Seems like corporate FUD but still important if corporate FUD is being used.

    FUD means “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.” I’m not following how you think that’s what’s happening here? I mean, I think you’re accusing the Kodokawa execs of bullshitting, but what they’re expressing is the opposite of FUD.

      Oh man, people really just repeat phrases without actually understanding what they mean. It’s very fucking annoying. I’ve also seen people refer to literally anything they don’t think is funny as boomer humor, even if it’s like a Gen Z meme.

      I also hate that phrase. It encourages you to blindly follow instead of wisly questioning

        Oh, yeah, it’s use in the crypto space is absolutely part of cult conditioning. Any reality check, any sensible question, any appeal to reason, it’s all FUD. Only blind unquestioning faith in the rapture… I mean TO THE MOON… is acceptable.

      The article is from eurogamer so you have to temper your expectations of the literacy of the readership.

          Given the upvote I’m guessing the two of you are part of the aforementioned eurogamer readership…

              Thank you so much for your concern and apologies in advance. Im well aware I need to work on dumbing down my writing to be accessible to everyone. Sorry for my ableism, I promise to work on myself to be more inclusive. Again, apologies if I made your head hurt, that was not at all my intention. I hope you have a splendid weekend.

                Damn dude. Do you work for the circus? I think you could be the lead clown. You’d thrive in that job.

                  Thank you, appreciate your compliment, It’s a pleasure to be a source of entertainment. I used to train chimps, perhaps that’s where my talent to amuse primates derives from. Always nice to feel appreciated, thanks stranger.

                    Np man. You might want to also consider joining the chimps. I’m sure you would be fed well and someone might actually be able to train you to make hand signals and shit. I think you could really benefit.
