Was this on Reddit? I know there are some communities there that actively reward users with upvotes for ragebaitey content.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 61 points 6 months ago

Oh you mean all of them?

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 months ago

Yep, reddit content... just thought it was intersting.

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I know we are the BetterThanReddit website, but let's not act like Lemmy is immune from this

[-] VolcanoWonderpants@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

People probably post ragebait here too, but there's a built-in incentive on Reddit, particularly on subreddits like AITA or the Tenth Dentist, where users are encouraged to up vote the most 'interesting' posts, even if they find it offensive. Maybe the equivalents here also have this policy, but upvotes mean a lot more on Reddit than here---some subreddits require a high amount of karma to post, and posting something that's guaranteed to get passed around and upvoted a ton can get people enough karma to make many more posts, have a buffer in place in case a different comment gets downvoted, or just want a lot of karma for bragging rights. Hell, you can even monetize upvotes now, in some cases.

Here on Lemmy, upvotes mainly just pass your content around for the sake of passing it around. Maybe there's an algorithm that is more likely to push an unrelated post you made to the top, but the benefits for posting ragebait here aren't as many as they are on Reddit.

Gotta be trolling, right? Right?

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago

Well, those pregnancy hormones can bring on some unhinged thought patterns but this is Disney villain levels.

[-] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 8 points 6 months ago

Yeah, the fiancé misspellings give it away, too intentional.

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It also seems like they want someone to reply "*fiancé" so people can reply in turn like "out of all the problems you could have with this story..."

[-] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It might be, but the wicked step-parent stereotype is unfortunately very grounded in reality.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 59 points 6 months ago

Man, is that guy screwed. What a horrible, horrible person. And he's having a kid with her so she's going to be in his life even if he bailed on the marriage (which I hope he did).

[-] SternburgExport@feddit.de 49 points 6 months ago

I drink a lot. Mostly to forget.

But sometimes I drink so much, I don't remember what I was trying to forget.

Now I remember.

I need a drink.

jokes aside please don't let this shit be real

Some people shouldn’t have children.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

Well that's fairly rage inducing.

[-] discordatia@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

Everybody is like "This is totally rage bait!" and while, yes, it probably is, this is more common than you'd think. My step-dad tried everything to get my mom to give me up. And treated me like shit. She stayed with him and had two kids by him, but I grew up being treated like an afterthought by both of them. Now I'm 30 and no contact with my mom, meanwhile he's six feet under. And he deserved it.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Man... excuse my French, but your mother is... I would rather not say it...

[-] BluJay320 9 points 6 months ago
[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

he tried everything to give you up except for leaving the fucking relationship apparently.

Comedy writes itself sometimes.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 6 months ago

This troll has to be so happy to see their troll post still lives. Let it die.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

This is literally the plot to Snow White.

Shit posters are gonna shit post.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 months ago

You'd think they'd talk about this before she got pregnant.

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

So the poor guy can escape? Nah gotta chain him before you reveal how horrible you are.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Not enough real world social engineering dating experience leads to this... as it did with me as well.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)
[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Or maybe a bear or something

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 months ago

My advice is that she get help from a therapist that specializes in cluster B personality disorders. Preferably all of them 'cuz holy fuck.

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This reads like most fake-ass rage bait on reddit. Please tell me Lemmy isn't going to start lapping this shit up too..

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 6 months ago

I like to think "faincé" use pronounced like "fancy".

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 10 points 6 months ago

This is the animal part of the human brain. It is the enemy. In the vast majority of people, it is winning.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The caveman part of my brain says that you're a grugn, bash!

Frankly his decorum is improving.

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 months ago

You hear about these people once in a while but to see one actually write it out for everyone to see is a new low

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 months ago

I don't care if it's ragebait, bluntly, anyone who gets into a relationship with someone who has children, and you're "not the step-parent type".... Break off the relationship and dig a hole. Go lay in it and let the earth retake you. You're more valuable as fertilizer than as a person.

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Sounds like she is exactly a stepparent type. Wanting to get rid of your partner's child is common in monogamous animals. That said, it could be very real and you are absolutely right. She should be getting rid of herself.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Just goes to show you, we're not that far from animals.

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I mean we are. Yesterday saw a video of a male macaque waterboarding a juvenile much much smaller than him. Usually males do this type of stuff to kill the child so that the mother is able to reproduce again sooner. And thus increase his chances of reproduction. Except this one, was just doing it out of either play, or to assert dominance. Possibly both. Primates are creatively cruel too.

That sounded really really good 👍.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Is this loss?
