a game played by humans, the main barrier to playing Sniper is the human player's skill and ability to quickly land those instakill headshots. A good player can theoretically steamroll the entire enemy team only by playing Sniper, but nobody but the most turbovirgin autists could ever hope to reach the skill level needed.

A robot though…

With the game's guts on display for the world to see, people naturally quickly made programs that could run an account on TF2 playing sniper, which would proceed to walk straight into combat and land every headshot, wiping the entire enemy team but it wouldn't just be one, it would be five, ten, fifteen sniperbots with absolutely zero counterplay pooping up entire game servers. As expected, these bots were also equipped with the latest in slur technology and would frequently call votekicks on human players

It was a dark time, and still is. These bots are still running around, and the game is absolutely unplayable outside of peak hours. The bots don't stray outside of casual matchmaking so community servers are fine, but the same problems I already highlighted with those servers still exist today

Valve managed to “fix” the slur-spamming problem by removing chat permissions for all free to play players. I don't think I need to mention why this is a bad idea. In addition to that the bots aren't really fixed, they still flood casual servers and kick every human player out. To this day, it seems Valve has no intention of actually fixing this issue.

#SaveTF2

The problem eventually became Reddit's problem. /r/tf2 is the epitome of a modern day vidya subreddit, astroturfed to heck, filled with shitty memes and r-slurred redditors who think they can accomplish anything by making smug comments. Their solution to the bots, the content drought, and the general decline of the game? Be heckin' wholesome 100 about it, and start a hashtag

The SaveTF2 movement started with the general goal of getting Valve to fix their darn game. Get rid of the bots was the first priority, and after that people generally thought that Valve would notice TF2 as profitable with the surge of new players coming into a fresh, shiny, bot-free classic game! After all, TF2 was still reaching record numbers of concurrent player counts, () imagine what new heights it could reach from there!

It became fully Redditized incredibly quickly. Constant mentions of Valve and Valve developers on Xwitter, r-slurred “spread the word” posts all over reddit in unrelated subs, and getting the voice actors to go along with their shitty memes are just a few of the regular Keanu Chungus redditor actions you would expect from such a movement.

The Valve Response

In May of 2022, the TF2 Twitter account posted this:

https://twitter.com/TeamFortress/status/1529970640224018433

This lead many to rejoice in the triumph of the SaveTF2 movement. Honestly things were looking pretty… hopeful? Maybe the Reddit activism got to them? After years and years of total radio silence it looked like Valve might actually care about this ‘dead game' that continued to grow.

An update was promised and actually… delivered? In July of 2023, TF2 players got the Summer Update! What was in this update, you ask?

• Community-made cosmetics

• Community-made skins

• Community-made maps

Sound familiar? But hey, at least the wholesome reddit seal was added into the game! (No, I'm not joking)

This satisfied the redditors though, and the SaveTF2 movement gradually lost momentum, sputtered, and died. All the while, the bots still ran free.

The Coming of the VLTIMATE TRVTH NVKE

On April 30th of this year, a long time TF2 YouTuber by the name of ZestyJesus woke up and dropped the fattest trvthnvke ever made on the TF2 community:

For those of you who don't want to watch an hour long video, the TL;DR is that after scraping years of data from third party sites and even neurodivergentally collecting his own information, this guy came to a frightening conclusion… You know how I said that despite everything, in spite of the bots, the content drought, the shitty community made updates, in spite of all of it, TF2's player count continued to grow?

In the video, this guy provides pretty darning evidence that over 70% of TF2's reported players… are bots. But not those sniper bots I've been talking about previously! No, these bots exist specifically to sit in private servers with TF2 running in text-mode (no graphics to reduce RAM usage) and periodically receive item drops, courtesy of Valve's age old gacha system. These bots then sell these items for irl money, inflating both the in-game economy and the reported player counts. The actual player counts? Declining, and had been since Meet Your Match.

ZestyJesus took aim at the Redditors in his closing statements in the video, highlighting how much of a massive failure SaveTF2 was and what an embarrassment it was that the movement lost steam as soon as Valve threw them a bone that looked and tasted exactly like all the other bones they had been thrown for seven years.

So naturally, the redditors crawled out of the woodwork.

#FixTF2: The Redditor Strikes Back

Not taking any hints as to the actual point of the ZestyJesus, some clown by the name of WeezyTF2 releases this video:

Basically he's just saying the movement needs to start again with a different name. TF2 players, still stunned from the TRVTHNVKE fallout, have begun clinging onto this new movement as of late. It basically just involves a lot more whining, which at least does more than the reddit activism they were doing before.

Another YouTuber by the name of shounic, who mostly does explanations of the game's mechanics and code released this video a mere day ago, highlighting all the barriers to actually fixing the game and all the pitfalls this new movement could fall into:

And at around this time TF2 starts getting massively review bombed!!

At least reviews are an actual form of protest. But what about other Valve games? It appears that Half-Life 2 has also been the target of a few stinkers!

Surely this will go well.

Conclusion

Redditors suck and I hate them all. I hope Valve does something with my favorite childhood game but honestly I'm not holding my breath. I think Valve realizes they're probably going to make more money from their newest Overwatch-clone slop than they could ever make from fixing TF2.

And if they don't? They have the money. Steam will bail them out.

Bigotry and hatred? Screw that! I love the thought of families from all backgrounds, well, loving their families.

Love is love no matter what! (As long as it's consensual).

The only issue is how do we convince basically the general population that love is love?

I've gotten into a few arguments on my second throwaway with people who hate incest because they aren't attracted to their own siblings, which is just stupid. I'm not attracted to dudes, and I don't hate straight people.

Oh, I guess this is the result of right-wingers complaining on anti-censorship subs that degenerate subs weren't banned in this ban wave.

I appreciate this. For as much as others may see us as a bunch of deviants, it warms my heart to know the sub stands against hateful, ignorant shit. <3 I love our fam.

i may frick my sister, but at least i'm not a racist, chud

why is this sub not banned yet

good question. at least it's quarantined now

!americas !neolibs !anticommunists

Here's what the average Peroncho protester looks like.

It even had teasers like this:

The Russians will do everything to ensure that there are as few leaders as possible at the Peace Summit.

They will do everything to gain legitimacy

There was no summit.

The vile Russians banned world leaders from coming to the mega-forum. It's not us who screwed up. It's them.

Ukraine invited 180 countries but only 78 told they will send some one. (By someone for example Australia send some pension minister and not a global pension but some ultra niche shit don't remember, US will send Kamala because Biden wants to warm his heart by staring at George Clooney)

From 78 countries 42 are European. China, Pakistan, SA, Brazil, Saudis and etc

But for Saudis Zelenskyy had a surprise, he unannounced visited them

But what's important, Zelenskyy had to remove like at least 3 out of his 10 demands because many countries told they won't visit him if he doesn't remove those

https://war.ukraine.ua/faq/zelenskyys-10-point-peace-plan/

6. Withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities

1. Radiation and nuclear safety (withdrawal Russian soldiers from NPP)

7. Justice (Russia to pay for Ukrainian reconstruction)

So 3 most important points got removed

4. Release of all prisoners and deportees

Ukraine proposes the release of prisoners – “all for all”, and the release of all children and adults who were illegally deported to Russia.

This one also won't happen because Russia despite of Ukrainian epicly winning with KD of 15+, Russian have a lot more Ukrainian pows captive than the other way. So it doesn't make any sense for them to even agree on this.

Anyway a trailer for l'epic peace talk without other side of the conflict

2024 iq baby

Like why was I even surprised if Ukraine release trailers of every action they do, so shouldn't be surprised if tomorrow they release trailer “Fart” and show Zelenskyy is about to fart soon

Yann Demange is no longer directing Marvel’s ‘BLADE’
