AITA for making up stories for Reddit? (React Court) 

Second this. Turn React Court into a weekly podcast :)

meanwhile he makes 39 episodes of that shit marvel game which was the worst performing series in a long time.

I do the exact same thing

Saaaame. I'll listen to it in the car or cleaning.

Thats why bits and banter is so good.

Right when I think RC is Joever, it comes back

Unfortunately there is a priority to the rules it goes: 1) Being pregnant 2) Being the older/younger sibling 3) You are the home owner.

@@BloodravenKennen I would slot "it's your wedding" either above or below being pregnant, but I'd love to know your thoughts

@@zoom3184 in a way "its your wedding" is a variant on "you are the home owner"

@@BloodravenKennen Pregnancy is just being a house for a baby, so that's my house my rules. Siblings are fighting over the house, primogeniture has gone by the wayside, and so the struggle leaves deep scars. Weddings are melding two metaphorical houses together, and the clash of rules always leads to delicious drama. Truly, households are the root of all justification.

I've gotten back into CIv recently and I'd be so excited to see him play some, but like he said it would probably perform like crap

Bullshit, I'm a younger child and the horse one pissed me off. It has nothing to do with being the older child.

hint: it's all of them. all redditors

@@TheSpenWPana you'll understand when you're older

Youngest sibling spotted

Idk why they feel the need to go right to lying. In every sibling spat there’s two sides of the story and the parents have to play r/aita to decide who deserves punishment if any. The redditors are always so dramatic too. NL is crazy not seeing how a punishment that benefits the other sibling is a bad idea tho. But the end of the day he’s right it’s not a big deal

@pin_Nothernlion no heckin way I am pogging so hard rn omg omg real northhernlino wty im i am shkiing right now what the fuck no h*ckin way

For sure lol. I had a twin sister and definitely felt the brunt of this-every time I was punished for something I could visibly see her getting away with (as in they knew she was doing it), it didn’t matter how many “the situation is different because” qualifiers they added to the punishment. When it starts looking like a golden child vs. scapegoat dynamic reason goes out the window, the ‘scapegoat’ will be seething mad lmao. It got to the point where I was being the parent. If she was bullying me, calling for our parents wouldn’t make it stop. So _I_ had to make it stop. So I’d do the yelling and the disciplinary screaming etc. and it became a really fucking weird sibling dynamic. They didn’t like it and would get mad at me for yelling at precious angel, but because in my eyes they weren’t parenting they’d already lost authority over me. Even extreme measures from them like “no you ARE going to listen or else I’ll take your phone” nope you can’t have it I won’t give it to you “then I’ll hit you” I’m not coming over to get hit, I’m locking my door to protect myself and if you take the door in order to reach me I leave the house. They’d already gotten so used to escalating punishments before that I’d just escalate with them so very minor issues would get out of hand very fast. All because they weren’t willing to perform any of the punishments on _her._ Wild times. Parents like northernlion with a “you’ll just have to deal with it, as the punishment continues you’ll mellow out and realize you were wrong and just do the time” attitude are very unrelatable to me because it’s such a naïve perspective. If parents are never wrong or they can do _anything_ in the name of teaching you a lesson, that message doesn’t make it to the kids. The message it DOES send is “this is exactly how I should handle conflict resolution too. break promises, be stubborn, etc.” I just did the time and went right back to business as usual because the root problem wasn’t solved, and eventually just stopped. Like in the reddit story’s example if the elder daughter refused to clean the horse’s pen altogether punishment or not.* What can a stubborn parent do at that point but escalate? _That’s_ how minor issues like this detonate a relationship even if outsiders think it’s dramatic. That’s life. *(The shit would just keep piling up and the horses would suffer for it, but anyone who’d blame the daughter in that scenario for the animal cruelty would be delusional. That’s 100% on the parents.)

YUP!!!!!!

Maybe she shouldn't have been a beepboop to the younger sister and she wouldn't be forced to make it up to her, huh? She's suppose to be unhappy and dislike it. If you choose to literally keep seething that's your problem.

Minus rumbleverse. Rest in peace 🙏

This isn't Switch Golf I'm suffering from backspin withdrawals

dog i thought this said golden age of consent

NTA your channel your rules

I learned that people can write an essay reciting what happened to them, sometimes over several days, yet for some reason can barely communicate with someone who raised them their entire lives, nor someone they regularly live and sleep with...

A lot of people were abused by their parents :/ actually the majority of child abuse is perpetrated by their parents, almost all child abuse lol

Yeah. Or if people are so worried about it causing resentment, seems like a simple solution would be to have the sisters do it together. Each one takes care of one horse for that week. Then the 13yo doesn't get to just "take a break," 17yo learns her lesson, and maybe the sisters bond over it or something

@@franplants yeah that's why I said "one stall" instead of both. Having to make her do both I agree would cause potential resentment

Eh, NL is pretty detached from reality at times, he literally hits anything that doesn't fit his worldview with an r/thathappened. I mean they might be fake, but I feel like if you're just going to claim every post is fake and hit skip, why bother with the series?

@@nattteothe beauty of react court is that even if he says it is fake, he’ll still review the story like it’s real and go off if it’s ridiculous, the way i go about listening to react court is just enjoying when he shares his own anecdotes and goes off on the people in the post, the series has created some amazing bits

@@nattteo He doesn't skip them though

BTW if the story is fake that guy an asshole for thinking he owned someone in his power fantasy.

@@hikikomori_3708 my brother in christ, he skipped like the first 4 posts in the video

I think it’s also the curse of variety. I love SAP and love a lot of rogue likes he plays. But not all. So whether I watch a vid depends on the game. I think a lot of other people are like that but with different tastes in egg games than I have. But react court is pure unfiltered egg banter which is the one thread that unites all of us so all the different game enjoyers come together and all watch the same vid

@@huckthatdish yeah, for me it's also that I've seen all other episodes of react court because there aren't that many so it feels like I'm caught up with The Lore™ while other series are super long and it feels weird watching a random one even though I know you can watch them out of order for the banter

One of my favorite subreddits. I'll go on there every now and then and just read for a couple hours lol.

yes i just discovered it such a good subreddit

NL kept acting like the start and end of the issue was "People think that making a 17 year old shovel horse poop is too extreme" and I was practically screaming at my monitor for him to actual pay attention to to the words people were saying. I mean to be fair reddit also acted like that was the whole issue so it's not just him.

Tsss yeah or tight react court or sumptin.

pfp checks out

nah I think most people with siblings hold on to some resentment but mostly you just deal with it instead of using every opportunity to project it into other people's lives.

​@@VinchVideos nah lol

@@ninjacell2999 I said nah first you can't just say nah to my nah, YTA.

@@VinchVideos now kiss

No but the internet is a never ending rally for them

yes

posting on reddit is co-morbid with being insane

Depends, are we talking “totally bonkers” or are we just talking “a little nutso”

Well you see the older sibling behaved badly and thus was punished completely fairly. I hope this clears things up for you and you single digit iq, have a good day.

i'm kinda glad he stopped using the verdict of "get some real problems" because that honestly should be the verdict for 95% of AITA posts

I mean, if I said I didn’t want horses please don’t get her horses, then FINE but they’re her horses I won’t be responsible for them, and then I was expected to clean up after them for any reason at all? It reeks (pun intended) of the classic scenario where the person who least wants a dog/pet ends up being the one doing all the dog related training/care/chores. It sounds dramatic to northernlion because he’s not just an only child but a dad, so he better hope if he pulled something like this his child wouldn’t resent him. But the truth is any child will definitely resent you over it and no amount of time in the punishment will make them learn their lesson. It doesn’t teach “gee golly maybe I shouldn’t have been mean to my sister” it teaches “my parents don’t keep their word so I won’t expect them to in the future.” It’s not a relationship ender to not trust your parents. I’d argue most children don’t trust their parents. OP isn’t guaranteed for the nursing home ‘because his daughter’s being a drama queen, first world problems, etc.’ or anything-it’s just that next time they pull another tall tale like ‘we’re getting your sister a horse but it’s her responsibility don’t worry’ she won’t fall for that shit for a fucking second. And OP might not like that.

Like any amount of “yeah ok I _promised_ but maybe don’t be mean to your sister!” commentary was begging for the exact response he got from chat lol. Don’t make promises you can’t/don’t expect to keep (like his dramatized hyperbole of “I know I promised you’ll never be arrested but you killed someone”). As much as he says reddit/people overreact about keeping promises and abiding by contracts that’s kind of what they’re for? I don’t really get the point of going to AITA and flip-flopping between “this isn’t a real problem/this conflict doesn’t even matter why bother trying to get an outside perspective on it” and “this conflict is too over the top and dramatic it has to be fake there’s no way they don’t know who the asshole is” The issue is multi-faceted, yeah. There are reasons I can think of to break a promise to your children, but they’re all super high stakes scenarios like “you tell people you disowned me as your parent and we’re not family anymore. obviously you’re no longer in my will despite me promising you the inheritance”. Why would you toss around the trust your child has in your word over her being mean to her sister? I have a sister who was mean af to me growing up and this is a really weird punishment. “It’s just a week if you have a pet you clean up after it” “she’s not supposed to like being punished” 1. IT’S NOT HER PET 2. not liking something isn’t the threshold for it being a punishment, I’d definitely file this under cruel and unusual. Something doesn’t have to be abuse to be a bad parenting decision. It’s not _that_ big a deal for distance to be added to your relationship with your child-it’s not like you’ll be cut out or never see them again especially if this isn’t a pattern, but your child just won’t rely on you for this kind of trust anymore. I don’t see why parents should be so offended by the thought that every action as a reaction & children are malleable and will learn from your behavior. A so-called “teachable moment” will be a teachable moment, whether you like the lesson it actually taught or not.

@@Biggest_Of_Birds Everyone deals with different shit and it’s honestly shitty to downplay peoples problems even though they may seem insignificant to some. There’s always someone who has it worse than you but that doesn’t invalidate your troubles, however small they be.

@@Maltesfilm Nahhh some people don’t have real problems.

Because making someone doing something is immoral i would not feel okay doing it to anyone especially my child, taking away something YOU gave them however is absolutely fair

@@VladOSDGL but by making them give you their things, you’re also forcing them to do something they don’t want to do

@@nightripper799 welp trying to pretend its the same thing didnt work for me :D

@@VladOSDGL it's not immoral to make some one do something. Parents make their kids do things all the time anyway, like going to bed and eating their vegetables. Punishing a child by making them clean an animal's mess is really that bad at all. Spending time doing chores is a good way for children to learn and meditate on their misbehaviour.

@@Smonsequenses there is a difference between teaching ur kids doing what is nessesary and forcing them to do chore , parents task is to explain their kids what is nessesary and not force them to do it, cleaning animal mess is not bad , even cleaning whole house is not bad but what is bad is to force someone to do it

NL had such an only child take. He clearly has never experienced this kind of interaction between siblings. The entire incident reeks of favouritism from the father for the younger daughter.

​@@TheSpenWPana he strawmanned that people were advocating for no punishment (literally i didn't see anyone argue for no punishment) and completely ignored the obvious golden child scenario. if he has kids and one of them gets 2 horses as a gift and he thinks that's okay...rip relationship

also like. how is she gonna study and get her grades up if she’s busy shoveling shit?

@@SuperRollyTrollyit should only take like 15 minutes a day.

@@user-vb8zo6kh4j For someone motivated and experienced maybe.

Exactly, people overreact to doing something unpleasant. A bad smell is not torture

@@limejarrito Ehh it's still way overkill for a kid being rude to their sibling. That's barely worth making her do the dishes, let alone a week of cleaning up shit.

I think you can get used to things if you want to. If you have an active resentment towards it, it would just alienate you towards it. You need to have some amount of will to change, or else you’ll be putting up barriers to getting used to it at all

A historic moment in NL clip history

It wsa greatly enunciated!

It's genuinely a completely unhinged response to the situation. Like you can tell your child to sleep out in the rain overnight because "it's a punishment, you're not supposed to like it"

It really depends on what “needlessly insulting” means imo. If it was sibling bickering I’m on your side, if it was full-on bullying I don’t think it’s entirely unjustified. I’m still stuck on the dad buying two horses for one child, though.

I agree that it’s one of the biggest disagrees with NL, but I think that like 50% of it is cause he’s used to poop. Like if you swap this around with shoveling leafs or something, no one would care. I think he basically views shoveling poop like shoveling leafs because he’s so used to it.

Yup, this was the only react court where I demanded an appeal to my monitor LOL. He got his feelings hurt by everyone correctly pointing out his lack of understanding of siblings and dug deep into the bunker which only made chat ratchet up the attacks, further making egghead feel like he was right and everyone else was mad lol.

how on earth are all of you here forgetting that the sibling was also punished for other things on top of just the argument? like i'd still call the punishment out of pocket myself, but you're bashing his take on a faulty premise

Better than a couple have a kid when they both hate children because not having one is “dodging responsibilities.”
