I know, it's been ages. Let me start fresh. With a reference to the past.
I used to hitch hike through Europe, with a close friend. We'd work in farms and factories during the year to make money to go and hitch hike in summer. Everywhere. The good thing about hitch hiking, we figured, was you only meet the nice people because assholes don't stop & take you with them. Only nice people do. Worked like a charm.
But I was 16 then and the internet not invented. Would take almost a decade more.
And now we live in the time of the internet and I'm starting to realise it's reversed. It's the other way around now. Nice people digest and, like or not, move on. It's only the assholes to stop and comment, negatively. Downvote AND comment.
You'll never get it right for the assholes. There's always something to bitch about. Also, assholes don't read, don't take in information but only shitstorm from their rectum. "It takes forever to get to the porn, this is such a BAD game!"
The first sentence under my adult content warning is that this is a LONG game and you'll have to navigate at least 90 pages before you get to the animated porn. Added to that is: if you are here for a quick fap I suggest you visit porn hub. No hard feelings.
But no. They rage and rage because they can't wank fast enough and, worse, that this is my fault. I came here with an *expectation* and YOU didn't meet that expectation, you fucking bastard! I did NOT get the instant gratification I'm so accustomed to and it's YOUR FAULT you cunt!
All the nice people drive on, all the fucking cunts stop to bitch.
It gets worse.
I register supporters on a database, manually (I like not trust the code of others) which I do as soon as possible and always within 24 hours. So what's the posts, ALL THE POSTS on my community channel? 'Het man, how do I log in' Red text, black background, first parapraph, in your face kind of thing: "Please remember I have to manually add you to the database which I'll do as soon as possible but within 24 hours. You'll get an IM when it's done."
Red, black, big, first, it doesn't matter. "Hey, I can't login, whatsup?' It gets even better. Because, and I think it must be a record because I was about to go to bed on a Sunday, 3AM when I see there's a new patron. Oh. Payment not confirmed. Let's give it a few minutes. Ah. Pyment confirmed. Let's add him/her to to database and go to bed.
Before I can do so however I get an email alert because I have a new post: "Yo! Dude! New Patron! How do I log in?" This is 15 seconds after payment was confirmed, right smack on top of 5 other posts asking the same thing, getting the same answer: "I'll have to .... which I have just done ... see the IM .. have fun"
3AM. On a fucking Sunday. What am I? Your bitch? Fuck no. Your demand for instant gratification will not be met. The internet has made you believe that you have the right, no, the obligation to be a self obsessed cunt but I'm not playing along. Thank you for your support but a fucking $1.49 a month doesn't give you the right to 'Yo' me. We didn't go to school together. This is not the McDonalds because you will be treated the same way as you treat. By lack of employees people work here and if you don't treat them with respect I'm going to get a blow torch and get medieval on your ass. And if that doesn't meet your standards on how the world should behave in the time of the Internet, please remember there's folk around older than the Internet and they just don't take that shit.
Thankfully, even the people who don't read the big, red, first warning are polite (and sometimes a little confused). Hell, most new Patrons seem to read and understand it and I get no hassle at all from them. So, in that respect this post is about an infuriating minority. But it's the assholes that stop. Try to get the analogy. All the nice people, all the 'normal' patrons, they drive past you but it's the assholes that stop and shout at you that give the impression everybody is a cunt. And it's, seriously guys, it's depressing and disheartening. Imagine going to school and get all A's and one single B and everybody is bitching about the B. Is that motivating? Inspiring? Hell fuck yeah THIS is what I work for? No. It isn't. It makes you wanna give up because all the feedback ever is negative. All the nice people drive past.I'd like some nice people to stop once in a while, cheer me on before they continue their journey. Just so I know it's not just assholes in cars in the world around me. For eternity and ever after.
