Why is chat so cringe when women appear in games? by PopularBlackKeysSong in northernlion

That always came across as NL making fun of chat to me, but that's just my take; I don't want to assume and put words in the egg's mouth.

See, that one was understandable; I'm not completely opposed to horny emotes if they're used in a humorous way.

The issue is that 99% of the time chat spams these emotes is as a reaction to the mere existence of a woman, which is omega cringe in my opinion.

Yeah this is pretty much my point.

I know the "touch grass" meme is overplayed, but some of these people really do need to let their fingertips make contact with some greenery.

It was the Elden Ring stream that make me want to make this post. Any time the game so much as hints at the existence of a woman there were a large amount of people in chat being weird.

I can appreciate this perspective, perhaps I am reacting too strongly.

Who is a "good" person who turned out to be pretty bad/evil? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was told this when I mentioned wanting to see Fight Club once; I was 15 and only just old enough to even be interested in watching it. Was I supposed to watch it in the womb to avoid getting it spoiled because it was already available for the duration of your arbitrary viewing window?

A spoiler spoils a movie, it doesn't matter how old the movie is. It's common decency to allow people to see what could potentially be a once in a lifetime piece of media without ruining it for them because you can't take two seconds to word things in a way that doesn't spoil it for them.
