Keep going strong bro you can do it

What is wrong with experiencing a wide array of philosophy

I have many!

Alright man

Perhaps

I don't really think so no but I'm tired you can keep insulting me if you'd like

Well I don't think I'm intellectually sophisticated in the slightest

Nah it's chill don't sweat it

I'm reading Nietzsche right now 💔

Yo I'm gonna drop it cause I feel like I am just gonna make things more stressful for him and escalate it further, and I don't wanna do that to him. I will just say that I genuinely think you're being mean and should just let people be, or at least censor their username at the very least.

Thanks bro

Ok but you didn't think it was someone other people had bad experiences with when you posted it! It was a random dunk on a random dude who couldn't defend himself. The game doesn't matter here because I'm talking about your behavior, not the game itself. I'm not getting sidetracked by that.

Bro tell me straight up you don't think it's weird for a 100k+ subscriber YouTuber to post (what he thought was) a random guy's take on a different platform where they can't defend it and just have to watch everyone in your replies dunk on them. Tell me that's not discouraging for discussion.

And also you're liking tweets talking bad about him, making demeaning comments, etc. You clearly have a grudge lol

If you don't see how dunking on strangers who have different interpretations than you is mean, rude, and weird then idk. If I was talking about a game only to see 100k+ YouTuber posted my takes and didn't even give me a chance to defend myself, I would be so reluctant to talk about that game again.

If you didn't realize it was him then it's even weirder because after I called you out on it you cited his past behavior as a justification. If this was a totally random stranger in your mind and you just posted their opinion and username as a free easy dunk they couldn't respond then that's nuts.

What he did has nothing to do with what I'm saying though. I'm talking purely about your actions, and you going out of your way to bring up an old grudge when your name wasn't even brought up, and once again try to silence discussion on the game by appealing to the moral high ground.

The link you posted is from October 2024. The forum you screenshotted is from two days ago bro. I am not wrong about the situation in the slightest because he did not bring up your name or say anything. Once again this is you going out of your way to dig up an old grudge.

There's no way you don't see how you've directly contributed to shutting down and smothering discussion around this game when you're doing stuff like this.

You're the one who went out of your way to dunk on him when he didn't even bring up your name or your tendency to shut down any discussion about the game by taking the moral high ground (as you did in the original post I QRT'd), or even your interpretation. The only one "overwriting" is you rn.

I don't care how someone interprets The Medium, but this policing over people interpreting it a way that goes against the online agenda, and this moral policing over the story being "harmful" is beyond goofy and disrespectful to art.

I also don't believe there is harm in a piece of art having a crushing or sad conclusion. I'm one of the most depressed person I know, and I genuinely love "harmful" stories, because it gives me an honest sense of catharsis and insight.

The only reason a game like SH2 has its reputation is because people were allowed to interpret it however they wanted. I find Angela's ending to be crushing, but I'm sure there exists a strong interpretation showing a different side to it I didn't see before. We should encourage this for everything.

Even if the game could be read in a potentially "harmful" light, then why wouldn't we prop up ways where it isn't read in that light? What if someone finishes the medium, sees discussion online about how the ending can be seen as beautiful, and takes away a positive message from that? Is that bad?

Objectivity in art is not a real thing. A story can be interpreted in many ways. The *only* thing that this type of rhetoric does is drive all context of the game towards one singular idea. Attitudes like this are the death of art and interpretation.

This whole thing around The Medium is insane because its detractors will see someone take away a positive interpretation from the game and then vehemently get upset at them for this. Why would we want to push one singular """harmful""" interpretation as correct if others are possible?

Me: "You're lecturing impoverished writers about having principles in the face of starvation and eviction, while you, who self-admittedly aren't in that position, took a byline at the trans genocide-enabling NYT."

Gita Jackson, for some reason: "YOU'RE WHITE"

when i was fighting to get the article that exploited my sexual assault taken down, Gita Jackson would constantly subtweet snarky, catty, dehumanizing takes about my situation. their following and friends harassed me endlessly with terfy slurs and jokes about my mental health. it just wouldn’t stop.

There is a lot to criticize Hideo Kojima for, especially when it comes to how he handles female characters. I have criticized him a lot for it in the past with Snatcher and the Metal Gear series, but this article is not engaging with the game in any sense of good faith in the slightest.

This one is just wrong. Basically every cast member besides Die Hardman has DOOMS which gives them magical powers. Neil and Cliff do not have DOOMS but they're ghosts with magic powers. Also, everyone in the game gets their powers from Amelie.
