Point being what, “women also fell for NFTs so they aren’t scams”?

The article never addresses the elephant in the room, which is that Fallout 4 doesn’t have the cultural staying power that 3 and New Vegas did, because it just isn’t a very good game, so there is never going to be as robust of a modding scene.

It really fucked me up when Dumbledore announced that house Slytherin would get one point for “every Irish papist who did not deserve to be killed by British muggle soldiers”, and continued “naturally, the score has not changed”. No idea how J.K. got away with that one.

What’s that got to do with the weirdos who gave them a bad reputation 25+ years ago? This is what happens when you skim instead of reading.

Also known as the most widely-used sites on the WWW during years that I strongly suspect predate your birth. Try to keep in mind that feeling upset doesn’t mean you’re being lied to, it just means reality sucks.

Votes are meaningless, people vote emotionally and my instance doesn’t show me post or comment scores unless I use a specific app that I no longer have installed. I’m sorry you don’t have your finger on the pulse of normal socks-and-sandals slobs but for various reasons I do

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
By my recollection: appreciably felt on 4Chan, SomethingAwful, several Zelda forums, a Lucasarts games forum, at least one Star Wars forum and approximately 50% of all human contact I experienced on IRC and ventrilo. People said the same about IGN and NeoGAF but I wasn’t eligible to post on the former because my head isn’t all the way up my own ass and latter didn’t come online till 2006, a little after I lost interest in forums. I did get TF2 at launch and my impression of the first couple years was that the only way to not see Nazi furry guro shit was to uninstall it.

“This is what I any many others observed” ≠ “These are the values I hold”
Be attentive to what you read instead of selectively interpreting it to match your emotional reaction to the general idea.

Sure, so they aren’t the lunatics shitposting all day. I made another comment expanding on it but in brief, whether it’s fair or not (and it’s not), the kind of furries most people came across during the reputation-forming years were the extremely strident ones who actively enjoyed making people hate them, and it stuck.

“What is truth?” The only thing that matters in terms of establishing a group’s (very much permanent) reputation is what percolates to the general cultural zeitgeist of people who don’t know what the word hypertext means. When the insular furry communities of the Y2K era kicked out the weird freaks who were actively hostile to the ideas of kink consent, consent in general, and non-white people continuing to draw breath, they descended on 4chan and SomethingAwful and various other forums and pretty much instantly solidified the unsuspecting public’s idea of furries as being creepy Nazis. It’s not fair, but you only get one shot at establishing an eternal reputation and it’s more or less completely out of your control.
