In a flash, the situation was turned around, the tensions eased, as thanks to the Rizzmasters' skilful ways, the moderators and censors became... pleased.
Well, more than pleased. Delighted.
It is always an uplifting experience, a joy to interact with a true Rizzmaster, someone who seemingly effortlessly brightens up your day…
The moderators, stressed and rarely appreciated for their tireless efforts keeping the online peace, felt warm and fuzzy inside as the Rizzmasters gave them their much overdue recognition…
A welcome relief from having to put out fires and deal with all sorts of entitlement and online social ineptness.
Bob joined the Association of Rizzmasters server and was quickly greeted and exposed to various helpful resources on the Art of Rizz.
But what about the 'Art of Rizz' manuals?!
Never fear. Nothing beat true experience. The 'Art of Rizz' Manuals were true treasures beyond measures, the fruits of Old Man Li's Cultivation, and the culmination of a long lineage of knowledge, handed down from generation to generation…
That said, in the modern world, obviously, times were a' changing.
Technology had enabled and facilitated the rapid… dissemination of the Art of Rizz!
Bob knew that this was an opportunity… allowing for Education and Training on a global basis that wouldn't ordinarily be possible - it would be an instrumental part of his plans...

Of course, despite this initial success, they had only done half of the job.
The Rizzmasters knew that reversing the ban was only the beginning. They had to also Rizz up the [Politically Correct Movement] led by Captain Karen Killjoy, in order to avoid further future troubles.
For this, Max O' Scooru (Sovereign), the server leader of the Association of Rizzmasters, had to personally step in, so the readers could have some measure of his abilities.
At the same time, he also encouraged the rest of the Rizzmasters to educate the SIMPS, leading them to post various messages such as the following:
"Karen… I've heard it said that a laugh-react signals interest - really, if you think about it… it's a form of flattery…"
"I-I want a laugh react… 😞"
"Laugh-reacts are so good and so hard to obtain!!!"
In this way, the Rizzmasters expanded the views of the SIMPS and more importantly, Karen herself.
"Y-you think so?"
"...Yes." Rizzmaster Max replied unflinchingly, although he allowed a smile to play on his lips... since it was just text online, it wasn't like the other person could see his face!!!
Ah, the things that could be endured for brotherhood!!!
"Since the dawn of the current epoch, back when dial-up internet was just starting to replace fax machines, and the fiber-optic cable was just coming into being…
...In a dimly-lit IT room, a man, nay, a legend, one of the great Heroes of Old…
Unearthed the code, and forged the UI for what we now know as…
the legendary... "laugh-react…"
Karen gasped, even as she got herself some popcorn to better enjoy the tale.
Rizzmaster Max continued.
"...Yes. Opinions may differ, but originally, in it's purest form, the laugh-react was created to spread positivity, joy, to affirm and empower another human being, across time and space, lands and seas, from that day forth... one human being, one person, thick or thin, big or small, hot or not, regardless of everything... they could just click the emoji… and the other would immediately receive a blessed gift of byte-sized happiness!!!
"S-so it's a gift?!?!" Karen gasped, awed by the insight.
"...Not only that… there are many such gif...ts.. many emojis…
It was important to nip the issue in the bud. All this had happened over just one laugh react… there were virtually infinite emojis and gifs… what would happen if it happened again?!?!
"Yes. Emojis... And even gifs…"
"As the name implies, All of these are gif...ts… gifts of human interaction in a world where people are losing genuine connection…!!!"
"So it's like that!!!"
"Yeah… pretty much."
After this revelation, Karen had a change of heart, realising that perhaps that original silly Rizzmaster who laugh-reacted was just shy. Maybe... just maybe... he just wanted to be part of the SIMPS too...
She immediately messaged in the Politically Correct Server Chat, saying that the misunderstanding had been resolved, called off her SIMP army, and peace was restored!!!!
...At least… For now…
