It's not even their fault, it's people that think close mindlessly who think only their opinions matter (a lot of people on here) who usually have shit lives and their only way to feel good about themselves is shitting on other people's life decisions that in no way will ever effect them anytime in life.
The Great EDating Debate

My message was in no way directed towards you. Sorry if it came out that way. It was more of an add on to the question you put forward and how I think it wasn't their faults on how the controversy started.
he was the most inactive fucking kid. He would beg for money but hated recording the videos.
Some online relationships has led to marriages and amazing relationships because the people share common interests. I think it has just gotten a bad wrap from all of the cringey nine year olds who were "dating". Yes, lots of the relationships online may not be meaningful but some are. Some people have good healthy relationships from meeting online. You need to stop judging people for dating online it's their life let them be and stop trash talking others just because you may not meet people the same way.
I used to clown edating in this large group chat a while ago. So looking at these posts, I see a lot of similarity with what I myself said at one point. My friends and I all thought it was super ironic that I ended up doing this whole online thing, but I never actively sought it out or even expected it to happen this way. A lot of people have the wrong idea about what’s actually going on. I’ve never had any trouble with anything irl and I am fully confident in my looks (you should’ve seen Cate’s reaction to seeing me for the first time), it’s just that I was never able to find anyone like Cate before. I got tired of the same materialistic and social-media obsessed girls which I was never able to truly find a connection to and I always seemed to encounter them. And I hate being thought of differently just because of nice things I have, it really pisses me off. I even vented my frustrations to Arc at one point and said something like “Why can’t I find someone that exhibits X qualities and looks like X” and he brought up the whole online thing and I told him that it’s not for me and I said I’ll just see if I get a better selection at Uni or something like that. So after a while of this, I got annoyed and tried it anyway. The event I am referring to, I wrote about in my other thread and I hate talking about it because it was so awful. But all it did was solidify my disdain for the whole online thing and I just felt “I was right, I knew these things would never work.” But then I found Cate and everything got better, so much better that it entirely changed my view. She was going through something and chose to speak to me about it. She seemed to be a super nice and caring person who is easy to talk to and that proved to be true. She really is very beautiful both inside and outside. She always tries to put me before her and I do the same. If I need comfort or anything, she’ll wake up early rather than going to bed and will spend literally the whole day/night talking to me until the next morning in her time. This is what I always needed, someone who matches and even exceeds the love I put in and loves me for who I am. We can talk daily for 6+ hours if we have the time and we always have things to talk about and do and every day just keeps getting better and better. We genuinely have a very strong connection, and say what you will, but it’s a million times more real than anything I’ve experienced irl.
To me, “edating” and “long distance relationships” are two different things. “Edating” is regarded as a superficial relationship in which a sometimes lonely, younger kid finds some girl through a game or social media and they’re just there for the sake of it, it’s not actually real and it will fade away in a month or two tops and there are no plans to advance the relationship past being behind computer screens. The stigma associated with online-based relationships stems from what I just described “edating” as. In fact, that’s what happens in the majority of cases. Only a small percentage work out, and the deciding factor in that is how strong the connection is, how much time you have and if you are able to afford travel costs until you find a permenent moving solution. And personally, all those factors are working for me. I like to plan things out, and that’s exactly what I did with Cate. The first thing is our first meet in May, she’s going to prom with me and I’m delighted because I will get to go with someone I love and not someone just for the sake of going. We already purchased the plane tickets and we already have a hotel in mind which I will be at with Cate every day and night for the week she is here. Then the following month, I will visit Cate for around a month and I’ll stay at her apartment with her. We plan to visit each other every holiday and any time we have at least a good week. She also plans to move here in a few years which we both are extrememy excited for. There’s no way you can compare what I just described to a few 14 year olds messing around on minecraft and skype.
If there’s one thing people who know me know, it’s that I do what I want, I get what I want and I don’t give a shit about what anyone thinks of me. I found this forum from a simple google search and became the figurehead of it and most influential person, I started entire trends like snipe transferring, brought back the mc account section, caught and called out thousands of ban evaders and so much more. I was always in the top of my class, I got into my #1 choice university on a scholarship (meaning I get to keep what was set aside for me to pay for it when I graduate), I have a bright future in business and I will have the assets I need to begin any venture I’d like without needing a loan, everything is made for me and I am genuinely happy with my life and the direction it’s going and I’m happy that I have a plan and clear sense of direction.
Some people need to stop being edgy, judgemental assholes who incorrectly assume things and have no idea what’s actually going on. I’m happy, successful and am pleased to see the huge support many people have given me because it really means a lot. I just felt the need to write this up because a lot of people don’t know anything about me and incorrectly assume things.

You had a strong argument, but then you ruin it at the end by essentially turning into the Navy Seal copy pasta. Now I don't know you and you don't know me, but why is it that you have to go and bring out all these accomplishments as if it makes your opinion somehow more valid than someone else's? I'm sure this childish behavior came at a moment of weakness, but it is still sad to see that you think this somehow makes your argument better. But onto what you argue for, that is great, but you are not the majority. The majority of people that get into that lifestyle are using it as a way to date without consequences and avoid the harsh reality that dating is hard. Dating was never meant to be easy, using the internet to try and cushion it just shows weakness of character which I do not want to find myself associated with.
I brought up things about myself because I was tagged in this thread and I felt that if I hadn’t made my previous thread, this one would’ve never been made. I wanted to make it clear that I’m not like those descriptions everyone made up. My post was more about myself than it was the topic itself.
And yes, I understand that a lot of people do that. That’s the reason why I originally didn’t want to be so public about it - I didn’t want to be thought of as one of those people. I was forced to bring up what I did in that previous thread because there were false rumors floating around about me.
