Getting real specific here, but the way my dad always told me to deal with bullies when I was a kid. "Hey, man, come on now! This isn't cool and I think you're smart enough to know that. How about you get your act together and we can go do something real fun instead of this baloney? I'd rather be your friend than your enemy!"

People don't talk like that, Dad. People have never talked like that.

On a (hopefully) more relatable note: people who act like Sonic the Hedgehog is some kind of transcendent piece of fiction. It's cool if you're a fan of his games, comics, whatever, but please acknowledge that he's a blue cartoon mouse in sneakers and should be taken about as seriously as Spongebob before the world is subjected to another Chrischan.

I am with you,no one like viles and rude people.
I am remember this game (if it can be called that) that was released some time ago (it’s been a decade and some).

It was called Dragon Age: Inquisition.

And it featured some 10 or so characters who could be in your party.

What the game didn’t tell you is that they’re all the same character.

One snarky, mean-spirited, bad-intentioned, repugnant and rude person wearing many faces.

Sure, I had thought I figured it out: a party with Blackbeard (whatever his name), and Solus, and that… Cole fellow.

“Finally!”, said I, “A party composition that WON’T have at each other with every second dialogue line spoken!”

— Alas! For the moment we went out into the Hinterlands to get with the dragons laying (I’m not fixing this) they began to denigrate one another, and they did not stop.

If they had offered me literally just one nice party member who didn’t say nasty things every two minutes, I would have endured… but every character shared that same barbed wit and childish petulance with each and every other.

… Also, it didn’t have that nice tactical semi-turn based system from the first dragon age to keep my mind occupied… but I made it through the ‘2’ game on the backs of characters who weren’t all just laying into one another 24/7.

…… maybe if the dialogue wasn’t so cringe it mightn’t have mattered.

My brother (who is in his late 40s) saying LOL (lawl) in conversation.

The things I've said to my boss when I haven't had caffeine. Then thinking about them later.

My attempts at writing smut.

Probably murder hobos in novels and any other media also overdesigned costumes
