Very nice post op also I love your sig lol

[Titor]

It really might be that it was not even aimed at you. It could have been someone frustrated at a drk who used living dead. Or if you were in shatter it could have been about a drk that jumped off a cliff and died (which happens a lot in this mode and I am not guilty of doing it myself accidentally nope)


I have a hard time believing that this was addressed to you.

Feast is still going on? I miss it... Except when having bad healer and it makes me lose. D:

I'm not following any of your examples.

I assume you heard about the Pulse Nightclub terrorist attack in Orlando aimed at gay people.

I assume you heard about #BlackLivesMatter due to the overwhelming number of black people being killed by American police.

I assume you heard about attacks on Jews by far right groups & Christian Fundamentalists in the American Bible Belt.

If not, then you really need to move away from gaming & find out about what's going on in the world around you.

I assume you heard about #BlackLivesMatter due to the overwhelming number of black people being killed by American police.

I assume you've heard about the refugee rape epidemic going around Europe? Where the news and police don't even REPORT cases because it would be not politically correct? There are thousands of white people that get raped and murdered and it goes completely unreported. So it's not like it's a black problem.

As for back on topic, you have the right to be offended, however the world has the right to not do anything about it. Being able to freely express your opinion is not bullying. I really hate how a lot of spaces are trying to make free speech a crime. It's getting to a point where we will just pretend that everything is alright instead of saying what we think to each others faces because of the fear that the police might step it. If I think that you're overstepping your boundaries, I'm free to insult you, same as you're free to block me.

That seems logical to me. If they were killing people from my religion or hurting them in some way in a particular area, it's very simple to steer away visiting that area.

If it's my way of living, well I have other places I can live and strive in and do things in.

There's more to this world than the internet or in this case, PVP and not everyone can go to every single place on earth due to either physical or mental conditions.

Do you think women shouldn't go out alone, wear skirts or use makeup because "they're asking for it" too as there may be people there who have no morals? Jesus. Why on EARTH can you find it acceptable to force a "type" of people to go elsewhere so a group of people can have an environment that uses hate to exclude others? That was tried in WWII, the Balkan War & during Apartheid in South Africa. If you find that a good way to go about things then there is no help for you.

I don't think that anyone is asking for it, however as a woman I'm well aware that those to walk alone at night in mini skirts are more likely to be targets than those that dress normal in pure daylight. If you're a dude you wouldn't walk around at night alone in fear of getting murdered or robbed. Somehow some things just make sense as self preservation do they not?

Of course I have, it seems to be a particular issue around Köln but that's not the point. It's got nothing to do with media reporting. The point is that it was implied by posters that those who were raped should have expected it by being somewhere with refugees. Absolutely disgusting. Plus, many of the reported rapes were during public celebrations & meetings in public spaces.

Another good suggestion: If you suffer from mental health issues and/or have low self-esteem, stay away from the internet.

<3

I suppose you consider your post as a somewhat mature post ? right ? I suggest you listen to your own comment, you know the part that speaks of *stay away from internet* might be a good thing for the community as a whole

I don't think that anyone is implying that. However if you're at a point where a single uttered comment can send you flying over the edge, perhaps it would be the best if you did not put yourself in situations where you might hear such a thing. That's not to say that it's alright to be abusive. That's to say that there are tools to moderate such abuse such as GMs. However if just hearing abuse once is likely to push you to suicide, just stay away, for your own safety.

EDIT: because I reached my allowed post limit for the day. WHERE DID I IMPLY THAT? Do you walk around at night without any way of protecting yourself? If you get robbed doing so, did we fail to make the world a safe place from robbers? How is the world supposed to read minds before the crime happens? Criminals get punished. However in no society will there ever be 0 criminals. That is simply impossible to achieve. And if you know that it's impossible to achieve, why would you do things on purpose that would put you into harms way? That's not victim blaming. She is not at fault for being assaulted. However was there things that she could have done to save herself the pain of the assault, such as not placing yourself into danger? YES.
