Empress is considered the best Denuvo cracker in the world. Mostly because she’s the only one that is consistently successful.
There are two major trains of thought regarding her. The first: she’s a batshit crazy narcissist who is more toxic than a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner where Kanye and Pete Davidson show up unannounced. The second: she’s the goddess and the most wonderful woman on the planet and one day she’ll recognize my loyalty and I will have a place in her New World Order.
She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don’t believe Empress does either.
Right, 100%! They’re just trying to see if you’re going to be able to sustain yourself and their relationship. No harm there, I’m sure; actually seems like a sign of serious intentions.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the “persona” of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.
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.
That’s just like your opinion. Also 100% your prerogative too, since you’re the first and only one to bring up gender in this discussion, as if it matters somehow.
Narcissist is a slur when it’s used in a derogatory sense by someone who does not have the disability. You can say “person with NPD”, or pwNPD for short, or you can avoid insulting someone by alleging mental disability in the first place.
Eh, it depends on the intention behind the word. Narcissistic personality disorder is, by definition, a disability (as are all mental disorders). In practice, it isn’t treated as such because they’re just assholes. Therapy is the only treatment, and the likelihood of a narcissist actually seeking treatment is basically 0.
Most people throw the term around loosely, much like “psychopath.” I’m mainly being pedantic and do agree that it is often the best word to use to describe people who exhibit narcissistic symptoms. Selfish and egotistical can be an understatement for even neurotypical people.
I’m just really interested in psychology and have a compulsion to talk about it to internet strangers who never asked and probably don’t care.
I sought treatment, and most of the pwNPD I know have sought treatment. The primary barriers to actually getting treatment are cost, and lack of trained psychologists. Insurance doesn’t cover personality disorders and therapists don’t know how to help us, other than giving generalised PTSD and cPTSD treatment such as schema therapy.
I don’t try to make people fight. I want them all to agree with me and not be bigots. Do you think I like being harassed? No, of course not. Your worldview where people like being yelled at is very strange.
Narcissist is a real psychological term. It describes a pathology. Slurs aren’t words you don’t like to be called. You don’t get to make up what is and what isn’t a slur.
Narcissism is generally seen as a negative trait so there already isn’t a non-derogatory way of calling someone a narcissist. Also, there is an acknowledged difference between being a narcissist and having NPD so as much as many here would probably say Empress has some kind of disorder, I bet very few have the credentials to diagnose which means it’s the former, and if we’re being completely honest, it’s a very practical word to describe a person’s behaviour. So I guess it has to be a “chill out, snowflake” moment for you.
All disabilities are seen as negative, but it’s not derogatory to call someone autistic, paraplegic, or blind, unless it’s a deliberate insult. I find your argument unconvincing.
I don’t really care if you find what I say convincing but to make this as simple as possible, name one time it’s considered good to be identified as narcissistic. And please let’s stay relevant and leave out physical disabilities. Only assholes insult the two you named.
pwNPD are, on average, better at magick than neurotypicals. I also generally respect most pwNPD for the trauma they’ve endured and survived. It’s a disability that leads to a lot of suicidality, so being a living pwNPD is an accomplishment.
Another place where this view falls short is that a person doesn’t need to have NPD to act like a narcissist on a regular basis, the same way a person can be volatile and not meet the criteria for BPD.
No, that’s not true. It’s not true because that’s not how we use disability language. Neurotypicals do not act autistic, and they don’t act ret**ded. Some people do use words that way, because those words are slurs. Likewise, when you insult someone by likening their behaviour to disability by calling them a narcissist, that’s a slur.
It’s not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn’t one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It’s a fact.
A pejorative word or phrase, slur, or derogatory term is a word or grammatical form expressing a negative or a disrespectful connotation, a low opinion, or a lack of respect toward someone or something.[1] It is also used to express criticism, hostility, or disregard.
a remark that criticizes someone and is likely to have a harmful effect on their reputation:
an offensive word used to insult someone because of their race, sexuality (= the fact of being sexually attracted to people of a particular gender), etc.:

You forgot to mention the part where she is violently transphobic
Wait, violently?

I see, hate speech.
Oh, I never read nfo files, so I never knew. ^^;
She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don’t believe Empress does either.
She’s also definitely Russian, and we, Russians, believe that it’s a guy.
There’s no women on the Internet.
Wait…so there really aren’t hot MILFs in my area waiting to chat with me?
You should check for sure and let us all now. For the boys.
They are a curious lot. They all seem interested in my debit card information. That must they’re into me, right?
Right, 100%! They’re just trying to see if you’re going to be able to sustain yourself and their relationship. No harm there, I’m sure; actually seems like a sign of serious intentions.
If she was a Russian guy she would have died in Ukraine.
What was it the rules of the internet again?
TITS or GTFO.
There’s also Girl = Guy In Real Life.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the “persona” of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.
Could also be one person with multiple personalities. It would explain a lot.
The more accurate and considerate term for that is multiple people in one body.

No, I don’t have DID. My swarm has multiple bodies that exist in consensus reality.
Lmao no it’s definitely one person in one body.
she’s providing games for free, who cares if she’s a narcissist.
You skipped past the batshit crazy part, eh? I would not trust any software she has touched, but you do you.
I’m still waiting for her rap album though, ngl it might slap.
What makes you think it’s a she
She’s told us lmao
Oh then because some stranger on the Internet tells you something, it’s probably true
wasn’t there some drama where some other cracker group exposed “her” as being some bulgarian dude?
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.
Alright? She prefers she/her
They’ve aggressively stated they’re a cis woman and has found the implication of her being trans incredibly insulting.
It could be a very confused fat dude wearing only fudge striped tighty whities who doesn’t want his fantasy world bubble popped
I’m pretty sure it’s a group of people but I’ll still go with She cuz it’s easier and my theory is just a… theorumeum
Theory requires a working model. What you got can’t even be considered a hypothesis.
IT A THOUGHT I DUN BEEN GOT WUT MORE DO U WANT
I didn’t know it was that simple. I’m a she, now worship me.
Is this the first time.you hear of preferred pronouns?
Preferred pronouns are not gender.
That’s just like your opinion. Also 100% your prerogative too, since you’re the first and only one to bring up gender in this discussion, as if it matters somehow.
wat
What word in that comment caused confusion?
Yes, gender identity is that simple. Watch this:
I’m a drone, use it/its pronouns for me
You don’t need to use slurs to make your point.
Genuine question here, which words are slurs? Crazy narcissist?
I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.
As in, Empress doesn’t need to be using slurs to make her points.

Using pathologies as insults is using a slur.

Do you even read what you type? If you genuinely believe narcissists are magic then you are truly deluded.
Another place where this view falls short is that a person doesn’t need to have NPD to act like a narcissist on a regular basis, the same way a person can be volatile and not meet the criteria for BPD.

TIL Being an asshole is a disability
pwNPD are not assholes at any higher rate than the general population. What you’re describing is a stereotype about a disability.
Ah, so you can be a ‘nice’ narcissist? Go away.
You don’t get to decide what is a slur. Go away.
Of course I don’t get to decide what’s a slur. The people who use mental conditions as insults decide that.
It sure seems like you’re in here trying to enforce your personal opinion that the word people are using is a slur.
It’s not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn’t one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It’s a fact.
Care to provide any of that? Because so far all I have seen is your opinion, and a bunch of people disagreeing.

The N word is specifically a slur referring to a mental disorder, and is thus an oppressive slur

This is not evidence that the term is a slur.
This is the definitions of words which most everyone in this thread certainly already knew, strung together with your opinion that they are connected.
While this has been somewhat entertaining, I don’t think I’ll continue to feed your delusions any further.
I will not be replying again. Goodbye.
