It's only manipulative bullshit from pathetic loser redditors who know they're wrong but are too fucking pretentious to ever admit it. They start with flat-out denial because they assume you won't have proof. The second you bring receipt after receipt, they just change their monolithic NPC response to "it's rare", then "who cares lol" and finally settle on their generic, mindless rhetoric.

When they have zero actual logical arguments left to hide behind, they go straight to infantilizing you and treating you like piss so they can pretend they "won" the interaction while never giving a fuck about the actual argument.

The entire point of this is to piss you off until you walk away out of frustration, allowing them to sit back and pretend their original gaslighting bullshit was valid all along.

Especially when they include a LOUD ASS FUCKING NOISE. It seems like almost every game does this. I hate leave prompts, they shouldn't even be allowed 😭

Whoever figured out you can create a popup when a player tries to leave, FUCK YOU

It doesn’t even fucking highlight the response-to-the-response comment when I click the notification. And it doesn’t even matter to me! Like I’m not even talking to this person

edit: and while we’re at it, youtube does the same thing, but it’s even worse because it’s replies to a comment that YOU replied to! like i don’t give a fuck what 30 bots have to say to the guy i responded to 3 days ago

This is a great example.

This particular video is of a pop-MMA qualifying fight.
The guy in red is named Rinat Khamitov, and the guy in black is not an influencer and just a contestant like everyone else. (Don't know his name)
The particularly hard punch that sent the guy in black into a "fencing posture" (which is evidence of a concussion and possibly brain damage), was not over a sucker punch but because the guy in black hit Rinat after the ref called for a stop, so he got angry.

(In Russian so you'll have to translate it with a plugin or something)

Rinat hoped the guy in black would be alright and even wanted a rematch, which didn't work out because the guy in black was still in the hospital.

But it's framed as an arrogant shitty influencer getting what he deserves after fucking around and finding out.
All the replies are making fun of the guy in black, that he "entered BIOS" or "got factory reset" and think it's hilarious seeing him have a seizure from a concussion and possible brain damage because he deserves it.
Lot of people there laughing at the guy in black for having a seizure, and finding it funny that Rinat even mocked his seizure by faking having one of his own, because "well he's just a shitty influencer so he deserves it".

Even if the was really a shitty influencer, I still find it fucked up to be laughing about this and thinking he deserves fucking brain damage, but he didn't do anything at all. He's just a normal dude that was fighting in a match afaik, not an "arrogant influencer".

I see this stuff all over Reddit, and people always instantly believe what they see and then downvote you if you disagree.

Also bonus: Hiding or withholding context to make one side look bad.
I've seen it in r/texts and other places as well. They only give one side (or partial sides) of a conversation in a screenshot, but not what led up to it, making the other party look bad and crazy while everyone in the replies sides with the OP.

Standing outside a mental health support group meeting, and a really pushy Evangelical Christian is trying to convince a new member of the group to say a prayer and convert to christianity. This person has been gently counseled over and over again that this is a secular group, and that while they are welcome to talk about how their faith has helped them, but it's NOT the place for evangelizing. They won't listen. When previously asked to tone it down, they got upset, and started talking about how they have freedom of speech and will not be silenced. They don't seem to understand that it's about boundaries, not control. No one is trying to stop you from being christian, unless being Christian necessitates being really really pushy and annoying.

It's such a stupid fucking add about how "you'll be left behind if you don't learn to use ai." Fuck that, and fuck this grifter, and fuck YouTube for showing this shit to me nonstop.

I don’t have to be an elite movie creator or what ever to say a film is bad. It’s so frustrating because sure I can’t do better, but there still bad. It annoys me so much I am going to scream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Like I get WHY but it’s so fucking annoying

I could select what I want a bit faster if they used other colours to distinguish themselves, like yellow, lime, pink, purple, brown, orange, rainbow, mint, checkered, slime, zigzags, gold, chocolate, spiral or beige.

I hate them. It is so frustrating when I comment on a post and to move on to the next post only for these WORTHLESS PILES OF DIRT to appear in my notifications rather than something I actually look forward to. I don‘t need to know that I get these achievements. They do nothing but agitate me. I cannot describe the anger and rage that I experience when I check my notifications, excited that one of my posts or comments might have gotten a new interaction, only for these creatures to appear instead. I HATE THEM! IIIIII HAAATTEEEEE THEMMMMMMMM!!!! But yeah, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
