"Porn isn't reality"
I agree but the issue is with the people who say this. Fat millenial females say this and then go on to claim that all African men have long cocks because... that's what porn says they are!
Also trannies who moralfag about porn and call everyone they dont like "ewwww porn addict go outside" while having an OnlyFans link in their bio

What the fuck is this shit?

This accessibility nonsense is getting too fucking out of hand.
I've also seen in the games JEDI: Survivor and Hogwarts Legacy there's an Arachnophobia setting that turns the spider enemies into orbs.
God fucking forbid games have scary/creepy shit in them,.
Apparently "arachnophobia" (fucking grow up) Is a debilitating condition that needs to be attended to along with deafness and epilepsy and deserves it's own special treatment,
I mean I am terrified of locusts. I hate them. I have jumped from moving vehicles because of them. But I'm not going to be that faggot that demands they be removed or censored from media. I certainly wouldn't pretend that my fears should be taken into account when making games where tombs/caves/crypts are regular, because before buying the game I would understand that there might be spiders in fucking crypts.
It's like being surprised that sharks are in the ocean. Fucking stupid.

At least Satisfactory made their arachnophobia mode even more horrifying by turning the spider aliens into uncanny cat .pngs. Orbs, though, really? Pussies.

"Lens" bugs me these days. Just say perspective instead of adopting subversive newspeak.

New one: "praxis." I'm decently well-read but I hadn't encountered that one in the wild before, yet suddenly I'm seeing it a lot lately from radical leftoids. (Saw it used incorrectly tonight, too, that was kind of funny.) So outside of its definition, all that word means to me is that the NPC in question got his or her or xir program patched to the latest release.

I kinda just want a game based on spiders and to be dick, turning on "arachnophobia mode" only makes the spiders bigger and more realistic. A fantastic way to help curb those fears, especially since I suspect that a great number of these assholes only have "arachnophobia" because it's quirky. Like how so many people have autism suddenly. It's a trend. Remember when reddit was obsessed with Trypophobia? The fear of holes or clusters of holes? Yes it's not fun to look at, no you are not special in thinking it's gross looking, and fucking NO, you aren't special for over reacting at the site of it. I feel pathetic getting mad at them for it.
Like I said in my previous post I hate Locusts/grasshoppers but that would only make game killing them more satisfying.
I remember way back in the day there was an "8 legged freaks" game on PC and though I didn't get to play much of it, it was amazing for the time.

"If you didn't have arachnophobia before, you will now!"

I think my husband genuinely has arachnophobia, in that he'll get hit with a panic response when he suddenly comes across a spider in real life. But then half a second later the higher brain functions kick back on and he, you know, deals with it because he's a grown-ass man. The revulsion persists but he isn't collapsing into a whimpering puddle because of a dumb bug.

Speaking of, and I'm sure this isn't the first time it's been said in this thread, but "trigger" and "PTSD" when they're not actually applicable. Pathologizing unpleasant experiences only leads to weakness.

The constant moralfagging over porn is annoying in general. Not that porn isn't damaging, and too widely available, it is, but the amount people blaming it for all of society's woes is just ridiculous.

 

[The Spoils of War]

I hate how people call something "slop" without elaborating and think that makes it automatically bad. It's similar to idiots on 4chan calling something "Reddit."

 

[Lone Star]

"Muscle Mommy/GF" Any man who unironically uses this term is both gay and Freudian oedipus complex manchild.

What's more is the people like this are extremely insecure about their fetish. Like the guy right below this post already got mad over it.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

Maxxing. Stop saying this, you sound like a retard.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

This accessibility nonsense is getting too fucking out of hand.

Like I said, modern "society" is getting way too oversensitive.

TIL that SJWs may consider the term "JRPG" to be "othering", and even a number of Japanese vidya developers may have caught that "identity politics" mind virus and consider that term "discrimination" -- the reality is JRPGs are usually different from Western RPGs, and that's not inherently a bad thing. SJWs keep enlarging what's "problematic"?

I still think it is better to keep the term "JRPG" and change any bad common association, rather than to abandon yet another thing to the ever-growing list of what is "offensive" or "discrimination" these days. Modern "society" has been getting way too oversensitive.

Well, I dunno... I find Transphobia pretty crippling at times.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Faggots/autists saying “I suffer from…” before listing some common bullshit.

No, you don’t “suffer from misophonia” nobody in the world likes listening to some gross pig chewing with their mouth open. Everybody gets annoyed if they’re trying to sleep or concentrate on something and noise keeps distracting them. You’re not special, and you’re certainly not suffering from anything. For Christ’s sake grow the hell up.

I think colorblind mode and subtitles are fine. But WTF is a cognitive preset? Some kind of retard mode?

If you are going to add settings for arachnophobia then eventually we are gonna have settings for fear of dogs, cats, rats, cantaloupes, green m&ms and people named Bob. The madness will never end now. Thanks a lot wokedevs.

I'd love a setting to turn off trannies. But apparently the devs are too bigoted to care about my "transphobia".

 

[AnOminous]

No, you don’t “suffer from misophonia” nobody in the world likes listening to some gross pig chewing with their mouth open.

The people who say that literally throw psychotic meltdowns if they hear any sound whatsoever. Not eating like a Scalfani, but just anything at all. Maybe there's no such thing as "misophonia" but there is such a thing as psycho weirdoes who flip out about nothing.

 

[Akashic Retard]

This may not be exactly current year but it's a term that pisses me off. Like so many of these terms, I can't completely figure out what bothers me about this one:

"Human" or "human being"

People like to use this term in a very specific yet still difficult to define context. It's always something sentimental or regarding a person's total identity like "You are such an incredible human." or "One of my favorite humans." Why are you talking like an alien? Why can you not just say person? Why do you think saying human somehow makes your statement more profound? "Human being" has all this with the added superfluousness of "being" to make it sound just a bit more like cosmic woo bullshit. Clearly if someone is a human they are also a "being".

This is the shit I’m talking about:

“a really good human”

The overuse and demonisation of colonisation/colonization drives me nuts. EVERYWHERE in known civilisation was colonised/colonized at some point. But there's always some boring cunt that likes to jump on the bandwagon of, "Oh, the poor previous/"original" peoples!" Fuck's sake, looking at his profile, though, this saddo just wants to get laid, and has likely tried it on, and succeeded, with some tree-hugging bimbo at LEAST once beforehand.

 

[Sneefy]

It's probably been said before, but "Slop" has become the new "Cringe" in the current-day internet lexicon.

At the start, I sorta liked the term when it was originally meant to describe unmistakably mass-produced products for mindless consumption. That all changed not even a year later once contrarian midwits found out about it and started using it to describe everything they don't like for whatever contrived personal reasons that they desperately feel the need to "legitimize" as anything beyond their basic-bitch personal preferences. It's not enough to call something garbage and leave it at that, no the world must know how above their intellect is to the common man. Give me a break dude, calling the Mona Lisa slop doesn't make you a misunderstood genius, just an insecure asshole not confident enough to live with their opinions quietly without babbling like a fool to every stranger they pass by online.

Since we're on the topic of language crutches I would also like to express my hatred of the word, "Mid" which is in a similar boat as being a word that a majority of people use to call something garbage, but without the stigma of actually calling it "bad" since that would cause conflict or a dialogue that they probably can't handle. You see it a lot on the more normie side of the internet with content creators because they are always walking on eggshells with their audience who will go livid at any signs of disagreement with popular opinions on pieces of media.

"You can't get mad at me calling that game or movie mid, because mediocre doesn't actually mean awful!" then they slink away like a pussy. Have the balls to call it garbage and stand by that opinion for fucks sake. People will have more respect for you if you don't mince your words like a scared child.

Mass produced doesn't always mean slop and that's where I see the overuse. It would be like calling stainless steel forks "slop" because they're mass produced. There's a certain kind of entitled faggot mindset that every product you consume has to be organic, innovative for the sake of innovation and "premium". It's the basic mindset behind gentrification and it's the reason there's a subscription model for shaving your bollocks.

Same people originally abstained from the usage of the word because of it's origins in "goy slop" which before gaza would have been unthinkable to say.

"You will never believe..."

You know what? I'm having a hard time even believing the kind of timeline we're even in right now. So yes, you're right, I will never believe whatever boring video/picture/post that you show me. But what you're not getting at, is that I probably won't care.

"I know I'm going to get some flak for this..." As they proceed to express the most vanilla, regurgitated, and common as-hell opinion that everyone else before them has said and who after them will say.

 

[The Spoils of War]

"Gooner" and "incel" aren't words, and I don't want to read them in any more sentences. They should be purged from the language.

"Hyperfixation" is a clinical term that was used to describe autism but has been appropriated by white women on TikTok to mean any kind of interest, probably to make themselves sound smarter.
