What's up with the influx of rage baiters?

[Flugeo]

I just can't believe in sincerity of these people. Coming to the release of the biggest WH40K videogame there has ever been and shamelessly complaining about what country made the game or the "inclusiveness" problems. They either don't know the lore and genuinely come to bait for some clown points (like kydauran) OR trying to be a nuisance and ruin the fun. What I'm way more surprised about is that normal people whose parents actually gave them good upbringing and happy childhood (unlike the rage baiters') spend their points on clown awards, thus encouraging the persistence of ragebait phenomenon. It'd be rational to comment something expressive under those idiotic posts, report or whatever and leave. Why give them your points?

Warhammer 40k has a garbage fanbase now face it. Politics or not the community is barely worth interacting with and are more often than not obsessed with a culture war no matter the side since 40k is seen as this last bastion of based sci-fi

Obvious bait is eaten because people wanna larp and protect the purity of a miniature toy game. They take the lore too seriously and act mental. The bigger 40 k gets the worse it’s fanbase gets

Seething heretic

I’m not a leftist but your part of the issue buddy, 40k used to be normal until the last couple years. It’s a miniature war game not some political piece being anti woke but its ALSO not media literacy.

GW markets space marines as big heroes and typically always justifies the actions. However GW then gets scared when they see people idolize them so they hamfist a “okay wait 90% of our lore books justifies the imperium but they aren’t good okay?”

Then they go back to selling overpriced plastic acting clueless to how the fanbase truly acts

Putins gonna draft you real soon Ivan better start training for a real war that’s not a culture war.

Are you new to these forums? This happens on every new game release, they are farming jester awards. Check out Wukong's forums for example

[Slithy]

Everybody making it about politics and other nonsense are so off it's hilarious. You couldn't be further off. Politics is cause of the awards, but not the reason for the posts.

The reason for all the rage bait is because, simply enough, there is an incentive for it. Before Steam awards there was the on-off "I'm in this for the lulz" troll that would move on. Now?

"Please add LGBT+ content" - I lure in the anti-woke crowd.
"Please remove the LGBT+ content" - I lure in the woke crowd.

Depending on the game forum you're on, the bait depends; just like fishing.

I got to Concord, pre-cancellation, and I say "LOL! You're all doomed to fail because of your woke agenda. Look at the numbers!" and every single gullible wokie is going to come out in force to Jester, ridicule and so forth me as a "bigot" while I get bank on Steam awards.

I go to the Space Marine 2 forums and say "Please add female Space Marines" and the anti-woke crowd has an aneurysm and bombards the Jester award.

Because incels are triggered snowflakes who can't resist hating on anyone who has different opinions.

So, firstly, the "incel" thing is such an overused insult. Secondly, that is contradictory. They have different opinions and YOU HATE them having a DIFFERENT OPINION from YOUR OPINION; therefore, YOU HATE that THEY HATE your opinion because it doesn't align with THEIR OPINION.

You essentially pulled a 12th Catholic Church "but mine is the true faith" approach and didn't even realize it.

It actually pretty simple, they use whatever topics will make people send them awards in points, they use those points to buy items, they than turn those items into gems, they either use that money to buy more games or other ToS things.

They legit farming people for points/money.

the people throwing shade at all the idiots whining about wanting female space marines are far better than all the ♥♥♥♥♥ rage baiters posting complaining either trolling or genuinely for it. it's all insufferable garbage whining of giant children that think they can walk into a new hobby and cry until it bends to them. doesn't matter the hobby, those people are trash and deserve every bit of disrespect they get.

How do you not get that these are the exact same people? They're not being subtle. It's 100% trolling.

A theory: The game isn't entertaining enough, so they entertain themselves by spamming the discussions?

[donut32]

they are in the business of clown farming

and business is booming
