Empress is considered the best Denuvo cracker in the world. Mostly because she's the only one that is consistently successful.
There are two major trains of thought regarding her. The first: she's a batshit crazy narcissist who is more toxic than a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner where Kanye and Pete Davidson show up unannounced. The second: she's the goddess and the most wonderful woman on the planet and one day she'll recognize my loyalty and I will have a place in her New World Order.
Yeah, she basically wants all gay and trans people to die. Her .NFOs in her releases are completely unhinged and really into the “anti-woke” culture war.
She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don't believe Empress does either.
Right, 100%! They're just trying to see if you're going to be able to sustain yourself and their relationship. No harm there, I'm sure; actually seems like a sign of serious intentions.
I wouldn't be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the "persona" of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.
dont put money into that "announcement". they "exposed" her to be an old cracker who was in the scene many, many years ago. that person is to this day fighting a court case about their time in the scene. they've also written a post somewhere on the net talking about this and how hurt and confused they are to be dragged back into this mess. and the group that did the "exposing" has, as far as i have seen, not provided a single piece of evidence for their claims.
innocent until proven guilty. no one knows who empress is, so you may as well believe she is the woman she says to be.
That's just like your opinion. Also 100% your prerogative too, since you're the first and only one to bring up gender in this discussion, as if it matters somehow.
Narcissist is a slur when it's used in a derogatory sense by someone who does not have the disability. You can say "person with NPD", or pwNPD for short, or you can avoid insulting someone by alleging mental disability in the first place.
Eh, it depends on the intention behind the word. Narcissistic personality disorder is, by definition, a disability (as are all mental disorders). In practice, it isn't treated as such because they're just assholes. Therapy is the only treatment, and the likelihood of a narcissist actually seeking treatment is basically 0.
Most people throw the term around loosely, much like "psychopath." I'm mainly being pedantic and do agree that it is often the best word to use to describe people who exhibit narcissistic symptoms. Selfish and egotistical can be an understatement for even neurotypical people.
I'm just really interested in psychology and have a compulsion to talk about it to internet strangers who never asked and probably don't care.
I sought treatment, and most of the pwNPD I know have sought treatment. The primary barriers to actually getting treatment are cost, and lack of trained psychologists. Insurance doesn't cover personality disorders and therapists don't know how to help us, other than giving generalised PTSD and cPTSD treatment such as schema therapy.
One can be narcisistic without having a personality disorder. Just like one can be shy without being autistic. If you were diagnosed with a personality disorder, you simply have a "better reason" to act that way than when you're just an ass.
you clearly have way too much time on your hands which you spend trying to get strangers on the internet to fight. not everyone is as compulsively aggressive on the internet as you seem to be. since you're so concerned with being fair and politically correct, why dont you ask for a job at your local foodbank? im sure they would appreciate a hand, and you would have to waste far less time online.
I don't try to make people fight. I want them all to agree with me and not be bigots. Do you think I like being harassed? No, of course not. Your worldview where people like being yelled at is very strange.
you quite literally told me to "argue with this person who disagrees with [me]". if that is not instigating a fight for your own gain, i dont know what is.
also, very much ironically, wanting everyone to agree with you without the capability to admit you are wrong is, in its own, very narcisitic. which is insanely funny to me.
You picked a fight with the moderate who believes the word is used by ignorants who are unaware of the history, instead of the person whose views are actually opposite your own who thinks it's only a pathology. It seems to me that both of you want to bully the narcissist out of hate more than a political disagreement, since you have no quarrel with the person who more strongly disagrees with you. Neither of you cares about the content of the arguments you're making, you just want any excuse to continue using slurs, even if two of the excuses you agree with are mutually exclusive opposites.
You said you think it's funny that I'm disabled, after all.
Narcissist is a real psychological term. It describes a pathology. Slurs aren’t words you don’t like to be called. You don’t get to make up what is and what isn’t a slur.
Narcissism is generally seen as a negative trait so there already isn't a non-derogatory way of calling someone a narcissist. Also, there is an acknowledged difference between being a narcissist and having NPD so as much as many here would probably say Empress has some kind of disorder, I bet very few have the credentials to diagnose which means it's the former, and if we're being completely honest, it's a very practical word to describe a person's behaviour. So I guess it has to be a "chill out, snowflake" moment for you.
All disabilities are seen as negative, but it's not derogatory to call someone autistic, paraplegic, or blind, unless it's a deliberate insult. I find your argument unconvincing.
I don't really care if you find what I say convincing but to make this as simple as possible, name one time it's considered good to be identified as narcissistic. And please let's stay relevant and leave out physical disabilities. Only assholes insult the two you named.
pwNPD are, on average, better at magick than neurotypicals. I also generally respect most pwNPD for the trauma they've endured and survived. It's a disability that leads to a lot of suicidality, so being a living pwNPD is an accomplishment.
I also think money is magic, because it's brought into existence by people's belief in it. In my book, magic is believing in something so hard it becomes real. Money obviously fits the bill. Do you not think money is magic? What do you think it is if it's not magic?
Another place where this view falls short is that a person doesn't need to have NPD to act like a narcissist on a regular basis, the same way a person can be volatile and not meet the criteria for BPD.
No, that's not true. It's not true because that's not how we use disability language. Neurotypicals do not act autistic, and they don't act ret**ded. Some people do use words that way, because those words are slurs. Likewise, when you insult someone by likening their behaviour to disability by calling them a narcissist, that's a slur.
It's not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn't one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It's a fact.
