2. real personals- a personal which is true gives the best hit but it comes at a price. example: a bar about somebodies dead relative. could be true, could be a good bar, but it hurts your reputation, the relationships with others and so on.

punk cries to try and make a point but it's lost on em. everyone (outside of me) agreed that personals are fair game, and the only thing people took exception to was fake personals. if you can't understand how a fake personal doesn't his as hard, that's your fault. in terms of a punchline, relating is paramount. most people won't be able to relate to an outright lie

Dont care if it's real or not. Yall making this shit a soft ass friendzone backyard battle league with only sisters.

You dudes fucking up the game running around talking about "dont know if the personals real or fake so I'm deducting points." Clown shit. Yall taking away from the culture with this cry baby soft "the personal might be fake" shit.

Lmfao cant believe this is what battle rap has become. Niggas deciphering if a personal is real or not. Lol imagine pulling out your phone and googling details about a personal in a live battle then saying "nah you're a liar. Look at what I found on facebook".

You're a homo and your wife barely like you because your dick is small and you ugly. Now tell me that's a fake personal; clown. Stop mentioning my name, fruit by the foot

I don't want to get caught in the crossfire here cos honestly, above all else I just don't care on this particular topic, but here's what I think:

If you're using real, completely true personals, as long as its information that is known about on the site then its fair game. If its something that isn't personally identifying information that the person chose to share with you off-site, it's also fair game, but I do think it's also fair for that person to be upset with you and for it to damage your friendship with them.

For 'fake personals', I think it comes down to believability. Stuff like "I'm gonna shoot you!" or "You are a gay prostitute!" are obviously untrue, so that doesn't even cross my mind when I'm voting and doesn't affect my reading of the bar. However, something that is extremely plausible but completely false (for example if I had a bar like "Punk has been sucking off EtH in the forums all year and never disagrees with him") then my mind will automatically ask "Is this true?" and when I think back and go "Oh no that's completely wrong", not only does it distract me from the actual punch but also makes me feel subconsciously disappointed in the bar. This is why I feel plausible but false personal accusations are less effective, not because there's something morally wrong or mean about them at all, but just because it serves as a distraction and puts me off while reading them.
