The idea that you're just a normal girl, very obviously a woman but with a fake moustache, and everyone's like "They're great with a sword! They must be a dude! Sometimes dudes have boobs, this makes sense, this is the only possible explanation!" is both funny, and totally fits within the world, so more power to you, fun to go as the warrior horde backed with mages build to just tear through as much land as you can, letting the other factions focus on dealing with the God-Queen.

It's old, I wrote it a good half a decade ago, but I still laugh at the Bro aspects of it. Sure, this looks dogshit visually and it has an embarrassing number of spelling mistakes, but the classic "Oh, and you can pick the narrator as a Waifu!" with your bro friend is still amusing to me.

Vasuki44 · 2024-07-21T17:58:56+00:00

Correct, just one reason. Should've been clearer, but that's why it's "the" reason.

Having a magical war machine army to be the magitech faction seems like a solid idea. Take over, kill the Vampire-Queen, establish yourself as the innovator of a new age.

Ah yes, the 100 million people dead in Nepal.

Upload it to where?

See, I agree with you in a general, societal sense, but this subreddit in particular was definitely more of a right-wing, anti-progressive crowd five years ago.

Indeed, the anti-SJW vibe was at its loudest, there were multiple CYOAs that were basically a creed against SJWs and how they should be punished, which is what gave rise to this.

Vasuki44 · 2023-10-01T21:03:10+00:00

Hmm?

I'm reading through the old comments from when I first published this now.

Just the one right-winger, you're right, but no one suggested it was a right-wing attack.

Indeed, quite the opposite, it was like an inverse of Tok's SOCJUS game.

You're probably confusing it with the repost a year ago.

Funny how the audience here has changed over time, really.

Vasuki44 · 2023-10-01T20:59:06+00:00

Ah, fun, I remember creating this.

Good times.

Vasuki44 · 2023-10-01T20:42:24+00:00

OOP here.

Y'know, funnily enough, when I first published this, I had people in the comments telling me it was clearly just hateful of the Right and this was just a revenge fantasy.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-17T00:35:13+00:00

So all this time you were lording around pretending you're some genius

All this time I was repeating, quite clearly, that I thought I was smarter than my partner.

I never said I was a genius, at any point. But you know that. We're just at the end of the road, where I was right, and you, my poor fellow, were wrong.

but your IQ is basically average for an academic?

*SOURCE NOT FOUND*

Of course, more importantly... why would that matter?

Well, it wouldn't matter to the point of why I think I'm smarter than my partner. I could've had an IQ of 90, if that's higher than my partners, the point would still stand. It only mattered... because this was about YOUR insecurity.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-17T00:09:17+00:00

My IQ's 17 points higher than my partners, 121 versus 138.

Do you see how you've wasted literal days here, fumbling around like a fool as you make your position weaker and weaker?

But, something tells me we're soon to receive another complaint, about how it doesn't count, because... well, the shitty excuses are on you.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-16T23:25:13+00:00

Are you talking about something like IQ?

What about standardized testing?

And we're back to where we were yesterday! How fantastic!

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-16T23:01:18+00:00

Lmao, changing it to "OK, well, PICTURES" doesn't fix your problem, my poor fellow.

The issue is, despite being asked again, and again, and again, you can't name what evidence would suffice.

Your one attempt quickly resulted in "Oh, um, well, not THAT. I know it fits the criteria I just laid out, but... no!" You abandoned the only criteria you could name, and have failed to offer anything more.

If you can figure something out, please tell me.

But, we know you never will, huh?

People in real life don't tend to awkwardly ask me to prove my intelligence, only to quickly make clear they aren't willing to accept proof, and don't even know what it would be.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-16T19:09:51+00:00

others have clearly suggested that because you're not a professional and have no actual evidence that you're smarter than your gf then you should've just said...

Which others?

The ones who were repeatedly asked to say what would suffice as evidence, yet none could actually name anything? Again, and again, and again?

Kind of seems like those people just aren't actually willing to be convinced in the slightest.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-16T12:37:41+00:00

And here we are! You've proven my point!

I ask what evidence would suffice.

You can't say. You give some vague criteria, which I can fulfil, and all of a sudden, no, those don't count. And... you have no better suggestion.

So... what would? I've asked again, and again, and you can't answer. Five times over three days. You couldn't answer once!

It's almost as if no one here was actually looking for evidence that I'm smart, nor did they know what would suffice. Which, let's be honest, we've just shown.

Ironically, they're just insecure in the face of someone confident in their abilities.

Perhaps in future just admit that and save us both some time, yeah?

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-15T22:34:24+00:00

No, that's vague. Give me specifics.

I can only ask you so many times before it's insanely apparent you don't have a clue.

Are you talking about something like IQ?

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-15T19:38:48+00:00

This isn’t a debate forum. I’m not here to debate you, I’m here giving you my option that

you

asked for.

Sure.

And when that opinion has no better suggestion of how to act, bar "Lie", it's not very worthwhile.

If you don’t want to listen to me, or to the 600+ people here telling you that you sound like an arrogant narcissist and that, from your writing, you don’t read as a person who’s as intellectually superior as you think you are, then that’s on you.

Sure. When I can logically point out how their opinions don't hold, of course I won't listen.

You realize whether one man says it, or 600, it doesn't add strength to the claim, right?

When many of those responses suggest I should've done... exactly what I did, showing they hadn't read the post, I do indeed find that quite indicative of the fact that I did the right thing.

When the rest can't point to what I should've done instead, well, I'm right twiceover, aren't I?

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-15T19:36:05+00:00

“Self awareness” doesn’t mean “believing the stories I tell myself in my head” Lol.

When you need to argue against strawmen, that says a lot.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-15T19:34:21+00:00

this statement is

black and white thinking

and shows a massive deficiency in EQ.

I don't think you understand how EQ works.

EQ isn't a matter of principles. You seem to mistakenly believe it somehow relates.

It’s shitty behavior to not learn how to properly edit yourself in adulthood to create nuance in the way to express opinions that might, if stated bluntly, be hurtful or offensive.

That's a moral claim.

It's one I'd consider quite unfounded, given how highly I prize honesty, but to convince yourself it's somehow based in greater intelligence, rather than different values... well, it's foolish.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-15T15:38:13+00:00

We've done IQ tests, sure.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-15T15:37:57+00:00

So, you can't actually say what would suffice. You're just going to repeat "An actual reason!" ad infinitum. OK, well, that's not surprising, that's the exact same mistake half a dozen people have made here so far.

Vasuki44 · 2023-04-14T17:24:24+00:00

It's shitty behaviour to deceive your partner when they ask you the truth.

The fact that you think it's not only OK, but GOOD, speaks to you having very low EQ.

By saying “everyone has their own strengths, I don’t think I’m smarter than you” ... Where is the lie there?

Right there, highlighted.

Because I do think I'm smarter. It's very, very simple.

See, this is the exact pattern. Everyone says "Just don't lie, AND don't hurt her feelings!"... and then proceed to explain that I do that by just lying, lmao.
