### 1. **Anonymous + Terminally Online = Unfiltered Mental Spiral**
* 4chan’s anonymous format enables people to:
* Invent enemies
* Assume every post is about them
* Spin entire narratives out of nothing
* With no names or accountability, people just **project**, **paranoia-post**, and argue into the void.
> *“This is 100% DB falseflagging again.”*
> *“You're the ERP catboy from the last thread, I know it.”*
---
### 2. **Identity Drama & Parasocial Fixations**
* Posters develop long-term grudges or obsessions with recurring characters (e.g., “DB,” “Sapphire,” “the femboy from Balmung”).
* Even though it's anonymous, people track writing styles, image filenames, or screenshots and make wild guesses about who's who.
* This turns the thread into a soap opera where **half the posts are about each other**—not the game.
---
### 3. **ERP + Loneliness + Projection**
* Many posters are socially isolated or emotionally invested in ERP partners, FC drama, or FFXIV relationships.
* When those connections break down, it bleeds into the thread in the form of:
* Vagueposting
* Accusations
* Meltdowns
* “I was groomed by an Au Ra in 2021” rants
> The result: lots of emotionally volatile people spiraling in public.
---
### 4. **Schizo Posting Is the Content**
* On /xivg/, unhinged rants are **part of the entertainment**.
* People egg each other on, reply to bait, or even pretend to be the “schizo” for attention.
* What other boards would ignore, /xivg/ engages—making the thread feel like a self-sustaining psychodrama.
---
### 5. **Lack of Gameplay Anchors**
* There's no real grounding in structured gameplay (like progression, statics, meta discussion).
* The lack of shared goals means the thread orbits **social obsession**, which invites more projection, mental spiraling, and attention-seeking behavior.

xiv players are mentally ill. I peaked into /xivg/ the other day and there was some poster that roleplays his female highlander as a pedophile. It was fucking disgusting. I had to bookmark the album so I can remind myself what kind of sick fucks play the game.
