This is my theory... 12 year old comes onto online game and says, "Oh hi, how do you do x" in high voice 21 year old answers, "LOL, I bet your balls have not dropped" (or possibly says, "Oh press y to x!") Now either 3 things can happen A. (most common)12 year old gets mad and starts acting retarded. B. 12 year old gets mad and stops playing altogether C. (least common) 12 year old is like, "fuck you, I will look it up" and becomes a respectable member of video gaming society Branching off of conclusion A this happens: The 12 year old fucks shit up further ruining the name of 12 year olds everywhere the now retarded 12 year old turns 21 and forgets he once was 12 and completes the cycle to make sure the system doesn't get overpopulated that 21 year old turns 40 and kills himself. And then there are the few normal mannered people who play video games. | ||

I basicly be a fucking viking if there was no law. Does that make me ass hole? I dont know really. I think its just what humans do. The internets just a world with no laws. So people figuratively kill, burn, rape, and pillage on the internet because thats what humans do. yep, and not only that but they are anonymous and also stupid/young. | ||

English player: "yo wanna join my party?" Japanese player: "Sorry to bother you, but we would be honored to have you accompany our party, if that's not too much trouble." It seemed so backwards for people to be significantly more polite and formal online than they would be irl. | ||

Niche gaming communities = polite and respectful I'm not sure why it works that way. You go play something really mainstream like halo and people call eachother names, insult eachother's mothers, they bitch, they whine, they're sore losers. You go play something like starcraft of quake live and people have honor codes. They never say anything disrespectful, they always say GG before and after games - the digital equivalent of a bow or a handshake. They're polar opposites. And it has nothing to do with age. I've played with SC and QL players who were 13-14 and they were as mature as grown adults. | ||

Japanese player: "JP ONRY" fixed btw, at one point i found a BLM JP player talking shit about me in japanese in party chat, calling me a stupid paladin. i could read that much. he wasn't exactly a great BLM either as the rest of the party was part of my linkshell and would shit on him in LS chat. | ||
