So an already mediocre story by a racist transphobe was made a million times worse for a cultist? Thank goodness your mod exists to be the silver lining on this radiation storm cloud.
Uhm, sorry, but which book/author you are talking about ? (I'm curious) I'm not from the west and I dont have much western materials to read to begin with so I'm kinda at a loss here.
he is talking about the pile of bile and self important steaming crap know as "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality"
and yes, it is that bad, it's like a million train wrecks that you can't look away from all condensed down into one overlong, overloved and braincell killing travesty that people still read and comment about how brilliant it is
I think it just gets into your head and starts to rot your mind, leaving behind everything that a good cult retrieval agent and anti-brainwash specialist looks to try and remove from a victim
Yeah, there's this fanfic written by a "Rationalist" called Elizer Yudowsky. He made a cult called Elizer's Rationalists and he claims to be an AI Expert, living off the donations people make to "His" organization, which actually does sweet F.A.. He's created a cult of people that make Chuck Norris jokes about him, because they beleive the "Harry-Zer is the smartest wizard ever!" crap his book preaches. He took the brilliant Harry Potter series, stood on a bunch of old Sci-Fi books, and urinated upon Harry Potter while his fans clap and applaud.
If his fans weren't cultists, the ones that deify Elizer would be treated the same way Game Grumps fans treat the Polygrumps crowd.
umm...ok? how about we get a simple synopsis, and then you rant about it? cause i haven't read it, but you're starting to make me want to, JUST to see what the flying F**K you're talking about. WHAT makes this fic where Harry-is-the-smartest-wizard-ever any different from any other OP/GODLIKE! Harry fic?
I'll tell you what makes this different from any other poorly-written godlike!Harry fic.
People take this one seriously.
Elizer Yudowsky is a cultist that preaches to his followers about the oncoming armaggeddom where an AI will take over the world, and the only way to make sure Satan (I mean, the super-AI) won't smite you and send you to hell is to donate money to his "AI Research Facility". He's a lying cultist, and you know how I feel about lying cultists. He uses this "Smart Harry" fic as an advertisement to lure dumb people into his cult. It starts with "If you want to become smart and rational like Harry, read these things!" and ends up with you becoming a full-time member of his Self-Esteem Team.
The synopsis of the story is "This is a more rational version of Harry Potter, starring a more rational Harry, because J.K. Rowling is an idiot".
The story claims to be a smarter version of Harry Potter.
Instead, it's like Sonichu met Chick Tracts in a One Night Stand and they had a baby, and the baby grew up with his adopted dad, r/IAmVerySmart, in an Echo Chamber. Elizer is convinced he's an "Autodidact" (Guy that learned stuff himself instead of being taught it) and his dumb crank ideas are "Too rational" for "Big Science". He thinks he's right and everyone that knows more than him is wrong. He doesn't even understand how AI works.
wow....just wow, so like the curious cat, i decided to see what the hell all the hubbub was about because i finally had an afternoon off. I have already downloaded your mod as i remembered it and it is literally the only good thing to come out of that.....story(?) my doubts have been washed away and i deeply regret ever doubting you on that....yes, steaming pile of cows**t is an excellent name for it.
Hey, check out how many views this suddenly has! Looks like someone smelled someone not thinking they were cool. Mods, if a certain cult mass-reports this, you know who to blame!
That was my reaction during a lot of that fic. It got to the point where I was only reading it because I didn't want to give up. Then I was only reading it because I wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole went and how far up his own ass Elizer's head had gone. Then I eventually lost interest in wading through neck-high raw sewage, read a summary of the final parts, and closed that chapter of my life.

Also, you don't actually have to read that shitpile, your character insta-gets the perk upon Using the book item.
imagine needing to believe anyone who doesn't love your baby fanfic just doesn't "Get it".

I didn't enjoy it much either
