The anti-treat posts on here make me want to block people.
Rightly so.
The joke I was attempting to construct was that the economic system we live under isn’t just broken, but so broken that even the token benefits (like treats, to keep us just comfortable enough to revolt) are becoming as systemically broken as the things they’re supposed to distract us from.
Complicating my awkward joke was butchering it into the format of a gamergate-eque statement (ie, it’s not games it’s <everything isn’t my version of perfect about ethics in journalism>.
I know it’s been 5 days since I wrote that throw-away joke and I was absurdly wired and tired when I wrote it. On reflection though, I think I like the joke still unlke most of the cringe I post. To sort of reduce it to blatant absurdity, it’d be something like:
Don’t get distracted about surge pricing for restaurants, it’s about people starving to death because they don’t have money.
Apologies for the pedantry. I might be evolving into the cringiest version of myself. :/
I can’t tell if you are joking about treats/having nice things at times. The anti-treat posts on here make me want to block people.

It’s okay.
We all deserve treats, but what makes treats treats is that no one should have too many.
You can be cringe, as a gamer treat to yourself.
I’ve been treating myself to some sincere posting. It’s a bold new flavour for me.
