"Do not message me if you are under thirty-five, plan on RPing in your message, use chatspeak, abbreviations and other acronyms, use the word "vibes," use "I mean" or "I feel" in your forum posts, or use modern slang (I do not understand modern slang at all)"
who the fuck are you even going to talk to homie. god forbid we talk about what we mean and feel LMAO
their profile now being: "Once my last nests are hatched, I'm bouncing. I'm not the kind of player that ever had a chance here."
is so funny to me. like yeah, you're probably going to not have a good time online if you refuse to interact with people who act in ways that are common and harmless online....
Maybe it's me being stupid cuz I'm ESL but what the hell do they mean with the "I mean" and "I feel" are those not like extremely normal in various day to day sentences, I am so confused
You're not alone, english is my first language and I have no idea either. The only time I've ever been told to not say "I feel" was for writing research paper in school? But I really doubt it's from something like that? No clue where it's coming from.
Wow. When this topic came up and all the kid haters started posting about not wanting to interact with kids as it inevitably does (which is fine, whatever) I was gonna make a joke about how I find a lot of 20 somethings annoying as fuck and how I should put something in my profile about it... then this person got posted....that's. I'm 35.
"I mean" and "I feel" are normal parts of conversation- we are taught to use these in grade school to help us communicate better with our peers. Unless I'm mis-remembering 6th grade english, "I feel" is proper when you're describing your opinion rather than a fact. I'll admit to having picked up "I mean..." as a sentence starter and use it waaay too often though.... But both are used a lot for like... mediation? Solving arguments? Rather than going "you did this" you're supposed to say "I feel this when..." or something of the like, so that the other person doesn't feel attacked. This is supposed to be an adult way of speaking to another person about the problems you might be having with them. There must be some context we're missing there regarding these.
insert something here about how I grew up online with the everyday conversation rp stuff, that's just how it was in the early 00s in online fandom spaces. The kids are doing it because we were doing it, of the ones that don't immediately go 'cringe' anyway. I can see why it might be ingrained in some people. So it's a little funny to me going onto the rp lite dragon game and not expect some level of rp interaction, just a little.
their old bio is so pretentious ... I would loathe even being in the same room with this person. I bet they're the type to go "erm, ackshually" when you drop any statement ever.
plus stating that you write smut on a CHILDREN'S WEBSITE. there's a time and place for that, and it ain't the dragon png site.
Their mandate that anyone who interacts with them use perfect grammar is even funnier because they use commas and periods inside of parenthesis (Not general 'list' commas but commas that belong to the outside-of-parenthetical sentence). I don't care about grammar but it's funny that they don't meet their own purported requirements
