Waldun seems the most adjusted, and is actually gay. This means any sort of gay sexual interaction would be backed by countless gay experiences on his part, as opposed to awkward and potentially violent attempts at sex like Ma, and probably Gardner, who gives off a charmless Ted Bundy vibe. Waldun also looks like more of a bottom, allowing me to disassociate from the experience. Being Asian, he is more than likely less hairy then me or even some white women, allowing me to indulge in the illusion that I am, in fact, fucking a woman. Nothing destroys heterosexual self-deception like the feel of stubble against your nutsack.

Waldun, like a true patrician.

[Anonymous No.21636683]

>>21634267
I'll expand on this - Waldun seems the easiest to converse with, quiet, docile, perhaps timid. Ma and Gardner strike me as the type to endlessly bloviate, Ma with constant jibes, trying to eek out any sense of superiority, whereas Gardner strikes me as the dullard who bores you in train stations, the person who circumambulate around a single point, the only point he knows. Waldun, however, is at least well read - perhaps the others are, but here is the crucial difference - Waldun might be a narcissist but is at least capable of self-criticism to a limited degree, and actively works to increase his knowledge than safeguard the precious little he knows. To me, this is ideal in a conversation partner - intelligent, opinionated but not boorish in self-advocacy, and willing to hear your thoughts, open to new ideas.
The date would go like this - an upscale restaurant - Waldun dresses well, so I won't have to worry about sticking out. Similarly, upper class places seem more willing to tolerate classy people stepping out of the norm, an obviously homosexual date wouldn't arouse any scorn, even if people find it distasteful, politeness will chide their tongues. A bottle of red wine, split between us, perhaps cocktails after. A light appetizer and main course, no dessert. I will naturally pay, both out of my rigid adherence to social norms, but also to establish me as the dominant one. Perhaps drinking more excessively at some other establishment to work up the courage to continue the second half of the date.
After the act, I would try hard to ghost him. I'm not sentimental, nor have I ever considered myself homosexual so there won't be any lingering emotions, save for a mild disgustful undercurrent present in my life, and a palpable disappointment on occasions.

[Anonymous No.21637519]

Waldun reminds me of the type of Asian you see shopping in a Calvin Klein store or queueing outside a Hermes. He's purchasing and displaying Western literature as an artifact (and an affected fashion), as consumer adornments. The Asian type whose identity is an aggregate of foreign luxury ornaments.

I couldn't agree more. I didn't really notice him except vaguely before but recently I had an interaction with him on here and he's easily one of the most outwardly vain people in this scene--which is saying a lot.
Just a disgusting lack of humility. A whore, really. Doesn't see a problem in the fact he's traded in his self respect for '100 reads', which in itself is likely an inflated number. I don't know what dogshit he wrote and never intend on finding out.

Completely deranged. He somehow thinks the lowly achievements in his sphere are worth bragging about. Perception of reality ruined by the internet. Seeing everything through meme concepts like 'making it', and interpreted so literally. Does he think if he sold 5,000 copies he would be any more respectable?

Card's YouTube channel didn't earn those 4k subs through his own videos. He purchased the channel. It gained a total of 1.25 million views over the course of 8 months. Just before Card started uploading his videos all of the videos on the channel were removed.
Card purchased a content farm channel that was posting Elsa+Spiderman/stolen Tiktok content and is pretending that he's successful.
Since purchasing the channel he has lost over 1k subs.
