Blog / How **** & Strength Cues Influence Impressions of Female Video Game Characters
« Last post by kat on December 23, 2024, 11:09:19 AM »
From October 2024 but doing the rounds on social "Examining How **** Appeal Cues and Strength Cues Influence Impressions of Female Video Game Characters", a self-(insert)referential 'research' paper that starts from the (feminist/gender/race critical) asserted and unfalsifiable premise that "objectification" is bad, and conducted, as is nearly always the case, on university students that are far more likely to be 'sensitive' to that narrative/framing than the typical 'non-higher-educated' gamer (bias control filter?).

Reading through "New research on female video game characters uncovers a surprising twist" we find, as is always the case with critical studies, or grievance studies as they actually are, this isn't "research", it is instead carefully constructed unfalsifiable political activism pulling an obfuscatory cloak of $cience around itself.

Now the well has been thoroughly poisoned...

The study essentially asserts that female and minority gamers hate ("****" in particular) "objectification" but will play an (sexually) objectified character if they perceived them to be powerful rather than not playing games with such portrayals like normal, well adjusted adults do; it's as if modern minority or female gamers have no discernment, none, and have outwardly facing boundary issues - rather than leaving something alone they will instead insist that that something conform to their expectations that, unironically, is itself a form of 'objectification', an abuse, the coercive control of others, they cannot see because they lack (don't care/could care less) the empathy of/towards others to notice.

In other words, the study ironically confirms that 'culturally sensitive' female and minority gamers (at least the studies student participants) continue to suffer the perineal "first-person/main-character syndrome"; the, to many, inexplicable inability to detach themselves from a games main character such that they can play as the protagonist instead of wanting to see themselves as that main character.

In other, other, words, the demonstrable upshot of this type of research only further cements, if inadvertently or unintentionally (some might argue 'subconsciously', the double-down irony of 'subconscious bias'), that such individuals are severely lacking in "empathy", the striking inability to see a/the world through someone else's eyes; the world, even fictional ones, must instead render itself through theirs.

Is it any wonder so many people like this exhibit abhorrent, aggressive and abusive behaviours when told "no".

Hi, today there are sadly some bad news for you.

Your device was infected with my private malware, your browser wasn't updated / patched, in such case it's enough to just visit some website where my iframe is placed to get automatically infected, if you want to find out more, Google: Drive-by exploit.

My malware gave me full access to all your accounts, full control over your device and it also was possible to spy on you over your cam.

If you think this is some bad joke, no, I know your password: [scraped password]

I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your cam) SATISFYING YOURSELF!

After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server.

I can publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, the darknet, social networks, over email and send everything to all your contacts.

You can stop me and only I can help you out in this situation.

The only way to stop me, is to pay exactly $1800 in Bitcoin (BTC).

It's a very good offer, compared to all that horrible **** that will happen if I publish everything.

You can easily buy Bitcoin (BTC) here:

https[:]//cex.io/buy-bitcoins https[:]//nexo[.]com/buy-crypto/bitcoin-btc https[:]//bitpay[.]com/buy-bitcoin/?crypto=BTC https[:]//paybis[.]com/ https[:]//invity[.]io/buy-crypto

You can send the Bitcoin (BTC) directly to my wallet, or install the free software: Atomicwallet, or: Exodus wallet, then receive and send to mine.

My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet is: [bitcoin address]

Yes, that's how the wallet / address looks like, copy and paste it, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE).

I give you 3 days time to pay.

As I got access to this email account, I will know if this email has already been read.

After receiving the payment, I will remove everything and you can life your live in peace like before, don't worry, I keep my promise!

Next time make sure that your device has the newsest security updates.

FAQ on games, gaming & IT / Save WhatsApp/WhatsApp Business Voice or Audio Messages
« Last post by kat on December 07, 2024, 10:46:20 AM »
Problem
Unlike images, gifs, movies and other media, WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business does not provide a way to directly save voice or audio recorded using the applications 'voice message' feature because voice notes cannot be focus selected, i.e. tapping other media grants access to the 'more options' menu (...) where 'Save' is available, for audio, nothing.

Solution
To work around this limitation, and to save voice or audio notes in WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, for the audio file to be saved, long-tap (tap-hold) until the "Share" options appear. Here the usual destinations are available; Facebook, Mail, SMS and so on. In addition to these standard apps, Files (or for Apple devices the equivalent 'Finder') should also be shown. Simply tap the Files icon to automatically save to the audio to the Downloads folder/location.

Audio Playback
For playback of audio files outside WhatsApp & WhatsApp Business, find the saved audio in Downloads as *.opp formatted data (the Files app should play these natively).

Hello, my perverted friend,

We've actually known each other for a while, at least I know you.
You can call me Big Brother or the All-Seeing Eye.
I'm a hacker who a few months ago gained access to your device, including your browser history and webcam.
I recorded some videos of you **** to highly controversial "adult" videos.
I doubt you'd want your family, coworkers, and your entire [scraped email address] - (your password for this mail on moment of hack : [scraped password]) contact list to see footage of you ****, especially considering how **** your favorite "genre".
I will also publish these videos on **** sites, they will go viral and it will be physically impossible to remove them from the Internet.

How did I do this?
Because of your disregard for internet security, I easily managed to install a Trojan on your hard disk.
Thanks to this, I was able to access all the data on your device and control it remotely.
By infecting one device, I was able to gain access to all the other devices.

My spyware is embedded in the drivers and updates its signature every few hours, so no antivirus or firewall can ever detect it.
Now I want to offer a deal: a small amount of money in exchange for your former worry free life.

Transfer $1250 USD to my bitcoin wallet: [bitcoin address]

As soon as I receive confirmation of the payment, I will delete all the videos that compromise you, remove the virus from all your devices and you will never hear from me again.
It's a very small price for not destroying your reputation in the eyes of others, who think that you are a decent man, according to your messengers.
You can think of me as some sort of life coach who wants you to start appreciating what you have.

You have 48 hours. I will receive a notification as soon as you open this email, and from this moment, the countdown will begin.
If you've never dealt with cryptocurrency before, it's very easy. Simply type "cryptocurrency exchange" into a search engine, and then all set.

Here's what you shouldn't do:
- Don't reply to my email. It was sent from a temporary email account.
- Don't call the police.
 Remember, I have access to all your devices, and as soon as I notice such activity, it will automatically lead to the publishing of all the videos.
- Don't try to reinstall your system or reset your device. First of all, I already have the videos,  and secondly, as I said, I have remote access to all your devices, and once I notice such an attempt, you know what happens.
 
Remember, crypto addresses are anonymous, so you won't be able to track down my wallet.

So long story short, let's resolve this situation with a benefit for me and you.
I always keep my word unless someone tries to trick me.

Lastly, a little advice for the future. Start taking your online security more seriously.
Change your passwords regularly and set up multi-factor authentication on all your accounts.

Best wishes.
