“You made me do this” is literal abuser logic.

Alright, I’ll bite. Whom do you mean by “them” and what coup are you referring to?

Who said anything about changing him? I just wanna have fun.

You can apply a matte finish yourself with a piece of fine sandpaper.

Do you get more science or less if you use a baseball bat?

Yes, but by other companies. Those problems are not created intentionally in order to create and exploit a market, they’re just consequences of those other companies doing business. Pretty much the only example of companies creating problems so that they can sell solutions I can think of is free-to-play games (e.g. make game excessively grindy on purpose to sell boosters). Some of that scummy monetization is now creeping into real-world products, with things such as subscription-based heated seats that are installed in your car regardless but disabled unless you pay up, but the vast majority of products and services on the market address problems that were not created by their manufacturers/providers.

Sudden? No, not really. People have sucked at reading comprehension as far back as I can remember (which is some decades).

That’s what this meme about ‘sigmaposting’ is poking fun at. The sigma wolf is supposed to be the lone wolf who doesn’t need nor care about anybody else, and for some reason some people look up to that as an ideal to pursue. But wolves are social animals, so in reality the lone wolf is a failing loser.

So in other words, they can afford to pay damages for it. Make them pay!
