"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[Exosapien]

Honestly most likely the reason things so horrible in real life this days is because streamers made gaming for everyone so now there is no escape, no way to let out negative emotions scream shout curse etc.

Honestly virtual sights,games need to return to 2010 ways and stop beimg on their high horse acting like they wouldn't react when stressed, frustrated. When many players play games to relax from having to remain silent and holding in negative pressure.

Not everything needs to be justified or "normal" things could just be a way to get out thoughts, and frustration.

I really do not understand your point about streamers, however I'll never consider it normal get so upset that it would be even an impulse to start cussing at people over video games. That honestly just feels very unstable.

My point is they bring in this "normal" types into gaming that Honestly dont belong in the gaming world. Also many people game as its a safe place were they don't have to worry about being "unstable" which is why they arent social in real life.

I have no clue what people "don't belong in the gaming world." What is a "normal" type?

Gaming is literally for everyone.

The idea that we should just put up with people verbally harassing others because "gaming is their safe space to harass others" is absolute nonsense.

For what it's worth, some of the kindest people I have ever met happened to swear like sailors. I don't know why so many people in the present day act like the simple act of swearing is some horrid, unforgivable sin. Yet it is what it is with the rules as they are, I suppose.

On the other hand, I have consistently found people overly concerned with the use of tone and language to be some of the nastiest, spiteful and manipulative individuals that I have ever encountered. I've also found them to be pretty flaky and unreliable.



I envy those within the FFXIV community who haven't been exposed to such things. I really do.

Let's not pretend they were talking about casual conversation with some salty language. Everyone I know swears all the time, but there's a major difference when you aim it at people like a weapon. They specifically said they were cussing at people who were "frustrating" them because they were "throwing a pvp match."

Like let's be real for a second.

Such things don't generally bother me, personally. My time is precious and I consider most other people's time to be precious as well. If people are deliberately throwing a PvP match in order to 'lose faster' or 'feed the enemy points' or the like then I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep if someone chooses to get frustrated and call them out.

Some people are just hot headed after all. It's a personality trait and I rather suspect the attempts to 'fix' and 'punish' such people are unlikely to lead anywhere pleasant. In no small part due to how it often overwhelmingly impacts and excludes people who grew up in rougher environments.

I'm not at all suggesting that players who swear shouldn't ever be punished. To me it's more so a matter of context. In a fair world, if someone is banned for swearing at another player for throwing a match then the player throwing the match would be banned as well.

Noone is asking you to out up with anything just saying what your calling unstable,cruel, or trolling isnt thats the joy of gaming there is supposed to be no "normality".

Games give choices you can block,ignore etc a person however you would rather not use the system giving. Instead you use the game makers rules to shove your real life normal bs on people making gaming more and more into everone being the same and drone like behavior.
As I said before people cursing at another is heat of the moment, plus could be stressing over real life bs using the game as an escape.

Maybe if you want normality dont go into virtual things and stay on the sports bs

Sorry, but did you just tell me that verbally harassing other players is, "the joy of gaming"?

The idea that people should be able to harass others because they "could be stressing over real life bs using the game as an escape" as if the people you're out there verbally harassing could not possibly be doing the same thing. Not. An. Excuse.

Drone like behavior? Everyone the same? What are you talking about? None of what you're saying even makes sense.

You're not special and unique because you cuss people out on the internet. What are you even talking about? Sports? What?

No i didnt i was saying being different having differnce from different unquie ppl to be around is the joy.

Stop twisting what is said.

I dont sware at people normally but if im under pressure with situations or something it may slip.

All I'm saying is we neee to understand people slip when frustrated and stressed and yell,sware or say things they dont mean out of anger not on purpose.

Things/situations are not black and white. People havebad days, slip ot of frustration or overwhelm emotions.
There is a difference in someone trashy doing it 24/7 and a time to time slip up.

Shhhh you must put up with everyone's bs all the time, they can run down die 10 times never do any mecanics right / waste your time talking for nonsense all the time you have no right to ever call this out or cuss at anyone.
You got better dps than both ur DPS as a tank ? Have fun dude they're enjoying the game and make your experience as great as possible and you can't say anything about it.

Sarcasm aside, if you start to listen to ppl here everyone is depressed antisocial stressed and triggered by everything you can say and that's normal to put up with terrible ppl both skillwise or attitude because you must be friendly at all cost no matter how bad and lazy they are, so yay best community ever yay.

I'm not twisting what you said at all. We're talking about people flipping out and cussing out strangers because they don't like what they did in a video game.

No one was talking about "being different" from each other.

"we neee to understand people slip when frustrated." It really depends on the situation, and being understanding of that is different than just sitting back and letting people verbally harass us.

Dropping a no-no word once in a while is different than flipping out and harassing other people for making mistakes in video games.

If your definition of the difference between a "drone" and an interesting person is whether they can be civil or not then you should probably work on your commmunication skills to be honest.

Also, have you considered for a moment that people with different views to you might also be using gaming as an escape, maybe they are getting bullied, or in an abusive relationship and would rather not get the same treatment while trying to chill out?
