most of the time we only ever talk about good ol' selly whenCharacterizing a group of people agreeing, discussing, and laughing at each other's comments as "jerking each other off while mocking someone" when it involves a piece of "literature" as bizarre as this one that's headed by such a confrontational (and mockable) developer is really sad for you, man. Just like the other commenter, for the most part you're confusing boredom with emotional investment, even with posts as long as this one.
I'll give you two other examples of similar fandoms: Kingkiller Chronicle, whose fans talk about how the author seems more interested in doing podcasts and DnD shows than writing, and how he stiffed them out of publicly releasing a chapter of the next book that he promised as a charity goal. Or A Song of Ice and Fire fans who talk about how GRRM took time away for Elden Ring and everything else - they gave him so much shit for posting about watching the Super Bowl one time "instead of writing" that other authors stood up for him.
In those cases, people are mad about having to wait a few years to drop $10 on another book - they're not people who've paid them $5+/month for any period of time. I don't think everyone is entitled to an opinion on every topic, but I paid $70 to have one about this game, and you can't go a single page in this thread without hitting another former supporter. So if you think this community is toxic relative to virtually any other fandom, and you refuse to characterize the Discord with the same words when they mock us and "jerk each other off" with an even better reaction culture, you're being completely unreasonable, especially considering the dev in question has directly attacked the staff, the membership, and this website itself on more than one occasion now for ridiculously overblown reasons and has plans to continue.
But no, you've decided that we're all the bad guys because as a group, of course we naturally adopt the views of the most extreme members, and we all talk about literally wanting to kick him off Subscribestar and effectively end development of the game. And I suppose that posts like this one with virtually nonexistent emotional undertones are just as "childish, maniacal, and narcissistic" to you as the barely coherent ramblings he's posted.
And yeah, I responded to a sentence with an essay. It's fun, and since you made it this far, maybe it has value after all
1) the discord members stop by trying to fellate him in this thread
2) when the discord members stop by to try and troll on their own whims or on direct orders
3) when a newbie stops by and asks WTF is wrong wih sel
4)Sel trys a direct attack against this place
other than that we mainly ignore it and talk about the game itself. as for 'planning attacks'
I think I have only seen 1 person outright say something like that, almost everyone else is guessing on whats going to happen when he finally pisses off the wrong person/people and wishing he would just act normal for once.
Its so contradictory to claim we want to fuck him over and to say we are more heavily invested in the game than the people who wasted $1000's on a game made from pirated software. I honestly think the people that have paid are so heavily invested in this at this point that they have no choice but defend anything Sel does or its a giant drop in the bucket for them. he could shoot somebody and wouldn't lose these die hards. it's so bad they dont seem to realize the contradictory nature of what they are saying... I honestly wonder if its just a chat box AI talking sometimes because they show the same tendency towards holes in logic.
I wonder if this is all intentional on Sel's part. he knows what he is doing and wants someone to ruin it for him just so he can 'take the money and run' and have an available scapegoat to point fingers at. but then i remember the patreon fiasco which would have been the perfect time to do just that. I am left with the only conclusion that Sel might have borderline high functioning autism.
