Discussion ITT: We reflect on the year 2019, and how good/bad it was.

[FrothySolutions]

I'm always thinking about the past. When things got bad, and when they used to be good.

https://incels.is/threads/when-was-the-last-time-the-internet-wasnt-cucked.216542/

But I'd like to go a little more in depth. I'd like to go over how good/bad past years were. Instead of saying "2015 was bad," weigh the pros and cons and everything you remember about it, regarding the relevant stuff. The Internet, games you play, shows you watch, general fandom, things to love and hate. And instead saying "2015 wasn't as good as such-and-such year." I'll go back over all the years until people here stop being able to remember that far back. Like the "I Love" series, but backwards.

Starting with 2019. Anyone remember 2019?

 

[FrothySolutions]

I was a neet in 2019

How was the Internet in 2019? Any YouTube channels you enjoyed?

 

[Transcended Trucel]

bad year. I got fucked by bad health. now most of em gone

 

[FrothySolutions]

bad year. I got fucked by bad health. now most of em gone

Most of what?

 

[Deleted member 23981]

i do not remeber

 

[AmIjustDreaming]

all these years have just blended together.

 

[Transcended Trucel]

Most of what?

I had vitamin D deficency, allergies, headaches and other problems. most of them gone after certain supplements and treatments

 

[FrothySolutions]

Oh boy this would take a while.
Turbulent year for me. First full year in another country characterized by new experiences and fighting with my brother whom I live with.
My vidya pretty much died this year. Didn't do much but survive. Did play some Paper Mario and Pokemon Silver though.
Internet, ah... I really enjoyed historia civilis for like the second year in a row and started listening to TLDR news I guess, continued watching channels like Sam O. Nella and Internet Historian
That enough?

Don't worry about enough, there's no deadline. Just come and fill in details when they come to you.

 

[FrothySolutions]

Idk what else to put, hard to decide what's relevant plus I'm a motivation-less son of a bitch
Plus the last two years blend lot

We'll be going over other years later.

 

[TINMAN]

The entire went by before I noticed, I made no new memories, just LDAR like the rest of the last 11 years of my life

I graduated college and it felt like any other day of the week, nothing has changed. Now I'm job hunting so that I can start wagecucking until I die of old age.

 

[RedIce]

Not the worst year, but It was still an awful year nonetheless. I was forced to go to therapy by my parents because they said it will "help" with my social anxiety and decision making, and surprise, surprise, it didn't help.
I worked a lot of overtime shifts during that year because we were understaffed, as a result, I barely had time for myself.
And I ended up dropping out of classes (again).

In terms of games, I remember playing Battlefield 1, Greedfall, Plague Tale, and Divinity Original Sin 2.

I don't think I celebrated my birthday that year.

 

[Deleted member 27159]

Not much different tbh.

 

[crestfallencel]

can't remember anything interesting that happened in 2019 tbh

 

[Unhappy-Man]

I thin it was 2019 when i first escortceloed.
That was after goingcanother year (2018) as a kissless virgin and spending new years alone.

 

[Deleted member 18193]

I did the same old stuff. I started off on braincels in early 2019 then migrated here.

 

[BRUTO]

thanks to the protests in my country we stopped having classes and they closed the year with fewer grades, a fucked up bouquet the teacher averaged it out and gave me a grade to exempt me from the exam so I could pass it. it was a good year, tbh

 

[Animecel2D]

all these years have just blended together.

This tbh. Nothing to differentiate the years from each other.

 

[Over_this_Life]

In 2019 my mom died, my cat got cancer and it cost me 3000 dollars for his surgery, and i realized my oneitis is a raging slut and cut her off. So that was the year i really took the blackpill

 

[ordinaryotaku]

Everything started to suck after the new millennium. Every year past 2001 is just as shitty as the next. I would say that things have accelerated for the worse since 2010, though.

 

[Hate_my_life]

I spent all of that year listening to my room-mates having sex. I was a social outcast. I had been rejected. Within a few months I was dubbed: "Weirdo who'd shoot up a Uni".

 

[FrothySolutions]

It's been a while, but I've been thinking about the year 2019. I've been taking my time trying to remember it. Because stuff did happen with me in 2019, but what I wanted to do with this thread was reflect on the hallmarks of 2019 itself. Beyond just me. Like that "I Love the 80s" show. What content did I have to enjoy in 2019? What headaches did I have to enjoy in 2019? For instance, 2020 is bad because we have to deal with, I dunno, riot apologists. That's not a thing I dealt with alone, it was a part of the 2020 zeitgeist. So what was 2019 like, based on the things we had to deal with/things we had to enjoy back then? That's what I'm trying to do.

First thing I should do to mark the year is identify what my "Internet hangout" of the time was. Why start with something so specific to me, if it's so important to discuss things relevant to 2019 as a whole? I would say naming Internet hangouts/tracing your "Internet genealogy" is an important part of identifying the signs of that particular year.

https://incels.is/threads/can-you-trace-your-internet-genealogy.156026/

In the same way that saying "It was 1998 and I was on ICQ." The takeaway here is that ICQ is a reflection of 1998.

In 2019 my main hangout was obviously Incels.co and its family of forums. What did we do back in 2019 on the Incels.co family of forums? I kept a journal of the year over on Looksmax. It was mostly stuff done in addressing inceldom.

Speaking of which, in 2019 Doomer Wojak memes were a big fad on YouTube and stuff. I think it was 2019 that I saw that "incel-adjacent" content wasn't as fringe as I thought. There were popular videos, filled with comments from men dissatisfied with their lives and the world they lived in. Also, greentext thread videos were popular, which also touched on the concerns of incellish men. Kevin Spacey was in the news because the prior Christmas he, in the midst of a sex scandal, started releasing content on YouTube. That was interesting. Cursed Commercials were a thing in 2019, uhhhh... cursed pictures with Earthbound & Mother 3 music was a popular meme... a meme a guy named Lumpy Touch took advantage of. Lumpy Touch I think was a rising content creator of 2019. Mr. X memes were also a big thing because the Resident Evil 2 remake had been released recently, and people were making all kinds of Mr. X videos. "Breaks Into Your House" ASMR was a thing for a while in 2019, mostly a carryover from late 2018. 2019 was a major year for capeshit movies, that was the year we got Avengers Endgame. This is the part of my life when movies were a major cope for me.

Also, 2019 was the year IncelProject got started, I think? So years from now, when I look back on 2019, what am I likely to remember it for? Probably IncelProject, and my time in the incel community.

 

[Over_this_Life]

2019 was fucking awful. My cat got cancer, my mom died, and i dropped out of community college

Have you been seeing the rest of your family a lot more? I find that death in the family, bittersweetly, brings the family together.

My sister moved out. I got more acquainted with my extended family, but we dont have much in common because they are so old. My youngest cousin is like 50. Plus they all live far away in another county

Why'd your sister move out?

 

[Over_this_Life]

Why'd your sister move out?

She wanted to live with her friend and his family out of state. She originally moved in with them back in 2018 but she went back and forth for a while. I visited my sister for a week last year and im probably gonna move in with them. The family she’s staying with is nice and it’s a great opportunity for me to get back to school. I cant go to school with my current living situation

Wait, I don't understand. I thought her moving out meant you had an opportunity to go back to school?

 

[mNFwTJ3wz9]

It sucked just like every other year. Grades getting worse, Isolation, getting verbally raped by parents. On the other hand I joined this forum, so it was nice.

 

[The Zulfigar]

Recent years all are kinda merging with each other. Thugmaxxing at uni, less social interactions. The only good things were good grades and passed exams. Also I was bluepilled and delusionmaxxed so was happier. Also my 2019 self mogs me at doing sports and watching David goggins videos on yt

 

[Over_this_Life]

Wait, I don't understand. I thought her moving out meant you had an opportunity to go back to school?

When my mom was still around, she took care of the bills so i could focus on school. After she died i had to cover all of the bills which is really hard to do when you make under 10k a year. So i had to take more hours at work to make up the difference which meant i no longer had time to go to school. If i went to school, that costs money plus id have less time to work, which means some bills wouldn’t be paid and id struggle to cover tuition and would possibly be evicted.
My sister moving out didn’t really impact me going to school. However, if i move in with her, i wont have to pay a bunch of bills anymore, because the family she is staying with would cover that, so i could once again focus on school. That is my opportunity to go back to school

 

[FrothySolutions]

2019 was the year that Area 51 raid meme happened. I don't think 2019 was very good.

Oh, moving in with your sister is the opportunity?

Yeah. Sorry if that wasnt clear. They offered me a room down there and wont charge rent from me which means i can get a new job and then focus on school instead of doing a balancing act between work and school in my home state

 

[FrothySolutions]

I didn't know you wanted me to tag you in this thread.

I would go for it.

 

[Indari]

got Baker Acted for being incel, worked a second shit ass job before getting fired, then went to Kenya to get abused by my dad and suicidal again

 

[Mainländer]

2019 was an above average year for me.

 

[Dumbasszoomer]

Meh

 

[based_meme]

JFL @ everybody who voted no. How the fuck do you not remember one year ago?

For me it was more of the same slow upward trend. Nothing particularly noteworthy. No new discoveries or eureka moments.

 

[FrothySolutions]

2019 saw the end of a lot of media franchises that defined the decade, if you're into media franchises. Arguably the biggest TV news of 2019 was Game of Thrones. Aside from Breaking Bad and maybe The Walking Dead, it was arguably the biggest thing in TV for the 2010s decade. I didn't watch it. Game of Thrones bothers me.

And for the final season, I wasn't alone in being bothered by Game of Thrones. Often compared and contrasted with Lord of the Rings, especially when it came to grand scale fantasy battles, Season 8 came with impossible promise. "The Battle of Winterfell will be bigger than Helm's Deep! Dragons! Giants! Ice people! You're gonna shit yourself!" But each episode only bested the other in how badly it could misfire. And Lord of the Rings remains king of epic fantasy. Game of Thrones, today, has sunk into such irrelevance that not even the memes are funny anymore.

Fortunately, HBO came to the rescue with Chernobyl later that year, saving itself a loss in subscribers.

Why's that? Inceldom stuff?

Speaking of incel stuff, 2019 didn't just see endings, but beginnings. Bagelcel Begins in 2019.

https://incels.is/threads/manlet-has-enough.130926/

Proof that the world has sanity in it, there was outrage on behalf of this manlet, Chris "Bagel Boss" Morgan, who was attacked by heightists at a Long Island Bagel Boss. He made waves in the manosphere, and from statusmaxxing has successfully had sex at least once.

Basically, couldn’t cope with being lonely 24/7

bagelcel is pretty based, he is my hero

Wasn't Bagelcel married and divorced before that incident?

 

[FrothySolutions]

I think that's true, but I'm not sure. Much of his story is legend.

@TheNEET, Friendship is Magic also ended in 2019. But was the brony hype still going on in 2019, or were ponies no longer popular?

 

[FrothySolutions]

2019 was also the year of "Clown World." 2019 wasn't the first year anyone ever said the words "clown world" in conjunction, but this was the year Honkler became a /pol/ mascot.

I used to think this was because of the Joker movie. Also big news in 2019. But this was a few months before we knew that Arthur Fleck was gonna be Incel Jesus. Honkler was about "taking back the rainbow." Unless I'm just falling for the meme? Nevertheless, 2019 brought us Honkler, and with him "Clownworld Compilations." Compilations of degeneracy and depravity in society.

Came right on time for when Notre Dame burned down. Honkler wouldn't have touched this just for it being a great loss to history. No, there was a conspiracy that the church was burned down by immigrants/refugees. But normie society is so woke that they can't bring themselves to admit that their wokeness cost them a nigh-irreplaceable landmark. And so, Notre Dame Honkler videos came about. As if to say "You know who did this, but society won't admit it because they're afraid of being racist. Isn't that funny?"

 

[Deleted member 29230]

2019 was trash but better yet my whole life is trash as well

for me it was Wageslaving: the year

Just another shit year filled with garbage.

I don't play Fortnite, but even if you didn't play Fortnite in 2019 you probably heard some news coming out of Fortnite in 2019. Something about the world of Fortnite being sucked into a black hole? And there was a lot of hype/buzz/intrigue about this being the end of Fortnite?

If you don't know anything about Fortnite like I didn't know anything about Fortnite, this sounds like a pretty plausible thing that would happen. And even if you did know anything about Fortnite, apparently to behold the world undone by the black hole was enough to make you believe "Okay so this really is the end of Fortnite." But looking back at the events as they unfolded maybe dampens the hype a little.

First, Fortnite as an online game experiences these... storyline events, in live time, that affect the world. Like at one point on Fortnite experienced a meteor shower that changed the map. And you also might've heard about this mysterious purple cube that showed up the year prior.

And in this "season" of Fortnite, a guy named "The Visitor" would fuck with the map every so often. And they were also building a mysterious rocket somewhere on the map. And like with the purple cube, there was speculation about what it all meant. Fun stuff if you like Fortnite.

But it's about as fun as wondering if the Avengers will stay dead after The Snap. Because Epic Games announced ahead of time that Sunday, October 13th, 2019, at 2:00 PM EST, would be the Season 10 finale of Fortnite. Which is like saying "There's gonna be more movies after Infinity War you didn't really think this was the end of the Avengers, did you? This is only the finale of one part." Takes the stakes away. Whatever happens on October 13th, we know it's just a season finale. There's been season finales before, it just means we have to wait a while, and then the next season will start.

So, big ingame events aren't new, and Epic has even come out saying that this is just the season finale. But somehow the events still stoked intrigue.



Why? Well, this was a little different from prior season finales. And it's the 10th season. Like in TV, after 10 seasons it's usually time to look into either hanging it up for good, or doing some kind of drastic overhaul. The whole map was destroyed, and Epic Games was talking about how this was "the end." Surely if this was just a bog standard season finale, the Season 11 assets would be up sooner? And there's still the matter of the Fortnite "storyline." In-universe, all this has to mean some kind of something. Maybe Fortnite isn't going away forever. But Fortnite as we know it must be going somewhere.

And it did. As someone who doesn't play Fortnite, I don't know exactly how it changed, but according to a lot of buzz I hear, even other Fortnite fans don't like it.

 

[FrothySolutions]

Know what else 2019 was? The rise of OnlyFans. And I'm pretty sure the Thot Audit had something to do with it.

The Audit had it's start in late 2018. Late November. I think exactly on November 25th.

https://incels.is/threads/roosh-v-will-make-a-live-on-the-thot-audit.91133/

And everyone was so excited. But I was like "Someone is gonna come along and legitimize Internet thottery and be wealthier for it." And something did. OnlyFans technically existed for years prior, but it existed on equal footing alongside other platforms like ManyVids and Fancentro. And in 2019, I'm certain because of the Audit, it became the YouTube of camwhoring, to ManyVids' and Fancentro's Vimeo & Dailymotion.

I remember it being 2019 that it happened, because I remember in part of 2019, e-girls like Belle Delphine still relied on Patreon and the like. 2019 was the year of the Belle Delphine "Gamer Girl Pee" hoax. OnlyFans wasn't as pervasive as it was back then. When you thought e-girls, you didn't think "OnlyFans" yet. The proof being here, on Incels.co, the hottest spot for discussion of e-girls and the incels who hate them.

https://incels.is/threads/thotpatro...he-was-pissed-off-with-it-is-revealed.133954/

July 2019. @PM_ME_STRIPPERS has to explain to people that OnlyFans is a cucked site. Because OnlyFans wasn't yet pervasive like it is today. But as the year waned it became bigger and bigger. If you search "OnlyFans" there are about 25 pages for it. Only 1-2 pages took place before 2020. 2019 was the flashpoint. I told you all!!!
