Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

DaybreakHorizon , do you have a Youtube channel?

 

[Opossum]

I certainly hope the people here saying that talking about Sugiyama's views is too political for the thread aren't also the people talking about Brexit.

 

[Iridium]

I really want to change my username, just to see how it fits, but I lack a PayPal. Just give it time, I guess.

 

[TheBeastHimself]

I personally don't care for Erdrick because I'm not a DQ fan, but I accept any video game character with open arms to Smash. I'm just tired of people unironically claiming that Erdrick is in, or shutting down others who don't happen to believe Erdrick is in. I've dealt with those types of individuals, it's not a fun experience. I don't believe in leaks, so I'm going in this DLC cycle completely blind. If Erdrick happens to get in, I'm not going to chalk it up to leaks...

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You do realize politics is one of the forbidden topics on this thread, right?

I know. I want to argue that that rule is wrong, or that these issues aren't "political"

Because morality and political discussions are intertwined, people take them very seriously because one's morality essentially makes up a person and their beliefs. These types of discussions get easily heated, and not a lot of people like heated arguments, so they are typically looked down upon unless they are discussed in the appropriate forum.

So I just have to suffer while everyone ignores these issues because they don't want to talk about it.

 

[Pyra]

Ok, life story, hit me.

Lemme guess, starts in a hospital?

Not a life story per se, but I was born in a military hospital, yes.

I would rather not get into my family just because I quite love them a lot, though sometimes they are problematic.

But my childhood otherwise was rather weird. I’m not entirely sure when my OCD started but I can remember obsessing over different things to the point where it basically hurt me but I thought I was just weird. That’s what people kept telling me anyway.

The more I was generally verbally bullied or rejected the more I saught our companionship, even reaching incel levels between middle and high school. So, naturally after I started unfortunately developing “crushes” on folk in high school, I was labeled as a “creeper” and began to feel like there would never again be a chance for redemption or a time where I would be liked by my peers ever again.

Whenever someone did show any kind of interest, I would spam their phone when I felt neglected, obsessed with not wanting to lose that affection.

In senior year, I tried to stop caring as much. Somewhere along the line in high school I tried online dating or something and ended up hanging out with someone a little younger than me, though I looked much older so someone called the cops on me because I looked like a pedophile. This is probably one of the things that cause my slight fear / ocd in interacting with young people.

In my first year of college, I finally had (somewhat real) romantic interactions with folks. In fact, my newfound social life was both the best and worst thing to happen to me. I eventually felt better about myself, slowly but surely, despite retaining a large amount of self loathing and depression. I took leadership roles. I dated someone, broke up, have had people like me, and then ended up with my current girlfriend. I had friends. I had time.

I don’t have as many friends anymore. I’m at the age where I should have been graduated by now as have my peers. I dropped out for two years instead, only coming back into the college scene with online classes in 2017.

I have more debt than I can handle now. I have made many bad decisions out of my inability to combat compulsiveness either due to obsessions or my anxiety otherwise.

But... I do have my future wife, (proposing soon I promise), as well as an open mind and a drive to want to change the world... even if it’s in a little way.

I have self doubt. I can never practice anything without loathing myself. Drawing is really hard yet I keep doing it because otherwise I would get no practice in something I the pile love to be able to do. Likewise, I am ignorant of the world. For a long while I’ve used my privledge to take a generally neutral stance on many things because I don’t want to lose yet another friend, on the basis that I think differently.

But... I am still alive. Despite on several occasions desiring the opposite to be true, I am still alive. Scared, yet breathing. I can speak. I can see the struggles of my peers, I can hear the cries of those in need when their society fails them.

I can speak.
The least I can do is... try to talk to people.

I am trying, at least.

Always trying, despite being unable to stop loathing myself for more than a 5 minute span all the while.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

DaybreakHorizon , do you have a Youtube channel?

For viewing and commenting on videos yeah. I don’t ever post on it though. YouTube’s just not my thing. I don’t want to even try to make my way through such a creator-unfriendly platform.

 

[TheBeastHimself]

I know. I want to argue that that rule is wrong, or that these issues aren't "political"

So I just have to suffer while everyone ignores these issues because they don't want to talk about it.

There's a time and a place to discuss "political issues", and this thread isn't always the place.

 

[CallMeKnux]

Someday I am going to go to the Eiffel Tower and cosplay as Jotaro and post it in this thread.

Why not Polnareff?

 

[KMDP]

I certainly hope the people here saying that talking about Sugiyama's views being too political for the thread aren't also the people talking about Brexit.

No, they're different people.
-------------------------------------
Anyway, time for some fun.

Did you know?: Shoko Nakagawa is a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure super fan. She's a... little obsessed with Jotaro.

 

[Deleted member]

Ok, I don’t want to talk about Brexit at all, but I need to comment something:

I feel dumb, because I just realized that the word “Brexit” is a mix of “Britain” and “Exit”.

That’s the only thing I wanted to say about that topic, and I am going to check other threads right now.

 

[PsySmasher]

wow. I'm terrible at chrom.

Nah. You're probably fine.

Just the usual Chrom SD.

Why not bring the harder hitting stuff up in the debate hall?

It’s there for that purpose, as opposed to using a social thread to try and push your viewpoint this hard.

[Scoliosis Jones]

That opinion is evil. It's toxic. It does nothing but hurt people. I can understand people not wanting to be called evil, but if that's the case than they should stop having evil opinions.

It's not "politics". That's why I call them evil. It's not okay to hold and enforce opinions that hurt people, for any reason. And we need to enforce that. Not saying that these issues can be fixed over night, but at the very least we can stop ignoring them because they're "political"

How are they going to learn if they aren't told that those opinions are bad. If they face no consequences for it. If they aren't made to see how they're hurting people.

If the end result is that, going forward, they’re a better person...does there need to be consequences?

Even so, the strategy of telling people outright, “you’re racist/sexist/xenophobic/transphobic” has clearly not worked. Again, you’re telling people their entire lived experiences are wrong and that they should feel bad for living a certain way.

The feeling of anger you feel when someone is homophobic/transphobic/racist/sexist is the exact same feeling they will feel when you do the same thing to their life style.

There’s also the fact that social media is a terrible avenue for political reform when it comes to the individual. Humans, when on social media, view each other mostly not as humans, but a picture with no personal history or lived experience of their own.

The real change will happen when we seek first to understand, then to be understood. It shouldn’t be about being better off or making people feel bad. It should be about learning from past mistakes and correcting them for the future, together.

I subscribed to Ramen Tengoku !

So you're the one who posted the JoJo reference in my dumb Sonic Generations video?

 

[Deleted member]

I think Ramen Tengoku and I are the only ones that legit want Steve.

The Steve support thread says otherwise

This Vergil avatar is awesome.

That would be correct.

Can anyone give me a little extra encouragement to quit smoking? I plan on doing so today, but doubt lingers in my mind and I keep feeling like I won't be able to do it. I smoked cigarettes for a while and then switched to vaping (two ridiculously stupid choices), and now I want out.

 

[Deleted member]

I never even saw Jojo and I already really like Jotaro and the music!

 

[MainJPW]

I see alot of "Yikes" here, so I think it's time for me to "YEET" myself outta here.

So before I go, I hope you will be able to have a good time once the topic have been changed, and remember:

That’s...relatable.

I’m not going to give my whole life story (unless asked in some form), but I can resonate with some of your experiences, and I know it’s hard to have gone through all of that.

That being said, I’m proud that you have a generally positive outlook on life in spite of your experiences, and the fact that you’re making the most of what you have is something I’m glad to hear about.

You’re doing a great job!

Just so you know my inbox is always open for you if you ever want to talk.

My personal top picks for DLC are Banjo, Erdrick, and Hayabusa.

Besides them, my MOST wanted would be Rayman, but I’m uncertain of Spirits as Wave 1 DLC.

Smoking will kill you early.
It is hard to give up on it, but with help and deep thinking, you can get out of it and live a healthy life.

Smoking is a difficult thing to quit. You aren't going to stop just because of some posts on a smash forum, but taking that first step always starts you down the path of quitting. I believe in you.

While I can't speak much for the rest of the post (thank you for bearing your heart to us, by the way), I had a realization earlier today.

Art, more specifically pencil art, is pretty much a "Fake it 'til you make it" medium.

Look up the price of a pack of cigarettes in your city. Multiply the price with the number of packs you use every week, multiply that with four, then multiply it with twelve. That's the number of cash you'll be saving every year if you stop smoking.

Smoking kills people early and everyone in this thread and other threads like you, it would be a shame for you to die like that.

So quit Smoking! It's not good for you! We all know you can do it you just have to take the leap!

You can do it! Do it for your family/friends or this very thread!

Anyway, time for some fun.

Did you know?: Shoko Nakagawa is a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure super fan. She's a... little obsessed with Jotaro.

I saw her do an interview with Araki and it was...interesting to say the least.

One bit went something like this:

Shoko: “If you could have a stand from your series, which one would it be?”

Araki: “Hmmm, I’m not sure. Why don’t you go first.”

Shoko: “Well, I really want Jotaro to beat me up and say “Give me a break,” and spit on me.”

Araki: “The question was about stands wasn’t it?”


Also, in that same interview, which was conducted while Part 7 was already a good ways in, Shoko asked who could possibly defeat Star Platinum, “the most powerful stand of all time.”

Araki said that only a child of Jotaro with the same

Spoiler: PART 3 SPOILER

time stop

ability as him could kill Jotaro.

Spoiler: PART 6 SPOILER

I guess Araki and Shoko both forgot that Jotaro was killed in Part 6 by Pucci’s Made in Heaven, a stand that almost has the exact opposite of time stop.

[TheBeastHimself]

Thank you for the encouragement guys! I don't know if anyone else here has been through the same experience, but once you're hooked on nicotine, it can become a pain trying to get rid of the habit. When you don't smoke it gnaws at you until you do. You get irritated and everything starts to seem like it's falling apart. I'm not ready for the withdrawal, but I have faith that I can do it. I'm going to smash (no pun intended ) my vape, and throw that cancer stick out. It's not only detrimental to my health, but also my wallet. What good does it do for me? It is that question that has led me to my decision.

But really, I appreciate the support everyone! Y'all are the real MVPs...
