LORE ARCHIVE

concept

A metaphorical framework for understanding disruptive chat users. Trolls feed on attention, arguments, and emotional reactions. They starve in silence and swift moderation. The strategy is to not debate, educate, or psychoanalyze trolls, but simply remove disruptions to let them go hungry.

artifact

A free giveaway project Psyche is working on that will be distributed through his website. Features original artwork and guidance on understanding troll behavior.

ritual

The show operates with a stated troll-hostile environment, not out of meanness but efficiency. Trolls are not ignored or fed attention; instead, they are named, documented, and systematically addressed. This is framed as a protective measure for genuine community members.

character

A character created by Psyche that serves as the protagonist of their handbook, explicitly based on Psyche themselves and representing their approach to trolling and remedies

event

Multiple accounts (including Katarina, fake Jimnick, and others) are suspected to be operated by the same person or coordinated troll group. They frequent various streamer chats and make allegations and disruptive comments. Psyche suggests they are harmless if ignored.

event

Psyche has faced coordinated attacks including being 'porn bombed' 100 times, yet his show has survived. This reflects ongoing challenges with bad-faith community members trying to damage the show.

concept

Trolls derive power from emotional reactions; humor and indifference remove their leverage and motivation

event

A recurring problematic user who appears with multiple alt accounts (approximately 10-15 alts at a time) and makes negative comments about Psyche's physical environment (concrete, carpet cleanliness) and cats. Recognizable by a 'creepy, dirty vibe.' Mods are authorized to ban on sight.

concept

A recurring dynamic in online content creation where trolls gain platform visibility and relevance through creator reactions, despite contributing nothing of value to the show or community.

artifact

Psyche's book about trolling tactics and manipulation techniques in online spaces, featuring chapters on projection and other psychological manipulation

cosmology

A recurring thematic element in the show's opening presentation contrasting negative forces (terrible trolls in the dark) with positive forces (angels dancing with torchlight), suggesting the show navigates between chaos and light.

concept

Throughout the show's intro song and banter, trolls are presented as an integral part of the show's ecosystem—simultaneously antagonistic and beloved, transformed into 'memoir' and in-jokes that unite the community.

character

Shadow army created by Rahu consisting of echoing doubt, false accusation, phantom rumor, and digital demons

concept

A social construct used to diminish those who refuse conformity; the message advises disregarding such labels as they do not define one's true nature or purpose.

concept

Psyche believes he has divine protection through three trusted female guests (Pie, Be's Kitty, Jamie Rose) who form a protective coven around him

concept

Recurring philosophical stance that truth is complex, nuanced, and contains multitudes rather than existing in absolutes

concept

Psyche's personal philosophy about the limits of forgiveness, using the biblical metaphor of 'turning the other cheek' as a framework for understanding when compassion should end and boundaries should begin.
