Catfish

  1. The topic of this thread is catfishing. I have a few questions to ask you, the people of Pimd, regarding this topic.



    1. Why do you care if someone is a "catfish"?

    If someone wants to pretend to be someone they're not, let them. Their pretense only hurts themselves. It has no impact on you.


    2. Isn't personality what matters?

    People claim that catfishes are lying about who they are, yes, maybe that is true. But what is actually important is that you enjoy having conversations with that person. They can't fake being interesting, sassy, or witty. That is who they are, and no matter what face they hide under, that's exactly who they'll be.


    3. Why not let them pretend?

    Most of us go on to Pimd to get away from our real lives for a few moments. If for some people, the way to get away from their real lives is by pretending to be someone else, why not let them? It doesn't harm anyone.


    4. Do you think before you accuse?

    I have a friend who was accused of being a catfish (the accusations were false), but still, that friend was accused just because someone disagreed with them about something. Those who accuse others, do you think about the negative impact you have on people when you throw around these accusations? Even when they are true? I mean honestly, where is your dignity?

  7. But some people also do it for safty reasons. There's stalkers and killers sadly I haven't come across anyone who's done that lol. But that's none of my business 
     
  8. Sommy u the biggest catfish ever ? jk 
     
  9. It's all about intention though, isn't it? As they said, some perverts do it to lure others in. Like the "talhotblonde" incident. Read up on that if you haven't heard of it. SO messed up.
     
  10. I switched to a guy avi for a day once and one of my tuts called me a creep then said they would block me.
     
  11. I guess, intention does matter. But what if the person is just doing it for themselves?
     
  12. They need to be punished
     
  13. If they are then they should just be aware that there will be some people who will not be kind and understanding about it. Some people jusge on impulse and categorize everyone based on the actions of a few.
     
  14. I do this but mostly bc I don't want any of you to know who I am. Though I think most people who know me know this. On this game I mean. They know I won't tell them anything or lie what they think they know about me. Actually no one even knows my gender in this game. Eh

    Wait... Doesn't catfish mean you're trying to catch something though? Wait I think I got ths wrong now.
     
  15. I know April stop saying that to me hurting my feelings (that I don't have )
     
  16. i do realoze this is just a game, and im well aware that people on here are realy but.their faces arent ( many of them not all) , but this is a social game in which you interact with people, during this process some people may develop feelings for others, so no matter what the intention is, catfishing is always wrong, or at least thats how i view it
     
  17. Yeah the actual definition is basically someone who creates a false identity to pursue deceptive relationships online. By that defintion, it's really wrong. But some people have twisted it into just passing yourself off as someone you aren't even if you aren't serious.

    People just tend to jump at the whole "exposing" thing without really thinking. Maybe because people who expose others somehow get glorified sometimes.
     
  18. Kristi was a good catfish.. That immortals girl was a pretty good one, umm im pretty sure rs had a bomb ass catfish too.. Catfish are the best people on pimd
