We don’t need them, yet, you feel the need to tell everyone this and then proceed to claim moral superiority.
Again, pond life, that’s still the most accurate description for yourself, if you had something about you, you’d know when to just say nothing and keep quiet, but you haven’t, so here we are.
One can’t really expect normal behaviour in a cold, unhuman medium like an internet forum. Do you really think any of these commenting negatively are like that in real life? I doubt it.
If you’re on about me. I hope it isn’t. Me in this thread is holding back.
My whole point and thought process is this -
No one is above anyone. We don’t need threads of streamers passing relatives (although very sad) the guy doesn’t even play WoW anymore, and if people actually cared, why not using a platform he’ll see your “support”.
We’re Humans, and true empathy requires actual contact.
Now of course one can want to help others in need or distress-- it just makes the world a better place. My family give to charity frequently, and the people benefiting from that are total strangers-- however I would say it’s impossible to have genuine feelings for those individuals.
As such the liklihood of seeing comments from people who are just trying to be cool, or for some reason like to have an internet personality that isn’t anything like their own (a likely sign of insecurity about something) is much greater.
Game forums do not generally attract only mature minded people.
I’d say if one acts seriously or maturely that would kindle a certain type of mind to rail against it. There’s always going to be some ‘clever edgy’ person who puts comment on a very serious and tragic Twitter announcement or something… it’s just something that will happen in a public and ANONYMOUS place.
There’s no sense of treating them a certain way so they act it, because these comments come out of nowhere. Notoriety is itself a reward so one of the worst things to do is to get upset about it, or talk about how awful they are.
It may well be best to completely ignore them, but personally I find it a little interesting-- there’s probably just some very quick buzz they get out of being that way, or rather, pretending to be that way because no-one can know the wiser.
No you didn’t. I was patronising the ‘badly behaved ‘ on this thread. The analogy works with adults too. Behave online as you do in real life. If that is bad/illegal face the conquences.
As I do. In-fact more so. In what world do you get arrested for being truthful IRL when it comes to sharing where they should or shouldn’t post their virtue signal BS. Some people can’t handle other people sharing their 2 cents, that’s the problem.
Or you know, you can just ignore the topic entirely and let people pay respect how they choose to. Guess it’s so complicated that you feel forced to come here to teach us about your pathetic opinion.
For calling someone a fool? I thought you had me on ignore a minute ago. Follow suite and do it. Fool. The fact you think threatening me with a vacation from a game forum is somehow threatening just goes to show how much you value your posting capabilities. Highly cringe.
