if we are currently in a place where you are going to erupt in a mountain of headcanon because I posted an emoji and a gif, the problem is with you.

I don't know what I did to hurt you. Clearly you aren't the kind of person who will be upfront and have an adult conversation about it.

But this thing where you go running to wg every time I plurk? it's not healthy for you.

it's enough of a vague dogwhistle to be intentional, but I'm pretty done with feeling like I'm going to get someone upset by the merit of existing

I get that you don't like me. the unfriend button is right there. You are welcome to it.

I'm critical of the community as a whole, yes. but you are not the arbiter of what should and should not exist.

And if I am feeling an emotion that the things I try to build aren't what people want to use, that doesn't mean it wasn't worth building.

direct communication when they could just shitpost on wg instead? nahhh

it's been going on since Entranceway, so I think it's a little beyond shitposting

and honestly it used to work? I would see this very targeted critique about whatever hyperspecific situation was happening and just be destroyed by it

but when they've been vaguing about me without even a pastebin to be like "this is proof she's awful," it loses its teeth

but also like my friend list is almost 200 people deep from like 15 years of moving around different games. I do not have the energy to be like "omg WHO COULD IT BE". Like. nah you're the one who's pressed about me breathing. you can solve your own problem.

Oh man that used to get to me then I stopped even looking at wankgate people people have gone at me hard there and it just wasn’t good for me

i so wish people would just fuck off if they have issues. its so easy. just unfollow. the person doesnt even get told!

it's just so elaborate! like I wish I had the energy to to the 4d chess manipulative shit I've been accused of doing

nah I'm just straightforward and used to have a temper problem that I've largely calmed down about

and I'm fully aware that I went barreling into some bullshit like a decade ago crusading for "justice" that ended up being more like "I'm friends with someone who doesn't like X and pointed me at them like a canon knowing I'd fly off the handle about it"

how do people have that much energy even

but I like to think I've gotten better at picking my battles and disconnecting from people who use their friends as tools?

keytone8: man THAT I don't know. I'm old and tired and just want a chill space with chill vibes

same

i'm sorry someone is being bitch eating crackers about you. we're so old... let us retire in peace...

lulabeth: I feel like I am currently eating crackers, open-mouthed. crumbs everywhere...

and yet it doesn't really give them the free pass to be PA about it :|

so much aggression like fam it has been over a year since I've even joined a game. who is this villain you have constructed in your imagination and what has she done to you?

If they can't handle you being yourself in your space, it's time for them to leave that space. They don't have to be here.

^ no one is forcing them to stay here

some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy, you know?

who does have that kind of energy in this day and age... i'm sorry they are being this exhaustingly aggressive. hope they walk themselves away and leave you alone.

oh, hey guys? I only just read the thing. please don't engage with the thing?

I thank and appreciate you but it doesn't deserve the oxygen.

if that person wants to continue insisting that I'm the biggest baddest wolf without receipts attached, that is a them issue.

honestly if they're doing this years out

then they're being a huge weirdo

like. lingering in the plurk / space of someone you don't like for years just for the purpose of trying to get at you???? someone needs to touch some grass.

I could see if if I was actively doing stuff in the community? But I haven't been in a game since last October, and I don't really want to join any of the games that are open now

so I'm not...... really in a place to be A Problem?

They just want to have a platform to say untrue/hurtful things about me without their name attached

like there's this weird "NO ONE LIKES YOU GO AWAY" push that's like

my sleep paralysis demon can handle that just fine I'm good on that front

but they usually pop up when I'm like "I was sad about something " to be like "YOU DESERVE TO BE SAD YOU HORRIBLE BITCH"

and then pile on some things that I never said

they keep pushing this narrative that I want to be overlord of the most popular game in DW and that sounds like fucking nightmare fuel

I would never want to mod a huge game

smh some people have to try to make everyone else as miserable as they are so they can feel even a little bit good about themselves

it's SO weird, especially because like!!! people like you have a real reason to never speak to me again, but we talked it out and got over it

(for which I am still grateful because you're awesome and it's been cool to get internet-old with you)

i feel like if they're lurking on your plurk they HAVE to have SOME awareness of your health and so it's like extra??? oh yeah big man you really showed jessie!!

oh but I only ever show up for that stuff after I'm not sad about it anymore

so it would do them no good to be like "YEAH HOW PATHETIC YOU SUCK"

it has indeed been awesome getting to hang with you getting internet old. life is too short to waste time and energy being mad about most things.

Especially in light of all the dramatic stuff!

Like I have a designated person to be in touch with my next of kin and let dwrpers know if something happens to me. And sometimes I wonder if my grudgewanker is going to show up then and be like "yeah she was a bitch to me in 2014 though!"

if they do they can go eat shit.

sincerest: 10 years!!!! We are 35 or 45 years old and entirely too old for this shit

In fairness, that's an estimation! Since I'm still not sure what I did to get this particular person hatestalking me for the last decade. There was a time in 2016 for sure when someone sent an anon report to game mods being like "SHE WAS MASTERMINDING THIS AWFUL THING" and I had to pull out logs of private plurks to be like "here is proof of me checking

for consent and receiving consent and generally disproving everything I've just been accused of"

and it's been vagues on wg since then

(I remember it vividly because that was also my birthday weekend and that was NOT how I wanted to spend my birthday weekend )

I don't remember what the awful thing was but I do remember exceeding the text limit on a PM

and being like "my plurk is literally public and I've just given you everything that isn't public. Where did I do these things?"

oh I think it was a player plot? I was trying to organize a lot of moving parts and then threads moved at different speeds and some people were "actually I don't want to do what we talked about" and I was like "....BUT...!!!!"

don't remember all the details but tensions ended up pretty high
