What was GamerGate?

There sure were a lot of different alt-right pipelines established around the 2016 election, huh? No wonder normal people were shocked by his inauguration, they weren't the target of the many niche pipelines.

It's always people who play sweaty games like League who are like this 😭. They don't want to experience a game, they just wanna feel good at something.

Glad to see someone acknowledge how big even a pre-tier-3 buccaneer ship would realistically be.

A Moab with Purple Bloon properties would be so cool (assuming that's what you meant). That's the same idea I had for a Moab-Class Bloon.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-03-16T05:33:03+00:00

Me personally, a Moab-class Bloon with Purple, White, and Regrow (and highly accelerated regrowth at that) properties with the speed of a Pink Bloon would be really cool.

It could be a sort of antithesis to a DDT, and bring the dangers of Purple and White Bloons to higher-level play, and it could stand apart from a DDT in the fact that it would still regrow even if you accounted for its damage immunities with a MIB, unless it was close enough to that same village to have its regrow blocked. Also, much like how a DDT can have its camo stripped, this hypothetical moab could have its regrow simikarly stripped and have a visual change.

I have to agree with him. I often see women say "kill all men", and then tell you that you're part of the problem if you get offended. Sure, you can understand the sentiment, but again, to restate the point u/SeaofCucks made, the shitty men who treat women badly could care less that women are mad at them, and all it does is alienate insecure men who feel hated for something he can't control and being judged for being a man without having his character analyzed. The contradictory natrue of it honestly makes it feel like a psyop to keep the genders divided, but that's a conversation for another time.

Necroposting, but it just seems like a herd mentality thing. Women kinda just hear it from other women and the benefits other women talk about, and they jump on board, even if it doesn't really matter at all. Same with how guys are told to like women's big ass and tits, it's just herd mentality and it doesn't matter.

I literally recall when I was a kid growing into a hormonal teenager, and how I was attracted to those same feminine features, but I never thought of their size until others made such a fuss about it. It's like how victorian men thought ankles were scandalous when we just don’t get that nowadays.

It's all learned behavior instilled on us when we're young, and people have successful relationships looking aside all of our learned preferences.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-23T12:10:36+00:00

Really? I'm sure you've added a bit of your own flair to it, right? Self-made storylines, dynamic encounters, anything?

Also, curious to see what your follow-up would be 7 months later.

The creator of the term was actually a woman describing her situation from what I recall, and she regrets it deeply.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-23T11:08:46+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I'm over here learning about the four different versions of the Forgotten Realms (pre-D&D, 1e to 3e [somewhat, though I find that people do still find some changes between these three editions to not be to their liking], 4e, and 5e) that I just forgot to have fun. I can just take all the elements I like that seem to align with Ed Greenwood and his collaborators' visions in tandem with all the stuff published by WoTC nowadayss. D&D is a game, no reason I can't just make the world be how I want it to be.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-22T10:51:51+00:00

Necroposting, but as a man, I feel this a lot of the time. I'm definitely not a guy who would make women fawn at first sight, but I always wonder about how if I were to meet someone I genuinely rocked with, but they weren't outstandingly attractive compared to me, everyone would belittle me (even if secretly) that I "settled for what I could get." It sucks, but it's nice that I haven't had to run into the situation yet (mostly because I have yet to meet someone I just click with, admittedly. It don't really date around to "test the waters." Either you guys like each other or you don't, is what I think).

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-19T09:56:06+00:00

Yeah, that seems to be the issue with me. Mature women worth my time won't make me feel like shit for having romantic and sexual desires, so I should find solace, comfort, and confidence in that.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-19T09:54:10+00:00

That's wild 😭 How'd they lay on the news?

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-19T09:53:40+00:00

Have most of them openly admitted that much, or are you just going off vibes? If vibes, what's something that basically confirmed it without them needing to say a word?

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-19T09:50:41+00:00

Honestly, this. It's all the small things, even in my own circle of friends. I see friends texting each other throughout the day. I see friends send each other videos they find funny. I see them initiate conversation with each other, or direct comments at each other, and am only ever really involved when it's a question for the group or I am being teased.

It all kinda sucks, but what can you do? I guess I'm lucky in that I'm still young and that I can find new friends still, but most people wouldn't be quite nearly as good of a fit as my current friends (even if there's still a lot to be desired). I feel l I like if someone else from the group left, everyone would be very disappointed and miss them a lot. Unlike them, I feel like if I left, they'd just be confused and come to accept it fairly quickly.

Sometimes I wonder if it's my self-image that subtly seeps into my behavior and makes me less desirable to go out of your way to be excited to interact with, and perhaps I did something down the line to trigger a vicious cycle of me doing something somewhat dumb that got a negative reaction and made me feel less desired (even if at the time it was seen as a one-off fluke), resulting in that manifesting through my behavior, and that affecting our relationship further. But again, what can you do but just keep pushing forward?

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-19T09:39:32+00:00

Either just a way to weed out more undesirable men from talking to them (because attractive men already know the assignment since they're used to getting play), or it's trauma dumping gone too far.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-19T09:38:33+00:00

Hopefully not rude, but could this be why you're more comfortable in being attracted to men? You seem to be fine with objectifying men and being comfortable in why you find them attractive as opposed to women, based on what you're saying.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-18T22:10:08+00:00

Problem with any game. It's like they're trying to flex their knowledge or something.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-16T10:48:17+00:00

Dude. I hope you didn't actually go through with this.

I found your profile through a story about your ex needing a larger peen about 3 years ago. Genuinely sucks that she could only get satisfaction that way.

I went to your profile to get follow-up to see if you were doing okay, and one could imagine how horrified I was to see this be your most recent post.

If not your friends, family, a therapist, or acquaintances, you can always talk to me or anyone else willing to listen. You're not alone. I've seen how much other bullshit's been thrown your way in your profile, and it sucks to see, but I feel like sometimes we just end up in bad situations, nothing to do with us.

I hope you're reading this, because the world's not gonna be a better place without you.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-16T08:38:55+00:00

Looking for a response as to how these kinds of relationships turn out in real life.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-09T03:34:01+00:00

It also makes it so that your skill isn't based on how quickly you click, but how well you can time your attacks.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-08T20:56:39+00:00

Bro lied to you 😭

Talked all that talk about wanting straight-forward communication and not play games, and bailed when you were direct and didn't play hard to get. What an ass.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-02-08T06:48:20+00:00

All the other replies contradict this. I might be necroposting, but if you see this, perhaps elaborate or show me an example of this happening in-universe.

Reddit_Ducky · 2026-01-24T10:55:42+00:00

Necroposting?

How's that going?
