There's a quote from a Terry Pratchett book that I don't remember perfectly that basically describes people passionate about niche hobbies (I think it was bird classification, in the book?), and has the main character consider this for a moment, and come to the conclusion that people need to be in control of something in their lives- they're in control of so little around them, but they can certainly make sure this singular bit of the world is matching their standards, or die fighting on that hill against the bastards who want to do something foolish like classify Toucans as Flamingoes.Current pet peeve: People taking this stuff way too seriously. Like, did we forget that power scaling is a hobby? Not worth all the insults, accusations, bad faith, etc.
Honestly, puts it all into perspective when viewed from that lens.There's a quote from a Terry Pratchett book that I don't remember perfectly that basically describes people passionate about niche hobbies (I think it was bird classification, in the book?), and has the main character consider this for a moment, and come to the conclusion that people need to be in control of something in their lives- they're in control of so little around them, but they can certainly make sure this singular bit of the world is matching their standards, or die fighting on that hill against the bastards who want to do something foolish like classify Toucans as Flamingoes.
I think about this sometimes when I look at VSBW, where people vehemently argue about the least important shit I've ever seen, and it makes me forgive them for the pettiness of it all. You have so little in this world, you may as well have a profile with the right damn statistics.
the upgraders should all be flogged, however
Me when I vandalize a profile from 7-B to 5-A (The reddit voices told me to)the upgraders should all be flogged, however
what about people who create a bunch of pages for animals in fictionthe upgraders should all be flogged, however
Bro you're sounding likeTllmbrg should be flogged but not flogged as often as people who solely make more and more reaching upgrades

I've never really related to that. I don't see the point in pretending a character has an ability it doesn't actually have.
I've mentioned this a few times before.though other times it is legitimately just that they want higher ratings. Either way it results in a very “us vs. them” mentality
Literally me fr frYou have so little in this world, you may as well have a profile with the right damn statistics.
This is true. I saw a recent thread pass where a character was given Type 1 CM for the statement that they "used the concept of [x]." There was no further explanation as to what the nature of that concept was, it seemed to be assigned "Type 1" completely arbitrarily.It's not "This verse has conceptual powers, I'm gonna verify which type they would fall under per this wiki's definitions" that they do, it's "Verse High 1-A CM Type 1 Upgrade".
join the calc mineIma be honest i just like Funny numbers which is why once a verse hits 3-A i kinda just tune off.
The problem of being in a community-driven wiki but the community is related to the larger culture that tends to skew towards inflating their favorite characters' powers and statistics.This is true.

This being your first message on the forum is CRAZY40% or more of the pet peeves of this thread can be summed up to "the feeling of importance"
wait till you meet the Platinum Star Shiller with his Class GSeeing the mindless bickering between isekai powerscalers is peak brainrot material.

Visual mode? You mean the preview mode button at the top right corner? Cause if so then I am sure I wasn't using it, I checked.Check if your on visual mode
I had no clue that was a thing at all. Thanks, I fixed it now. Still can't send it since it's closed...Nope, like the wiki editor, the posting editor has 2 modes, one where you see the post as it would appear and one where you see the syntax of the post.
If youre in syntax mod then you cant use the shortcuts above, like insert image, links or cursive/bolding
What schizophrenia looks likeI imagine if a Chaotic Evil person saw my or any comments talking about the importance of citations, they would create this ******* Odin-forsaken profile.
