Poll of the Day > Katy Perry Situation is Crazy

(+) Yeah! (+)

at least duckbear had the grace to copy paste text in his topics, you have just been posting front page youtube videos

Stop the disrespect. Duckbear wrote his own articles! You could tell by reading them

you could tell 100% duckbear never used chatgpt

he did his own work

Are just gonna go and make me respect Duckbear?

He was a total weirdo and in many ways not very likeable, but his commitment to the bit was undeniable and well deserving of respect.

True, there was a distinct "Duckbearness" to the writing. It was all copy/pasted from other articles, but sprinkled with a dash of his own flavor of bias.

Granted, that's how all modern journalism is.

Duckbear is a top 10 potder for me. Hate that you people ran him off.

It was copy-pasted from existing articles, then he'd call a woman a fat cow or ask whether or not people thought she was hot or not. That's not really "writing".

i always liked duckbear and never understood why people got their panties so wadded by his topics

He knew how to get people engaged. Big media networks pay millions of dollars for that

I mean he got himself banned so how great was he

I love how this went from a no-context topic about Katy Perry and got completely derailed into a debate about duckbear lmao

Where did all these duckbear apologists crawl out from

i dont even care if he secretly kept folders on all of us. That always sounded fake anyway.

hell, all that info was all just shit taken directly from the old defunct potd wiki that used to exist

what it boils down to, is terminally online people not realizing that they could simply block buckbear, or even just use board filters, to literally never see him. in reality, they didn't because they fucking loved him. they could not stand not seeing any of his topics.

One of the many bans he earned over the years was for doxxing people with the information he'd gathered. I don't know the exact extent of what he collected or maintained, but he was at least keeping some stuff.

As much as I think it's creepy and douchy behavior, how can it be considered "doxxing" if the only way he could have gotten that information is from users openly posting it themselves? He just archived it for later use.

I'm not sure how much of it was explicitly posted and how much was him filling in blanks (like somebody mentioned their birthday in one topic and then in another topic mentioned their age, so he put those together to get their full date of birth and posted that), but either way I'd still call it doxxing to bring it all together in one place and share it without the person's permission. Sharing personal information gets considerably riskier the more you share at once, and being comfortable sharing each of those pieces of data in separate places over the course of months or even years (with the expectation that everyone involved will likely forget it shortly because they have little individual value) doesn't translate into being comfortable sharing it all in one consolidated file.
