Dance of the Title Fairy: A Froggy Fandango

[Psyche]

the period in my title should probably go though i think
or should it
ive been warring w the idea for years now

[Psyche]

i dont like the ducks title i think it could equally well apply to a large number of people

[Psyche]

i mean, of

course

"caring a lot" is not specific to the worst in any meaningful sense
it hardly needs to be said that there are loads of people on the site to whom the theme would apply to just as well or better

the duck thing seems to be the only thing making it distinctive / giving it value as a title, so i'm talking about that
and i don't think it does a very good job of being distinctive
you mention that lalaladucks is different because her username has ducks in it, but i don't think it's that different;
the key thing is that when i think of ducks and mafiascum at the same time, the worst simply isn't the first user to come to mind

[Psyche]

dude's pretty prominent in a lot of other spaces i frequent

[Psyche]

it's like generic brand snark attack

[Psyche]

why does vonflare have the title "testing", is this one of psyche's wacky hijinks

uh i don't remember doing that but fix it if i did

[Psyche]

idk but it's better than his old title

doot has max irony stat

[Psyche]

i think the waukesha joke works better as a location

[Psyche]

bro's title is out of date by the way

[Psyche]

i think it's better

[Psyche]

Feels too cutesy

that's the worst's brand, though, isn't it?

[Psyche]

wanna make clear that i still think the title is bad, just not as bad as the previous serious iteration

[Psyche]

it’s still just bargain bin snark attack, and no one seems to substantively disagree with that
confirming the title would amount to a deliberate embrace of mediocrity in titles imo

[Psyche]

yeah but usually it's because some plurality is convinced it's not mediocre rather than everyone just being ok with mediocrity

[Psyche]

it's mediocre, we all agree it's mediocre, and we're going with it anyway

[Psyche]

everytime i say it’s bargain bin snark attack the response has never been disagreement but rather more or less “well i have bargain bin standards”

do you disagree that it’s bargain bin snark attack??

[Psyche]

not being responsible for the final result is very freeing

[Psyche]

you've got literally unlimited other threads for shitposting!

[Psyche]

if ur gonna explore the idea, try to look for indirect ways to say it

[Psyche]

can we avoid using indeterminate/inspecific words like “something” when explaining our title noms

[Psyche]

you guys invest so little effort into your noms and then get so snarky when someone outside the nomming clique says they don't really see the appeal

[Psyche]

i like the laser tag inspiration and am glad to learn these neat new things about chickadee
eventually something else will come up that meshes well with it and creates the opportunity for something multidimensional

also it feels kinda nice not being title fairy today

[Psyche]

i can see both sides i'm such a centrist sage

[Psyche]

i can see both sides i'm such a centrist sage

What's your bipartisan compromise proposal?

kill the discussion, wait for someone not me comes back to it in about a month in a half with a new art/lasertag nom that's still not perfect but also too good to merely say no to, all while the laser tag meme is gradually and, yes, nastily and kinda astro-turfily absorbed into the culture of the site and becomes a more worthy reference point for a title

don't tell me it hasn't happened before!

[Psyche]

ASTROTURF

[Psyche]

didnt chickadee say no

[Psyche]

the funny thing is that the material for this has been around for months if not more than a year

[Psyche]

wow elbirn!

[Psyche]

tl;dr

[Psyche]

i told u guys that ducks weren’t special!

[Psyche]

cmon

[Psyche]

its ok drk i was also the Worst Title Fairy Ever

[Psyche]

id revoke all of them if i could
all of them except comical third option

[Psyche]

exCUSE me??

[Psyche]

Giving people titles for the sake of giving them titles is a bad idea.

talking about titles for the sake of talking about titles, though! I miss that!
