At this point, I’m more inclined to sunset Stark. What’s happened is that a perfectly good title has been ruined because a few people that were obsessed with beating people over the head with fear called Stark “feminine” because it wasn’t “hyper-aggressive.”
The thing is, the title has about 85% of Emperor’s status scripting, and the ONLY reason for this nonsense is because it was the first unisex title – and the label of “Any Gender” brought out the worst biases in people. There wasn’t even a report of Stark being “weaker” until this stuff occurred:
If you got on stage with Stark and froze, that’s your own issue – there’s more than enough resilience scripting from Emperor, balanced with social alpha scripting from Daredevil, True Social and other titles to handle dealing with fame.
Stark was literally the pinnacle of tech at the time, because we had applied everything we knew about taking scripting from other titles and adapting it to fit a new goal. For almost a year after release, there were no issues, people were enjoying the sub, most were shocked at how alpha it actually felt and how often they started getting laid.
Then someone started posting about “feminine energy” being brought out, which they defined as being more social. And you have to ask yourself where the notion of being social and popular became “feminine.” In what world is being personable and outwardly friendly, but rock solid on the inside and devoted to achieving your tech goals inherently “feminine”?
So, what – unless you’re running around acting like Wolverine, you’re not “masculine?” Are we really going to argue that Captain America’s MCU depiction isn’t masculine? But here’s the thing. We made “Wolverine” titles. It’s called Emperor, lol. Go run that if that’s what you want. If you want the best of both worlds, stack them like you do for every title. But no, you’re trying to apply some kind of odd social pressure to get us to change title (which, I assure you won’t work, I’m more liable to sunset the title in these situations).
But anyway – then another individual, who I’m most definitely going to call out, started talking about the “Any Gender” label.
But again, Stark has a ton of this scripting. The only thing that’s “missing” is the scripting from Emperor that’s responsible for the “anti-social” effect, where one retreats from the world and does their own thing. And the purpose of this scripting fits Emperor’s goals – you’re building something from sheer will, with no need for a team, or help. Just hard work.
Stark is a different animal. It is meant for collaboration, for popularity, and for innovation. This notion that it’s “weaker” is absolutely absurd and getting to the point of straight up ignorance. It’s like saying Emperor is “weaker” than Wanted Black, since WB will manifest romance situations faster.
Well, no shit. 90% of WB’s scripting is focused on this, while Emperor contains much more wealth and business scripting. Neither is “weaker” than the other – it is simply a different tool. People go on YouTube and watch videos on subliminals and energy and the occult, and then assume they know what we’re doing, and will argue with us on these topics.
And that’s exactly what happened – they saw the words “any gender” and lost their collective minds, assuming that we put “feminine” concepts into the script rather than the VERY OBVIOUS ANSWER that we simply avoided pronouns and the such.
We made it clear that the title was written from the standpoint of “traditional masculinity.” Now, we get three thousand questions in support from people asking “iS sTaRk fEmiNine,” when people can’t even define what they mean by that. Just some nonsense they saw here.
So what you have is a situation where a person is “afraid they will become feminine” and then start looking for any signs that Stark “feels feminine.” Let some recon hit and they shed a tear and OMG I AM BECOMING A WOMENZ ON STARK IT IS THE ANY GENDER."
Even if we filled Stark to the brim with Emperor’s scripting, unless we changed the label from “Any Gender,” you’re going to get people saying this same nonsense, because it has nothing to do with the script itself and everything to do with the attitude the individual has when using it. Remember, subliminal audio isn’t “mind control” like some people want to put out there.
Your mindset very much affects the performance. You go in with an open mind and you get high flow factor. You try to apply too much limited logic based upon your own experiences, you stunt the script. You literally create blockages and situations where recon will develop, because you’re too busy wondering if a result is too “feminine” rather than understanding where your own mind is trying to take you.
So – no, Stark will remain Stark. No other title has this “issue.” Stark only does because it was the first we labeled “any gender.”
that’s a good one
