    Why are we ragging on people who give us content and then bitch and moan about the lack of content on Lemmy?

    Violet is hilarious, doesn’t matter if they’re real or not.

    You guys are insane. Unusual people exist. Lemmy DMs are visible by instance admins. Ask them if they see any DMs that looks suspicious.

    And then maaybe stop defaming her? Like, this post should be ban worthy by any reasonable instance and community rules?

    Is it me or is it always the 50 years olds that say this shit? Like idk maybe you guys are particularily bad at guessing how gen Z behaves. I definitely know at least one woman IRL that would post like that. Two if I’m being generous. Not a majority but they fucking exist. And it turns out Lemmy isn’t exactly filled with the most normal normies.

      I definitely know at least one woman IRL that would post like that.

      Aight let’s do a quick lesson in Bayes Theorem, here in a shitpost community.

      Imagine there is a disease that exists in 1% of the population. Medical science develops a test with 90% accuracy (both in false positives and false negatives) on whether a person has the disease. Your doctor orders the test, and it comes up positive and saying that you have the disease. What is the probability that you actually have it?

      Well if you test an entire population of 1000, 10 of whom have the disease, it will correctly positively identify 9 out of 10 who have the disease, and incorrectly give false positive results to 99 out of the 990 who don’t have it. So among the 108 people who get positive results, you only about 8.3% chance of having the disease.

      My Bayesian priors for an anonymous prolific poster of thirstposts in a shitposting community on a heavily tech-centric social media platform is that they’re about 90% likely to be 30+ year old men. Claiming to be an 18 year old woman might move the needle a little bit, but not as much as you might think.

      This is a shitpost community, I’m pretty sure it is implied that everything posted here is satirical and/or ironic and/or made up for fun. You wouldn’t sue The Onion for defamation either (or maybe you would, IDK)

    I would just like to point out, regardless of Violet’s identity, this kind of post, or more the discussion around it stinks of Reddit content. This is the type of stuff that made Reddit suck.

    Sure she posts thirsty stuff, but that’s just a shitpost style. Upvote, downvote, or block and move on. If you suspect it’s bait don’t eat it.

      Yeah, who cares she’s providing content that’s not politics or rage. Even if she’s a middle aged man irl, who cares, what does it change other than making the person who are being thirsty at her a circlejerk?

    if violet is trying to entrap people, they’re really bad at it, since they’ve repeatedly stated that they don’t want dms and will never post any of their own pictures online ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    ig the idea is that California has 40m people, but none of them are both 18 and women? Idk why violet’s demographic is relevant at all, let alone important enough to think she’s lying about 😂

      It’s because of the fact that violet makes all of violet’s posts about violet. Naturally people are going to want to know more about violet, but then violet responds that anyone who wants to know about violet is deranged.

      They represent themselves as basically a typical woman as written by a male sci-fi author, and then they aggressive towards anyone who questions it. They make their content about themselves, but they act offended if anyone comments about them. It’s not the random commenters who are trying to make everything about the OP, they are just falling for the bait.

      Look at me, I am woman, I have BOOBS, I like big sex and getting pounded, I am woman, I am an OBJECT. Not all women have personality. I am real woman with woman private parts. This is my entire persona. You don’t beleive me? You are fuuuuucked up.

        Violet does sound like a roleplay of some kind. But it’s a very well thought-out identity. Quite consistent. I wonder if any part of it is true

          Looking at her posts on the new account, she’s clearly playing as a young and hot woman who is “based” and uses raunchy humor to appeal to the crowds here. All 3 of the posts have this same perspective so far.

          Granted I didn’t catch a lot of her original account’s postings, just saw it here and there, but she is clearly posting from her point of view.

              Ehh yes and no. A lot of users here are posting like news articles, comic strips, and the like that usually center around the news topic or political topic.

              Violet’s posts (so far) are strictly from the perspective of funny hot girl making commentary on the internet.

              This isn’t a critique, just an observation.

                Posting a news article is foundationally tied to which articles you’ve seen and which you find interesting.

                It’s really besides the point, though. Violet being horny is no more notable than me being very loudly anti AI.

                  I don’t care that she’s horny - as I said, I wasn’t critiquing her. Her posts have a very particular flavor, so to speak, and it does revolve around her personality first and foremost. You immediately know what type of person that user is trying to portray when you look at the user history.
