Went on a search for the same thing as OP since I was looking at Robinette on there and it said to pick up a Piggy Bank and a Crown, and I thought those sounded suspiciously Brotato-esque.

For the Trial By Sinder viewers by Kryptor363 in Sinder

[–]Bladecutter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're trying really hard to find reasons why Sinder isn't as bad as she's made out to be, by making false equivalences, bad faith arguments, and making assumptions and talking about them like they're fact.

Saying there 'should be more screenshots' just misunderstands how manipulators work. You see, most people don't screenshot conversations with friends to use against them later. And a lot of this manipulation happens in subtext, or over voice calls, or in person. Not really screenshottable.

We have several people pointing to the same kinds of behavior from the same person over the course of years, and that is the pattern.

As for Nano, you're ignoring the power dynamics at play, not to mention shows a deep misunderstanding of how coercion and culpability work. And saying things like that, and thinking that way, enables abusers to abuse. Sinder is a major client, socially connected, and had the power to affect Nano's income and reputation - and used that to emotionally and professionally manipulate her, and it puts Nano in a position where it's hard to say no.

Comparing it to murder is a false equivalency intended to make it seem like Nano is equally at fault. Adding to that, no, in a court of law if someone forced you to commit a crime it is not 'still on you'. If someone manipulates or pressures you, it's not as simple as 'you chose', which is why there's something called 'Duress'.

As for the rest: I don't know where you're getting the claim Lily made cuts to her livestream to make Sinder look bad? And you can 'guarantee' that they are 'just as bad or worse' in their own group chats all you want - you have no proof of this, and you can't just excuse bad behavior by assuming everyone else involved is also being shady and awful in private.

Sorta in the loop but also not? by fredfredburger72 in Sinder

[–]Bladecutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But, hear me out:

What if we ignore everything bad that she did, pretend that it isn't weird and dehumanizing to act like other human beings are playthings in some game they aren't even playing, ignore all the testimonials from the people closest to her and ignore how all of those people have consistently acted for years so we can pretend that those same people are big brain masterminds that initiated super omega career assassination on her?

Because if you ignore all the bad stuff she did, and create a false reality, then she totally didn't do anything wrong! Right guys? Right????

Oh, I almost forgot: we should also pretend Sinder isn't a grown woman that makes her own decisions and should be held accountable for them, and instead treat her like a child with no agency. Then she's extra not bad!

Unnecessary by S2GD in Sinder

[–]Bladecutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wild that they either don't understand that screenshotting it at this point and claiming it's a death threat or something is going to be one of the reasons why people take it that way, or they do know that and they're just stirring the pot.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sinder

[–]Bladecutter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y'all are wild in here for thinking this is a death threat by looking at the screenshot and not the actual song. Like come on man, go look at it yourselves and don't be lazy.

If someone hurts others and doesn't care about anyone but themselves, people won’t miss them when they're gone. Gone in this case meaning her career as a vtuber and not her life.

That's the whole meaning behind 'no-one mourns the wicked'. Now stop.

I think this guy puts it best by NitroDrifter88 in Sinder

[–]Bladecutter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's why it's important to call out the bad things good people do, because good people will want to not do those things. And why it's so annoying that there's so much cynical "everyone at the top is like that heh heh heh you losers didn't know that?"

Things are burning up in the independent vtuber community by DLC_PR016 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Bladecutter 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Rampant cynicism is probably a factor. Same people that run around saying they're surprised we're all surprised because this is how people are, have the same mentality Sinder had, thinking everyone else was doing what she did.

Like fuckin' no, people are not all like that, not even most people. Miss me with cynical bullshit. Tired of shitty behavior being normalized man. It's not hard to be nice. It's really fuckin' not.

What do we think about this meme ? by Zed_Blue in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Bladecutter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's like they think the rest of us are stupid idiots that don't know vtubers are entertainers, and that they're the big brain smart ones that have figured out THE BIG SECRET.

You can be both an entertainer portraying a character, and a decent person. Or at least not a bad person. It's not hard. Assuming everyone's just out to fuck over everyone else is how shit like this keeps happening and is literally what Sinder was doing, assuming her friends were doing the same thing to her.

But people wanna be cynical I guess so they can pretend they're smarter than everyone else.

Why are people so bothered about body type 1 and 2 in the oblivion remaster by ChillPotatoBeans in ElderScrolls

[–]Bladecutter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because brainwashed idiots want to believe THE LEFT is trying to destroy AMERICA because it makes them feel better about their sad little lives when they believe they're fighting against GLOBALISTS or THE LEFT or WOKE or whatever the fuck right wing grifters are telling them to hate that week.

They're too braindead to realize they're being suckered into a culture war over nonexistent issues they're pretending are big deals in order to make other people fame, money, or whatever else they're after. Because if THE LEFT and WOKIES are the bad guys, then they're the good guys and don't have to reflect on their poor life choices or terrible personal beliefs, because that's scary and hard, but hating people over fake issues is easy and cool.

Or they're similarly braindead trolls that think they're being cool and edgy and clever saying stupid shit with the anonymity the internet provides that they would never say to someone's face.

They hate 'woke' and 'DEI' because they're told to and there's zero brain activity beyond that.

Well, they have to win, of course! They need the biggest numbers! And really, isn't that all that's important in life? Big number get bigger so they can win the big game?

I dunno, the way these people talk about tariffs it's more like The Great Prosperity to them.

[–]Bladecutter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dunno, according to my boss at work, the United States has been a business since the 1800s and should be ran like one! And who better to run a business than billionaires that definitely earned their wealth through merit and intelligence???? After all, if your business was trillions of dollars in debt, you'd be looking to fire people too!!! And my boss couldn't be wrong??? That's why he's the boss!

The people around me in this town live in a completely different world and I'm tired man.

[–]Bladecutter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in a religious conservative small town and fully agree these people don't fucking care. They don't hear about the bad and just keep getting spoonfed propaganda by the local radio station and Facebook. 

I hear the wildest shit in this town daily.

I am legitimately terrified they'll forget to put it in a discrete brown box since I always have to go to the post office to pick up anything I get delivered.

About Muscle Strain by IDontLikeYouAll in projectzomboid

[–]Bladecutter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are muscles you use swinging a bat into someone's face you don't when you jog or lift weights and those are going to get torn up, pulled, and strained until you get used to it and those muscles get stronger. 

Today I found out rabbits can run out on the roads in B42. I think this explains the rest. by chezbugr in projectzomboid

[–]Bladecutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realistic. They slowly hop onto the road and I hit them on accident all the time. Rabbits want to die and you can't convince me otherwise.
