Names against T&C's not being changed

Don’t worry about me. You should seriously consider taking a look at your way of life and think about the person you want to be. We’re not in the golden age of /b/ anymore. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to grow up and realise that the toxic behaviour isn’t only hurting other, but ourselves as well.

But heck, what do I know, you probably got your life together and living your dream right now.

Because they are stupid kids, with no real interest in playing Classic WoW - they’re just running around the place doing their best to offend people like the edgy edgelords they are.

Well they’re taxi drivers, not idiots. They will re-skill and find something else to work as. Long term unemployment rates globally are also at a 20 year low.

I am not painting a utopian world, however negativity is what sells in the media and the facts are that things are actually improving globally.

I know. Humanity is growing weaker due to how people are so ready to go scream “Ban dos sick filf!”

Oh wait… You’re ome of those people, judging by this sentence. Nevermind.

Let me ask you this; Is anyone legitimatepy hurt or harmed by these names? Or are you trying to be offended in honor of the people who probably have bigger things to worry aboit than some name in a videogame?

Let’s see what is more “Toxic”…

Someone looking at a name, and responding with either a “Eh” or just moves on and ignores the player.
Or an individual trying to report said character and possibly hope that the player gets banned as well.

Generally their personalities don’t really reflect their names. Many years ago in a different MMO, I was invited to a guild called ‘Fourth Reich’. I only joined because they were the top guilds in PvP. They were the biggest sweethearts I had ever met, seriously. Seven years later I’m still friends with them to this day. I’ve been harassed by more people with legitimate roleplaying names than “offensive” ones.
Moral of the story: Never judge a book by its cover.

There’s absolute no hope for people who try to bring far right politics into a discussion about video games.

I wish there was some kind of filter or macro available that would instantly block anybody, anywhere on the internet that used garbage alt right memes like ‘SWJ’ ‘cuck’ ‘snowflake’ ‘soy boy’ etc. etc. so that I wouldn’t have to suffer their nonsense - but sadly these forums don’t even have a normal block function.

On my darker says, I fondly imagine a device that instantly sends 250 volts up the bottoms of any person who uses these words and phrases - so maybe I’m a bad man :thinking:

Its *current year* man!

Except politically and environmentally, I’d say you were right.

If a random bus crashes somewhere in a far-off place with a few casualties it’ll be mentioned in the media, meanwhile we have no idea how things are in Syria or the Ukraine… It’s all clickbait news, nowadays - sensation sells - and it’s making people stupid and uncaring.

Star Wars Jedi?

Have you no clue about what’s going on in the world? A world where gay people get harassed and beaten. A world where people are openly spewing far-right ideologies, enticing violence against black people, jews and muslims?

It all starts with words. Words that dehumanize, words that hurt, words that destroy.

On a serious note, look at the two groups in this thread. Who is insulting who? I rest my case.

Am I insulting you for asking you to reconsider your life? If that hits close to home then maybe you know it’s true, and maybe it’s time to change.

I know change can be scary, but it’s worth it. Being a better person gives you a better life as well. :slight_smile:

To be honest, it’s not exactly fun being gay in communist paradises like Cuba, Venezuela, and China. And I won’t even start about the more…veiled places, if you catch my drift.

Bigots exist across the whole political spectrum, and in general personality make-up in politics is more of a horseshoe matter than a simple ‘left-right’ dychotomy.

But all this is rather missing the point of naming policies, many people play these kind of games to GET AWAY from the real world shizz, so ANY political reference is less than ideal.

So neither Vegan nor National Socialist German Workers Party references are okay (Hitler being a vegetarian muddles the issue btw).

No actually it didn’t hit close, I was talking about the cancer thing and the rest of it.

I was merely stating that defending derogatory words and speech is the cancer that is slowly destroying society, which is just my opinion, just as you thinking it’s fun to gas jews is your opinion.

I also said that it’s starting to smell of incel neckbeards in this thread because a lot of reasoning going on, is the same that incels and neckbeards use. Again, just my opinion.

I never targeted you in any way, just said that your opinions and statement are toxic and harmful to other people, which they are.

Let me put it into perspective for you.

I dont give a damn about anyone naming themselves anything. I live a nice life in blissful ignorance and I dont hurt anybody with it.

Meanwhile you are distressed, sad and overall in a bad mood because you care about what others do.

Who is living a better life?

There’s a difference between not caring and defending/promoting. You can go around being ignorant all your life, but if you start spewing said ignorance, that’s when it becomes toxic.

Oh I’ll just put down my phone when I’m done with this and not give a care in the world, snuggle my bunny a bit and have some breakfast. Don’t worry about me. :slight_smile:

I never said that. I only find the name funny. It’s wrong, and absolutely ban worthy, but I don’t care enough to report.
Btw it’s quite ironic how you use these derogatory terms left and right, but complain about the same thing.
