    But god forbid any random forum user suggest The Idiot’s attempted coup might have consequences.

    Or even that they feel indifferent, when some dipshit on a rooftop whiffs three times in a row.

      I understand what you mean by “a French innovation,” but I’m OOTL on Minecraft. How does Minecraft get you on a watchlist?

        It’s a meme where someone issues a threat against someone else, then veils it against moderation & reporting by appending “in Minecraft.” e.g. a user responds to your post with “I’m gonna burn your house down”, which can be construed as a real-world douchebaggery. But if they say “I’m gonna burn your house down in Minecraft”, there’s plausible deniability because it’s infers online douchebaggery where real physical harm is unlikely.

        I think it started with people saying “I would like to (do something very illegal) to (some person) in Minecraft.” Thinking that saying “in Minecraft” would shield them from any repercussions because they only wanted to do it in a simulated environment. Eventually some people would just shorten it to things like “…in Minecraft” and leave the obvious part unsaid.

        Everyone always says “terrible thing” and then adds “in Minecraft” on the end to absolve themselves of all liability.

    I’m ready to keep funded the commissary account of anyone who assassinates Musk.
