But even more so, if you just wait one minute to think about whether or not it would be a good idea to tell a player to kill themselves the answer should always end up being no. If you think otherwise, you are the problem, and not the other player. | ||

I read it as it was ok to tell people to kill themselves exactly because there was such a strong correlation between online and IRL behaviour. But maybe I got that wrong, at which point I guess it's advisable to kill myself? | ||

What a strange place your mind is, where it's ok to tell people to go kill themselves. And I don't follow... Are you saying that part of what is wrong with this world is that people are not encouraging each other to commit suicide enough? Or is the problem with the world that people are telling you that you shouldn't encourage suicide? | ||

She did much more then just "tell" him to kill himself. I can tell by your spelling you aren't much of a reader tho. | ||

Seems like you are part of the population that isn't negatively affected by a suggestion of suicide. There are people that have mental issues and are gravely affected by such comments. These people also plays videogames. Are you implying that just because they have a weaker mentality they shouldn't be a part of gaming at all? I don't like that notion even one bit. I get the feeling that you cannot sympathise with these people, but try to be empathetic and see what it's like for them. | ||

It's not a difficult concept, syllables arranged in a certain order cannot under any circumstance harm you, if it does it's because you've allowed it to on some level. If someone hits you in the face then yah you probably have cause for concern. The internet and gaming have raised weaker individuals because the absolute worst someone can do to you on the internet is say mean things, and because of that you have no perspective on what actual pain is. | ||

Yeah no fuck this. If the only reason you are saying or writing something is to hurt someone (Which, lets be honest, is the point when people start talking about "you should kill yourself", "Get cancer", "I rape your mom", or anything like that), that is entirely on the person writing it. You don't get to blame people for being "weak" and demand that they get "stronger" if they don't want that to happen to them. Blame the asshole that is trying to hurt people, not the person that didn't pass your criteria for being a strong person and got hurt. Mental pain is real pain, too. Mental health is a very real issue for a lot of people. People who claim that only physical health is real because any mental health problems are "all in your head" are assholes. Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean that it affects no one, or that the people who are affected by it are at fault. Your macho definition of strength sucks. The only problem are the assholes who try to hurt other people, not the people who are "not strong enough" (aka don't have an insane amount of mental armor built up from dealing with too many assholes already, and are thus not already totally jaded) and get hurt. | ||

Yep, I usually play unranked, and I always get people insulting me when I (rarely) win and I don't want to leave the game to give them the win because "I'm unranked anyway"  p.s. the "macho" mentality displayed in the previous post by some people is really disturbing, we are talking about a game... | ||

Yeah, no, fuck this...... The difference between mental pain from someone calling you names and the pain from getting hit in the face is that you are a pussy. Plain and simple. You are a pussy if you let someone else'es noises from their mouth "hurt" you...and if you kill yourself because some stranger online or your bitch-ex-gf says to, well then maybe it was god's plan.... Listen, grow the fuck up.... life is a lot harder than people trolling people online and if you think not, then you prolly should just kill yourself, save yourself all that "MENTAL PAIN" that life is going to inflict on that ass, bro. ggnore User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I agree mostly with you Simberto as it's most sensible, but can't it somewhat be both? The person saying mean things for the sake of hurting someone emotionally is the instigator and not given justified reasons, is always the person in the wrong. However I feel if you are so emotionally vulnerable that words from a nobody asshole stranger causes you so much emotional stress that it ruins your day or potentially your life, I think it is good advice to look for ways to get stronger and better shielded against bullshit. The world can be cruel and most likely it will continue to be cruel, so we might as well be prepared for that when it comes to words. Still I would never shift blame here, if you're an asshole, try to stop, it doesn't help you or anyone, and often it can be contagious when it comes to online environments. | ||
