And that's just one of the threads recently that has turned into a shit-on-OP fest. So, before you post a rude comment like that, remember there is someone who wrote the OP in the first place, and would like a positive post. And then don't post. Just don't. And chill. EDIT: On a side note, I really miss MetorSkunk. That dude was positive as balls.    | ||

Also, mtdew's post speaks truth. Also also, that "Abusive Parents" blog is perhaps not the best example, as it was truly ridiculous. I cannot fathom how anyone would read something titled "Abusive Parents" which contains the line "They didn't even buy me an iPhone" and respond with empathy. I'm often snarkier than is perhaps called for, but come on. Really? | ||

I think we had people telling someone to suck it up and work harder at school when their parents were actually physically beating them one time. Its been this way forever. Since 2008. And wow, that's a lot worse than this current one... holy! | ||

And yeah, this is a community with a large % of Asians. Weakness and mediocrity are not treated with compassion. | ||

My profile says 2010. I've been here a while longer. Iranon - I read that part as him being upset he never got any birthday gifts or anything. It was pretty entitled sounding but it was one line in the post that everyone jumped on, ignoring the rest of it and the entire point of the blog. | ||

You don't remember when Rekrul was modding and Chill posted actively in blogs section? Fanatacism, CM, moltkewarding, Mani even. The old TL vets were way more belligerent when it came to someone they thought was stupid. Nowadays, the mods are mostly impersonal and cleave to site policy rather than individual biases. The kids just whine about balance. There's hardly anywhere near as much venomous hatred between fans of rival teams, just in general TL is much more benign than how it used to be. Sure, there was more chumminess between members who knew each other, but when it came to general reactions to idiocy, TL was a much more hostile place in the past. | ||

I couldn't help but think of this clip Maybe it would help keep people from being so serious | ||

Everyone's view and definition of "abusive parents" comes out and they always feel the need to compare each other on who had it worse (who endured the most, who suffered, etc.). It's like a pity-party of dick-waving. There is several legal definition of abusive parenting in as many countries as there is on earth. So while it is pointless to compare one's experience with another, it is certainly not wrong to say (and it was the case in the aforementioned blog post) to point out that this mention of abusive is severely exaggerated. | ||

Topics like "I have abusive parents because I don't have an iPhone" deserves the "suck it up response". Topics like this: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=397919 do indeed deserve mental support responses which TL has thoroughly provided. Really, the community is slightly skewed toward negativity in line with the rest of the anonymous Internet, but when someone really needs support or help, the community is there to help out. | ||

Don't mind the haters. Just ignore them. | ||

Somewhere, I feel like Prawned is raging at me. + Show Spoiler + Edit: Fuck you, Prawned, I'll say whatever I want, when I want. Basically, to be honest, at the end of the day, your opinion is just made of a deadly combination of rage, stupidity and shit. You know what I think is completely unnecessary? Adding "fucking" in the middle of sentences. We get it. You used caps/shift key, we know you're mad. But what the fuck. Why don't we just optimize all of dialogue right now by never using adjectives ever again from this point forward? Why would you go "What's the bloody point of saying that." and end the goddamn fucking sentence with a period instead of a question mark at the end of your rant!? | ||
