  • dont put money into that “announcement”. they “exposed” her to be an old cracker who was in the scene many, many years ago. that person is to this day fighting a court case about their time in the scene. they’ve also written a post somewhere on the net talking about this and how hurt and confused they are to be dragged back into this mess. and the group that did the “exposing” has, as far as i have seen, not provided a single piece of evidence for their claims.

    innocent until proven guilty. no one knows who empress is, so you may as well believe she is the woman she says to be.


  • this just goes to show that arguing with people on the internet is a waste of time. youre clearly twisting my words into things i have never said, but which you really really want me to have said.

    in any case, to illustrate my point once and for all:

    Narcissism can be considered both a personality trait and a personality disorder. The trait of narcissism exists on a spectrum, and it is not uncommon for individuals to exhibit some narcissistic characteristics without meeting the criteria for a full-blown personality disorder.
    
    Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a clinical diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). It involves a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, beginning in early adulthood and present in various contexts. Individuals with NPD often have difficulties maintaining relationships and may exhibit arrogant, entitled behavior.
    
    On the other hand, narcissistic traits can be present in individuals without meeting the criteria for NPD. Some degree of self-centeredness, a desire for validation, and a focus on one's own needs and desires are common aspects of human behavior. It's important to note that having some narcissistic traits doesn't necessarily indicate a personality disorder. Personality traits, including narcissistic traits, exist on a continuum, and it's the severity and impact on one's life that determine whether it rises to the level of a disorder.
    

    Calling someone narcisistic does not automatically equate to a slur or even an insult. Narcisistic traits can be examined from outside and afar, and you do not need to be a therapist to see these behavioural patterns. Looping back to the original comment that started all this - Empress shows narcisistic patterns everywhere in her communication. Calling her narcisistic because she acts narcisistic is an observation, not an insult, not a slur. Just like I can call someone blonde because I have seen their blonde hair. It matters not that narcisism can occur inside of a personality disorder. If I call someone “retarded” because they have NPD, that’s another story. This is not the case here.

    Since I already know you could keep arguing back and forth with everyone involved in this steaming mess of a comment tree, I’ll be the bigger person and call it quits. Save yourself the response, we’re too far down the tree for anyone to read it anyways. Any words written are a waste of time. If you need more attention, fight with people further up. I am not worth your time.
