Okay, it is about 3 in the morning, and I'm up writing retarded fanfictions/my own retarded stories, when I suddenly go online and see, in succession, everything I absolutely hate about people on Pico.
1. I ABSOLUTELY ABHOR CHAT SPEAK AND PRACTICALLY ANYONE WHO USES IT.
Yeah, I'm aware of the fact that "English is just a language, and people can speak it however they want" But if people spoke anything however they wanted, then I don't think that calling whatever the hell you're saying English even matters. And is it so hard to write out the word "you" instead of "u"? Though I do use "LOL" and "brb" when I have nothing else to say. It's kind of generalized now.
2. THE USE OF RETARDED LOOKING SYMBOLS IN PEOPLE'S NAMES.
Let me clarify this, using myself as an example. DO YOU SEE THIS. "Ｈｏｐｅ". THAT IS CLEARLY AN H, A LOWERCASE O, A LOWERCASE P, AND A LOWERCASE E. Just in a different font.
What I'm complaining about, is this:
Point A: ǯ THIS IS NOT AN "E". IF ANYTHING, THAT LOOKS LIKE A THREE.
Point B: ¥ THIS IS NOT A "Y". IT IS A SYMBOL MEANING YEN, THE CURRENCY OF JAPAN.
AND WHY DO YOU HAVE TO USE IT FOR YOUR ENTIRE NAME? BECAUSE IT'S LIKE SOMEONE'S NAME IS ℍÔ¶e SO I CAN'T USE THAT, SO LET'S MAKE IT ℍÔ¶∑. Why not just like, ℍope ? And I swear to god, if I see anyone with that name after I write this post, I will shoot them. Just like how I shoot down any other Hopes I come across. They're all usually girls, so they're easier targets.
3. I HAVE AMEBA GOLD THEREFORE I AM OF A HIGHER LEVEL THAN YOU ALL.
No. No you are not. In fact, I kind of pity those people that go through all the trouble to buy Ameba Gold. Because One, not only are you wasting money that could be spent on better things, Two, that money is going to waste because you will undoubtedly stop playing Pico or the server will shut down, rendering it useless, Three, you're spending money on VIRTUAL clothes basically so that you can impress people. I. HATE. TRYING. TO. IMPRESS. PEOPLE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME FOR WHO I AM, THEN YOU'RE SHALLOW, IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH, AND I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU ANYWAY. Though that last sentence was pretty shallow in itself.
In all honestly, I've only bought Ameba Gold once, and it was only ten dollars worth, and probably the most useless ten dollars I've ever spent. Sure, I'm jealous of you and your fancy Alice Nine premium gacha wig, but that only lasts for what, 5 seconds? Until you get tired of it and essentially waste your own money while you're still playing the game.
4. UGLY PEOPLE.
The way I see it, there are three types of Pico appearances. There are:
1. The really cute/hot picos that try to maintain cute appearances for A) props, B) to get people to talk to them C) Being attention hogging whores.
2. The intentionally ugly Picos that somehow all seem to have those "condom" shaped mouths, super dark skin, and unpleasant hairstyles and faces.
3. EVERYONE ELSE.
I don't understand. This is a game where you can change your own appearance to make yourself more likeable. ..So how do ugly people, normally "noobs", even exist?
Then again, my perception of beauty has been horribly twisted and unreversible, so what I think is probably different from what you think.
A) Honestly, I hate all of the female mouths. They look awful if they're your skin color so it demands make-up, and if you smile, you look like a horse.
B) Those last few eyes, the really big ones with lashes, and the one without the lashes, ARE EXTREMELY UGLY ON MEN.
C) THE DAMN COLOR IS SILVER. IT'S NOT GREY. DON'T YOU HAVE EYES. EYES THAT CAN SEE ANYWAY.
4. JUST BECAUSE I'M TALKING TO MY FRIENDS DOESN'T MEAN THAT ANYONE ELSE CAN HEAR ME.
Yeah. We can hear you.
5. LET'S GO HARASS THIS ONE GIRL BECAUSE SHE'S A NOOB, THEREFORE SHE DESERVES IT.
I wish I knew you when you were a noob, I'd harass your ass and made sure you never came back.
6. THE ASSUMPTION THAT ANYONE WHO HAS A LIGHT SKIN TONE, BUT ISN'T WHITE, IS CHINESE.
7. THE NPCs IN THE HIGH SCHOOL ROOM CAN TALK TO YOU. THEY JUST WANT TO SAY THOSE SPECIFIC SENTENCES AND IF I CALL THEM STUPID, THEY'LL STOP.
8. IF YOU WANT TO BE COOL, HANG OUT AT THE BACK OF THE HIGH SCHOOL ROOM. PEOPLE WILL LIKE YOU BETTER.
9. PROPS=BETTER LIFE. ASK FOR THEM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU ARE COOL.
10. IF I DO "Backflip" OR ANY OF THE KARATE MOVES, IT HURTS YOU IN REAL LIFE.
11. PICO IS A DATING WEBSITE.
There is a specific section in the Terms of Service that specifically states that you will not use Ameba Pico as any sort of a dating website. And while I'm on that subject, let me list a few of those Online Conduct rules that really should be enforced or look like they were written by Hitler or something.
5. ONLINE CONDUCT.
You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of the Service and for all of your Member Content and online activity in connection with the Service, and that you will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its licensors, affiliates, employees, officers, and directors from all claims for liabilities, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, from third parties arising from such use, Member Content and activity. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing the disclosure and use of third party property, including, without limitation, any and all intellectual property rights. Moreover, you agree not to engage in any of the following:
(a) Post, transmit, promote, or distribute illegal content.
(b) Harass, threaten, abuse, disparage, libel, slander, embarrass, or engage in any other disruptive behavior involving another member or Company or affiliate’s employee or agent.
(c) Transmit or facilitate distribution of Content that is harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, vulgar, sexually explicit, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, or in a reasonable person’s view, objectionable.
(e) Alter, delete or cancel another member’s Account, any member profile information or Member Content.
(f) Disrupt the flow of chat in chat rooms with vulgar language, abusiveness, hitting the return key repeatedly or inputting large images so the screen goes by too fast to read, use of excessive shouting [all caps] in an attempt to disturb other members, “spamming” or flooding [posting repetitive text].
(g) Impersonate another person, indicate that you are a Company or affiliate employee or agent, or attempt to mislead members by indicating that you represent Company or any of Company’s licensors or affiliates.
(YOU SEE? WE CAN REPORT PEOPLE FOR THIS.)
Unfortunately, I'm one of the only people that actually listens and follows rules on online games.
And that is a rough list of things that irritate me in Pico. It's not even close to everything.
Don't do those things. I will hate you.
[Re-edit] There were two fours. Huh.
