Also, I want to hear more about the Christman family fortune.

      yea

      I didn't even go as hard as I sometimes do against the treats; I didn't even say anything directly against Mortal Kombat Historically Accurate Snuff Film Edition that time but just the suggestion that workers shouldn't have to sit through snuff film/slaughterhouse footage to keep their jobs meant that I was "delusional" about "privileged" video game artists (hahaha, privileged, suuuuuuuuure) and of course that I deserved death because I was uncivil by not kissing freeze-gamer ass and actually stood by my original point instead of citing holy conciliation words like "to each their own" galaxy-brain

        I mainly just think it's weird how they tried to play victim after. Like, there's something to be said for "You signed up to do Mortal Kombat viscera, what did you expect?" with possible answers like "Let them pace themselves," "pay for them to see a counselor before they break down," "Get them minimally-offensive content, maybe let them visit a mortuary or something and talk with a mortician instead of watching a dozen videos of someone getting fucking murdered on camera" and, of course, "consider if any of this shit is worth doing compared to the campier approach where someone explodes into 5 femurs and a dozen rib cages," but telling you to die and then acting like a smol bean is just baffling.

        Mortal Kombat is a weird case because the games are written in a senseless way at their core. So many of the fatalities aren't "Make sure he's dead" they are "tee hee I love mutilating corpses!" even when it's not even remotely appropriate to the character. It's just newage shock marketing, basically, and all for a game with shitty balance and shitty animations outside of cinematics. It's just not even good slop.

          I used to hate the term, but "crybully" really does apply to some people, especially freeze-gamer types.

          I think that that freeze-gamer really, really assumed I would follow some poorly understood but dogmatically expected ritual of seeing their point (his point being utter garbage to begin with, because it was a claim that Mortal Kombat artists are "privileged" and can "easily find other work") and respecting it equally, which I will not do if I see that point as bullshit.

          Did you see the part where that freeze-gamer weaponized the act of having given financial aid to another Hexbear user as if that was a way of purchasing compliance, or at least silence?

          Why is that freeze-gamer not actually banned anyway?

            I did, that was arguably the most pathetic part of the thread

            I just assumed they were! They should be a thousand times over, so maybe a few more of the comments need reporting . . .

              I was uncivil and didn't respect their point about some workers being too privileged to have jobs without experiencing psychological trauma which means I must (CW: gore, suicide, heated freeze-gamer moment)

              spoiler

              slit my own throat and die. But wishing death to me isn't the same as commanding death to me. That would be uncivil.

              Treatbrained leftism is like adding sewage to a smoothie. No matter what the other ingredients are, it's now sewage.

              Of fucking course their avatar is AVGN. cringe
