Quote from: Antiquation!;1086042Edit: And what exactly is a "bad actor"?

I think it is referring to people like Nicholas Cage.  

Quote from: Shasarak;1086037I think that is web site ranking so from 25,000th most popular down to 40,000th most popular.

Ooooooooooh!  Got it.  Sorry.

Quote from: Antiquation!;1086042Bit of a tangent, can someone tell me what the fuck typing the word "vibes" over on TBP means? Is this the secular version of sending prayers via Facebook likes or some shit?

Edit: And what exactly is a "bad actor"?

Your take on the word "vibes" is my take on it. That doesn't make it correct, but I suspect it to be at least close.

If so, that's embarrassing and stupid for more reasons than I can elucidate.

Whatever they say it is of course!

Yes, its a short hand for saying "I agree with this, I vibe with this." and isn't the secular version, more the Tumblr version. It isn't something you see a lot of except in circles that are sufficiently filled with the type of person who buys 200$ crystal healing remedies for their unvaccinated child.

A "bad actor" is someone who pretends to be invested or interested in a topic but is not genuinely interested or is doing so only to harass, exhaust, or bother someone. An example would be a man who listens to your wife complain about work while you're on a deployment, they are not actually interested in what your wife is saying and are instead playing the part for less than ethical purposes. This is commonly used to dismiss people who are trying to get information or ask questions in the same way that concern trolling, sealioning, and other terms are used to dismiss people. If you show up in a thread about bread and ask "Why do people like bread so much?" you may be labeled a bad actor as they believe that you are not sincerely interested and only want to antagonize people, especially if you continue to ask questions or they are difficult to answer.

TLDR; Its a term used to label you as a bad person and met punishment that cannot be definitively verified and exists in the mind of the claimant.

Chair Force.

The part quoted apparently is also "sealioning". I think.

I've got jokes.

As an aside, one thing I noticed in the outrage thread at BP? None of the brown shirts being outraged go to that con.

Sealioning is regardless of your intention, you can mean well and still be sealioning. A bad actor always acts with percieved malice, towards the faith or towards the individual. Its a hierarchy of badness that can be hard to pick out without gazing long into the abyss and it really isn't worth it to be able to read and comprehend the innane shit it usually means. The level dip into Social Justice Wizard just for the "Read SJW" Cantrip is probably the worst build decision I've made in my life. Really tanked my BAB...

Sealioning is a term invented by delicate assholes who don't like being called on their shitty, worthless opinions.

That sounds like nuance to me.  Is that allowed?
