    So I guess you missed the instances where folks are bullied due to not having as high a performance as others. There's a reason SE hasn't put it in the game officially. Let's not pretend this stuff doesn't happen. We literally have folks in these treads saying they would or have kicked for supposed "dead weight" reasons.

    If you're referring to the Koike incident, it's quite disingenuous to blame parsing. While yes, they bullied the woman over her poor performance. They also took to Twitter and harassed her further with sexual remarks and a whole host of other awful things. These were people who made up their mind to be horrible and likely would have done so in any way they could. You can just as easily harass someone via Vote Dismissal, stalking or tell spam—all of which were just as against the rules as belittling someone over their performance. Should we remove those features too?

    Not wanting parsing openly acknowledged in the game is one thing but trying to insinuate it will be the root cause of toxicity is just unfounded doomsay. The only way parsing would ever get that bad is if SE suddenly stopped enforcing their harassment policy.

    I don't to much care about whataboutisms if I'm speaking honestly. Nowhere did I say it's the root cause of anything. I simply said people would use it to harass people. Again folks here have even admitted to this so you have no ground to deny that if you tried.

    Also I'd say it's disingenuous to claim it had nothing to do with parsing with her situation. It's all relative really. Folks just went above n beyond to do more to harass. But that is far from the only situation where folks use parsing to harass others.

    Hell I'm not even against it. I literally said if we put it anywhere put it in savage/ultimate but keep that mess away from the rest of the game. I've seen folks telling people they had crap parses in potd before. Like we don't need that crap at all

    It's disingenious to pretend that just because an official parser was implemented that the TOS on harassment would suddenly vanish. What do you think would happen if I went off on someone failing a mechanic? Why do you think going off on someone's numbers would lead to a different outcome?

    Gosh, thank you. The people who are going to be dicks *already have the means*.

    Also, again, if someone puts up a PF, it's ENTIRELY WITHIN THEIR RIGHT to kick someone who they feel isn't performing to their standards/prevent whoever they want from outright joining.

    Btw what was even the point of the first thing you said? Nothing about my post was disingenuous. It is a fact that parses play a role in people being targeted. If you feel that's disingenuous I suggest you look up what the word means.

    Also sure people CAN kick who they want for whatever reason they deem worthy, just don't be shocked when people call you toxic for it when it's due to a parse number. (Especially in content where that number doesn't really matter). I'll say again to my knowledge console players don't have a means to parse information.

    You're missing the point.

    We all know this. No one is disputing it.

    People are just not making a big deal out of it like you have been.

    They're acknowledging it can happen and that it sucks but that there's more to it than toxicity. You're the only one who seems to demonize it for its potential bad applications :x

    You sure you're not blowing it out of proportion?

    Where did I make a big deal of it though?
    Where did I demonize it? Like legitimately are you paying attention?

    For the what, 3rd time? I said make them legal in Savage and Ultimate but keep it away from the rest of the game. If I was really demonizing it I wouldn't advocate for it in the game at all. Is this really so bad?
