What has gotten into the community these days?

[Kyu-Momo]

The forums these days.... Hm.... I almost miss the troll post spam.... almost.

Let's see....

1) Taking a game so seriously that you insult other people over it
2) Being condescending, insulting, and/or overly aggressive to people who do not share your opinion or dare to be positive/negative

????

Yikes. maybe the stress has gotten to people with all that's going on in the world, which, yeah understandable, but jiminy Christmas, everyone here needs to take a step back and relax.

Housing, glamour, job balancing, etc etc needs work, yes, but that doesn't excuse spewing vitriol at each other.
The people on this forum are not your enemies, they are fellow human beings who want to play this game and have fun, just like you do.

Please, try to be kind to each other.

I think you'll get few agreements on your post. Not because you're wrong, it's a fair observation. But more so because people will be defensive about their opinion either way and state they have the right to express it. So IMO this'll go nowhere. I doubt anyone already upset/overly happy about the game will stop after reading this.

People are self-aware about their reactions. The problem comes when pointing out that it may be a bit of an over-reaction.

first of all everyone has the right to express their opinion, for you it is just a game because maybe you did not invest so much emotionally, financially or time-wise, but for those who really put a lot of effort into the game it is a emotional and can be frustrating when things goes wrong or when the game goes down hill, so I can understand why they are what you call 'over react'.

So my advice to you is that, as long as they are not been toxic or aggressive, what is wrong with their opinion or so you called 'over reaction'? it does not concern you at all.

so mind your own business is the best thing you can do.

I think OP is just trying to encourage everyone to look behind the screen and see the person, not minimize what others are feeling. Its something we can all forget, as I know I have.

I agree that this kind of post will go nowhere. Making a public announcement generalizing everyone like this is not a good look on your part. It comes off high, mighty, and self-righteous. Just ignore toxic posts and stop trying to be everyone's savior. You will fail.

Yeah this post kinda makes it seem you are what the OP is talking about

I'd be more inclined to take the TC seriously if they hadn't been going around tagging several different threads as "whining" when people were voicing perfectly valid complaints/criticism.

With that in mind, this message comes across very differently to me.

well, first I did not say anything wrong, I just express my own opinion, if you think this is not allowed then ask yourself why you are so easily bothered and offended? maybe it is your problem rather than other people.

finally someone said it. no matter how much you put into it, it is just a game and im so sick of all the hate

[MoofiaBossVal]

Interesting to see people taking criticism of the game as a personal attack.
