I told him the same thing a while back. Evidently, he'll never learn. Always comes back every once in a while to complain about this. The mods he is talking about are also the ones who'll do a purge on the posts here, removing even on-topic comments that are caught in the middle of it when it gets too out of hand for their liking.
Yeah it simply not true to say the Mods are ignoring this thread, esp when there was a massive perge just before Christmas. loads of my posts got lost in that.

I don't understand what she wants, the flow of memes is usually about the game and waifus, people joke with each other and have a good time, have a friendly banter, sometimes ofc it happens that things go off-topic, and I also get notifications about deleted posts.
The replenishment in the thread in 2024 is much more friendly and non-toxic than previous generations of users. Of course, there are problematic ones, but now this place is calmer than before, compared to 2022 when I came here.
Tremonia simply made up a non-existent problem.

Making a thread unreadable with spamming page after page waifu bullshit and dumb inside joke memes is the worst form of gatekeeping. In every other thread half of the postings would be deleted by mods and five guys would be thread banned. But mods have given up and don't care about this shithole of a thread. This thread here is just a shitposting chat. Occupied by a hand full of clowns. It's not a cachet, when you enter a thread one day after the last time and there're literally 25 pages to "read" and 24 pages are just circle jerks. Just saying.
Well, there's not much to do man, everything that had to be discussed has already been fucking discussed, even the crazy dalli_x hasn't shown up again because he has run out of inspiration for his crazy theories.:HideThePain:

Its also funny how the complaint was this page is full of shit posts, when at least since last night there has actually been an active argum,ent/discussion about just how shit/useful Josy is to the story - yeah granted its buried a little in the memes, but it has taken quite the centre stage and is pretty hard to miss.

Maybe they like madame and are scared to actually defend her, so they do this non-specific complaining instead.

Eh, I wouldn't at all say she made up a non-existent problem. As she says, the thread is full of memes and spam barely recognisable as being linked to the game. No, that's not all there is, but there's a hell of a lot of it, and it doesn't all get mopped up by mods - that only tends to happen when there's something too extreme or just when the right mod hits the right mood.

Yes, it's all friendly banter, etc., but it makes it a hard to follow thread if you're just interested in news and discussion about the game.

Ah, good sweet Josyposting. It will never cease to be a Special Olympics discipline in this place, it seems.
But I get a couple of facepalms from the guy who said that Maya is abusive towards Josy and harass her.

DIK is most popular AVN with the biggest audience on the forum. It is natural that there will be a lot of posting, including memes ect... Honest response will be: thread have ups and downs.

"24 pages" being just circle jerks is a load of crap too, it's more like 5-10 posts at most. Even then, it's usually still loosely related to the main topic of discussion. No-one that's actually interested in having on-topic discussions, which Tremonia is clearly not, would complain about the memes in this thread.

How can it be hard? Any time there's a status update, there's lots of replies right underneath it. It'd be harder for me to miss a status update or news in general than not to. If you log on here days after a status update has been posted and are frustrated with the many pages of posts discussing something unrelated to that which have followed, then that's your problem.

I mean that isn't really wrong she is awful gf to josy and has done really shitty things bordering on Patrick level to Josy
While I can agree that Maya has done some shady shit to Josy (and to be fair Darkwen, Josy has done some shady shit back too - lets not forget that they both cheat with the MC before Josy comes to B&R) I wouldn't call it emotional abuse and its definitely not bordering on Patrick shit.

Yeah, that's a pretty weird statement from Darkwen. I'd like to know what actions are "bordering on Patrick level"

If we aren't seeing or hearing about Josy and Maya spending time together then they probably aren't
Do you realise how silly that is? How many stories, games, films, TV shows, etc, do you know of that show and tell you every single thing the characters get up to when not on screen? Because I'll tell you right now, they don't do that. You might get some expositional dialogue about off-screen stuff, but it's not a necessity nor a guarantee in any story to be spoon-fed this kind of info as you seem to think should happen. You only assume they don't spend any time together because you want that to be the case since that fits into your narrative and you take any lack of confirmation as proof of your narrative when it isn't. We don't know for sure in the other direction either, but at least we're not denying the truth of their relationship situation and the feelings they have for each other like you are, so us assuming they are spending some time together off-screen is at least more reality-based than your view.

but if they are then I think that worse for the throuple because of poor there relationship is.
Eh, no, because their relationship is not "poor" on the throuple, it's in a better state with him, and if they spend time together unseen on that, that's a good thing. There you go again with the alternate reality malarkey.

On throuple it is 100% relevant to show us if Josy and Maya are spending time alone.
In Ep 6 it was relevant to show Maya's insecurities about being with a guy and being part of this new, unconventional relationship. In Ep 8 it was relevant to show them discussing some things and clearing the air a bit. After that, there hasn't been, imo, anything we needed to see of them when alone together that's relevant to the throuple overall or the MC. If there is, we would see it, but a scene with them that's just them hanging out, being intimate, etc, that doesn't relate back to the relationship overall is not necessary.

They might blame Patrick but that is taking the easy out it clearly it is them Maya in ep10 was starting to see that but didn't go all the way it yet. Again Patrick isn't the issue with Josy and Maya
It's not an "easy route" when someone's Dad is literally threatening their entire future over their relationship and they're having a hard time finding a way out of the predicament. It's an apparently serious threat and their caution is warranted albeit difficult to deal with. Not to mention the fact that Maya's probably worried Patrick could cut her off from seeing her Mom and she wouldn't want that and he might even take it out on Derek too. There's a lot for stake for her here and they both know it, that's why it's so difficult for them.

There is a saying, "love conquers all", but it can still be a difficult road to get there. It's not as easy as saying, "I choose you", in a relationship that faces some adversity and it's all flowers and rainbows after that. At the end of the road, sure, love may conquer and things are alright, but it's not always an easy road to travel and bumps can appear that you either overcome or trip you up.

Right now, Maya's caught in a position where she potentially has a lot to lose - Josy, college, inheriting massive debt, access to her dying Mom - because of her Dad's threat, and as much as she loves Josy, which she does, it's hard for her see a way out of all this where things work out and she doesn't lose all this. That's perfectly understandable to feel like, as much you love someone, you don't want to lose other things that are also important to you. That's what makes it so difficult for her to just choose Josy and why she can't choose the opposite because both choices hurt her. Josy, meanwhile, also knows what's at stake for Maya and wouldn't want to see someone she loves, which she does, get hurt or otherwise face serious issues over this. She's caught between wanting to be with Maya, not wanting to hurt Maya, but also wanting a less stressful relationship. That's why she "doesn't know" what she'll do if things go wrong at the dinner because she's conflicted between all these things.

So Patrick and his threat IS the wedge that's causing issues, that really can't be denied even though you are trying desperately to say that it isn't because you can't handle the truth of the situation and want to live in your own version of the narrative.

From what I've seen, this guy tends to make a lot of weird statemtents that aren't much based in reality, so is it really much of a surprise they've done it again? :LOL:

But, if I were to hazard a guess, it's probably that moment at the start of Ep 7 because everyone usually points to that even though I think it's a perfectly understandable emotional reaction. I mean, Maya's feeling like the HOTs just humiliated both of them by lying to them about the tuition, but mostly that her hopes at getting out from Patrick's control have been dashed, and then her gf still says she wants to join that sorority. So when Josy says that, it feels like a betrayal, it feels like Josy doesn't have her back, and nobody wants or would like to feel that about their partner, so her reaction is understandable, imo, and definitely nowhere close to Patrick levels of abuse. That's a crazy thing to say.
