Slap Emote

[micropanther7]

There's a lala (no surprises there) on Cerberus who spammed a custom emote, (he'd have loved the /slap emote lol haven't seen him around in awhile), which I found pretty funny, got him back!

(sorry for large pic, enlarge and look at chat)



But some people just really hate them, and see it as a personal attack :/ So I'm really careful about emoting with random people, only if they emote first. If OP is serious, there's more to this story, I find it hard to believe that multiple people got really offended just from the slap emote.

I think this /slap emote here is kinda different from the slap people seems to have an idea of.

It seems to be more like when someone made a joke, and then you slap them in the back, hence the smiling. I don't think it's one of those negative kind of slap.

I think you're right. I never saw it as the agressive kind either

Yes, i take violence against females very serious.



No, it's not. I've spoken to some of the abused player (one from my fc), and they all said that they were ashamed by what had happend to them. Does not sound funny to me.
I don't think that it's part of "enjoying the game" when you get slapped around by a "funny" player.

You're a massive troll. Go back to Tumblr.

Slap is love, slap is life.

Here's the answer to life's greatest problem. Hide the emote text. *Mind blown*

This thread triggered me so hard.

I want a kick emote.

I was disappointed we didn't have one.

I'm sorta reminded how in XI to some folks /poke was like the worst thing you could possibly do to them. Like, legit would send people into fits of rage. I think it was the JP player side mostly if I recall right; lots would take it as some grave insult. Just one of the worst things you could do and could so quickly turn you into some pariah, lol.

I don't recall /poke being an issue but checking (examining) people did "offend" some, mostly JP, players. Frankly, I didn't see it start to offend NA players until after it became semi-common knowledge that it offended some JP players.

If I recall correctly, the JP version would say "Name stares at you intently." and the NA version said "Name examines you." I think the whole taking offense to being checked/examined thing started in other, earlier MMOs with RPers and then caught on with non-RPers because... people are stupid.

Omg, I remember this sooo much. I would be no better tho, I would keep examining them til they teleported or left the area. Only time I really examine people is cuz they had a piece of gear that looked nice and wanted to know what it was.
