Admins and power

Is it only me, but do I get the suspicion that most admins and moderators are narcissists to a small degree? This site is no exception to that rule.

You know the ones, if they’re right, they’re right, and if they’re wrong, they’re also right; if you dare have the audacity to question them, you’ll very quickly become their public enemy, number one, because how dare you state an observation, right?

Even if you just agree to disagree, that is still enough to anger them; I understand that humans tend to get a bit arrogant, but that’s ridiculous. I mean, I’ve been arrogant before and I won’t hesitate to admit that, it’s not my proudest moments, but they did happen.

We as human beings should strive to be better than that, I believe.

I don’t want to be rude, are you trying to fight the admins and mods?

Sure yes Derpibooru got some interesting past, tho not all people are not bad here.

Heck, I even spoke to a mod, Ciaran, before and he seems chill

I agree with us humans having good rights, I don’t think the admins here are narcissists

“I don’t want to be rude, are you trying to fight the admins and mods?”

—No, but I call things as I see them; it’s just the way I am. Nobody likes having their egos challenged. Most people with power will take that as a personal challenge. They will be compelled to shut that person up just so they feel better, not that I was ever a threat to them personally.

What usually happens when two silverbacks meet each other? A death match ensues and the winner takes their turf and lives, the loser obviously dies. That’s the simplicity of man, too; we like to say to ourselves that we’re better than that, but we’re really not.

The way they deal with punishments is also terrible, just borderline toxic. Even if you’ve learned your lesson and you chose to be better, you’re still slapped in the face with your past sins, because that’s totally not going to get annoying for someone; the past should remain in the past; I would agree with that.

That reminds me of Shadow of War, a fantastic game, by the way, but when you shame an orc, one of two things will happen, either they’ll go mad from the trauma of being shamed, or they’ll become unshamed, and lord have mercy on your soul if you ever encounter the latter.

For those that don’t know, in Orc culture, it is highly disrespectful to shame them and is widely considered to be a fate worse than death, many of them would rather die by your blade than be shamed. (It also looks really painful to go through.)

i’m obviously always correct and can never be wrong and if you think i’m wrong you just don’t see it yet for i see all the outcomes of all things in the universe as we live in a fixed timeline within a simulation where all time is predetermined

Your sarcasm has been noted. I can see that I got an admin’s attention. Like smashing together two steel pots in a hallway full of glass.

I could draw several juxtapositions of modern-day admins and George Orwell’s novel 1984, but I doubt it’ll make a difference.

I do have a bit of a soured history with admins as I find it particularly easy to form a personal bias against them, in general, as they often get very comfortable with exercising absolute power at their metaphorical fingertips. If I got a punishment now, by just speaking what’s on my mind with as much civility as I can muster, if anything, that would only strengthen my point.

That’s also why I left their discord group; my experience around them wasn’t pleasant, to say the least; granted, I did say some things that I shouldn’t have said to people on this site regarding their artwork, and in doing that, I was out of line.

But in their report, they either didn’t care or deliberately took my words out of context, something I loathe very deeply whenever people do that. They made it sound like the only thing I complained about was Borderlands 3 when all I did was use that game as an example to solidify my point, nothing more, nothing less.

I was comparing Opaline to The Calypso Twins if anybody was that curious. That was it; that’s all I did.
The best kind of villain is the one you love to hate; that means they’re doing a good job as the villain. Of course, these villains I mentioned are not those villains. They feel rushed, unpolished, and just out of place; like out-of-touch gen-z people who have no idea why they’re never taken seriously.

Like Nightmare Moon was seldomly seen, but she left an immense scar in the story of Equestria long after she was defeated, the same goes for Handsome Jack in Borderlands.

Yes, this is true on virtually all sites.
Narcissists eill actively seek out power more than the average person.

It’s called The Dark Triad of Psychology for a reason; if we were to ask the three candidates which of the three had the darkest personality trait: The Narcissist would say, “Me;” The Psychopath would say, “I don’t care,” and the Machiavellian would say, “It’s whoever I want it to be.”

Both narcissism and psychopathy can be, even if vaguely, linked to mental illness, but not machiavellianism. With their powers combined, you would get a Malignant Narcissist.

Yikes…

Even the name Malignant Narcissist makes me cringe inside; ugh.
