They need to start authenticating accounts with phone number. It would end ban evading, mass reporting, a lot of trolling and the paranoia people get trying to guess who is who. Not saying the above person is another Bloodbane alt tho.
I actually think Bloodbane themselves might be an alt as well.
I genuinely donât think so. Theyâve been posting at the same time Bloodbane has and they donât seem to be related at all in any way. Maybe I am wrong idk, but I donât wanna start seeing Bloodbane everywhere now lol
Name is notanalt tho so probally someoneâs alt. Donât care really, I like what I have read from them so far lol.
All I am saying is we are promoting the usual bully behavior.
If people cared about OPâs mental health they wouldnât reply like this. Itâs better to just not reply. People here are just hitting people while they are down.
Just, donât, reply next time. Why bump this thread? Will there be any good from it?
It takes little effort to discern not through the troll name you chose for this alt account, but how you talk and discuss the same themes. Youâre not smart. Youâre desperate for attention.
I was actually one of the few here being empathetic and compassionate. I think they need to discuss this stuff in a more welcoming place than here and I am not going to jump at anyoneâs throat, no matter how theyâve behaved. I understand everyoneâs response to this, but I have been around people in poor mental health enough to know theyâre not easy to be around of. Most people just react negatively to them and thatâs also understandable.
You did well. Schylaâs comment was the typical âfarming for likesâ practice common on this siteâa standard âno, youâ response with no real insight.
It was simplistic, appealing to those who prefer easy-to-digest remarks. Schyla obviously didnât care, but seeing people like the comment is frustrating.
I think it was related to some other argument on a different thread where the OP tried to deny the alt allegations with an evident lie and a few people called them out for it and started a whole argument, and thatâs why the OP made this thread. I agree itâs all very counterproductive but itâs just action-reaction. A big part of the reason why people struggling with severe depression progressively distance themselves from everyone around them is because their behavior starts to be unbearable to everyone and they push them away. Itâs unfortunate but if it happens in the real world and between long time friends, imagine this in a virtual videogame forum.
I like Schyla, I think their reaction is just natural. I donât share it tho.
Youâre about 3 threads late to the entire discussion.
The first thread they started, which is now deleted, there were about 6 of us who were genuinely trying to help. There was like 200 replies in that thread. We were ALL genuine. We asked them to get help. I even pleaded and used my experience from watching fellow veterans go through issues and depression leading to many deaths.
The OP spat in our face. Called us liars and terrible people for no other reason than believing we were just people on a forum who really didnât care at all and were just making stuff up. Other people pleaded and one by one the OP went on and on about how they were liars and lacked empathy. One by one those posters gave up and backed off because of how nasty the OP was being. People offered to talk to OP in game. In discord and again OP called everyone a liar and false caring.
So, you see, you donât have the full story. The OP doesnât want help. Thatâs been proven already. They literally blamed everyone else for them being depressed as if it was our direct fault citing political agendas about banning weapons, etc.
So donât act like these forums werenât genuine with people who care. Iâve already personally helped several posters before. Iâve helped several friends in game and talked to them when they were depressed and offered to talk to them.
The OP doesnât want any of that.
So all those likes you see are from people who either did try to help the OP and the OP got nasty with them or people who know the full story, not from people who didnât care.
Just look at the title of the thread. Itâs clear OP just wants to mock everyone.
I didnât know the full story either, I havenât paid as much attention to the forum these days. That is important context for sure. I still think some people with severe depression or other conditions can do all this and more, refuse any kind of help and be completely insufferable and unstable, yet still be genuinely suffering. So probably better to ignore and stay out of it.
Anyways, this entire thread should be closed soon for everyoneâs wellbeing lol
I think at this point it is delusional to believe that Bloodbane/Moondance is even slightly suicidal. I know that the first instinct is to always believe, and as Schyla detailed that was the communityâs first reaction. It was my first reaction and it took a while for me to shake it. Itâs just common decency to give the benefit of the doubt at first.
But weâre talking about someone here who clearly uses other peopleâs caring like a plaything. Heâll admonish us for how little we care, what bad humans we are, and then pivot into a sob story to try to get reassurance from people. Itâs blatantly manipulative and a recipe for getting away with crap when dealing with naive people. The intent is to disarm.
Iâm very confident that Bloodbane has someone in his life who enables his addictions and behaviors, who is perhaps not completely naive but who is particularly susceptible to this extremely basic strategy, probably a parent or aunt/uncle. It works on them and it makes Bloodbane feel clever so he thinks itâll work on people generally. In essence, he was born into an emotionally abusive relationship where either he is the abuser, or (more likely) it is mutually abusive.
So what weâve fundamentally got here is a 110 IQ narcissist who sees himself as a 200 IQ hustler posing as a genuine victim, and is going around collecting fake sympathy from people with the emotional manipulation equivalent of the Martingale strategy. And when I say âfake sympathyâ I donât mean that his sob story is 100% fake, as I said I suspect an abusive relationship growing up. I have no doubt that his sob story is some eclectic combination of truths, exaggerations and outright lies. In which percentages, I donât think even Bloodbane knows anymore. One of the biggest epistemological risks of narcissism, especially when it begins at a young age, is getting so emersed in your own BS that you canât even tell whatâs real and whatâs invented anymore.
The best thing for a narcissist is defeat. They can only really move on and change for the better if their mind canât rationalize that their methods are effective. Being soft here is being cruel to Bloodbaneâs potential future self.
Just a sharing and not targeting the message to anyone.
I have encountered many people whom cared. Cared alot. But, they are clueless at what is the best method to help. Often, they help and advise based on thier own experience which is totally different from the âvictimâ.
Often, they just want people to listen. No help nor advise needed, or should I say wanted.
In particular to this thread, I believe you more than the âthemâ. However, I am very wary to participate with any engagement.
As someone above mentioned,
âTheyâ might be(had) experience something hard. âTheyâ might be manipulating the forumâs emotion.
But in the context of a forum, we need not get so involved. Least, we get entangled by the mess.
