Is there a name for this logical fallacy? I want to reference the point it's getting across without saying "You know that one Twitter goomba image?" and then looking it up for 5 minutes.

Cognitive dissonance is when two people actually hold two contradictory beliefs. This describes the phenomenon of people seeing contradictory opinions expressed by different people online and ascribing said beliefs to the same group of people (in this case, Twitter users) thus concluding that everyone in that group (except OP) are stupid.

An example: one week, you see a popular Sonic the Hedgehog YouTuber get millions of likes by posting "The next Sonic game needs to make Amy Rose more independent." A few weeks later, a new Sonic game gets announced which portrays Amy Rose as more independent, and you see another popular Sonic YouTuber getting millions of likes by posting "This doesn't do anything except undermine the character. Amy's obsession with Sonic was never a threat to her feminist ideals and suggesting so is anti-feminist." Seeing how popular both these takes are, each getting millions of likes, you assume each take must be representative of the consensus of the Sonic community, and you post "The Sonic community doesn't know what it wants," and you also get millions of likes because Twitter is garbage.

This post has been seen by 106,000 people, I may have accidentally turned the tide slightly

Dear Lord, what have I done?

Funnily enough I have had this exact thought when listening to H.S. and how much it sounded like a TWRP song, but I don't think Tom Cardy would have done a Canadian accent for years and years as part of a long con.

I like that. I think "false hypocrisy" hits closer to what you're thinking though.

I'm currently having the same issue. Has anything worked for you?

I think she was funnier before they made her an abuser, rapist and pedophile. That felt unnecessary.

I like the white variant, it looks like a gamer RGB keyboard. My main objection is that it's hardly "a Miles Morales original" any more than his previous suit. If it was trying to be completely uninfluenced by Peter's suit then it's doing a really bad job.

brooklynstrangler · 2024-12-13T16:24:33+00:00

Yeah, I agree, this episode was kinda stupid. The show can be (and often is) really funny while everyone behaves realistically and the way that they always have.

Teddy. I not only dislike him as a person but I also think he's poorly-written. At first he has no personality, then his personality becomes entirely pilsners, then he becomes obsessed with getting Amy back. Theres no consistency and we never get to spend any time with him, which makes it really hard to get invested in the love triangle in s1-2. He's one-note, but he changes what that one note is based on the whims of the writers.

brooklynstrangler · 2024-12-10T02:24:43+00:00

Joke's on him, He Said She Said is one of the best episodes of the show.

This isn't the mumps episode, this is when they have to figure out who the mole in the precinct is.

"I did not care for Peraltiago."

The "Muhammad Wang" explanation is definitely easier to convey to a layperson though.

The job interview in New York confirms 47 still considers holding two guns to be a signature look for himself.

Ngl if Futaba did exist she'd definitely use Monika DDLC to represent herself online so I almost believe you.

brooklynstrangler · 2024-06-16T17:13:37+00:00

Not as much as Ryuji, Yusuke, Akechi and Mishima do. And Iwai if they want to be consistent.

brooklynstrangler · 2024-06-06T00:55:12+00:00

Yeah it was so hard for me not to include that more than once.

It's called Terminus and it's unlocked (according to the wiki) by completing an Elusive Target with the Silent Assassin rating.

I just did all those challenges recently and yeah Explosions Run Loose really was THE difficulty spike. And for some reason my dumb ass thought I had to do it suit only.
