Owlspiracy posted:i mean unironically yea its probably better to think about dumb forums drama than to write long posts about how to prepare for the coming sex slave trade once covid wipes out society I often think that I could use the time I spend following forums drama in reading actual literature or something but the reality of the thing is that I would just probably play more video games or binge some bullshit on netflix to unwind, for me it's just a way to relax after work and that time would not be spent in anything uplifting and productive. It's not optimal or "healthy" but gently caress you if you think I need to justify my lifestyle choices to some anonymous dick on the internet. Doomposting about the coming rape gangs that ravage the wasteland that is only a few years away is something very different and a whole different degree of self-harm.

I remember that LF had those Peak Oil threads that had the exact same energy. I'm not saying that the climate crisis will go away the same way, I know way too much about the science of "ghastly futures" to think it's just another apocalyptic movement, but still. I don't know if some of those peeps graduated to doom posting about the climate or COVID but I would wager that a large % of those people still lead very unhappy lives and continue the cycle of self-harm stressing out about something else.

Doomposting about the coming rape gangs that ravage the wasteland that is only a few years away is something very different and a whole different degree of self-harm. These forums have actually improved my life quite a bit. They have given me advice on getting ahead at work, both general and helping solve specific problems, they have connected me to communities that have helped me through some hard points in my life, they have shifted me left politically, and have helped provide me with the vocabulary to be able to see my transness. Like any good hobby, they can improve your life, but like any hobby they can ruin it if it becomes too much of your life. Some people need to remember that the forums will still be here after they go spend an hour laying in the grass reading a good book, or playing with a random puppy on the way home instead of rushing to post. Also, you can still post while doing those things, so its not even an either or.

I mean, it's also the idea that if you live a happy life then the looming threat of it ending is made worse. If your already miserable then what is the worst that can happen? More misery? The ultimate problem is that nothing makes intuitive sense and there is a feeling, caused by knowing at least a little bit about the world, that "you don't matter". Now of course people matter to other people and to themselves, but an even passing knowledge of how the world works makes people more and more convinced that anything they do isn't going to change anything. That sense of powerlessness and alineation gets expressed in some weird as gently caress ways, especially on the internet. Josef bugman has a new favorite as of 18:47 on May 30, 2021 |

Owlspiracy posted:in all seriousness this is very, very unhealthy thinking - "I might as well not enjoy my life because it might get worse at some point!" I mean I do sort of agree. It's not great, but it's an explanation of how people can think. But I also do have to wonder about what "healthy thinking" really is. So much of it at work and elsewhere seems to be more based around "how can you be most productive?" or things of that nature.

More misery? That is some serious doomer brain, not a rational, healthy or normal way of viewing the world. Jesus christ. "Well this flower sure is pretty but the world is warming so might as well cut it down and save some time!" Except it's not even that, it's posting rants on the internet about how people are so loving dumb and you're (the royal you, not you personally) are obviously so much better because you know it's pointless to enjoy anything. Your post made me seriously sad because that is some depressing poo poo that no one should be feeling. It's the exact opposite of self improvement, self love, activism, whatever. gently caress. I'm gonna go watch some birds or something.

Josef bugman posted:I mean I do sort of agree. It's not great, but it's an explanation of how people can think. healthy thinking is when you enjoy things and feel happiness, or do things like eat mcdonalds chicken nuggets, instead of making 100 posts a day about how you think humanity should start exterminating itself because of the coming climate apocalypse, or posting tens of thousands of words about the specific ways in which you're powerless. because even when you make those posts in jest - or semi-ironically - it starts creating unhealthy, pessimistic thinking patterns which actively harm your interactions with the world around you. you should be able to understand that the prospect of future loss doesn't preclude immediate (or even ongoing! happiness). i've posted this before in d&d - and many others have as well - but if this is how you think about the world you need to get help

"The flower is pretty, but I am worried about other people getting to enjoy it in the future" is closer to what I believe personally. Sure, it's not a good way of thinking about things but, well, it is a way folks think about things. Owlspiracy posted:you should be able to understand that the prospect of future loss doesn't preclude immediate (or even ongoing! happiness). I don't think any of those things applies specifically to me. Certainly any berk going "kill everyone to get started on the climate apocalypse" is not well. But going "there is little I can do but I'm going to try" and living with it seems more honest than pretending that you matter in anything but the most immediate sense. But it does mean the happiness will fade away. To some people that is worse than never having it in the first place. It isn't, but it seems weird that every time I post anything even a little bit "glum" people seem to think it's a direct threat to myself.

To some people that is worse than never having it in the first place. its because you just posted "But it does mean the happiness will fade away. To some people that is worse than never having it in the first place." - that reads to me as extremely unhealthy thinking that is actively harmful and should be addressed through therapy and treatment... (like this legitimately is not a normal way to interact with the world.)

Ok found the sea of porcupines postMatoi Ryuko posted:Hey everyone! I don't wanna yell at anyone while I'm all tired and about to lay down for bed, so now I'm rested and ready to type. My guess is that all of you pretty much think I don't spend any time thinking about the kind of probations I hand out, but I really actually really really do. I've been your moderator for about 22 months now, and this entire time I've been working on this post I'm posting right now, sort of like a state of the address or something, or like a supreme court opinion on adtrw. Anyway, onto the meat of the matter, I feel that alot of you are being too hard on Japan, the writing doesn't deserve the constant derision it receives because it's not terrible, it's just mediocre. If you're being too hard on shows for being just medocore then you're sort of going to be driving away our main clientele, which as a moderator is my top priority to protect. I know tokyo ghoul or tomo-chan or franxx or whatever is mediocre to all of you but people coming here from crunchyroll and reddit are not going to enjoy a wall of "It's terrible" if they're here to discuss their new favorite anime or manga. On the point of being too hard on japan, all of you know that japan has been through alot in the past century, and if satoshi kon's work is any indication into the goings on inside japan and specifically the anime industry, then japan was pretty much like a sea of porcupines before the 2011 tsunami. I see such a dramatic change in the soul of anime because of the tsunami and I feel that kill la kill was an embodiement of that change. Love hina was filled with hope and ambition and stayed focused around those themes well into negima, but now anime is so filled with anger, and I think all of you need to relax a little with the negativity towards what is an isolated island nation trying to reach out to the world just because you thought their writing was lackluster. They were just annilihated by the most powerful tsunami we've ever seen and there wasn't a country in the world 1/10th as prepared for tsunamis as japan was, and then a nuclear meltdown followed and it's like an infected wound in the soul of japan. There is hope in anime still, but it's a nation in mourning, and in recovery, so just take it easy. There doesn't need to be a massive ban storm for you guys to get the picture because I know how much smarter all of you are than the rest of the forums and as an aside if you hadn't realized it yet, I'm not going to be flinging insults at anyone, ever, it's not who I want to be.

i think antidoomer thought can veer into a sort of weird nihilism in its own right, where you get very concerned about people being concerned about actually serious issues because you feel it is pointless to care about things. i think theres room for balance and understanding not everyone thinks, reacts, or copes with things like you, and that is okay. e: like if the thought of future climate disaster upsets you, that's a normal reaction to reality.
