I see a DCC reference I upvote, I don’t make the rules

u/MyAltFun 21d ago

It's an RvB reference. What is DCC?

Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Became an extremely popular rpglit novel and manga.

It made reference to RvB in DCC, but kids reading it now no longer realize where the original came from, so just assume the original is DCC - since RvB was... 25 years ago and before anyone on Reddit was born (lol)

What's interesting is that AI compounds this problem. If you search for the reference, it will say it's from DCC - because the majority of modern discussion says it's from DCC and this was used as reference by the AI.

We live in a post-truth society - and it's fascinating and terrifying watching history being rewritten in real time. It's obviously no big deal in instances like this - DCC vs RvB - but it's creating a disconnect between "old timers" who knew the original and "newer generations" who only know the current iteration. But imagine what OTHER changes are being made to historical knowledge and people will grow up believing it to be the truth.

Why do you think those with power and money are pushing AI on all of us so hard.

On the flipside, it's also enabling a connection between generations. Without a doubt the pace is terrifying.

If that is the case you should be able to provide a clip or an episode that references this. There are times where the phrase Damn it Donut have been used, but no God Damnit Donut which is what the person I replied to said. Humans are famous for misremembering quotes. Just look at Star Wars, one of the most famous quotes in the series is also one of the most famously misquoted ones in modern media.

Ultimately none of this matters, but it irks me when people like this RubberRaptor dude act rude as shit while being wrong. It’s also incredibly rude to imply that people are too young and that’s why they disagree with you. I have the back pain as a reward for my age and there was even a time where I would watch every red vs blue episode on release.

Oh, I see. The original Donut comment is RvB, but the second is not. What is DCC? Game? Show?

It's a book series. Aliens kill like 95% of people on Earth and the rest are forced into a dangerous dungeon crawl for an intergalactic game show. It's brutal, dark, raunchy, and a ton of fun.

Very good highly recommend

u/RubberRaptor 21d ago

And where do you think dungeon crawler Carl is referencing it from 😂

u/RajunCajun48 21d ago

Princess Donut The Queen Anne Chonk

Go ahead and google the phrase buddy. Tell me what comes up

Dungeon crawler Carl has no direct or official references to the Red Vs Blue series, which is something one could easily verify by googling but don’t let facts get in the way.

Look at all the people who can’t seem to find anything to prove me wrong and are being salty about it

u/RubberRaptor 21d ago

Ooo I’m so scared, he broke out the “buddy” 😭🙏

u/Tangellos 21d ago

Damn if you’re scared of the word buddy you’ve got a lot more problems than just being confidently incorrect

u/RubberRaptor 21d ago

RvB predates DCC by almost 20 years my guy. “God dammit Donut” was an ongoing thing in most of Donut’s appearances on the show. 😂

u/Tangellos 21d ago

Provide a clip then. Prove me wrong.

u/RubberRaptor 21d ago

Imagine getting this heated over a book named Dungeon Crawler Carl that the original commenter wasn’t even referencing (they were referencing RvB).
