 Trigger#1239 | I'm attempting to locate the actual "is your child a gamer" pamphlet from ages ago | 01:57:18 |
 LothusMarque | If you can find an actual serious source on it... otherwise it's just one of any number of stupid meme images trying to stir things up. | 01:57:21 |
| SlotterOtter#5709 | then again | 01:58:55 |
| LothusMarque | That one's more blatant than most >> | 01:59:09 |
| SlotterOtter#5709 | remember the shit they were teaching a class that included gamergate as a hate group and shit? | 01:59:14 |
| SlotterOtter#5709 | nothing is too ridiculous to be real | 01:59:33 |
| LothusMarque | ...kinda. That's also not a bad description of what it turned into down the road after the people who were actually doing more than yelling went off to do their own things, irritatingly so, given the original accusations. I'd also have tagged the card-carrying "Anti" group as one too by that point, though. snort | 02:01:34 |
| LothusMarque | ...problem is, either way, nuance and the timeline is lost. e.e | 02:02:15 |
 StormyStrife | Clownworld is our timeline now. | 02:02:39 |
| SlotterOtter#5709 | ^ | 02:03:16 |
| SlotterOtter#5709 | he gets it | 02:03:24 |
| Trigger#1239 | Damn, can't find it. | 02:04:47 |
| Trigger#1239 | My favorite part about it was that it listed "highly intelligent" as a warning sign for having a gaming problem. | 02:05:58 |
| Trigger#1239 | AHA | 02:06:31 |

| SlotterOtter#5709 | gets my almonds all active n shit | 02:10:06 |
| LothusMarque | To be honest, assuming that's not just something someone mocked up and printed out to make a funny picture, it looks a lot like something that might be pandering to parents. "Does your kid have a video game problem? Do they have low self esteem and no real relationship, but are really intelligent? Help them use that intelligence by coming to see us!" ...lol. It's also possible that whatever criteria they used to get data for the report actually did tag that as a related factor by whatever significance level they needed... but it's probably not actually a RISK. | 02:10:08 |
| LothusMarque | I recognize the OSDUHS as a canadian student drug use/health report, but don't know much about it. | 02:10:42 |
| Trigger#1239 | Oh I'm under no illusions that the pamphlet is treating its data accurately, or even that the data itself was accurate to begin with | 02:10:51 |
| Trigger#1239 | and yes if memory serves this was from a school publication for parents | 02:11:19 |
| Trigger#1239 | though the original source is long lost to me -- I had to get super specific with my search terms to find that image again | 02:11:41 |
| Trigger#1239 | My point in showing it was really just "lists of 'warning signs' or 'risk factors' have been hyperbolic and/or inaccurate for longer than clown world" | 02:13:07 |
| Trigger#1239 | just this week I've been sitting in cubicles working with IT personnel and having corporate printouts on active shooters in my face all day | 02:14:03 |
| LothusMarque | Well, this is true, but where "intelligent" and "also depressed" can be at least related to a lot of things, EVERYTHING in that "extremist" image is like "...what?" ...there's no way it's a serious thing, "clownworld" or no. | 02:14:07 |
| Trigger#1239 | Guy who posted it in Scrump's server confirmed it was a parody | 02:14:30 |
| Trigger#1239 | anyway those printouts are utterly hilarious in their active denial of reality | 02:15:03 |
| Trigger#1239 | full-color page, multiple paragraphs, instructions provided on how to figure out whether someone at work is going to shoot the place up | 02:16:10 |
| LothusMarque | "active denial of reality" .. you're going to have to actually explain why you're calling it that. Though I'm chuckling a bit at the whole instruction manual thing.
We've never had THAT kind at my work, just stuff about what to do WITH an active shooter. I work at a financial institution, after all. | 02:16:58 |
| Trigger#1239 | Nothing on the list of warning signs is remotely unusual except for the most blatantly stupid one | 02:17:09 |
