So much getting angry at words on the Internet, this is why we can't have nice things

The execution of that blog could have been soooo much better. As it was it just came across as sophomoric.

Which makes TB's indignation all the more hilarious. Nothing like letting those teenagers get you all riled up over your Platinum (dare I say high Gold?) Sc2 play.

That argument might have a lot more validity if the guy hasn't been going off on self-righteous, narcissistic indignation on literally anything that offends his ego in the slightest ways for years.

Or it's just one of multiple ways to react, maybe this is just his internet persona because actually speaking with your native emotional state on the internet can be a terrible experience unless you are in a circle jerk community that just happens to agree with you.

lol way to stereotype and detract from your anecdotal evidence

Nah, TB's been like this for longer than you think. I'm pretty sure that this is just what law school graduates with IQs of 155 naturally act like

This, this, this. TB is such an easy target for troll'ish behavior because he always goes into "tough guy" mode on the internet lol. I remember one time he was talking about punching some guy in the face if he ever met him at a live event.

The blog could have been so much more, but overall I still got a laugh out of it mostly because I knew how poorly TB would react to it when he found it. I wasn't disappointed.

I find pretty unhilarious that you cannot post hilarious "battle reports" anymore. Celebrities are high up so that they don't meddle with kids, and they let kids have fun, unless they are TB. That was funny battle report, stupid but funny, akin to things like Chill vs CombatEx things that SC2 scene does not have almost at all (which makes it kinda boring).

At the time of creating the BR I didn't plan to directly offend TB. I did everything in a light-hearted manner. I just assumed that if TB saw it he would think that the jokes were jocular.

I think 85% of all Totalbiscuits posts are either part of an argument or him being overly defensive. It's a shame really that someone with such a big fan base and obvious passion for gaming/ esports can't be a little less of an 'angry man' at times and take things as more of a joke. Doesn't need to be so defensive ALL the time, not everything is character assassination or w/e.

No matter who you are and what sort of fame you find, putting yourself in that situation means you open yourself up for the good, the bad and the ugly... It just happens. Getting angry about it so much aint good.

Your post was amusing to me anyway and I don't think it was that much of a bad joke/ troll... Certainly not in the 'bad' or 'ugly' to me, but then I wasn't the 'butt' of the joke.

Don't take it personally IMO!

Because when you put as much effort into growing gaming and esports as he does, you'd very much rather not get shat on by entitled StarCraft 2 fanbois who are new and don't know anything about gaming or esports history.

When I saw OP, I was like

But when I saw TB's response, I was like

Because EVERYTHING on the internet is about shitting on someone right?

Nobody ever does things as a joke?

To quote someone in the thread, TB's reactions to trolls/jokers/random people could just put people off him. Certainly does put me off.



Whereas if he'd just posted something like 'lol, you got me' and moved on, the thread wouldn't have descended into people arguing about if its was right/ wrong, trolling or not and life would have moved on. TB might have gained a few more fans and we could all have enjoyed a funny BR thread.

But oh no. Don't go posting your funny BR's, you are clearly just shitting on someone........... (Sarcasm btw, a lot of people fail to detect it).
