Starkiller vs. Vitiate

No, thats the awkward thing. You think you can do that but you then you just randomly squeal that I'm unset and laugh in triumph but all I'm ever doing is making this face irl 😬

Its like watching flat-earthers hi-5ing over their brilliant arguments while the opposition just looks into the camera like they're on the Office.

Also my reaction to Ant was more about the fact that everyone knows Nai shits in your eyes at every opportunity.

Indeed? You should tell this guy.

That's a bizarre English expression btw. mmm

Yeah, dig up a 4 year old post to prove how totally not a over-invested loser you are. That'll work. 👆

Past me was an idiot, practically nothing that guy says was ever right. Present me is well aware that Nai dominates you every time he posts and that I just had your back out of loyalty. Thankfully now I know that you're a huge douche so theres no chance of that anymore.

Well thank God you're not getting emotional about this. 😬

That you're a huge douche, is merely a fact that I am stating clearly for the record. It comes from a place of acceptance, not rage. Please respect our differences, arseface.

Spoiler:
This is why you have a reputation for emotional insecurity. All of this because Ant indicated that I'm a better debater than you.

Pro-tip: Any post where I reference Homestuck isn't one in which I'm angry.

tbh tho defending your emotional outbursts so extensively indicates that 1) you really care if people think you're emotional and 2) you probably are

just saying m7

No one here watches? reads? listens to? that shit tbh. mmm

Anyway, I quite honestly have nothing to do with your ongoing feud with Ant and I'd ask that you kindly leave me out of it. There's no need to besmirch our longstanding and rewarding friendship because you're upset with somebody else.

Thats why its so funny to steal jokes from it all the time.

It doesn't faze me that Ant would imply that, he openly states it practically all the time. It was just how nuts that suggestion was. Plus I got to post that gif.

It takes 10 seconds to write a post. I prefer to reply to people and keep up the funny banter than leave them hanging.

The fact that I absolutely amAnt believes I'm a better debater than you and apparently conveys that with regularity only makes your behavior here even more suspect.

What this has to do with Nai is anyone's guess. Sure, maybe Ant thinks I'm a better debater than Nai. So do you. You're simply saying otherwise presently because you're mad at me for some reason.

It's funny you mention banter because that's what I've been telling you this is for years now.

I'm trying to understand your thought process, Neph. Just let me in, baby.

Ant rags on me in general bro. He outright insults me. It doesn't bother me, dunno why I'd be offended by that post in particular. He doesn't gush about you all the time, much as I'm sure you want to think he does.

I'm saying it because he recently clowned you. And has done a lot over the years. You're the one making a big deal over my reaction.

Actually, you promised a response that you've yet to provide and have spiraled rapidly into attempted trolling.

Which sincerely pleases me. excellent

At least I'm doing you the courtesy of insulting you while refuting your arguments. The fact that I've driven you to such lengths is particularly gratifying.

Nowhere does that require this particular iteration of Vitiate to be comparable to any and all iterations of Sidious. Starkiller can defeat this incarnation of Vitiate and yet Vitiate ultimately be a peer of Sidious. These things aren't mutually exclusive.

If you were thinking critically rather than emotionally, you'd understand that. excellent

You've done a fine job thinking critically. 👆

The feeling is mutual Temp, I like you too but sometimes you say illogical things. 🙂

Again, that has nothing to do with me and I've kindly asked you to keep me out of it. I'm not responsible for his endorsements, though I can't deny his keen perception on this matter.

I never claimed Ant gushes about me all the time. You did. 😬

Nah, Ant's remark was made to another user and you got worked up about it. It had nothing to do with you. All I've done is simply point out that your hostility on the subject is bizarre since you apparently agree with the sentiment.

Which of course leads to the obvious conclusion that you're only publicly dissenting now because you're upset.

I understand why Ant's insults would bother you, but what about his remark about me did you perceive to be an attack on you?

Let's discuss.

Except they are. You said they were close before SoR came out so you were referring to SWTOR Vitiate. Since you were referring to DE Sidious and SWTOR Vitiate, and since DE Sidious > OT Sidious >>> Galen, you're basically saying that SWTOR Vitiate would give DE Sidious a good fight but novel Vitiate would lose to Galen? 😂

Uh... why not? SWTOR!Vitiate and Revan!Vitiate are worlds apart. The Emperor would eat anything other than peak!Vitiate alive.

Calm down. I'm just pointing out that his post wasn't insulting to me at all. And even if I took it that way, which I didn't, its too tame to get upset over.

In that he says I'm trash constantly. Thats what I meant.

Hostility? Yeah ok, steven universe gifs are super hostile now. Sorry I didn't account for your sensitivities.

Absolutely nothing.

That's an excellent observation and one with which I agree: his remark was not insulting to you and whatever unfortunate implications might be drawn from such a remark are too tame for a healthy mind to take offense.

So why did you take offense?

Originally posted by Nephthys

mmm

But he didn't say you were trash there. His remark wasn't directed to you nor did it imply anything about you other than the obvious: that me being the best debater in history simply means that you're not.

So you drew a wild conclusion from an otherwise innocuous remark and that conclusion is that you're trash. Or rather, that he thinks you're trash.

That's a hell of a leap, and suggests enormous insecurities regarding your image and Ant's opinion of you.

The recognition of hostility and taking personal offense at it are two entirely different phenomena.

Then what's the source of all this frustration, Neph? Why are you so bothered?

I ridiculed the idea with a gif. I took no personally offense.

Oh god. No, you just assumed I made that conclusion a few pages ago after I said something negative about you, remember? You brought it up completely out of the blue. And then I pointed out that I'd really been thinking of Nai. Frankly, that should have been the end of it. Your bruised ego and my willingness to respond to you has kept us going.

I would have to agree with you though. Anyone so insecure that they take anything negative and blow it up to a perceived vendetta does have real issues. Especially if they're completely unable to follow events in reality.

In that you're good at one and not the other. Can you recognize the hostile implication in that sentence???? 😉

Well I have a mild infection in my toe. But other than that, I'm really not at all bothered.
