It has nothing to do with "getting thicker skin" no one should be made to feel uncomfortable or embarassed. "Calling someone out" does nothing to help a situation. People need to learn that not every human being is like them, I'm not gonna say that it bothers ME personally, because I tend to just laugh assholes off and get on with my day, but some people ARE inherently more fragile mentally, emotionally, and no one on the internet will change those people. It's called being human. Learn some damned compassion, the 'net will be a better place for it.
    I could be wrong, but he's talking about calling someone out in content where it matters. Yes, that does help a situation. If someone is causing a problem to the success of a group, consistently, then it needs to be mentioned to them. Not to be an asshole, so that you can figure out what exactly the problem is. Maybe they have a misconception of something, maybe something is going wrong, maybe it's just a bad day! "Calling them out" probably wasn't the best usage of words, more like addressing the person/issue (I could be wrong, I'm just assuming, as this is always how raid content has been handled with me).

    No, not every person is the same, but as I've said earlier in this thread, you can't account for tending to every person's emotional issues, otherwise this wouldn't be a game that requires human interaction, because that's fundamental to human interaction. If someone takes offense to something that does not intend offense, then I'm sorry they feel that way, but it's ultimately their problem to deal with. Could it have been worded better? Maybe. And to say many won't think about if they could have worded something better (I definitely would) would just be naive. But so many people look at what is being said instead of the intent behind it. There's a point where it doesn't matter how you say it, someone somewhere will always take offense. No one said people weren't being compassionate, but in a game where there is success and failure, if there is someone in particular causing failure consistently, it needs to be addressed. That's not being mean, it's the way the world works.

    This whole argument is becoming pointless. It's based off assumptions in every way shape and form and is purely semantics at this point.
