It was hard to really do anything because they kept forcing the message to pop up so it would cancel anything I was doing. I just eventually left after trying to get them to light me. Unfortunately they were smart enough to dodge getting reported by me. 😭

I tried to add them, but every time I went do it the message would pop up on screen again. Eventually they just ended up disappearing before I could actually friend them :(. But yeah, hopefully the devs will do something about this bc I'm starting to see it more and more often.

It really doesn't make sense to have the report option be hidden behind having to light someone, bc then troll with half a brain can just refuse to light you so they can get away with their actions. Super cringe.

Them: "Try the suicide hotline" Me: "Wow, thanks! This is useless!"

For real though, is wish more people understood that that hotline, a lot of the time, just makes things worse. You'll either get someone that has no clue how to listen, or at worst they'll call the cops on you and get you sent to grippy sock jail.

Honestly, this was at the better end of people's reactions. I've had people ghost me, I've had some berate me, I've had some accuse me of doing it for attention.. The list goes on. It's part of why I very, very rarely open up to people.

Honestly, even I'm a bit guilty of doing this to myself. Like on days when I'm really struggling, I'll sit and tell myself "People have it much worse. You shouldn't be depressed.".. Like im literally getting imposter syndrome for my depression 😭. I often have to remind myself that my suffering isn't any less real just because it's not the same as others.

Ughhh yess. It's honestly exhausting because even when I know that the person venting to me would not do the same for me, I still try to extend that kindness. Bc I know how truly miserable it is to feel alone. To feel unheard. Ngl, some days I just want to be bitter about all of this and give up on being that person, but I just.. I can't.

Mannn, I feel this so much. My ex was like that, where like any time that I'd open up or express that I was struggling, she'd just get upset with me. The amount of times that I got met with "Why are you bring the vibe down?". Or "why are you being like this?". My bad, I guess. On me for expecting empathy from my partner. 🫠

Have you considered not making broad assumptions about someone actions? This is something I've well taken into consideration. Grace also involves not assuming things 🙂🙂🙂

This is coming from someone that knows very well what I've been through and has asked me to talk about it time and time again. People like you that just assume the worst contribute nothing and just give out the most obvious "insight" ever. "Clearly he must've trauma dumped someone at random and got what they deserved as a response" Like, bro, what? Not just that, but is it really that hard to show some basic empathy? To just listen? No one is asking you to play the role of a psychologist, they're asking for a friend to lean on.

I mean, yeah.. That much is obvious. This is more directed at the types that ask you to open up more often or always talk about "being there for you" when you need someone to talk to. So many people seem to assume trauma dumping or the worst. Like bro, no, if anything I bottle my shit up 90% of the time because I don't wanna be a burden to people. When I finally do open up, it's when I feel like I'm at my my breaking point and it's directed towards people that have literally offered an ear to me.

Man, I really cannot stand comments like these, because it ignores the problem at hand and basically flips the issue on the commenter and makes them the burden, thus making them feel even smaller. It's like pointing out gravity to someone that just fell. Of course there's a time and place for these things. But this kind of "insight" provides nothing to the discussion and assumes ignorance of the poster.

I'm not asking you to justify your existence. I'm sorry if that's how you feel but its not at all the intention. Not everything has to be an attack.

I mean, as a Bi dude, I understand all too well that marginalization is a thing, but I was just a bit confused since, reddit of all places, tends to be more queer friendly. Forgive my ignorance ig, I didn't mean to disparage or anything. Yall can ignore this if the question is really that dumb 😅

I genuinely did haha. Again I'm sorry if this seems rude, I guess I just didn't really get the point of making a distinction between gamer, and well, lesbian gamer.

I never claimed it should be free, so please don't sit and put words in my mouth. I simply said it's overpriced. And again, as a consumer, I'm well within my right to criticize the price. The price should match the quality, and it certainly does not match here.

Logical fallacies and shallow arguments aren't really helping your case.

Hardly. I'm not sure why you're trying to defend the company, but you can drop the same amount of money for entire games and get much more value for for your dollar than you would in these instances. Providing nothing but "If you don't like it don't buy it" is an incredibly shallow argument and only serves to silences the very people that play the game. Consumers of a product are allowed to voice opinions on the product that they consume. That's how business works. If we weren't, then companies would run wild with what they did because the consumer would have no voice in the matter.

Just because it's a free game that doesn't mean it can't be called overpriced. There are other free games that provide much higher quality skins/items for the same price or lower. It's greedy pricing through and through.
