You guys must be great to have at parties. I'd rather hang out with a bunch of guys who aren't afraid to share their opinions, then some guy who adds nothing to a conversation besides some analytical recap. Because clearly, pointing out that people are taking a comedic blog from a guy mainly known for over the top dick jokes way too personally and seriously doesn't contribute anything to a conversation about that blog, but your post that is about my post and how it doesn't contribute anything does. And Jesus Christ guys, if this is how bitchy you all get when some dude tells you to play games if you want to play them because who gives a fuck what some random internet denizen a world away says about you when you fuck up, I'd hate to see the tantrum you threw when your parents told you to just be yourself at school. No need to get your panty in a twist just because people have different opinions to yourself. He felt that the OP used bullying language. Now you're saying that the OP uses that language outside of his post--suggesting that he has either incorporated that mentality into his psyche or he has normalized his speaking tactics to that of everyday conversation. This suggests that his bullying mentality is something he finds okay both within a blog and outside of a blog; and your need to defend him suggests that you in part agree with him. Which makes sense why you would lash out at anyone suggesting that the OP is saying something offensive because, in a way, they are saying to you that you yourself are offensive--which you don't believe to be true because you feel like you're just a nice guy. I'm sure you and the OP both feel you are nice guys, good job for feeling that, I commend you. But you don't get to dictate how others feel about the way you guys act and view the world. If someone was offended by it then it is in their right to be offended. Also, don't do false equivalencies. He had a problem with the OP redirecting the burden of fault from bullying tactics to that of the victim instead of the perpetrator. A world view he despises due to how it normalizes victim blaming behavior outside of online bullying. Just because he disagrees with the OP does not mean its equivalent to parents talking to you about school. Going into a Pflax thread not expecting this sort of content and then getting personally affronted by it is like watching Dave Chappelle and getting mad there's racial humour. We'll be sure to put appropriate trigger warnings into all our posts next time so as to not offend your delicate sensibilities. Please tag all of your future posts though because I was a victim of theft and your username offends me.
And really, distorting his message into some weird pro-bullying campaign when it literally just boils down to "it's a video game, who gives a fuck" just seems like you're actively going out of your way to be offended, which is what annoys me, not your weird armchair psychology about me being a nice guy or whatever.
Seriously we get it, you're trying to be the belittling intellectual trying to school the lesser minds in some patronizing way, it's very impressive and we're all proud of you.

Thieving Magpie + this thread, could be funny. Let's see how things develop.

Here is my first post in this thread. Its even on page one.

You are trying to apply a logic; proving that human life is insignificant, and therefore concluding that people shouldn't feel so bad the way they do. The problem here is a psychological one however, and I believe can't simply be 'outreasoned'.
Let's take a more serious psychological issue, like a childhood trauma. People who go to the psychiatrist want to get rid of their trauma. Some of them probably also think like you, and say to themselves it is silly to feel the way they do. No matter how much logic they apply, they still feel bad however. The feeling is caused by something more than just our conciousness.
What you are saying here is equivalent to telling a patient "GOH, JUST DONT FEEL SO BAD, SILLY"; which obviously solves nothing.
If every psychological problem could be solved with simple self-applied logic, we wouldn't need psychiatrists would we?
The issue at hand here is nothing as problematic, but I think my example shows that you can't just 'will all your feelings away'.
And I think it's silly to assume so. I think YOU are the silly one here. Well, in fairness to him, its normal to think everyone is like yourself. If you can do something, then everyone can do it (and all that jazz) mentality is something I find very common amongst the people I meet be it racists "everyone should be white like me" or activists "Everyone should be Vegan, just like me" or gamers "everyone should be good at game _____ just like me" etc.... So he isn't acting silly as much as he is acting self-centric.
Where I defend the OP from someone trying to brand his post silly and inaccurate psychotherapy. It is then followed by my 2nd post in this thread where I jokingly tell someone that we will mock him for not being good at games.
My personal opinion of this post is that it is funny. Which is why I defended it and even played along with it.
However, my thinking it is funny does not make it stop being offensive. And someone being offended by it is the whole reason you find the OP funny to begin with. Because you think "oh my, he's a bad ass for using foul language" because you are part of the social group that fetishes forbidden acts so long as those acts are non-committal and requires very little energy for you to do (for example, foul language and making fun of people through the internet).
The reason I responded the way I did to you is because I am tired of people who are actually offended by something to be immediately stifled by people who feel guilty that something they enjoy might not be enjoyed by everyone. Someone got offended, that's what happens when you use offensive language and tropes and is the whole point why the OP writes and talks the way he does--it gives him a feeling of satisfaction to get reactions out of people and its easier to do that by being brash than by being charismatic. It is not an attack on your morals and character for someone to be offended by the OP, there really is no reason for you to get upset. If the OP did not want people to get offended, he would have written in a way as to not be offensive.

At first I was like "yeah, why would people be afraid to play? it's just a game"

If we are going to bring up Dave Chappelle, at least know what his opinions are about how his comedy is understood.

Yes, its bullying language. As you should have seen on my second post in this thread--I enjoy using bullying language. I specifically said that I would get a group of people to buy plane tickets to another country to mock a poster. All in jest, of course, since that is what the OP was about. But it was still offensive language just like phrases such as this is offensive language.
What is your point actually?

Hilarious! Oh so very well played, good sir.

LOL omg this was ridiculously hilarious, thank you for this post. It's got good points too and I think sometimes people might just not understand why they are scared of something or try to avoid doing something, but after thinking it through they may go through some epiphanies.

I tell a lot of my student this as they tell me and look so impressed at their level 90000 prestige they got onCOD, i say, none will ever care at any point or even EVER that you got this. good job.

Beautiful OP, made my day
What the fuck is wrong with some of you people lol? It's nice to have some kind of reposte to the endless 'ladder anxiety' thread. So godamn sick of the over-analysing and pseudo-psychology that goes around it, and it's a relatively recent phenomenon.
Yeah flaming sucks and can make games less enjoyable for sure, but I figured it was more aimed at those who just sit around pontificating about games and giving their 50 cents whilst never ever playing the games for a variety of these issues.

wow, rage with a point.
interesting read

Holy shit this thread is hilarious.

So true.
Though, some people don't want to get better and it's fine if they don't want to play against other people. It's a decision of what you want off of a game and it's one you do for yourself.

It isn't really all that comedic if you have to explain that its a joke, which I'd say more than half the people in here have failed to understand. Personally, I didn't find it funny. Assuming it is intended to be a joke, not only is it in really bad taste, he needs to work on his delivery

So if someone doesn't get a joke, that means it isn't funny? I mean, this is the essence of satire. When Jonathan Swift wrote A Modest Proposal, much of England took it seriously. Does that mean it wasn't comedic?
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
